What Jiang said
“Our goal in doing so is not to dominate China, nor is it to strangle or humiliate them. Rather, our goal is simple. To prevent anyone, including China, from being able to dominate us or our allies. in essence to set the military condition required to achieve the iness goal of a balance of power in the Indo-Pacific”
Analysis
America's goal is not to destroy or dominate China but to create a balance of power where China and Japan compete, making both dependent on the US for weapons, resources, and financing
