  • China's Global Military Power Projection Challenge to the United
    China’s Global Military Power Projection Challenge to the United States Testimony Before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, United States House of Representatives, 17 May 2018 By Richard D. Fisher, Jr, Senior Fellow International Assessment and Strategy Center Mr. Chairman and Distinguished Members of this Committee: Thank you for the privilege of offering testimony before this Committee regarding China’s global military power projection ambitions and the challenge it poses to the United States, its Allies, and its friends. I also offer my gratitude for this Committee’s leadership and deliberations concerning the growing challenge from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to the freedom and security of the United States. It is also encouraging that our military and IC leaders are noting China’s troubling intentions, actions, and capabilities. In his recent Senate confirmation hearing Pacific Command (PACOM) Commander, Admiral Davidson stated that China’s is ‘the most ambitious military modernization in the world;” and that along with improving its ballistic missiles, “China is pursuing advanced capabilities which the United States has no current defense against;” adding, “…it is increasingly clear that China wants to shape a world aligned with its own authoritarian model…” His predecessor, Admiral Harris, told the House Armed Services Committee in February that China’s military buildup “could soon challenge the United States across almost every domain” adding that, “China’s intent is crystal clear. We ignore it at our peril.” Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) Chairman General Dunford has stated that China is likely to pose “the greatest threat to our nation by about 2025” as it focuses,” on limiting our ability to project power and weakening our alliances in the Pacific.” These concerns are echoed by the Intelligence Community leadership, especially as relates to cyber, information, influence and technology theft activities.

    Where are the Agencies Human Space Flight (HFR) Programs Heading? The following little summary tries to collect and compare data available on official an semi-official agency and other internet pages (as of October 2014) to show where the human spaceflight is heading in the future. The summary is by no means complete, however a trend might be detectable: The next two big goals, setting foot on the Moon again and flying astronauts/cosmonauts/taikonauts to Mars and guide them safely down to the surface could only be achieved as an international enterprise.
