US defense report once again fails to convince

The US Department of Defense recently published yet another report on China's military capabilities. The US military has been publishing these reports every year since 2000.

It seems these kinds of assessment reports have not been able to effectively boost propaganda about China's military threat as its authors hoped, at least not as fully effective as intended.

The report was read and commented on by all relevant departments of the US government before its release, therefore it reflects a certain consensus among those administrative offices, including the omission of some paragraphs pedaling the China threat theory.
