David Berger, a general in the US Marine Corps, said that in the event of a hypothetical conflict with China, the United States has a strategy to deal with the enemy. His words on July 9 leads the website of the analytical center Hudson Institute.
Berger said that in the event of a conflict with China, the US military would need to attack the command centers of the People’s Liberation Army of China (PLA). The general emphasized that logistics issues during hostilities are no less important than obtaining intelligence data.
Berger also noted that for the past 20 years, the PRC has been developing methods that will destabilize and weaken the functionality of the US military.
On the eve of July 8, the PLA forces conducted exercises off the coast of Taiwan, said Shi Yi, a spokesman for the Eastern Zone Combat Command.
On June 25, Chinese Ambassador to France Lu Shae announced his readiness to regain control over Taiwan, including by military means. He stressed that China does not consider the island as an independent territory.
On June 21, it was reported that about 29 PLA military aircraft entered Taiwan’s Air Defense (Air Defense) Identification Zone. The Taiwan Defense Ministry specified that fighters, strategic bombers, anti-submarine aircraft and other Chinese aircraft took part in the operation.
On May 23, US President Joe Biden announced his country’s readiness to participate militaryly in the defense of Taiwan “in the event of an invasion.” The US continues to support the security of the Taiwan Strait and intends to ensure that “its status quo is not changed unilaterally,” he said. As explained later in the White House, Biden’s words concerned the supply of weapons.
Official relations between the Chinese government and its island province broke down in 1949, when the Kuomintang forces led by Chiang Kai-shek, who lost in a civil war with the Communist Party of China, moved to Taiwan. Contact between the island and mainland China resumed in the late 1980s. The United States openly supports the Taiwan authorities, and American warships regularly enter the Taiwan Strait.
