Recently, a military exercise called the 'Blade of the Shield' was conducted by 19 nations, including the United States, Japan, and Australia, focusing on strengthening deterrence against China's military expansion. This exercise involved multiple tactics and aimed to enhance cooperation among the participating nations, making it clear to China the potential consequences of its actions in the region.

Additionally, former US President Donald Trump’s 'Art of the Deal' approach is gaining attention again, particularly his proposal to exchange chips for rare earths. This initiative not only aims to bolster the US's competitiveness in the semiconductor industry but also suggests a willingness to relax export controls on NVIDIA, especially concerning the H20 chips.

Furthermore, the US continues to provide military aid to Ukraine while sending threats to Russia, all of which simultaneously places additional pressure on China. This raises greater international concern regarding China's military expansion and behavior.
