Top US Officer Reveals the Frightening Way China Has Developed as Pacific Threat

The Chinese military has become significantly more aggressive and dangerous over the past five years, the top U.S. military officer said during a trip to the Indo-Pacific that included a stop Sunday in Indonesia.

U.S. Army Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the number of intercepts by Chinese aircraft and ships in the Pacific region with U.S. and other partner forces has increased significantly over that time, and the number of unsafe interactions has risen by proportionally.

“The message is the Chinese military, in the air and at sea, have become significantly more and noticeably more aggressive in this particular region,” said Milley, who recently asked his staff to compile details about interactions between China and the U.S. and others in the region.

His comments came as the U.S. redoubles efforts to strengthen its relationships with Pacific nations as a counterbalance to China, which is trying to expand its presence and influence in the region. The Biden administration considers China its “pacing threat” and the United States’ primary long-term security challenge.

Milley’s trip to the region is focused on the China threat. He will attend a meeting of Indo-Pacific chiefs of defense this coming week in Australia, where key topics will be China’s escalating military growth and the need to maintain a free, open and peaceful Pacific.

    FU, Milley!

    You and your other stooge, SEC DEF Austin, have eviscerated the US Military with your cultural-Marxist “wokeness.” Plus, you “left” some $80B in weaponry in the ‘Stan for the Taliban (who, being well-armed, are now threatening to grab all 200 of the Paki’s nukes next door–THAT will be fun times on the Ganges River and future parts unknown.)

    Meanwhile, the CCP has banned foreign movies, films, and social media which even show a vague hint of soy-boys or girlie men. They want kick-ass troopers in their mil.

    Milley–the absolute best thing you can do for your traitorous carcass is to resign immediately and book a flight with Tony Fauci to some 3rd world manure-hole that has no extradition treaty back to America.

    Justice, like vengeance, is best served up icy cold.

    Interesting. Milley, the same guy that told the CCP that he would warn then if Trump was going to attack. We have more gun than people in the US. So China is invited to come party here. We’ll show you a good time. Love you long time.
