Rear Admiral Michael Studeman, chief of intelligence for U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, said Tuesday, March 2, that China’s growing confidence in demonstrating military power far from Home and that this aggressive Communist military is “alarming” and will dominate the world, making the United States and The world cannot hide from it.
Stallman made the warning during an online conference. He analyzed the latest situation in China, arguing that the Chinese Communist Party has established a clear pattern of seeking to maintain dominance by crushing dissent, suppressing it, stifling freedom and stifling autonomy through structural, legal security measures. Its ambition is evident in its treatment of things like Hong Kong, Taiwan and the South China Sea.
Stallman notes that China (the Communist Party) has recently been sending Drones and other aircraft into Taiwan’s air defense identification zone on a daily basis, steadily increasing pressure on Taiwan and “establishing a new normal around Taiwan through their military presence.” At the same Time, the Chinese (communist) country has also stepped up its military activities in the South China Sea. He said the top-back efforts taken by the U.S. against China (Communist Party), such as routine U.S. military sailing in the South China Sea, have also not had an impact on the Communist Party’s decision-making.
He said Chinese military activity around The Japanese-controlled Senkaku Islands (known in China as the Diaoyu Islands and their affiliated islands) is also increasing. It uses a strategy of “creeping presence” aimed at slowly establishing control over the area.
Stallman emphasized that the Communist Party has a globalized expeditionary force that is present where they perceive a threat to Chinese (Communist) interests. He noted that now, “anywhere on the globe, the Chinese (Communist) states feel their interests are threatened, and so they send their armies with increasing frequency.”
Stallman’s warning came just a day after Admiral Philip Davidson, commander of Indo-Pacific Command, also warned at a network conference that without effective and convincing conventional deterrence (by the U.S.), the Chinese (Communist) states will become even bolder” and that “we must convince Beijing (the Chinese Communist Party) believe that the cost of using force to achieve its objectives is simply too high.”
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has also repeatedly said that the pace of China’s military development has affected the pace of military development that the United States must take to maintain its superiority and is a “pacing threat” to the Pentagon. In addition, the U.S. is concerned that the Chinese (Communist) countries are trying to operate and exert influence in the Middle East, Central America and South America.
President Joe Biden, while attending the online Munich Conference on Feb. 19, also said, “We must garner international support and work together to prepare for a long-term, intense strategic competition with the Chinese (Communist) countries.” “The United States must push back against the Chinese (Communist) government’s economic sabotage and coercion.”
The Defense Department held the first meeting on Monday, March 1, of the newly formed China Working Group, which is charged with considering Washington’s current strategy toward China and making recommendations over the next four months.
