“The most comprehensive and serious challenge to US national security is the PRC’s (People’s Republic of China) coercive and increasingly aggressive endeavor to refashion the Indo-Pacific region and the international system to suit its interests and authoritarian preferences,” the Pentagon said on its 2022 National Defense Strategy (NDS) report. As per news report of Rt.com, the Pentagon claimed that Beijing has sought to undermine US alliances in Asia and to leverage its growing economic and military clout to “coerce its neighbors and threaten their interests.” In particular, China has allegedly used increasingly provocative rhetoric and coercion against Taiwan, threatening peace and stability in the region.
