China improving its military posture and force projection

China is pursuing a long-term, steady economic growth in the region through its One Belt, One Road policy and improving military posture by connecting ports such as Gwadar in Pakistan, a top American General said. The project is aimed at building regional connectivity with rail, road, pipelines and optical cable fibre network. It connects China's Xinjiang province with Pakistan Gwadar port, providing access to China to the Arabian Sea.
