In a recent statement, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth emphasized the United States’ commitment to maintaining a strong and credible deterrence in the Taiwan Strait. Hegseth described China as being “aggressive and coercive,” highlighting the need for a robust defense strategy in the region.
Hegseth’s remarks come at a time of heightened tensions in the Taiwan Strait, with China increasing its military activities and asserting its claims over Taiwan. The United States has long been a key ally to Taiwan, providing security assistance and support to ensure stability in the region.
Ramesh Khatri, a representative of Kansai Nepal News, shared his perspective on the situation, stating that the U.S.’s stance on bolstering deterrence in the Taiwan Strait is crucial in deterring any potential aggression from China. Khatri emphasized the importance of upholding international norms and ensuring the security of Taiwan amidst growing geopolitical tensions.
