China's Military
China's military is developing longer-range ballistic and anti-ship missiles that are "shifting the balance of power in the region" and could help Beijing secure resources or settle territorial disputes. China also continues to build up short-range missiles and increase its "coercive capabilities" against Taiwan. It's possible that China is trying to scare Taiwan into siding with China on the cross-strait dispute in favor of China. While China continues to proclaim that its military buildup is for defense purposes to protect its interests, the report says the country's lack of transparency is worrisome and could lead to an unintended conflict.

This is worrisome. China's recent activities with military build-up have been keeping surrounding nations on their toes. The worst part is that China is not being transparent about their operations, which suggests they may have something to hide.
