.美國國防部長他是鷹派好戰份子,2025年香格里拉對話在新加坡登場,發表演說時，強調印太與台海安全。他表示美方不尋求與中國衝突,但若中共企圖以武力併吞台灣,將對印太地區乃至全球帶來毀滅性後果,有實力才能實現和平。

國際戰略學者專家分析認為,這樣一來美國扔然視中國為破壞區域和平的惡勢力,尤其是以武力攻擊台灣.收回台灣省而達成中國統一的終極目標,同時美國似乎永遠的表現出模稜兩可的意識型態,對日益強勢的中國軍事力量,影響到亞太地區的穩定,而無法謀取有對抗中國的策略,始終利用某些小國作為擋箭牌,犧牲品與中國發生衝突,美國自己則永遠躲在背後,如果中國真正的攻擊台灣,製海峽兩岸的危機,這樣一來美國找到出兵保護台的藉口,而與中國爆發戰爭的可能性,微乎其微,換句話說美國永遠是玩弄兩手策略的高手,犧牲他人謀求自的利益,美國總統川普生意人的思維令人懷疑,是否暗中與中國商討,如何以台灣利益彼此交換?.

Remarks by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth at the 2025 Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore.:

...Were also increasing security in the Western Hemisphere and taking back the Panama Canal from malign Chinese influence.  It is key terrain, after all. China did not build that canal. We did.  And we will not allow China to weaponize it or control it.  Deterrence starts in our own backyard.

But beyond our borders, and beyond our neighborhood, we are reorienting toward deterring aggression by Communist China. Well talk a little bit more about that in a minute. 

 China seeks to become a hegemonic power in Asia. No doubt.  It hopes to dominate and control too many parts of this vibrant and vital region.So, before we get to those hard truths, and to make sure for our friends in the press our words are not misconstrued as they so often are, let me begin by saying, we do not seek conflict with Communist China.

Every day you see it. Chinas military harasses Taiwan. These activities have been paired with Chinas rapid military modernization and buildup – including huge investments in nuclear weapons, hypersonics, and amphibious assault capabilities.

It has to be clear to all that Beijing is credibly preparing to potentially use military force to alter the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific. We know.  Its public that Xi has ordered his military to be capable of invading Taiwan by 2027. The PLA is building the military needed to do it.  Training for it every day. And rehearsing for the real deal.  Admiral Paparo has spoken very clearly about this on multiple occasions.  

Again, to be clear: any attempt by Communist China to conquer Taiwan by force would result in devastating consequences for the Indo-Pacific and the world. Theres no reason to sugarcoat it. The threat China poses is real.

Facing these threats, we know that many countries are tempted by the idea of seeking both economic cooperation with China and defense cooperation with the United States.But we must ensure that China cannot dominate us — or our allies and partners. Maintaining the status quo requires strength.   We do not seek to dominate or strangle China. 

.President Trump has also said that Communist China will not invade Taiwan on his watch. So, our goal is to prevent war, to make the costs too high, and peace the only option. And we will do this with a strong shield of deterrence, forged together with you – Americas great allies and defense partners. Together, we will show what it means to execute peace through strength. In many ways seen and unseen.  Overt and covert.

.A PLA major general leading the Chinese delegation at this year’s Shangri-La Dialogue has accused the United States of “destabilising the Asia-Pacific” – after US defence chief Pete Hegseth called for collective deterrence against what he characterised as Chinese aggression in the region.
