Pentagon's China fixation risks neglecting other global security threats

Summary

The article argues that the U.S. Department of Defense under Pete Hegseth has become overly fixated on China as the sole strategic threat, neglecting other critical global security challenges. Drawing on a metaphor of a juggler handling multiple balls, the author contends that good strategy requires managing multiple problems simultaneously rather than focusing on a single adversary. The piece critiques the Pentagon's China-centric approach as strategically narrow and potentially dangerous, urging a more balanced and multi-faceted national security strategy.
