According to the annual "Threat Assessment of the US Intelligence Community" published by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in February, it was concluded that the CCP will persist in its endeavors to fulfill President Xi Jinping's vision of positioning China as the foremost power in East Asia and a significant player on the global stage.
As Xi embarks on his third term as China's leader, the CCP will strive to exert pressure on Taiwan for unification, diminish US influence, create divisions between Washington and its allies, and promote norms that align with its authoritarian system.
