Retired Gen. Charles Flynn told a House committee hearing on the threats from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that the positions being taken by U.S. partners and allies are a much-needed advantage for the United States, as together, they look to deter a conflict between the Chinese communist regime and Taiwan.

Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.), chair of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), noted that the 2027 date set by the regime for a takeover of Taiwan coincides with the end of the current Congress.
