Admiral Samuel PaperoHead of US Indo-Pacific CommandOn Thursday raised the alarm about China’s acute military appearance around Taiwan, suggesting that recent exercises are far more serious than standard exercises.
Addressing the Senate’s Armed Service Committee, Papiro said, “Military pressure against Taiwan increased by 300%, Taiwan does not have China’s rapid aggressive action just practice, they are rehearsals.” He described China’s strategic change as part of a comprehensive modernization effort, which threatens not only Taiwan but also American interests and colleagues in the entire region.
“China’s unprecedented aggression and Military modernization There is a serious threat to the motherland, our colleagues and our colleagues, “he emphasized, focused on increasing regional instability provoked by Beijing’s actions.
While Taiwan considers himself an independent, sovereign nation, it is still officially recognized as a part of China under the “a China” policy – a stance made by the United Nations, the US and China. However, Beijing continued to increase stress as an attempt to “reunion” Taiwan with the mainland, a target that both Washington and Taipei warned that it would disturb the balance in Indo-Pacific.
Admiral said that instead of being hinged to present Taipei, China’s aggressive currency is adversely affecting. “When [People’s Liberation Army] The PLA attempts to intimidate the people of Taiwan and display tremendous abilities, these actions are backfiring, to increase global attention and speed up the preparation of Taiwan’s preparation for Taiwan, “he said.
Beyond Taiwan Strait, Paparo also warned MPs about the widespread implications of China’s rapid military production. He said, “To exclude and intensify the United States in China’s air missile, maritime and space capacity,” he said.
He offered a Stark comparison, given that the Chinese Army is building fighter jets at a rate of 1.2 times compared to the United States and is also beating the US in the production of naval ships, advanced missiles and space technologies. “I am convinced in my preventive posture, but must change the trajectory,” Papero concluded, indicated an important call for us Defense innovation And readiness.
