共媒似乎不愿意提他有关“来自共产中国人的威胁”的评论:
MANILA (UPDATED) — US defense chief Pete Hegseth met Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos on Friday, saying the two countries must stand "shoulder to shoulder" in the face of the threat represented by China.
"Deterrence is necessary around the world but specifically in this region, in your country, considering the threats from the Communist Chinese," he said.
"Friends need to stand shoulder to shoulder to deter conflict to ensure that there's free navigation, whether you call it the South China Sea or the West Philippine Sea," Hegseth said.
"Peace through strength is a very real thing", he added.
