סנטור אמריקני מזהיר מכוחו של חיל הים הסיני

Top GOP Senator Tom Cotton is sounding the alarm, warning fellow Americans to stay vigilant against the unprecedented threats from Communist China. In his new book, Seven Things You Can't Say About China, the senator breaks down Beijing's rapidly expanding military power and what it means for the U.S. and the free world. Here's what he had to say on Fox News Radio Wednesday. China has undertaken the biggest military buildup in history. It's increased their own spending by more than a thousand percent. Their military is more than double our size. Their army is more than double our size. One of their shipyards, just one, can produce more ships for their navy than all of our shipyards combined. That's why it's so important that we build up our military specifically with the capabilities needed to deter China from going for the jugular in the first place, because if you had a war of any kind, even if it was inconclusive or a stalemate and China didn't achieve its goals, you'd still have immediate Great Depression around the globe. We have to be strong. We have to have Taiwan be strong to prevent that war from ever happening. Senator Cotton said China has spent decades preparing to invade Taiwan, a self-governed democratic island. He warned that failing to stop such aggression could lead to thousands of American troop casualties and major global economic fallout.
