「在美國及其盟友和夥伴於疫情期間相互支持的同時，中國共產黨持續有計畫地破壞規則、進行脅迫及其他惡意行徑……我們希望中共改變行事方式，但我們也必須為另一種可能性做好準備。我們必須共同維護自由和開放的制度，該制度確保了數百萬人的和平與繁榮，並捍衛了支撐這一制度的各項原則，也就是尊重所有國家的主權和獨立，無論其規模大小，和平解決爭端，共同遵守國際法律和規範，以及促進自由、公平且互惠的貿易往來。」— 美國國防部長艾斯培7月21日對英國國際戰略研究所發表線上演說。

“While the United States and its allies and partners are working in this time of plague to support one another, the Chinese Communist Party continues to engage in systematic rule-breaking, coercion and other malign activities…… While we hope the CCP will change its ways, we must be prepared for the alternative. Together, we must uphold the free and open system that has secured peace and prosperity for millions and defend the principles that undergird it — namely, respect for sovereignty and independence for all nations, regardless of their size, peaceful resolution of disputes, mutual adherence to international laws and norms, and the promotion of free fair and reciprocal trade."--- U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper at a virtual speech to the International Institute for Strategic Studies on July 21.
