The only thing that comes to mind for me is the cyber threat which China poses ( and it is huge ). But apart from that have they been test firing missiles or built new radar sites etc?
China has been an economic and military threat for decades, what has changed the posture recently?The US is deepening its alliance with Australia. Some 2,500 US marines are going to be deployed to Darwin, at Australia's northernmost tip, and more US aircraft are going to be rotating through Australian bases.
American troops already operate in South Korea, Japan, Guam and the Philippines. Now they'll have another foothold in Asia, spreading their reach, and positioning US forces a little further away from Chinese missiles.
The message is that America is ensuring it is strategically poised to project power over the vital trade routes that pass through the South China Sea, and it wants to reassure its partners in Asia it is cementing that position.
