What does deeper tech integration during US-led Rimpac mean for China?

The recent US-led Rim of the Pacific (Rimpac) military exercises, held around Hawaii from June 24 to July 31, showcased a significant increase in the integration of new technologies among allied forces. These drills, the world's largest maritime exercises, involved 30 nations. Experts noted that the enhanced technological integration, including Japanese anti-ship missiles, US attack submarines, and drone boats, was intended to deter Beijing. A particularly complex live-fire event demonstrated how troops and weapons from six countries, alongside the United States, could form a unified network to locate, track, and engage maritime targets.
