Washington, Dec 19 : US President Donald Trump has outlined a new national security strategy that identifies China a “revisionist” power that has expanded its power at the “expense of the sovereignty of others in the region.
”
“China is using economic inducements and penalties, influence operations, and implied military threats to persuade other states to heed its political and security agenda,” says the strategy unveiled on Monday.
China and Russia, the document says, “are determined to make economies less free and less fair, to grow their militaries, and to control information and data to repress their societies and expand their influence.
”
Both “use technology, propaganda, and coercion” to shape a world that goes against US interests and values, it says.
The strategy document accuses Russia of “using subversive measures to weaken the credibility of America’s commitment to Europe, undermine transatlantic unity, and weaken European institutions and governments.
