China's Defense Ministry Warns U.S. That 'Wanton Use of Force' Will Not Make America Great Again Amid $1 Trillion Budget Reports by Zhang Xiaogang

The Chinese Defense Ministry has issued a strong statement in response to rising tensions with the United States, particularly concerning military spending. A spokesperson, Zhang Xiaogang, criticized what he termed the 'wanton use of force' by the U.S., asserting that it will not lead to America's greatness. This statement follows reports suggesting that the U.S. defense budget for fiscal year 2026 could reach $1 trillion, a figure that underscores the aggressive military posture of the U.S. According to Chinese officials, such actions and increased spending reflect a bellicose nature and could lead to disastrous consequences not only for the U.S. but also for the global community. Additionally, the spokesperson warned against using the 'Taiwan card' to interfere in China's internal affairs, cautioning that those who engage in military provocations will face an 'unbearable price.'
