"At this year’s Shangri-La Dialogue, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth delivered remarks that, on the surface, appeared aggressive. He claimed there was “evidence” that the China intends to use force to fundamentally alter the region’s status quo —suggesting a possible U.S. showdown with China. However, this rhetoric may be more posturing than substance. Hegseth emphasized that the U.S. does not seek conflict with China."
The U.S. never postures. They are hegemons and mean every threat. They have no intention of losing world power. The United States is existential evil.
