US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin has said that China is a "pacing challenge" for America. "You've seen that quite frankly through our actions. My first overseas trip along with Secretary Blinken was over to the Indo-Pacific region,” Austin said while adding that China is his "priority focus". He also spoke about his visits to Japan, South Africa and India, where he met US allies to form a strategy to counter China.
