Talk about an awkward silence. US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth made a statement speech The incident in California last weekend that the Australian media failed to cover. Apart from the now-standard rhetorical fears of “unchecked neoconservatism” and those trying to “make America the policeman, the protector, the arbiter of the whole world” and nervous attempts to make Trump the rightful successor to Reagan, Hegseth made a number of revealing comments about China. America’s policy was “not to dominate China, but to ensure that they do not have the ability to dominate us or our allies.”
