China: 'Wanton' Use of Force Will Not Make America Great Again

The Chinese defense ministry said on Wednesday that "wanton" use of force will not make America great again, following U.S. accusations of Chinese aggression and reports of higher U.S. defense spending in 2026.

"The sky-high defense budget exposed once again the bellicose nature of the U.S. side and its belief in 'might makes right'," said Zhang Xiaogang, a Chinese defense ministry spokesperson.
