China National Security Strategy 2026: Pivoting to Worst-Case Resilience
Explore the China national security strategy 2026 as Beijing pivots toward technology and energy self-sufficiency amidst a worsening global security landscape and trade war risks.
The celebration of success was short-lived. While China hit its twin marks of tech advancement and macro stability in 2025, the dawn of 2026 brings a cold reality. A rapidly deteriorating global security environment is forcing national priorities to shift toward preparing for worst-case scenarios.

It's no longer just about growth; it's about building a fortress economy capable of withstanding prolonged external shocks.
