Tom Cotton (R) has sounded the alarm on China\u2019s ambition to dominate the world. Beijing\u2019s recent military developments and acts of aggression are putting the Biden administration on its heels.<\/p>\n<p>During an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UFR4qJgLgYs\">interview<\/a> with conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt, Cotton warned China aims to challenge U.S. hegemony. The Republican lawmaker also derided Democrats for downplaying the potential negative affects of competing with China.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe want to beat China,\u201d he stated. \u201cChina is waging a Cold War against us. A part of the Cold War is military buildup, not just these hypersonic missiles, but the new missile silos their building in western China, fortifying their air force and naval capabilities just across Taiwan. These are on pace with their efforts to replace the United States as the world\u2019s dominant super power.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>These warnings came after recent reports detailed China\u2019s successful launch of a hypersonic missile in August, a move that reportedly shocked the U.S. Intelligence Community. The missile reportedly circled earth in low orbit before accelerating to hit its target, which it missed by around 24-miles.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cChina is waging a cold war against us. Part of that cold war is the military buildup, not just these hypersonic glide missiles, but the new missile silos they\u2019re building in Western China,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenTomCotton?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SenTomCotton<\/a> to me this AM. Audio\/transcript: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nYBfGLO0YK\">https:\/\/t.co\/nYBfGLO0YK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Hugh Hewitt (@hughhewitt) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hughhewitt\/status\/1450537703359979527?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 19, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Reports also point to the Chinese Communist Party moving forward with plans to add missile silos to their arsenal with hundreds of new silos already being built. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Defense in 2020 released a report calling attention to the CCP\u2019s plans to create a \u201cworld class military\u201d by 2049.<\/p>\n<p>Pentagon researchers conceded China has already hit several milestones, including building the world\u2019s largest naval force with around 350 ships, submarines and surface combatants. The CCP also has more than 1,200 ballistic and cruise missiles.<\/p>\n<p>However, Cotton reaffirmed America\u2019s military might while claiming the U.S. military is far more advanced than any other country in the world. He then urged the Biden administration to wake up amid China\u2019s advancements and officially declare the CCP a threat.<\/p>\n<p>The Arkansas senator has been a leading U.S. lawmaker in the fight against China\u2019s ascension, drafting bills to curb Chinese propaganda from hitting U.S. shores, money from being funneled into American universities and exploitation of American farmers.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/mark-meadows-trump-white-house-book-has-behind-the-scenes-stories-others-have-missed\/\">Mark Meadows: Trump White House Book Has \u2018Behind The Scenes Stories Others Have Missed\u2019<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
