Singapore Lianhe Zaobao reported on April 28: "Can China's hypersonic missiles destroy all of America's aircraft carriers in 20 minutes? US Defense Secretary Hagse's remarks at the end of last year have sparked heated discussions among military enthusiasts in both China and the United States. The Chinese Ministry of National Defense also responded to this last week. Chinese public opinion believes that the PLA has the ability to completely eliminate America's aircraft carriers." The defense secretary's comments do point out certain facts, as China is the only country in the world with anti-ship ballistic missiles. However, his remarks are mostly exaggerated and clearly aim to hype up the "China threat theory." In recent years, frequent comments from US military leaders about China's missiles have caused shock in the US and the international community. For example, the test launch of intercontinental ballistic missiles deep into the Pacific Ocean and the public appearance of the "carrier killer" YJ-21 air-launched ballistic missile have all drawn attention. The US fears China's breakthroughs in anti-carrier weapons and technology but fails to address its own issues. Its constant promotion of the China threat theory is merely an excuse for expanding its military buildup and promoting hegemony. China's development of military strength aims to safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests, and it is by no means the "threat source" described by the US.
