Zhang Jiadun emphasized that Xi Jinping needs a foreign enemy to distract the attention of the Chinese people and shift to Taiwan, Japan or the Philippines instead of focusing on him. "The United States must rebuild its defense and deterrence. We have no time to waste."

Carl Rehberg, a visiting fellow at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessment (CSBA), a U.S. think tank, said the latest report is evidence that the U.S. military needs to change its Indo-Pacific deployment. way".

Rehberger pointed out that the U.S. military has almost continued the "post-Cold War situation" in the Indo-Pacific region. The strategic transformation of the U.S. to return to the Indo-Pacific region can be said to be "thunderous and rainy." The outposts on Guam are relatively vulnerable and are threatened by a huge attack by the People's Liberation Army.

Rehberg pointed out that the U.S. Department of Defense lacks a consensus on the direction of the first island chain, and also lacks a clear direction and plan. He called this "a quasi-peacetime mentality."

Former U.S. Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff Howie Chandler (Howie Chandler) believes that China is competing with the United States for leadership in the Pacific Ocean, and the risk of miscalculation and conflict is very high.
