Pentagon: China’s “bullying” behavior threatens regional stability!
reported by
Austin, in a meeting with General Nakatani, his Japanese counterpart in Tokyo, said: Right now, we are fully aware of the challenges that threaten peace and stability in this region and around the world.
He claimed: These challenges include the bullying behavior of the People’s Republic of China in the eastern and southern seas of this country and other parts of the region. Also, Russia’s reckless choice to start a war in Ukraine, North Korea’s support for Moscow’s war, and other destabilizing and provocative activities in the region are among these challenges.
The head of the Pentagon, who is on his 13th and probably his last trip to Asia in the guise of the US Secretary of Defense, added that “the US commitment to Japan and South Korea regarding the defense of this country Under the umbrella of broad deterrence, it is inviolable.”
He went on to say that “we with Japan and South Korea will deal with these challenges with self-confidence and determination, and we will continue our historic trilateral cooperation.”

President-elect Donald Trump, who will be sworn in next month, hopes to replace Austin with former Army officer and Fox News anchor Pete Hegsett.
