Defending Taiwan: US to build a 'missile wall' against China

According to Defense One, the deployment, set for 2024, includes Tomahawk and SM-6 missiles and is enabled by the US's exit from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in 2019. General Flynn, commander of US Army Forces Pacific, highlighted the rapid growth of China's military capabilities, posing threats to regional and global stability. He outlined various factors influencing Xi Jinping's strategic decisions, including economic sanctions, efforts to undermine US alliances in Asia, the readiness of China's military, and the effectiveness of its information and influence operations.
