Republican Vice Presidential candidate J.D. Vance has recently stated on many occasions that he regards the Chinese Communist Party as the primary threat, emphasizing the importance of defending Taiwan, and strengthening NATO but requiring allies to take more responsibility. This reflects the Republican camp's views on the current international situation and its response strategy.

Kiev Independent reported that Vance was asked about foreign policy on the Podcast "The Tim Dillon Show" hosted by American stand-up comedian Tim Dillon on the 26th. He said that compared with Ukraine, Taiwan is more important to the strategic interests of the United States: "Taiwan produces a large number of computer chips, which are the driving force of all economic growth. If the Chinese Communist Party takes over Taiwan, it will really be a bad thing for us."

Vance further elaborated on his views on NBC's "Meet the Press" program on the 27th. He said that if Trump is re-elected president, the United States will continue to stay in NATO, but at the same time require European allies, especially Germany, to assume more defense responsibilities. Vance said: "Trump wants NATO to be strong and wants us to stay in NATO. But he also wants NATO countries to really bear their share of the defense burden."

On the issue of Russia, Vance refused to call Putin an "enemy" and believed that Putin's cooperation was still needed to end the Ukrainian war. He emphasized that compared with Russia, the CCP is the biggest threat facing the United States.

Vance once expounded his views in a column in the New York Times, calling for an immediate end to the Russian-Ukrainian war, saying: "The Chinese Communist Party poses the greatest threat to the United States. Today, the United States is too "de-industrialized" to support a strong army to simultaneously confront Russia and deter the Chinese Communist Party."
