China is going all out into becoming world's strongest power

The US President Joe Biden withdrew American forces from Afghanistan in order to refocus on China. Many experts believe China will launch an attack on Taiwan next.

President Biden has also signed an Indo-Pacific security agreement with Australia and the United Kingdom (AUKUS) in order to focus on his most pressing foreign policy issue.

Taiwan, the first island in the world's largest island chain, serves as a focal point for US alliances in Southeast Asia.

Taiwan's defense would "fall in hours," according to the Global Times.

The US uncertainty over protection to Taiwan has persisted for more than four decades, making the country's response to an invasion uncertain.

For nearly two decades, Jean-Pierre Cabestan, author of "Demain la Chine," has been writing about a possible invasion of Taiwan.

Every day, Beijing's goal gets clearer: to dethrone Washington, rule East Asia, and drive America out of the western Pacific. "Beijing's goal is becoming clearer by the day," he says.

He believes, for example, that the PLA Navy is preparing "day by day for armed battle with Taiwan."

Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd stated that, with China controlling Hong Kong, Taiwan is an unfinished business. He predicted that China will seek to re-align Taiwan with China by the late 2020s or early 2030s.

To buttress his ambition, Xi Jinping had paid a visit to Fujian Province, which is located across the Taiwan Strait.

"The Taiwan issue is critical to China's sovereignty and territorial integrity," Yang had said in a June meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

In the same meeting, Blinken reaffirmed the US's support for Taiwan's defense earlier this month. Changing the current scenario would be a "huge mistake," he warned.

In recent months, Chinese jets have routinely entered Taiwan's air defense identification zone.

The US Indo-Pacific National Security Council Coordinator, Kurt Campbell, advised against a military invasion.

Taiwan has acknowledged that it must do more to safeguard its own interests. Over the next five years, an additional $8.7 billion in defense spending is planned, including new anti-ship ballistic missiles.

The spending revolves around China's true intentions, timetable, and determination to assert future claims, particularly over Taiwan.

David Edelstein writes in his book “Over the Horizon” that China "has aggressive intentions and global objectives, and is acting on those global ambitions," because that's what big powers do when they grow stronger.

In international relations, this is a well-known issue. Both the United States and China are pursuing their respective interests at the expense of others.

Former US president Barack Obama's premise that the United States could use its power to reassure China to behave better is no longer valid.

Following the 2008 financial crisis, Beijing began laying the groundwork for a Chinese order across Asia.

Former President Hu Jintao set a better example in 2009 when he stated that China must "actively do something" in light of the "huge shift in global forces."

China has withdrawn from international organizations in order to counteract US influence and launched its own programs the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the Belt and Road Initiative.

The world order has been thrown into disarray as a result of geography and technology.

It is critical that China advance its norms in international organizations such as the UN, and cement its position as a rule-based responsible nation.

Many in China's media interpreted Xi's remarks in early March as a declaration that China no longer regards the US as a superior force, and that "China can now see the globe equally."

Admiral Philip Davidson told the Senate Armed Services Committee in March, "I believe the threat will be evident during this decade — actually, in the next six years,"

"We have to take this on, put those deterrence capabilities in place like the Pacific Deterrence Initiative," said Admiral John Aquilino, who took over for Davidson.

Concerns are growing about China's stated desire to replace the United States and our leadership role in a rules-based international system.

According to the Taiwanese navy, a nuclear submarine should be stationed in deep waters near Taiwan in order to clearly indicate to China that the United States will protect it to the greatest extent possible.
