Something for Australian strategy planners to ponder about.

At a ‘Threat Status’ panel hosted by The Washington Times, U.S. Senator Tim Sheehy (R-MT), a member of the Senate Committee on Armed Services, used his assessment of the battles between India and Pakistan as a proxy to indicate his belief that America might be losing the battle for technological superiority in warfare to global rival China.

According to The Atlantic‘s Josh Rogin, Sheehy said: “Pakistan appears to have won every engagement so far with Chinese technology against the largely Western technology used by India. That’s not good for us.”

The former Navy SEAL Sheehy also reportedly said China is no longer a “near peer competitor,” but rather a “peer to peer competitor” with the United States.
