Breaking News! The United States no longer considers China as the main threat. The U.S. released a new "Defense Strategy" report, which states that China is no longer seen as the main threat to the United States. However, the report still emphasizes continuing to contain China through diplomatic means and strengthening defense in the Pacific region. Therefore, the U.S. is preparing to reduce the emphasis on the "threat" posed by China. However, the report also emphasizes that the U.S. should now pay more attention to protecting its homeland and the Western Hemisphere, including paying attention to the Panama Canal, the Gulf of Mexico, and Greenland in Denmark. Moreover, it directly names Russia, Iran, and North Korea, and considers these countries to still be highly focused on by the U.S., especially identifying Russia as a persistent but manageable threat near the eastern border of NATO. At the same time, the report points out that Russia is facing challenges in population and economy, but still maintains military and industrial strength, and intends to continue a protracted war with Ukraine. Therefore, the report believes that the U.S. should begin to transfer the main responsibility of supporting Ukraine to Europe, as defending Ukraine is more in line with European interests, and the U.S. should not continue to increase funding and weapon support.
