The US Secretary of Defense has made outrageous remarks about us! US Defense Secretary Hages claimed that China's military presence in the Western Hemisphere is too large. The military facilities and ground stations they operate extend their reach into space. They exploit natural resources, land, to fuel China's global military "ambitions". China's industrial fishing vessels are "stealing" food from our countries and our people.
It is obvious that the US is dissatisfied with us on two fronts. One is that the US criticizes our military strength, believing we have ambitions for hegemony. The other is that the US criticizes our overseas fishing activities. Objectively speaking, our military strength is indeed growing stronger. However, to claim that global hegemony is our goal is not true. This, however, is something the US has done in the past, is doing now, and still wants to do in the future.
Who in the world doesn't know that the US has the highest military spending, has fought the most wars since World War II, and continues to develop space weapons? As for the so-called issue of Chinese fishing vessels "stealing" food, this is truly laughable. What does China's distant-water fishing have to do with the US? Does the international waters belong to the US? Are all the fish in the international waters owned by the US?
To be honest, if the US had China's shipbuilding capability, it might be impossible for any other country to catch fish in the Pacific. The accusations of the US Secretary of Defense against us cannot change the fact that the US itself is a hegemonic country. To claim that we "steal" food is such absurd rhetoric. This shows that either the Secretary of Defense lacks education or has developed the bad habit of making baseless statements.
