En Múnich, EE.UU. insta a los aliados a mostrar fuerza colectiva para disuadir a China

En la Conferencia de Seguridad de Múnich, el subsecretario de Defensa de EE.UU. para Política, Elbridge Colby, enfatizó la necesidad de una fuerza colectiva entre aliados para contrarrestar la acumulación militar de China, mientras se persigue una relación estable con Pekín. Washington y sus aliados del Indo-Pacífico y Europa destacaron la importancia de la cooperación para mantener la estabilidad en el estrecho de Taiwán.

La Conferencia de Seguridad de Múnich tuvo lugar el sábado, donde habló Elbridge Colby, subsecretario de Defensa de EE.UU. para Política. Declaró que Washington desea una relación “estable y respetuosa” con China y evitar el conflicto, pero esto solo se puede lograr desde una “posición de fuerza” económica y militar, centrándose en trabajar con aliados en “fuerza colectiva” para la primera cadena de islas. La primera cadena de islas es una serie de islas y archipiélagos en Asia Oriental, que va desde Japón hasta Filipinas. Incluye Taiwán, que Pekín considera parte de China para reunificar por la fuerza si es necesario. La mayoría de los países, incluidos EE.UU. y sus aliados, no reconocen a la Taiwán autogobernada como un estado independiente, pero Washington se opone a cualquier cambio forzado del statu quo y está legalmente obligado a suministrar armas de defensa a Taipéi. Colby enfatizó que Washington busca la “estabilidad” en el estrecho de Taiwán y dijo que EE.UU. no intenta “ahogar” a Pekín.
