China s increased defence spending, outsize ambition and growing coordination of civilian and military technologies and capabilities represent a potential threat to American interests and operations in the Pacific, according to US analysts. The US cannot afford to take its focus off maintaining parity or a lead on China, said Larry Wortzel, a senior fellow at the American Foreign Policy Council.
