Analysts have criticized Robert F. Kennedy’s view that China poses no military threat to the US. During a Twitter Spaces conversation with Elon Musk, Kennedy said that the US should engage with China economically, but not militarily. He also called for the US to de-escalate military pressure on China and let Taiwan and China work out their issues on their own. However, some analysts believe that Kennedy’s views are naive and do not align with the reality of China’s military power and ambitions. They argue that China is rapidly building up its military and overseas presence and has stated its ambition to overturn the US-led world order. Critics also believe that Kennedy’s call to engage with China economically would only benefit the Chinese communist regime.
