With the rise of China, it slowly regained its suzerainty in East Asia. The rise of the giant python on the ground has made the United States very unhappy, but in the face of China's upright general trend, the Americans have no better way, and its layout against China is slowly losing its effectiveness, to borrow the words of the commander of the US military: the US military is being "boiled frog in warm water" by China.
Why does the United States want to target China? What impact do U.S. measures have on China? What does the US military commander mean by "boiling a frog in warm water"?
Crossing the ocean to make a stalk
Neither interpersonal relations nor international relations are nothing more than struggle and cooperation, and what is at stake lies in the right to decide whether to fight or cooperate. In today's world, the United States undoubtedly determines the direction of international exchanges, and its definition of Sino-US relations basically is: cooperation on the basis of struggle, and when necessary, cooperation can be abandoned for the sake of struggle.
Americans' attitude toward China is mixed: on the one hand, they covet China's profound wealth, resources, and cultural heritage, and on the other hand, they worry that China will be robbed of its luster by a rich and powerful China. At the executive level, the Americans not only want to do business with us to make our money, but also cross the Pacific Ocean to prevent China from continuing to be strong, like a blood-sucking mosquito.
In order to restrain China's continued growth, the United States uses its military bases in the western Pacific region as anchor points, uses Japan, South Korea and other countries as minions, and takes the opportunity to provoke territorial disputes to contain China's energy, causing great trouble to China's peaceful development and national defense and security, so as to appease the US politicians who are making noise.
Speaking of Americans, the rise and revival of China has been an irreversible historical trend, so in recent years, the United States is no longer clearly-for-tat with China, but is behind the back of the eagle dog small country to disgust China, and their small actions do have a great impact on China.
Japan is an important part of the U.S. island chain blockade system, and has always been a pioneer in helping the U.S. deal with China. In 1970, the United States privately granted the Ryukyu Islands and the Diaoyu Islands, which were formerly owned by China, to Japan, laying the groundwork for the Diaoyu Islands dispute that would continue for decades.
Since the 50s of the last century, the Philippines has continued to carry out military exercises and economic operations on Scarborough Shoal, ignoring China's sovereignty over Scarborough Shoal, and later making rulings with international arbitration tribunals that violate fairness and justice.
What Japan and the Philippines have done under the manipulation of the United States is only the tip of the iceberg of the United States' clamping down on China, and these things have certainly plagued China, but we have not seen any storms and waves along the way, and China has nothing to fear about the dark and small actions of the United States, which has a basis in reason and reason, and the jackal will naturally have a shotgun to deal with it.
Doorstep layout
Chinese never cause trouble, but we are never afraid of things. In recent years, the United States has made a layout against China in the Asia-Pacific region and can no longer suppress China, so much so that Aquilino, the commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific, said that the U.S. military has been "boiled frogs in warm water" by China.
First of all, the Taiwan issue, which is of paramount importance, and the DPP authorities, with the support of the United States, have set off a wave of "Taiwan independence" on the island and have stimulated the mainland's nerves through various military and economic measures.
In 2022, U.S. political leader Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan aroused the anger of the mainland, and the Chinese Navy directly rushed through the so-called "middle line of the Taiwan Strait" and began to strengthen its inspection and control of the Taiwan Strait area, greatly limiting the scope of Taiwan's military activities and putting the reins on the increasingly wild Taiwan authorities.
In 2024, after the Kinmen fishing boat case, the issue of patrol control in the Taiwan Strait area has been put on the table, and the exaggerated appearance of Tsai Ing-wen and others has affected the property and life safety of Chinese fishermen. Now that the Chinese Navy has included the area in its daily patrol area, the activities of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) in Taiwan have been regularized, and the Taiwan authorities have stopped mobilizing troops because of attrition.
In addition to Taiwan, the farce of the Philippines in the direction of the South China Sea has gradually stopped. The Philippines, with the support of the United States, has been increasing its activities in Scarborough Shoal and other places, and Chinese fishing boats and scientific research activities have been greatly restricted.
Judging from the results, the layout of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region has gradually been subverted by China, and Aquilino is not wrong to say that he "boiled frogs in warm water". However, we must also see that China continues to increase its military weight in the South China Sea, and the United States naturally does not dare to act without permission, otherwise what awaits it will be a "thunderous blow".
epilogue
The South China Sea and other places are China's inherent territory, and for whatever reason, we must and should be in a state of invincibility in the coastal waters. Since the United States has to jump into our pot, then it should be a frog in peace!
