(Resist the Mainstream, Sept 16, 2021)

Former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper reportedly ordered a “backchannel” message to reassure China the United States would not be seeking military action in the days leading up to the 2020 presidential election.

News of Esper’s actions come as General Mark Milley has been accused by former President Donald Trump of ‘treason’ for allegedly having said he would warn China if the United States planned to conduct a military strike this past October.

Multiple sources, according to an Axios report, indicate that top officials at the Pentagon were concerned that China was getting bad intelligence about a possible surprise attack by the United States.

“Esper directed his policy office to issue a backchannel message to the Chinese to reassure them the U.S. had no intention of seeking a military confrontation,” Axios writes.
