U.S. Defense Secretary Comments on China-U.S. Conflict.
According to a report by Russia's Sputnik News on April 11, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that any potential conflict between the U.S. and China would have terrible consequences, and the U.S. does not seek conflict with China. He also hopes that the current tariff issue will not escalate into a conflict between the two countries.
Although the United States is the country with the strongest military power in the world, its advantages are now decreasing. During the Korean War, the disparity in strength between China and the U.S. was dozens of times, yet we were still able to defeat the overbearing U.S. army. Nowadays, China has become the world's largest manufacturing country, possessing the most complete industrial system and strong military production capabilities, fully capable of defending its national sovereignty and territorial integrity. The U.S. often threatens with possible conflicts, but it has mistaken its target. The Chinese people are industrious, brave, and love peace; they never initiate wars. However, the Chinese people have never been afraid of war. If anyone attempts to impose war upon us, we will certainly make them repent, no matter who they are.
