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. 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 similar proportions.
“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.

Wasn’t Milley in communication with the Chinese when a president Trump was still in office? Arguably treason…..
They can be purged only if someone will follow the order.

Thanks for being a bit more clear. But like I pointed out in my first post, people like Milley are on Red China’s side, openly so.
Take a closer look at Red China’s allies too, meaning outside the US.
Red China’s not breaking that alliance. Too profitable.
It's equally regrettable that we and NATO have depleted our weapon stock fighting a proxy war with Russia in Ukraine that we could never win all in defense of a "liberal world order" that puts globalism ahead of the best interests of this nation.
Who made an enemy of Russia?
I see an alliance between Russia and the US left still.
Maybe it’s time to go back to old school navy with any foreign ships exercising threatening behavior: put a shot across their bow, and if they don’t change course, send the boat to the bottom of the ocean.
No 💩 Sherlock.🙄
And more pronoun training.
From the guy who promised China he would warn them if the US was going to take any military action against them. 🙄
Was Milley wearing heels when he said this?
