According to reports, the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command quoted the U.S. State Department on August 9 as saying that in order to implement the "Proliferation Security Initiative" (PSI), from August 8 to 12, local time, 21 countries including the United States, Japan, and South Korea held multinational joint military exercises in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Why is the United States gathering many countries to hold military exercises? Was the exercise really aimed at implementing the Proliferation Security Initiative? On related topics, military observer Teng Jianqun will provide you with in-depth analysis.
The U.S. said the exercise was aimed at implementing the Proliferation Security Initiative. Teng Jianqun, a military observer, held that the so-called "non-proliferation" is just an excuse. Previously, under similar banners, the United States has repeatedly carried out military interventions in Northeast Asia and other regions.
Teng Jianqun: The "Proliferation Security Initiative" was proposed by the George W. Bush administration about 20 years ago, and it is a new excuse for the United States to find its own domestic and foreign affairs after the us-Soviet nuclear arms race stopped.
In the mid-1990s, the Clinton administration listed the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction as one of the four major challenges facing the United States. Since then, the United States has intervened in the North Korean nuclear and Iranian nuclear issues, provoked confrontation in the nuclear field, and taken the opportunity to carry out many military interventions.
Therefore, the so-called "Proliferation Security Initiative" put forward by the United States is suspected of "carrying smuggled goods.")
Teng Jianqun further pointed out that the relevant cooperation between the United States, Britain, and Australia in nuclear submarines has once again exposed the hypocritical "American double standard" of the United States in preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Teng Jianqun: When the United States has the advantage of nuclear technology, it strongly opposes international documents to prevent nuclear proliferation. When many countries in the world successfully completed nuclear tests, the United States had no choice but to participate in the negotiations of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
At present, the nuclear submarine cooperation between the United States, Britain, and Australia is seriously contrary to international legitimacy, and it has once again proved the "double standard" of the United States on the issue of non-proliferation, and the international community must maintain a high degree of vigilance in this regard.
According to reports, prior to the exercise, South Korea, the United States, Japan, Australia and other countries launched the "Pacific Dragon" joint military exercise in the waters near Hawaii from August 1, aiming at detecting and tracking North Korea's ballistic missiles. In this regard, military observer Teng Jianqun pointed out that the real purpose of the frequent military exercises by the United States is to engage in "great power competition" with China and Russia.
Teng Jianqun: The Pacific Dragon exercise seems to be mainly concentrated in Hawaiian waters, but it is actually a full-field, all-round missile defense exercise in the Indo-Pacific region, aimed at Russia and China with nuclear and conventional missile capabilities.
From this point of view, the United States is leading its allies to prepare for war in the relevant areas.
