The top U.S. commander in the Indo-Pacific pointed to a Chinese Air Force propaganda video Tuesday when making his case to senators why there is an urgent need to build a missile-defense system in Guam.

“Guam is a target today. It needs to be defended,” Adm. Phil Davidson said when asked to explain why he claims to need $1.65 billion over five years to fund an Aegis Ashore radar and a missile-defense system on the American territory.
