If China attacks Taiwan, there will be dire consequences, America warns its Asian allies:

News Topical, Digital Desk : In view of China's increasing aggression, the US has warned its Asian allies to increase their defence expenditure and strengthen their armies.

China is preparing to attack Taiwan in 2027

China is preparing to attack Taiwan in 2027 but its audacity will have dire consequences for the Indo-Pacific region and the entire world. These words were said by US Defense Minister Pete Hegseth at the Sangri-La Dialogue in Singapore.

The US Defense Minister said that there is no reason to talk sweetly. The threat of China's intentions in the region is constantly increasing. The US President is keeping an eye on China's actions regarding Taiwan.

Taiwan is not alone- America said

The Defense Minister said that America will not leave its allies alone in the face of China's military and economic pressure, it will stand with its allies in the fight. This statement of Hegseth is the harshest statement against China by the Trump government formed four months ago in America. In response, China has called it a provocative statement. It said that in reality America is the biggest problem for peace and stability in the region.

China considers Taiwan as its territory

It is noteworthy that China considers Taiwan as its territory and the ruling Communist Party of China has passed a proposal to occupy it by force. Whereas, unlike the political system of China, the government in Taiwan is elected democratically and that government works there like an independent country.

Taiwan rejects China's claim and calls itself an independent nation. Ministers, military officials and diplomatic figures from about 40 countries participate in the prestigious Sangri-La Dialogue.

China's Defense Minister Dong Jun has not attended this year's event. China has sent a delegation to Singapore to participate in it. French President Emmanuel Macron inaugurated the dialogue on Friday.

Called upon European countries to increase their defense spending

He has also called upon European countries to increase their defence expenditure. Macron has expressed the possibility of an alliance between European and Asian countries. This will help in dealing with regional challenges and taking the world to new heights.

America will increase defense cooperation with India

US Defense Minister Hegseth has said that his country's defense cooperation with India is increasing, and it is likely to expand further in the future. Both countries will also increase military exercises in the future. This cooperation will also be increased under the scope of Quad (Quadrilateral Security Dialogue).

Hegseth said, America is determined to increase cooperation with its allies in the Indo-Pacific region. By doing this, America will reduce the growing threats from China's actions in the region.
