Answer : 2. "China"
Explanation :

General Dong Jun has been appointed as China's new Defense Minister, replacing General Li Shangfu, who mysteriously disappeared from public view without any explanation four months ago. Dong Jun, 62, has a naval background and was previously deputy commander of the Southern Military Command overseeing the sensitive South China Sea region. His appointment is seen as a significant step by President Xi Jinping to put a loyalist in charge of the 2.3 million-strong People's Liberation Army, especially amid rising tensions with the US and Taiwan.
