In an interview with Aquilino, who is about to step down next week, he pointed out that during his three -year term, China accelerated the pace of military development and adopted more stable behaviors.They become more aggressive, bolder, and more dangerous.
Aquilino said that China is strengthening aggression through the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water. Such a strategy gradually heats up the situation, so that the final danger is undervalued until it is too late.
He criticized Beijing's strategy of implementing power in the Indo -Pacific region, as axioms, and believed that it was necessary to continue to explain to regional countries that China did not meet international regulations.
When Aquilino was tense in Sino -US relations, led the U.S. Army India Pacific Command.During the period, the then House of Representatives Perlis visited Taiwan in August 2022.

The most disturbed incident in his tenure: Before and after Pelosi's visit to Taiwan
For the most disturbing incident in his tenure, Aquilino said it was Perlix visited Taiwan , partly because mainland China misunderstood that interview as a change in the US policy. At that time, the Chinese social media also appeared to shot down the Perlis special plane.
Aquilino said: Chinese misunderstandings make me worry that they may take harmful actions.
Fighters in mainland China often fly over the midline of the Taiwan Strait, and the Chinese Maritime Police has become tougher around Kinmen and Matsuya Island.Aquilino said: This is continuously under pressure through action.I saw its range and scale continued to expand and did not slow.It seems that it will only become more aggressive.

In 1999, the Philippines stranded the Madre Mountains in the second Thomas reef and sent troops to station for 25 years.The Chinese Maritime Police has repeatedly used high -pressure water cannons to prevent the Philippines from transporting materials for landing ships.
Aquilino said: The Philippine Police Police Police and the service personnel were injured.This is a step further than the pressure strategy.
Aquilino called on the United States and allies to step up the ability to improve collaboration, including the establishment of alert system and weapons that connect countries to connect countries.To prevent this conflict, we must have a sense of urgency in implementing modernization capabilities and showing postures.
