Ex-PLA colonel warns of China US tensions amid nuclear buildout
The PLA is preparing for its 2027 centenary, a benchmark that Beijing has set for the force’s future development.
The South China Morning Post focuses on comments from retired People’s Liberation Army senior colonel Zhou Bo about the trajectory of US and China relations and how China is expanding its nuclear capabilities. Zhou Bo, now a senior fellow at Tsinghua University’s Centre for International Security and Strategy, points to the People’s Liberation Army approaching its 2027 centenary, a major milestone Beijing has set. The story is framed as an analysis of what China’s posture could mean for future tensions, drawing on Zhou Bo’s perspective and his book, Should the World Fear China? , according to the outlet.
