Ernst and Gallagher are right: U.S. needs 'rings of fire' in Asia against China WashTimesOpEd
“A great wall of steel, forged by the flesh and blood of over 1.4 billion Chinese people.” That is what Chinese leader Xi Jinping believes is backing the Chinese Communist Party as it seeks to expand its influence and erode America’s presence in Asia.
The Department of Defense itself recognizes this growing challenge: Our combatant commanders have admitted that our military cannot match China’s theater-range missiles. With shorter-range capabilities unfunded and intermediate-range systems still under development, U.S. territories such as Guam, our naval forces, and Taiwan are vulnerable to devastating Chinese attacks.As Ms. Ernst and Mr. Gallagher propose, supporting a “rings of fire” approach to close the missile gap with Beijing and would “enhance deterrence and pose dangerous dilemmas” for Chinese military planners and could “shift the regional balance of power in our favor.
We cannot allow China to dominate the region, intimidate our allies, or forcibly retake Taiwan. A Chinese-dominated Asia would fundamentally change Americans’ everyday lives.
