China warned that it is ready for war, the Pentagon reacts: We are prepared!
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth

The US is ready to go to war with China if necessary, the Pentagon has announced, after Beijing threatened tariff retaliation in what marks another escalation in an ongoing trade war between the world's two largest economies.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth clarified the US position early Wednesday in an interview with Fox News, responding to the Chinese Embassy in the US, which said Beijing was ready to fight "any kind" of war.

"We are prepared," Hegseth said, adding, "Those who desire peace must prepare for war."

“We live in a dangerous world with powerful, rising nations that have very different ideologies,” he said. “They are rapidly increasing their defense spending, they are modernizing their technology — they want to replace the United States.”

"If we want to prevent war with the Chinese or others, we have to be strong," he said.

The Pentagon chief also insisted that US President Donald Trump has "an excellent relationship" with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping and that cooperation and partnership will be pursued where possible. Hegseth stressed, however, that his role as defence secretary was to ensure readiness for any potential confrontation.

China warned late Tuesday that it would respond if the U.S. continues with a trade war or tariffs, following Trump's decision to double tariffs on Chinese imports from 10% to 20%. The tariffs came on top of tariffs of up to 25% imposed by the Trump administration on $370 billion in U.S. imports from China in 2018 and 2019.
