On Monday (January 5), US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that the Pentagon is reviewing the military retirement benefits of Democratic Senator Mark Kelly, a retired Navy captain, due to what it described as ‘seditious remarks’. Hegseth accused Kelly of being part of a group of lawmakers who released a video six weeks ago that sought to ‘undermine good order and military discipline’.&nbsp;Hegseth explained that as a retired officer still receiving military benefits, Kelly remains accountable to military laws and regulations. He emphasised that the military and the American public expect accountability in such matters. The controversy started when Kelly, along with other Democratic lawmakers, some of whom also have military backgrounds, released a video urging members of the armed forces and intelligence agencies not to follow illegal orders from the Trump administration. The Defense Department launched an investigation into the video in November, which is ongoing. While no action has been taken against the other lawmakers involved, the Pentagon is moving forward with proceedings to downgrade Kelly’s military retirement status.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/who-is-william-defoor-the-man-arrested-for-vandalising-us-vice-president-jd-vance-s-house-in-cincinnati-1767630375657">Who is William DeFoor, the man arrested for vandalising US Vice President JD Vance’s house in Cincinnati?</a>&nbsp;Hegseth revealed that a formal process, known as ‘retirement grade determination’, has been initiated.

A US defence department report has said that China is possibly seeking military bases in friendly countries like Bangladesh and Myanmar, which, if it happens, would add to its strategic encircling of India, known as the ‘string of pearls’ policy. The Pentagon report was mainly to assess Chinese national strategy, military modernisation, its nuclear arsenal of over 600 warheads as of late 2024, its goal for nine aircraft carriers by 2035, and threats to US interests. It noted that China’s defence spending nearly doubled since President Xi Jinping’s early terms. The defence department assesses that China’s historic military buildup has made the US homeland increasingly vulnerable, including through activities in the South Asian region.<h2>What does the Pentagon report say?</h2>The report titled Military and Security Developments Involving the People’s Republic of China discusses at length China's ambitions with regards to the Indo-Pacific and Taiwan.&nbsp;The report, released on December 23, is focused on China’s strategies, capabilities, leadership, forces, and activities.&nbsp;It talks about China’s activities in the Indo-Pacific, especially with regards to Taiwan and the South China Sea, its nuclear and conventional force modernisation, and global power projection.&nbsp;But what should get the eyes of Indian strategists is the report's mentions about Chinese arms exports to countries like Pakistan, its all-weather ally, and ‘potential basing considerations’ for other nations in South and Southeast Asian regions.Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/china-to-take-taiwan-by-brute-force-by-2027-pentagon-drafts-report-claims-beijing-loaded-more-than-100-icbms-in-silo-fields-1766472651526">China to take Taiwan by brute force by 2027?
