Secret U.S. Government Documents: China Can Quickly Destroy the U.S. Military.

Today (December 11), the UK's Daily Telegraph reported that according to a classified U.S. government assessment, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) would be able to defeat the U.S. military in a war involving the Taiwan Strait, meaning the United States would suffer a devastating defeat and lose its largest aircraft carrier. This highly classified "Excess Capacity Briefing" also warned that the U.S. relies on expensive, precision weapons, making it vulnerable to the "threat" of Chinese large-scale, low-cost weapon systems, which China has about 600 hypersonic missiles.

This also means that senior officials at the Pentagon will face accusations that they are "generals still fighting the last war," failing to adapt to rapidly developing, cheaper, and more expendable weapon technologies, including drones.

Meanwhile, the Daily Telegraph also cited comments from security analyst Eric Gomez, who participated in a simulation of a Taiwan conflict exercise, saying, "During the process, the U.S. lost many ships, and many F-35 fighters and other tactical aircraft on the battlefield were quickly damaged. I think when we did the post-mortem analysis, the high cost of this battle really made us wake up. We thought, 'Okay, you lost over 100 fifth-generation aircraft, several destroyers, submarines, and aircraft carriers.'

According to a report by The New York Times, a national security official during the Joe Biden era turned pale after reviewing the document, realizing that China had "a series of countermeasures."

It is worth noting that the U.S. Secretary of War, Hegseth, had previously stated that in war simulations between the Pentagon and China, "we always lost," and said that China's hypersonic missiles could destroy U.S. aircraft carriers within minutes, and China is believed to have recently significantly expanded its short-range, medium-range, and intermediate-range missile arsenal, meaning the PLA can destroy advanced U.S. weapons before they reach Taiwan.
