As current leader of the Communist Party, Xi Jinping is expected to secure an unprecedented third term in power this month. If he succeeds, the United States will see a more belligerent and dangerous China, according to Bradley Thayer, the director of China policy at the Center for Security Policy and co-author of the book “Understanding the China Threat.”

“The U.S. priorities should first be to prepare for a far more aggressive and assertive China than what we have encountered thus far,” Thayer said on NTD’s “China in Focus” program.
