Collective misjudgments not collective insights

A main hindrance to repairing the Sino-US relations is that some in Washington stubbornly regard China as the United States' archrival.
The latest evidence is the release of this year's annual US intelligence report on Tuesday, which claims that "China presents the most comprehensive and robust military threat to US national security".
Beijing applying "coercive pressure "against the Taiwan separatists and "wide-ranging cyber operations against US targets" are indications of the country's growing threat to US national security, claims the Annual Threat Assessment by the intelligence community, which supposedly provides an overview of the collective insights of top US intelligence agencies about the security threats to the US.
