China's Military Modernization and Corruptions

China continues its aggressive military modernization program across all domains, investing in nuclear power, cyber capabilities, and space technology. However, there are concerns about corruption and its effects on their military capabilities. Recent purging and termination of senior PLA leaders due to corruption highlights the systemic rot within the organization and questions the readiness of the Chinese military. While China's military modernization is significant, it does not mean an imminent invasion of Taiwan. The US and its allies are focused on strengthening deterrence through combat credible capabilities, force posture, new operational concepts, and cooperation with partners in the region.
