He labeled China’s military modernization as “the biggest threat since World War 2,” highlighting its potential to destabilize the Indo-Pacific region.
Aquilino noted China’s ambitious military expansion, particularly in aviation capabilities. China has made significant progress in developing advanced fighter aircraft and stealth bombers, posing a challenge to US military dominance in the region.
