China is acting increasingly aggressively in the Indo-Pacific region, using a “frog in boiling water” strategy by increasing its military presence there, the head of the US Indo-Pacific Command (USPACOM) said on April 28. , Admiral John Aquilino, reports the Financial Times.
“They become more aggressive and bolder, it becomes more and more dangerous.”“said the admiral.
According to him, China acts according to the strategy of heating a frog in boiling water, when the processes are slow and that is why other countries underestimate their danger and do not react until it is too late. At the same time, Beijing violates international legal norms and this must be constantly discussed, Aquilino believes.
According to him, in the three years he has led the US Indo-Pacific Command, China has behaved in an increasingly destabilizing manner. The admiral commented on the most pressing moment in recent times: the visit to Taiwan in the summer of 2022 by the then Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi.
After this visit, China, which mistakenly interpreted it as a US rejection of the “one China” principle, began large-scale military exercises near the island, the admiral noted. There were fears that Beijing would do something harmful.
