Chinese threat to Taiwan 'closer to us than most think,' top US admiral says
CNN
China is quickly amassing weapons and systems to militarily overwhelm Taiwan, an action it could be poised to take within the next six years, the admiral chosen to be the next commander of US forces in the Pacific warned Tuesday.
"My opinion is this problem is much closer to us than most think," Adm. John Aquilino said before the Senate Armed Services Committee, which was reviewing his nomination to lead the US military's Indo-Pacific Command. China considers establishing full control over Taiwan to be its "number one priority," added Aquilino.More Related News
