The Pentagon declared China the number one problem for the United States
China is the main problem for the United States and threatens its neighbors and allies of the United States.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby stated this at a briefing in Washington, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We consider China the number one problem for the department. And that they regularly attempt to use coercion and intimidation to intimidate their neighbors into actions or inactions that satisfy China. What China perceives as its interests may be hostile not only to other countries in the region, but also to countries like the United States,” the Pentagon spokesman said.
According to him, China has already proven that it is ready to intimidate its neighbors.
“We want this action to stop, obviously. But at the same time, we also want to make sure that we build the right capabilities in the region and the operational concepts to support those capabilities so that we can protect our national security interests in the region. And I might add, the national security interests of so many allies and partners.
We have five of our seven treaty alliances in the Pacific, and they have very specific, very real security obligations on us that we need to make sure we can meet,” Kirby said.
