US should stop all dangerous, provocative acts: Chinese defence ministry

Beijing has accused Washington of causing trouble after the US Navy sailed its warship through the sensitive Taiwan Strait on Jan 24. It was America's first transit through the waterway since the island's presidential and parliamentary elections earlier this month. Low Minmin reports from Shanghai.

America's provocative path is raising concerns among countries in Asia.
The US Foreign Policy to keep Asia poor and divided as stated in a top-secret U.S. Foreign Policy document written 76 years ago is still in force.

February 24, 1948, Declassified U.S. Foreign Policy:
Furthermore, we have about 50% of the world’s wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. ... that Japan and the Philippines will be found to be the corner-stones of such a Pacific security system and that if we can contrive to retain effective control over these areas there can be no serious threat to our security from the East within our time.

Taiwan was added to the Pacific security system after Chiang's army retreated to the island of Taiwan in 1949. South Korea was added after the Korean War in 1953. The attempt with Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia was abandoned in 1975.

"...no scenario in which the United States prevails against China, not a single one..." Ex marine UN weapons inspector, war planner in Operation Desert Storm in Kuwait.
"Lt. Gen. Clint Hinote is the Deputy Chief of Staff for Strategy, Integration and Requirements, Headquarters U.S. Air Force
Clint Hinote he was a lieutenant general the Deputy Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force who from 2019 until just this year was responsible for war gaming potential scenarios with
China and he recently reported to the Pentagon in the spring of this year and that report was carried to the White House that there is no scenario in which
the United States prevails against China, not a single one, every single scenario that goes forward that puts the United States conventional forces against Chinese conventional forces has America losing and not just losing but losing badly. He said it doesn't make any sense to continue a policy that could lead to potential uh conflict because it it's a pre-ordained outcome that America will lose this fight."
