At present, the Russo-Ukrainian war is already in a stalemate, and the United States is constantly supplying Ukraine with a large number of guided weapons, and has also threatened to weaken Russia to the point of "unable to start a war", in a vain attempt to continue to arch in Europe. However, the Biden administration is not satisfied with provoking trouble in Europe, and recently it has frequently "tricked the ghosts" in the Taiwan Strait region.
For example, on April 26, US Secretary of State Blinken arrogantly said at a Senate hearing that the Us side would ensure that the Taiwan region had all the necessary means to resist the so-called "aggression." On the same day, the USS Sampson guided-missile destroyer crossed the Taiwan Strait. Former U.S. Navy Secretary Sesklopshi even said he would establish a so-called "no-fly zone" in the Taiwan region.
I have to say that the clamor of the United States is very noisy. In the face of Russia, which has a relatively weak conventional military, the United States and NATO dare not set up a no-fly zone in Ukraine after Zelenskiy's repeated pleading. Does the United States have the courage to set up a no-fly zone on the doorstep of the People's Liberation Army? This is a very obvious problem.
The United States is provoking trouble everywhere and clamoring wildly to maintain its global hegemony. However, it is foreseeable that us hegemonism is weakening, and the international wind direction is gradually shifting, especially a recent incident that has made the Biden administration highly nervous.
On April 29, China held a foreign ministerial-level meeting with Caribbean countries, which was conducted by video. At the meeting, all the foreign ministers of the nine Caribbean countries that have established diplomatic relations with China attended the meeting and declared that they would "pursue the one-China principle, support China's reunification, and oppose interference in China's internal affairs." This move has a great shock to the Biden administration, and even equivalent to a fire in the "backyard" of the United States!
Keep in mind that the Caribbean is located between South and North America, and for the United States, the region belongs to the backyard of the backyard. When the United States tried to subvert the Venezuelan regime, the U.S. Navy had gathered in the Caribbean. Moreover, the United States has frequently interfered in the internal affairs of Caribbean countries such as Cuba, Haiti, Barbados, Puerto Rico, etc., and has also sent troops to invade Grenada.
It can be said that the entire Latin American region is the "basic disk" of the United States, a large number of immigrants to provide the United States with cheap grass-roots labor, but also the United States geographical defense barrier, so the United States has never given up its control over Latin America, but the United States is facing a Latin American region that leaks everywhere.
The gross interference of the United States in the internal affairs of countries in the region has in itself led to rising discontent among the countries of the region. The increasing frequency of anti-American activities in Latin America, including the Caribbean, has effectively torn a hole in U.S. global hegemony.
Moreover, once the Caribbean region is anti-American, it will have a great impact on the national security of the United States. In fact, through the Cuban Missile Crisis, it can be seen that once the United States regards the adversaries of the country in the Caribbean shows military presence, it will directly threaten the security of the United States on its own soil, and conventional weapons and equipment will be able to directly hit the United States mainland.
Before the erosion of the situation in Ukraine, Russia had warned the United States head-on that if the United States pressed forward and threatened Russia's homeland security, Russia would show a military presence in Latin America at the right time. For Russia, with the rise of anti-American sentiment in the region, the conditions for deploying military facilities in the region are basically ripe, which is also one of Russia's bottom cards against the United States.
Now that the "backyard" of the United States is on fire again, the nine Caribbean countries that have established diplomatic relations with China have jointly declared their firm support for the "one China" principle, which is a serious shock to the US hegemony and has far-reaching impact in many aspects.
First, it has an impact on the prestige of the United States. The reason why the United States can become the leader of NATO and lead the entire NATO to encircle Russia, in addition to the comprehensive military strength of the United States far exceeding other countries, the most important thing is the "prestige" accumulated by the United States through continuous aggression over the past few decades. If the United States cannot eliminate the anti-American voices in the region in the short term, then more and more countries will follow suit at a time when "the world is suffering for a long time".
However, from the current point of view, the anti-American wave in the entire Latin American region has become more and more intense, and many countries are holding together to warm up, and it is difficult for the United States to change the anti-American attitude in the region by interfering in internal affairs.
Second, with the spread of anti-American voices, combined with the rise of a number of emerging countries, it is bound to weaken the hegemony of the United States. China's rise has become unstoppable, and this is a globally recognized fact. After China, India, Vietnam, Indonesia and other countries are also developing rapidly, and these countries also have fundamental differences with the United States in terms of interests, which will lead to the rapid contraction of the global influence of the United States, and the "offensive diplomacy" of a number of senior Officials in the United States has hit a wall in Southeast Asia is a good example.
Third, let other countries see clearly the essence of the United States. In the past, the United States exercised global hegemony and hit whomever it wanted, such as sending troops to Vietnam, attacking the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Grenada, Syria, and so on. Today, the United States can only use verbal threats and some sanctions to fight its opponents, as was the case with the Ukrainian war.
We all know that the War in Ukraine was provoked by the United States and other Western countries, and before the war began, the United States had a great posture of "defending" Ukraine and not hesitating to fight with Russia. As a result, more than two months after the start of the war, the United States has not done much except to sanction Russia and provide weapons and equipment to Ukraine, and the Biden administration has bluntly said that it will not send troops to fight Russia. This directly exposes the essence of what the United States said and did not do in the face of "great challenges".
The picture shows the Chinese Navy chasing the US ship at close range
This is true in the face of Russia, which has weak conventional military power and poor economic capabilities, but what about the United States in the face of China? Not to mention that China is still the largest trading partner of the United States. In terms of economy and military strength, China is the world's second largest economy, second only to the United States in terms of economic aggregates, and is rapidly narrowing the gap with the United States.
In terms of military strength, whether it is the basic industrial production capacity or performance of military equipment, it is not comparable to Russia's current mainstream equipment. Especially in the two aspects of the Navy and the Air Force, there is a qualitative transcendence. Since the United States does not have the courage to set up a no-fly zone in Ukraine to confront Russia head-on, how can the United States have the courage to provoke again and again on the Taiwan Strait issue at China's doorstep?
It can be seen from this that the United States continues to regard China as its "number one opponent" and repeatedly provokes trouble in the Taiwan Strait region, and it is the United States itself that is ultimately repulsed. At present, the United States is provoking trouble in the Asia-Pacific region to divert attention and find a step for the situation in Ukraine. Once a conflict is provoked in the Asia-Pacific region, will the United States still have a step? The answer is obvious.
