The U.S. military is making a potential Chinese Communist Party (CCP) invasion against Taiwan across the Taiwan Strait more difficult, said Army Gen. Ronald P. Clark, commander of U.S. Army Pacific.

Speaking at an event hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) on June 27, Clark said that China’s military is advancing its capabilities, procedures, and technologies at a pace never seen before. He added that China is also “learning from ongoing conflicts” to improve its ability to operate in a joint military capacity.
