U.S. New National Defense Strategy: The "Defense Line" Against China Moves from the Western Pacific to Latin America
Regarding the rumor that U.S. Secretary of Defense Austin may announce the new version of the U.S. national defense strategy at a meeting with military leaders, on the 26th, the U.S. media "Defense News" revealed some hints.
In short, this version of the Pentagon's national defense strategy will echo the "America First" agenda of Trump, which prioritizes homeland defense and focuses on hemisphere affairs.
However, the issue of China was not completely removed, but it is quite humorous that the U.S. Pentagon's new national defense strategy's approach toward China has shifted from "competing with China" to "defending against China." The known focus is that the United States will "combat" Chinese activities in its "backyard," Latin America.
Yes, according to Trump and his team, China has moved from the Western Pacific to Latin America, and the United States must "encircle China" in Latin America — this can only be said to show that the United States is becoming more and more regressive, even going as far as to strictly guard against China in its "backyard."
This is just a glimpse of the U.S. new national defense strategy revealed by "Defense News." The specific content will have to wait for the Pentagon's official announcement.
Additionally, regarding Austin's sudden call for hundreds of U.S. military leaders to return to the country for a meeting, some opinions in the U.S. believe that this may be the beginning of another "purge."
