Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sounded the alarm on Chinese military plans to attack Taiwan and said any assault on the island democracy would have devastating consequences.
“Let me be clear: Any attempt by Communist China to conquer Taiwan would result in devastating consequences for the Indo-Pacific and the world,” Mr. Hegseth told an annual conference of defense leaders Saturday in Singapore.
“We are not going to sugarcoat it. The threat China poses is real, and it could be imminent,” he said.
President Xi Jinping has ordered the People’s Liberation Army to be ready by 2027 to assault this island, which China claims as its territory, Mr. Hegseth said.
President Trump had declared that China will not conduct a military invasion of Taiwan while he is president, Mr. Hegseth said during a major speech to the Shangri-La Dialogue, an annual conference of defense and military leaders.
The comments were the clearest indication to date that the Trump administration would come to Taiwan’s defense if the island were invaded by China.
The defense secretary’s remarks come as China has stepped up aggressive military activities in the South China Sea near the Philippines, around Taiwan, and further north near Japan and South Korea, all key U.S. allies.
Mr. Hegseth warned that a “massive military build-up and growing willingness to use military force” are signs Beijing is working on becoming a major hegemonic power in Asia and wants to dominate the entire region.
