After being involved in an embarrassing security leak, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth still travelled to Japan to declare China the primary threat to America—and promised 'robust and credible deterrence' to protect Taiwan. His remarks sparked an immediate and defiant response from Beijing, including live-fire military drills near Taiwan. The Times’ China correspondent Richard Spencer analyses the significance of the comments and their implications. The World in 10 is the Times' daily podcast dedicated to global security.
