JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - The Chinese 軍の has become 意味ありげに more 積極的な and dangerous over the past five years, the 最高の,を越す U.S. 軍の officer said during a trip to the Indo-太平洋の that 含むd a stop Sunday in Indonesia.

U.S. Gen. 示す Milley, chairman of the 共同の 長,指導者s of Staff, said the number of 迎撃するs by Chinese 航空機 and ships in the 太平洋の 地域 with U.S. and other partner 軍隊s has 増加するd 意味ありげに over that time, and the number of 危険な interactions has risen by 類似の 割合s.

"The message is the Chinese 軍の, in the 空気/公表する and at sea, have become 意味ありげに more and noticeably more 積極的な in this particular 地域," said Milley, who recently asked his staff to 収集する 詳細(に述べる)s about interactions between 中国 and the U.S. and others in the 地域.

His comments (機の)カム as the U.S. redoubles 成果/努力s to 強化する its 関係s with 太平洋の nations as a counterbalance to 中国, which is trying to 拡大する its presence and 影響(力) in the 地域. The Biden 行政 considers 中国 its "pacing 脅し" and America's 最初の/主要な long-称する,呼ぶ/期間/用語 安全 challenge.

Milley's trip to the 地域 is はっきりと 焦点(を合わせる)d on the 中国 脅し. He will …に出席する a 会合 of Indo-太平洋の 長,指導者s of 弁護 this coming week in Australia, where 重要な topics will be 中国's 増大するing 軍の growth and the need to 持続する a 解放する/自由な, open and 平和的な 太平洋の.

U.S. 軍の 公式の/役人s have also raised alarms about the 可能性 that 中国 could 侵略する Taiwan, the democratic, 自治d island that Beijing 見解(をとる)s as a 脱退/分離 州. 中国 has stepped up its 軍の 誘発s against Taiwan as it looks to 脅迫してさせる it into 統一するing with the 共産主義者 本土/大陸.

U.S. 軍の 公式の/役人s have said Beijing wants to be ready to make a move on the island by 2027. The U.S. remains Taiwan´s 長,指導者 同盟(する) and 供給者 of 弁護 武器s. U.S. 法律 要求するs the 政府 to 扱う/治療する all 脅しs to the island as 事柄s of "墓/厳粛/彫る/重大な 関心," but remains あいまいな on whether the U.S. 軍の would defend Taiwan if it were attacked by 中国.

中国´s 共同の 長,指導者s of staff chairman, Gen. Li Zuocheng, told Milley in a call earlier this month that Beijing had "no room for 妥協" on 問題/発行するs such as Taiwan. He said he told Milley that the U.S. must "中止する U.S.-Taiwan 軍の collusion and 避ける 衝撃ing 中国-U.S. 関係 and 安定 in the Taiwan 海峡."

The U.S. and others are also worried that a 最近の 安全 協定 that Beijing 調印するd in April with the Solomon Islands could lead to the 設立 of a Chin ese 海軍の base in the South 太平洋の. The U.S. and Australia have told the Solomon Islands that hosting a Chinese 軍の base would not be 許容するd.

"This is an area in which 中国 is trying to do outreach for their own 目的s. And again, this is 関心ing because 中国 is not doing it just for benign 推論する/理由s," Milley told reporters traveling with him. "They´re trying to 拡大する their 影響(力) throughout the 地域. And that has 可能性のある consequences that are not やむを得ず 都合のよい to our 同盟(する)s and partners in the 地域."

Milley's visit to Indonesia is the first by a U.S. 共同の 長,指導者s chairman since Adm. マイク Mullen in 2008. But U.S. leaders have crisscrossed the Asia-太平洋の in 最近の months, 含むing high-profile visits by 弁護 長官 Lloyd Austin and 国務長官 Antony Blinken.

The Biden 行政 has been taking steps to 拡大する its 軍の and 安全 関係 with Indo-太平洋の nations as part of a (選挙などの)運動をする to build a stronger 網状組織 of 同盟s in 中国´s backyard and 反対する 中国's growing 影響(力).

Milley 拒絶する/低下するd to 供給する 明確な/細部 numbers of 危険な Chinese interactions with U.S. and 連合した 航空機 and ships. But Austin, in a speech in Singapore last month, referred to an "alarming 増加する" in the number of 危険な 迎撃するs by People's 解放 Army 航空機 and 大型船s.

Austin 特に pointed to a February 出来事/事件 where a PLA 海軍 ship directed a レーザー at an Australian P-8 海上の patrol 航空機. But there have been a number of others. A 監視 航空機 controlled by Canada was recently 迎撃するd by a Chinese 闘士,戦闘機 in international 領空. Also, U.S. ships are routinely dogged by Chinese 航空機 and 大型船s during 輸送s, 特に around manmade islands (人命などを)奪う,主張するd by Beijing in the South 中国 Sea.

Milley said there have been Chinese 迎撃するs with Japan, Canada, Australia, Philippines and Vietnam. They all, he said, have seen a "statistically 重要な" 増加する in 迎撃するs, and the nu mber of 危険な 出来事/事件s has 増加するd by an "equal 割合."

Milley, who met on Sunday with Gen. Andika Perkasa, 長,指導者 of the Indonesian 国家の Defence 軍隊s, said 太平洋の nations like Indonesia want the U.S. 軍の 伴う/関わるd and engaged in the 地域.

"We want to work with them to develop interoperability and modernize our 軍のs collectively," Milley said, ーするために 確実にする they can "会合,会う whatever challenge that 中国 提起する/ポーズをとるs."

He said Indonesia is strategically 批判的な to the 地域, and has long been a 重要な U.S. partner.

Milley, who spent the afternoon at Andika's 軍の (警察,軍隊などの)本部, was 迎える/歓迎するd with a 大規模な billboard 耐えるing his photo and 指名する, a 軍の parade and a large television 審査する that showed a ビデオ of his career.

At the end of the visit, Andika told reporters that Indonesia has 設立する 中国 to be more assertive and "a little bit 積極的な" with 海軍の 大型船s in 関係 with terrirotiral 論争s with his country.

Earlier this year, the U.S 認可するd a $13.9 billion sale of 前進するd 闘士,戦闘機 jets to Indonesia. And in Jakarta last December, Blinken 調印するd 協定s for 高めるd 共同の 海軍の 演習s between the U.S. and Indonesia.

中国 has 非難するd U.S. 成果/努力s to 拡大する its outreach in the 地域, 告発する/非難するing America of trying to build an "Asian 北大西洋条約機構." During a speech in Singapore, Austin 拒絶するd that (人命などを)奪う,主張する. "We do not 捜し出す a new 冷淡な War, an Asian 北大西洋条約機構 or a 地域 分裂(する) into 敵意を持った 圏s," he said.
