India China conflict: US Military to stand strong

White House told Fox News

Tuesday, 7th July 2020

Mark Meadows, White House Chief of Staff reported to Fox News, “The message is clear. We're not going to stand by and let China or anyone else take the reins in terms of being the most powerful, dominant force, whether it's in that region or over here”.

A top White House official stated on Monday that the military of US “will continue to stand strong” in India-China clash or anywhere. Two aircraft carriers were deployed by the Navy to the South China Sea to make its presence evident in the region.

“And the message is clear. Our military might stands strong and will continue to stand strong, whether it's in relationship to a conflict between India and China or anywhere else”, Mr Meadows responded to a question.

The two troops are locked in a standoff of eight weeks in many areas in eastern Ladakh including Galwan Valley, Pangong Tso and Gogra Hot Spring.

After the Galwan Valley clashes the situation worsened. On Monday the Chinese troop started to withdraw from the Galwan Valley and Gogra Hot Spring after Ajit Doval, National Security Advisor and Wang Yi, Chinese Foreign Minister had a meeting on Sunday.

Two aircraft carriers have been sent to the South China Sea by the US.

“Our mission is to make sure that the world knows that we still have the preeminent fighting force on the face of the globe”, Mr Meadows asserted.

Republican Senator Tom Cotton said, “That's one of the reasons why we have those aircraft carrier groups in the South China Sea. I mean, look what China did in the southwest. It's essentially invaded India over the last few weeks and killed Indian soldiers”.

“No country on China's periphery, right now, is safe from Chinese aggression. All those countries want a close relationship with the United States. We ought to have one”.
