This week, in the special program of Sarkari Result Daily News Network, we wanted to know from Brigadier Mr. DS Tripathi ji (retired) how do you see the Rand Corporation report on the capabilities of the Chinese Army? In response, he said that a new report by major think tank Rand Corporation has raised suspicion on the war preparation of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) despite China’s rapid military modernization. He said that this is when China has created the world’s largest navy and has continued to increase its Air Force, missile capabilities and cyber war equipment. He said that this report argues that the PLA is originally focused on maintaining the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) rule rather than preparing for high intensity war.
Brigadier Mr. DS Tripathi ji (retired) said that the conclusions challenges the major narrative that China’s military progress makes him a adjacent military threat to the US and its allies, especially in Indo-Pacific. He said that instead, the report states that the main priority of the PLA is internal stability and political control. He said that concerns have increased between the increasing tension between the US-China, especially Taiwan. He said that some military analysts have warned that China could lead a decisive military lead by 2027. However, the Rand report states that despite its impressive arsenal, the Chinese army still has to prove its ability to run a complex joint campaign for the modern war.
Brigadier Mr. DS Tripathi ji (retired) said that according to another report, American intelligence assessment suggests that President Xi Jinping took several steps recently to eliminate corruption from the army. He said that extensive corruption in China has created serious concerns about the country’s military preparations. He said that this report raises doubts over the efforts of Xi’s efforts to strengthen the Chinese army and increase China’s strategic abilities.
Brigadier Shri DS Tripathi ji (retired) said that American officials now believe that the scale of corruption has reduced the possibility of big military action by Xi in the near future. He said that widespread misconduct in major military areas has greatly weakened China’s abilities to fight war, causing concerns about its operational preparations. He said that the US intelligence report has been quoted as saying that instead of carrying forward aggressive military initiative, Xi needs to focus on restricting the internal weaknesses and restoring China in China’s defense infrastructure Is. He said that if the Chinese army is politically forced and struggles with corruption and internal disabilities, then the possibility of a full -scale war with the US may be very low.
