US General Raises Alarm Over Escalating Tensions with China

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has warned that everyone should be concerned about a potential war with China, particularly regarding a possible invasion of Taiwan. He emphasized the strength of the US military but also stressed the importance of deterrence to prevent conflict. Recent polls have shown that a majority of Americans view China as the biggest foreign threat and are worried about a conflict breaking out within five years. Taiwan has long been a contentious issue between the US and China, with the US pledging military support to Taiwan in the event of an invasion.
