Amidst the India-China border tension, a new statement by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has emerged.

Mike Pompeo said in the Brussels forum that in view of the increasing threats from China to India and Southeast Asia, the US has decided to reduce its military strength from Europe.

On 15-16 June on the Indo-China Ladakh border, there was a violent clash between the soldiers of the two countries in the Galwan Valley, in which 20 Indian soldiers were killed. A round of meetings are going on to resolve the dispute between the two countries. But it is being discussed all over the world.

US Secretary of State Mike has expressed condolences on this tension before. US President Donald Trump said that he is monitoring the ongoing tension between India and China and wants to help.

In such a situation, the new statement of the US Secretary of State has again brought the India-China border dispute into the headlines.

Mike Pompeo said, "We want to make sure that we are prepared to face China's People's Liberation Army." We feel that this is the challenge of our times and we are going to ensure that our preparations are complete. ''

US President Donald Trump recently announced that the US would reduce its military strength in Germany. The European Union expressed displeasure over the decision by President Trump.

Donald Trump's opponents in the United States are opposing the proposal. In the politics there, it is being presented as a statement that weaken the US militarily. Elections are to be held there in November this year. In this context, this statement becomes even more important.

But in India too, this statement is being given much importance in view of the border dispute with China.

Mike Pompeo has not said this only in the context of India. However, India is an important partner for America in this area.

After the India-China border dispute, Mike Pompeo was the first to make a statement on behalf of America. Be it the US elections in November or defense matters or the Quad Group. India-US relations have been friendly on all fronts. This is the reason why Donald Trump has visited India before the election.

There is a good relationship between the two countries in the economic field also. But in recent times, India was excluded from the US trade priority list. Social relations between the two countries are also good. This is the reason that Indians are also the largest number of H1B visa seekers. The United States knows that India's support is necessary to stop the increasing pressure on China.

America is working two interests together with this statement. The first wants to convey Germany through it.

Secondly, when China's behavior was getting worse with India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan and Philippines, America felt that this was the right time.

Then America feels that the use of military power should be shifted from Germany to these countries. It is to be remembered here that all these countries are alliance partners or strategic partners of America. If China dominates all these countries then it will be financially damaged, as well as the partnership will be affected.

Therefore, this statement of America should be viewed as a growing concern of America due to the threat of increasing Chinese proliferation in Asia.
