US Admiral John Aquilino warned while testifying before the
Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday that Taiwan faces an imminent threat
of invasion from the Chinese regime, even earlier than the international
community imagined.
Aquilino is nominated to become commander of the United
States Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM), succeeding the current commander,
Admiral Philip Davidson. On Tuesday in the Senate, Aquilino was asked about
Davidson's recent comment that Beijing could invade Taiwan in the "next
six years."
In response, Aquilino declined to back the six-year
estimate, saying there were "a lot of numbers out there" ranging from
"today to 2045." However, Aquilino warned that the imminent threat
against the autonomous island is constant and could be at any time.
