The civilian head of the United States Army expressed apprehension on Tuesday about the military advances China has achieved over the past two decades and described the steps the US is taking in response to bolster its posture in the Indo-Pacific.

“I’m quite concerned, obviously, about the PLA threat,” said Christine Wormuth, Secretary of the Army, said, referring to the People’s Liberation Army. “They’ve embarked on a very impressive 20-year effort to comprehensively modernise their military across every single service.”
