How to win in the South China Sea: US defense secretary wants a “new approach”

US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said on Tuesday that he wants a new approach to the South Asia conflict and the U.S. military is looking for a new way to “do things differently.”

During his confirmation hearing, Hagel told senators that he is “not a fan” of the current “one-sided” U.N. Security Council resolution against China.

He said he wants to “reduce the United Nations and the United States to being a team of six, but not more than that.”

The U.K. has already expressed concern over the U,S.

decision to deploy anti-missile defense systems in the region, which it says could be a “game changer.”

In recent weeks, the U in particular has said it is prepared to use force if China does not comply with a territorial arbitration ruling in the Spratly Islands.

On Tuesday, the Pentagon released a report saying the U is considering a “strategic plan” to counter China’s deployment of anti-ship ballistic missile systems.

The report also suggested that the U would deploy its own warships and planes to the area.
