China Extending Its Military Reach Across the Pacific

China is extending its reach into the Pacific by building military infrastructure at crucial points across the region, according to a Sinopsis report published Monday titled “China’s Dual-Use Infrastructure in the Pacific.” The report says:

• China is prioritizing building strategically advantageous ports, airports and fisheries, among other infrastructure, throughout the Pacific region.
• As dual-use infrastructure, it combines civilian and military purposes.
• “These projects enhance China’s regional influence, support military operations, and enable intelligence gathering,” according to the report.

On the warpath: China is ready and willing to go to war to gain control of Asia and beyond.

• A report published in March found that China now accounts for 53.3 percent of global shipbuilding output, dwarfing America’s 0.1 percent.
• China’s bullying of sovereign nations in their territorial waters has been extensively reported.
• Chinese General Secretary Xi Jinping has signaled that China is unafraid of escalating trade tensions, and he recently implemented measures to improve China’s combat readiness.

Beijing aims to reshape regional power dynamics and challenge U.S.-led alliances. Its military expansion, strategic infrastructure projects and resource acquisitions reinforce this agenda.
