[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] U.S. Air Force Mobility Command (AMC) Commander General Mike Minihan pointed out that since both Taiwan and the United States will hold presidential elections in 2024, he predicted that Chinese President Xi Jinping would take the opportunity to attack , causing war between the United States and China to break out in 2025.

According to NBC, Minihan said he hopes he is wrong, but his intuition tells him that war will break out in 2025, and he has set a readiness goal for this, which includes the establishment of a strengthened, ready and flexible joint maneuver Team, ready to fight and win in the first island chain.

In the memorandum sent by Minihan to all wing commanders of the Air Force Mobility Command, they are required to report to Minihan the status of combat readiness before February 28 this year, and instruct AMC officers and soldiers to strengthen the shooting of 7-meter targets and aim at the head , update personal data, emergency contacts, and more.

Minihan also asked AMC personnel to accept some risks in training and not to be satisfied with the existing training situation. At the same time, he revealed that the KC-135 air tanker unit is preparing to deliver 100 drones of the off-the-shelf size and type, which shows the potential of the United States. One of the preparations for a conflict with China is drone swarms.

An AMC spokesperson confirmed that the memorandum is mainly to prepare the troops for future conflicts. US defense officials emphasized that these are Minihan's personal statements and do not represent the US military's views on China.

In March 2021, Philip Davidson, then commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, pointed out at a Senate hearing that China's threat to Taiwan will be obvious within 10 years, or within the next 6 years.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was asked earlier this month whether China was about to invade Taiwan. He revealed that the People's Liberation Army has indeed taken very provocative actions recently, but he doubted whether this meant an imminent invasion.
