The U.S. intelligence community is sounding the alarm about the national security threat posed by China, with two major recent intelligence assessments warning about aggressive actions the Communist Party takes to maintain and grow its power in the world.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence released an annual threat assessment on Tuesday ahead of a Worldwide Threats hearing scheduled for Wednesday, with the report leading off with a lengthy description of China’s military, economic, technological, diplomatic, cybertheft, and malign influence efforts to grow its power. This follows the National Intelligence Council’s Global Trends 2040 report released last week, which laid out the long-term challenges posed by a rising China.
