PENTAGON CHIEF WARNS CHINA ‘PREPARING’ TO USE MILITARY FORCE IN ASIA
-
US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth warned yesterday that China was “credibly preparing” to use military force to upend the balance of power in Asia, vowing the United States was “here to stay” in the Indo-Pacific region.
The Pentagon chief made the remarks at an annual security forum in Singapore as the administration of US President Donald Trump spars with Beijing on trade, technology, and influence over strategic corners of the globe.
Since taking office in January, Mr Trump has launched a trade war with China, sought to curb its access to key Al technologies and deepened security ties with allies such as the Philippines, which is engaged in escalating territorial disputes with Beijing.
“The threat China poses is real and it could be imminent,” Mr Hegseth said at the Shangri-La Dialogue attended by defence officials from around the world.
Beijing is “credibly preparing to potentially use military force to alter the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific”, he added.
