US EditionHegseth Warns of Imminent Chinese Threat to Taiwan; Beijing Denounces US Rhetoric
- On Saturday 2025, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a warning during the international security forum in Singapore about a genuine and possibly imminent military threat from China toward Taiwan.
- Hegseth based his warning on claims that China plans to be ready for a Taiwan invasion by 2027 and accused Beijing of seeking regional hegemony, while China denied such plans and condemned his remarks.
- China’s Foreign Ministry criticized Hegseth for promoting a Cold War mentality, accused the U.S. Of stoking tensions in the Asia-Pacific, and stressed the Taiwan issue is an internal matter that no country should interfere with.
- Hegseth stated, "If deterrence fails, we are prepared to fight and win decisively," while China labeled his speech as "deplorable" and filled with provocations intended to sow discord.
- The exchange highlights escalating tensions over Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific region, with the U.S. Increasing military preparations and funding amid China's firm stance on reunification and opposition to foreign intervention.
