「Odds 'very high' of U.S. military conflict with China, top Republican says」:  あ〜　あ〜

WASHINGTON:　A top Republican in the U.S. Congress on Sunday said the odds of conflict with China over Taiwan "are very high," after a U.S. general caused consternation with a memo that warned that the United States would fight China in the next two years.

こないだは、軍人の方が似たようなことを言っていましたが、今回はアメリカの議員さんですか～?

"I hope he is wrong. ... I think he is right though," Mike McCaul, the new chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the U.S. House of Representatives, told Fox News Sunday.

こういう情報が流れ出したのは、ウクライナで露が消滅しかかっているから?　少なくとも、核兵器以外の武器は消耗しつくしそうです。

Both the United States and Taiwan will hold presidential elections in 2024, potentially creating an opportunity for China to take military action, Minihan wrote.

なるほど～。

McCaul said that if China failed to take control of Taiwan bloodlessly then "they are going to look at a military invasion in my judgment. We have to be prepared for this."

以前は、口先だけだと思ったのですが、もしかすると本気そう。

Representative Adam Smith, the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, said he disagreed with Minihan's assessment.

ま〜　　反対勢力もあるのも当然です。

Smith told Fox News Sunday that war with China is "not only not inevitable, it is highly unlikely. We have a very dangerous situation in China.

で

Smith said the United States needs to be in a position to deter China from military action against Taiwan, "but I'm fully confident we can avoid that conflict if we take the right approach."

とのお話、中国をわかっていませんね。オバマ大統領時代のスプラトリー諸島で何が起こったのを忘れたのでしょうか?

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin earlier this month said he seriously doubted that ramped-up Chinese military activities near the Taiwan Strait were a sign of an imminent invasion of the island by Beijing.

直ぐじゃなくとも、どこかで来るでしょう。
