FT: US signals hard line on China

From the Financial Times:

The Pentagon is preparing to ratchet up its assessment of the threat of China’s expanding military, in a signal that the Bush administration is increasingly concerned about China’s growing ambitions in the region.

The 2005 Quadrennial Defense Review, the formal assessment of US military policy, will take a more pessimistic view of the challenge posed by an emerging Chinese superpower than the 2001 overview.
