U.S. Secretary of Defense Hegseth said that China is the biggest security threat to the United States.
The U.S. Department of Defense is working with allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific region to strengthen cooperation and increase regional security forces.
Hegseth stated that the U.S. hopes to maintain peace through strong military power.
He recently went to Singapore to attend a security conference and discussed with representatives from many countries how to jointly face the challenges posed by China.
The U.S. has also increased military cooperation with countries like Australia, Japan, and the Philippines, such as sending more aircraft, warships, and soldiers.
The U.S. also encourages these countries to strengthen their own defense.
Hegseth said that China is rapidly developing its military, increasing submarines, aircraft, and missiles, which puts greater pressure on regional security.
The U.S. hopes to work together with friends to protect everyone's security and interests.
