US remarks on greatest danger to global hegemony

(RT) ⸻ The US intelligence community believes China is the biggest threat to the Western-dominated world order, with concerns over Beijing dominating the annual report presented to the Senate Intelligence Committee. The report states that China seeks to promote a China-led alternative to often US and Western-dominated international development and security forums and frameworks, and that China is "central to global supply chains" when it comes to semiconductors, rare earth minerals, batteries, solar panels, and pharmaceuticals. The report admits that China is capable of using this dominant position "in an attempt to accomplish its goals, although probably not without significant cost to itself." The US intelligence community also believes that China will "limit public support" for Russia, but continue to maintain "diplomatic, defense, economic, and technology cooperation" with Moscow in order to "continue trying to challenge" the US.
