The regime in China is seeking to force the United States and its allies out of the region and preparing for a blockade of Taiwan, according to Grant Newsham, a retired U.S. Marine colonel and the author of “When China Attacks.”

The U.S. Indo-Pacific Command recently accused the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy of engaging in dangerous naval maneuvers on June 3 during an intercept of the American destroyer USS Chung-Hoon in the Taiwan Strait.
