US says China would like to avoid war over Taiwan

Washington, Mar 20 (UNI) The US Indo-Pacific Command said Wednesday that it believes China would like to bring Taiwan under its sovereignty without a war.
“My view is that China would absolutely like to assimilate Taiwan without a war," Admiral John Aquilino, commander of the US Indo-Pacific Command, testified at a House Armed Services committee hearing.
Aquilino said this was clear by China’s “increasingly aggressive, coercive campaign against Taiwan,” such as deploying more ships in its vicinity, crossing the Taiwan Straits centerline with its air assets, and adjusting its flight paths to be closer to the self-governing island. He noted that China had not ruled out the use of force against Taiwan.
