Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Workers Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. stated throughout an interview that Individuals needs to be involved about the potential of China invading Taiwan.
Brown made the feedback throughout an interview Saturday in Simi Valley, California, on the Reagan Nationwide Protection Discussion board with “FOX News Sunday” anchor Shannon Bream.
“Seventy-three percent of people responded to the survey this year that they were somewhat worried about possibility of China actually invading Taiwan. You’ve said in the past you don’t think it will be an actual, you know, physical operation to take Taiwan. It’s logistically very difficult to do that. But there are other ways that China will pressure Taiwan. So how do you see that playing?” Bream stated.
“Well, just think about what happened in Hong Kong. And the first thing I would say is we want to be, and we all should be, worried whether it’s going to happen or not. And part of the reason why deterrence is so important, so that conflict does not occur,” Brown responded.

Brown stated the U.S. has to concentrate to the stress that China is placing on Taiwan, even when it is not in a navy kind.
“But if you look at what happened in Hong Kong and even some of the things that the PRC is doing today is, you know, putting pressure on Taiwan, putting pressure on countries in the Indo-Pacific, whether it be economically or somewhat militarily, that we’ve seen continued pressure to wear in this case Taiwan down or others down to their own gain,” Brown stated.
China is testing simply how a lot restraint Taiwan has, as its navy performs nearly every day flights and naval vessel routes round Taiwan, generally getting uncomfortably near the island.

Through the U.S.-China summit in San Francisco in November, Chinese language International Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying launched a blunt warning about America’s relations with Taiwan, calling it “the most important and most sensitive issue in China-U.S. relations.”
“The U.S. side should take real actions to honor its commitment of not supporting ‘Taiwan independence’, stop arming Taiwan, and support China’s peaceful reunification. China will realize reunification, and this is unstoppable,” Chunying wrote in a submit on X.
