For the US, “the key is now to make sure that Taiwan can defend itself.”“President Xi and the Chinese military are learning … that war on paper is a whole lot different than real war,” Milley said.
“I think it will be some time before the Chinese have the military capability and are ready to do it,” he added.“A incident could happen, some sort of political thing could happen in a moment in time and all of the decisions would change very, very rapidly,” Milley said. “But I think that the Chinese would be high-risk to take on an operation like that, and I think it would be unwise, a political mistake, a geopolitical mistake [and] a strategic mistake.
Beijing has said they want to be “equal to or superior militarily” to the US by 2027, “but they’re not going to get there” the Joint Chiefs chairman added.“As long as we remain number one, then we will deter the war that people worry about – the great power war between China and the United States.”rated the US military as “weak” in an annual report
