In recent remarks, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth emphasized the importance of maintaining a strong and credible deterrence strategy in the Taiwan Strait. He described China’s behavior as “aggressive and coercive,” underscoring the need for the United States to ensure a robust defense posture in the region.

Hegseth’s comments come at a time of heightened tensions between the U.S. and China, particularly concerning Taiwan. The U.S. has long been a key supporter of Taiwan’s independence and has reiterated its commitment to defending the island nation against any threats or aggression.

Ramesh Khatri, a representative of Kansai Nepal News, shared his perspective on the situation, stating that the U.S.’s reaffirmation of its deterrence strategy in the Taiwan Strait is crucial for maintaining stability in the region. He emphasized the significance of upholding international norms and ensuring a peaceful resolution to any disputes that may arise between the U.S., China, and Taiwan.
