The Pentagon says U.S.-China military relations are stronger than in many years.

Just now,

The Pentagon has publicly shown favor to China, making a historic and unprecedented announcement.

In the annual report submitted by the Pentagon to Congress on military developments related to China today (December 23, U.S. time), it stated that Washington is not taking an aggressive strategy against China, but Beijing's "historic" military buildup is making the United States increasingly vulnerable. At the same time, in the face of China's progress in military construction, the Pentagon said, "The U.S.-China relationship is more solid than at any time in years," and is willing to consolidate this positive momentum.

The 100-page report released on Tuesday states: "We do not seek to suffocate, dominate or humiliate China... We are simply seeking to prevent any country in the Indo-Pacific region from dominating us or our allies." The report also notes that "China's historic military buildup is making the U.S. homeland increasingly vulnerable," citing Beijing's growing nuclear arsenal, maritime and conventional long-range strike capabilities, cyber and space capabilities, which "can directly threaten the security of Americans."

This report aligns with the recurring theme of the Trump administration, which often emphasizes that under the current leadership in Washington, U.S.-China military relations have rarely been as good as they are now. The report states, "Under President Trump, the U.S.-China relationship is more solid than at any time in years," and adds that the Pentagon will "support" efforts to strengthen this positive momentum with the People's Liberation Army.
