- Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Charles Brown says that Americans should be worried about China potentially invading Taiwan.
- “We want to be, and we all should be, worried whether it’s going to happen or not,” Brown said about the potential of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan on Saturday at the Reagan National Defense Forum in Simi Valley, California, Fox News reported.
- Brown also said that the possible incursion is “part of the reason why deterrence is so important, so that conflict does not occur.”
- Brown said that even if China does not use military force against Taiwan, Beijing’s actions in Hong Kong may illustrate its plans for the self-governing island, which the People’s Republic of China views as a rogue province.
