Three countries who threaten the interests of the United States and the security of countries in the world are China, North Korea and Russia.
China is flexing its military muscle in the Western Pacific. It has occupied and fortified isles in the South China Sea, claimed sovereignty over the South China Sea, and it continuously threatens Taiwan. It is significantly expanding its Navy to project its military power and control maritime trade routes in the Pacific. More concerning is the increased Chinese development of nuclear delivery systems, which are projected to number 700 to 1000 deliverable warheads by 2030. The U.S. should encourage Japan, The Philippines, Australia and India to expand their military forces to deter China's ambitions.
