About one sentence- what's the right meaning of it?

0On China's military, Mr.Chen's00 mind00 is no doubt 00concentrated00 by the fact China has 700 missiles pointed across the Taiwanese Strait.02br
02br
00Does that meaning Mr. Chen is concerning the fact?02br
02br
00Or it means something else, I checked the Collin dictionary, there's one phrase, "if you say tht an unpleasant fact or situation 00concentrates someone's mind00, you mean that it makes them think clearly, because they are aware of the serious consequences if then do not."02br
02br
00I'm kind of confused, thanks for anyone's help.0-

0 I'm not familiar with using "concentrated by" that way - I would have said "concentrated on" - meaning that's what he was thinking mostly about. But if you have a Collins definitition that says that all these missiles would help him think more clearly, then I guess that's what it means. 0-
