The US aircraft carrier has recently committed provocative acts. According to the South China Sea Strategic Situational Awareness disclosed on April 1, satellite imagery showed that the US aircraft carrier LINCOLN maneuvered around the periphery of China's Spratly Islands during the US-Philippines military exercise. The Nansha Islands are Chinese territory, and this move by the US aircraft carrier is very dangerous, exacerbating the risk of the Chinese and AMERICAN navies fighting each other in the South China Sea.
The military exercise is known as the largest military exercise in the past three decades, of which the US military dispatched 5100 people and the Philippine army dispatched 3800 people, which is the first time in the previous joint military exercises between the United States and the Philippines that the number of US troops participating in the exercise exceeded that of the Philippine army. As an extraterritorial force, the United States is a more active party in this military exercise.
This military exercise is another "masterpiece" to intensify regional tensions after the United States formally proposed the Indo-Pacific strategy. The drill area revolves around the Philippine island of Luzon, extends to the bashi strait to the north, and the military exercise area is close to the Taiwan region of China.
The Taiwan military claimed that the PLAAF has dispatched thirteen sorties of fighters in recent days, two of which flew from the southwest direction of Taiwan Island to the southeast of Taiwan Island, and on the way, the Bashi Strait where the US military conducted military exercises was unveiled. The Taiwan military did not disclose the PLA Navy's countermeasures against the United States, but the statement of Qiu Guozheng, the head of the Taiwan military, can roughly glimpse the inner drama of "Taiwan independence." Qiu Guozheng said that whenever US aircraft and ships appear near the Taiwan Strait, PLA warships and planes will appear at the same time. The Taiwan military has taken note of the PLA's military strategy of training with the enemy.
Under the circumstance that the PLA's army, navy, and air force are developing simultaneously with the mainland's comprehensive national strength, the US military is not qualified to flaunt its might at the doorstep of China. The PLA also has sufficient air and naval strength to counter the provocations of the US military. Timely closure is the only feasible way for the United States to avoid the gradual exhaustion of its military hegemony in the South China Sea.
The top nuclear submarine in active service in the United States in October last year had a serious mountain collision accident in the South China Sea, which occurred at nearly the same time as the US-Japan-British aircraft carrier exercise. During the U.S. 4-carrier exercise in January, the F-35C was removed from Karl V. The deck of the USS Vincenne slipped off and fell directly into the sea, Karl. The Vinson was urgently returned to the United States, and the F-35C was urgently mobilized and salvaged by the U.S. military.
The US military is far away from the mainland with high frequency and high intensity to launch provocations, and the PLA has no reason not to accompany the US military to enjoy itself. Although the US military is clamoring for a return to the Asia-Pacific and Indo-Pacific strategy, the reality in the South China Sea is that the US military hegemony is gradually exhausted in the South China Sea, and the storms that the US military can provoke are getting smaller and smaller. This is not only because the STRENGTH of the PLA's countermeasures against the United States under the condition of enemy training has made the United States more and more overwhelmed, but also because the United States only knows how to stir up dissension and military coercion, which runs counter to the common vision of the countries in the South China Sea that aspires to development.
Indonesia has recently issued a question, and the public will ask, if the Indo-Pacific strategy cannot bring any economic benefits to the people of the region, then what is the significance of this strategy? This strategy does have a significance, that is, the US military is trying to force the construction of commercial toll booths unilaterally priced by the US military in the Asia-Pacific region with sustained economic development based on this unilateral framework. This act of the US military is unpopular and unpopular, and it is bound to attract more and more opposition in the region.
A senior Philippine provincial official in the US-Philippines joint military exercise area recently said that the United States and the Philippines can conduct various types of military exercises, but they should never conduct live-fire exercises, and the exercise area is close to the Taiwan Strait, and the United States and the Philippines should not infringe on China. At the same time that the US-Philippines military exercise, in which the MAJORity of the US military is conducted, the foreign ministers of Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, and the Philippines will visit China one after another. Philippine President Duterte, whose presidency is about to expire, also revealed in recent days that he plans to visit China.
The Attitude of the Philippines towards the US-Philippines military exercises can be seen.
