Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said Saturday that China's increased military activity near Taiwan seemingly indicates a "rehearsal" of the country's future intentions.
Austin made his comment during a keynote discussion with Fox News anchor Bret Baier at the Reagan National Defense Forum in Simi Valley, California.
Pointing out how China has been launching multiple air operations near Taiwan in recent months, Baier asked Austin, "Do you think that these are training flights for future operations?"
Austin noted that he didn't want to speculate, but said, "Certainly, it looks like them exploring what their true capabilities [are], and sure, it looks like rehearsal."

So is our Woke Army/Navy up to the task of deterring the Dragon? I thought white supremacists militias were the biggest threat?

Send the Army to the border and seal it shut. Then we can worry about Asia, maybe.

China has no intention of invading Taiwan . US always needs a bogeyman or three to justify military spending increases to fill the pockets of the military industrial complex . Does China have bases all over the world ? Many of which are very near China ? Who has China invaded or attacked recently ?

War with China wouldn't be all bad. IT WOULD END TRADE WITH THEM! THEY IN TURN WOULD NATIONALIZE ALL INDUSTRY AND KICK OUT WESTERN INTERESTS. win-win-win-win for the American worker.
It would be terrible to see Americans "working" in China being rounded up. Terrible thing to contemplate. Just awful....

The war is on the middle class and the American worker. If by “we” that includes the Democrats and the Deep State? My “we” doesn’t include them.
