Christine Wormuth, the secretary of the US Army, has issued a warning that, in the event of a “major war,” China may turn to attacking US territory. She cautions that these attacks would be made in order to lower the spirit of our people and make it more difficult for the US to remain resolute in the face of international foes.
Monday, Wormuth said that “If we got into a major war with China, the United States homeland would be at risk as well with both kinetic attacks and non-kinetic attacks — whether it’s cyberattacks on the power grid or on pipelines. They are going to go after the will of the United States public. They’re going to try to erode support for a conflict.”

Armed warfare today may take many different forms, including kinetic and non-kinetic strikes. In a military conflict, terrorist assault, or geopolitical power play, selecting amongst these tactics is crucial for formulating successful plans for victory depending on the particular goals sought by an attacker or defense.
“Our goal is to avoid a land war in Asia. But we have to prepare, we have to be ready to fight and win this war.” She continued, “the best way to avoid such a war is to show China and the countries of the region that we can really win this war.”
Kinetic assaults continue to pose a serious threat to human life and property in terms of physical devastation and harm. Such criminal activities entail the use of force or weapons, such as explosives, missiles, or guns, to damage individuals or specific buildings.
In addition to conventional warfare, which is based on the use of weapons and physical force, an increasing number of countries are now engaged in non-kinetic warfare. These tactics include cyberattacks, misinformation operations, and even diplomatic channels to influence policy in order to accomplish goals via psychological, economic, and political methods.
China has been exercising its military might in an effort to project more aggression against Taiwan and maybe American soldiers in the area. According to a troubling study, Chinese capabilities have advanced to the point where they may strike US and Taiwanese infrastructure.
With the modernisation of its nuclear arsenal, China has become a formidable power, raising concerns among the United States and other countries due to their expanding military might and regional expansionist ambitions.
Taiwan and China have been at conflict over control of the island ever since the conclusion of World War Two; although the PRC’s mainland regards it as a territory, the Taipei administration argues that its independence is unassailable. This has led to ongoing military buildup in China near Taiwan’s borders as well as diplomatic tensions across the Taiwan Strait. The United States’ long-standing commitment to supplying military sales and other assistance strengthens their resolve to protecting this little but significant island from any possible attack by Beijing. The United States seeks to act as an anchor for security and peace across East Asia.
The relationship between the United States and China continues to be a source of conflict in the Asia-Pacific area since both countries stake claims to their different interests and show skepticism toward each other’s military might and international endeavors. Uncertainty abounds on the manner in which this geopolitical gap will finally be handled as tensions between these two major world powers increase.
Tensions between these two strong countries have reached a breaking point as major conflicts between the US and China have come to light, including suspicions of eavesdropping via observation balloons in North America and possibly military assistance for Russia’s operations against Ukraine.
