Republican secretary of the U.S. House Asia-Pacific subcommittee, seeking nuclear armament in South Korea and Japan

A Republican secretary of the U.S. House Asia-Pacific Subcommittee revealed that he was seeking a nuclear armament in South Korea and Japan, and Defense Secretary Austin said, “Unprecedentedly, the budget is being aligned with China’s challenge. In the imperfect world we live in, out of strength comes deterrence,” he said of the $34 billion nuclear power budget.
"It's something I've been arguing for a long time and it's somewhat controversial, but I think we should seek to discuss with at least two countries about South Korea and Japan's possession of their own nuclear programs," said Rep. Steve Chabot, a Republican secretary.
Voice of America (VOA) reported that Republican Rep. Chabot was seeking third-party sanctions on Chinese financial institutions, namely secondary sanctions, deployment of additional missile defense systems against South Korea and Japan, or discussions with the two countries on their own nuclear armament, as a way to pressure China. It was reported on the same day that it was proposed.
Regarding North Korea that day, Rep. Chabot said, “China will not exert pressure unless it feels it is in their interests.” can actually be applied,” he said in an interview with the Washington Times Foundation.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said on the 3rd, “The United States is at a pivotal point with China, and American values, not Chinese values, require military power to set the global norm in the 21st century.” The dollar budget allocation was announced at the Reagan Defense Forum.
Secretary Austin said on the same day, “The defense budget includes $34 billion to continue modernizing the land, sea, and air nuclear triad, which consists of strategic bombers, nuclear submarines, and intercontinental ballistic missiles, and to strengthen the nuclear command, control, and communication system.” “The United States, NATO, Japan, and South Korea It is intended to secure a safe, secure, and effective nuclear force as the ultimate backstop to deter strategic attacks against US allies, including the US.
The US defense budget totals $773 billion in fiscal year 2023, or $34 billion, or 4.4%.
In its annual China Security Report last week, the Pentagon said China could increase its nuclear warheads from about 400 today to 1,500 by 2035.
The U.S. announced that it possesses 3,750 active nuclear warheads in a State Department announcement. <Refer to Russia’s “Rebuild Nuclear Forces by 2023” North Korea’s “Setting Strong Military Goals,” dated December 1, 2022>
"This report distorts China's defense policy and military strategy, makes unfounded speculation about China's military development, and seriously interferes in China's internal affairs on the Taiwan question," Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Tan Kefei said in a statement. He denounced Australia's support for US nuclear technology, which the French president said was intended to "confront China" with the aim of building a US-backed Australian nuclear submarine, as "nuclear tension escalation".
Reuters reported on the 6th, “Secretary Austin attended the dramatic night launch on the 2nd of the US military’s newest nuclear stealth bomber, the B-21 Radar, designed to surpass Beijing’s rapidly growing cyber, space and nuclear capabilities, which are designed to surpass Congress. “Already strained relations between Washington and Beijing were further exacerbated by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan in August, and China is an island It responded by firing missiles at (Taiwan) and holding wargames that appeared to be rehearsals for a possible blockade of the island.”
China’s People’s Daily reported on the 6th, “Recently, with the release of the 2022 China Military and Security Development Report, the US Department of Defense has distorted China’s defense policy and military strategy, made unfounded assumptions about China’s military development, and made unfounded assumptions about China’s military development, and the Taiwan issue in China’s internal affairs. It is interfering significantly, which is a common tactic to exaggerate the so-called Chinese military threat. In response, the Chinese side expressed strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition and raised stern negotiations with the US side.”
"Taiwan is China's Taiwan, and it is up to the Chinese people to solve the Taiwan issue," said Tan, spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Defense. It actively pursues the development of nuclear weapons, lowers the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons, and becomes the source of nuclear conflict through nuclear proliferation through the US-UK-Australia Trilateral Security Partnership Agreement.”
The Associated Press said on the 3rd, “The latest U.S. hack stealth bomber debuted on the 2nd as part of the Department of Defense’s response to growing concerns about future conflicts with China after years of secret development.” It is the first new American bomber and virtually every aspect of the program is classified.”
"This is not just another plane. It is the embodiment of America's resolve to defend the Republic we all love," said Austin at the Air Force Plant 42 appearance in Palmdale, Calif.
At least $55 billion is being spent on deploying the B-21 radar, a nuclear-capable bomber, according to the Associated Press.

In the US midterm elections on November 8, Rep. Saebot was defeated by the Democratic Party candidate by leading the Republican Party's theory of nuclear armament with Japan, and during the midterm election campaign, the Republican Party's argument for cooperation in nuclear armament was strengthened in South Korea.
