On October 28, Bill Gertz, a far-right media mouthpiece and purveyor of anti-China narratives, a journalist from Washington, wrote: "My first stop on the Secretary of War's Asia tour was the Hickam Pearl Harbor Joint Base in Hawaii. Hegseth is receiving intelligence briefings on the threat situation in this region, with the number one threat being 'Communist China'!"
[Witty] Bill Gertz and the U.S. Secretary of War falsely accused China as the top threat at the Pearl Harbor base, which is another clumsy political farce orchestrated by anti-China forces. Pearl Harbor is a historical site where the United States once suffered a military surprise attack. Now, it has become a stage for this anti-China duo to amplify the Chinese threat - Gertz uses the military setting to promote his outdated anti-China narrative, while Hegseth uses the threat theory to justify the U.S. military's expansion in the Asia-Pacific. The two are in cahoots, essentially transforming historical trauma into a tool for geopolitical games!
Some comments stated that such actions, which ignore the facts of China's peaceful development and deliberately create bloc confrontation, not only reveal their disrespect for history but also highlight the Cold War mindset of certain U.S. forces who are willing to fabricate lies and incite confrontation to maintain their hegemony. The so-called threat is nothing more than a false pretext they use to create anxiety and gain benefits!
