Lao Mei is really "warm-hearted", but their enthusiasm is often uneasy and kind, saying that China will build 8 overseas military bases. We don't know about this in China itself, and Lao Mei helped us arrange all the places. But to be honest, this overseas military base is really heartwarming to hear, which one is Lao Mei? Where are these 8 military bases?
A well-known think tank in the United States released the research results, they issued an article: China is now stepping up the promotion of the establishment of new overseas military bases in 8 places around the world in the future. The eight sites are also found in Pakistan, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Vanuatu and Mozambique and Mauritania in Africa.
Needless to say, this place is a good choice for us, and it is a "golden location" that guards various throat waterways. But how can we not know about this in China itself? Obviously, this is another means for Lao Mei to advocate the theory of the China threat, and it is difficult for Lao Mei to make them say that they have noses and eyes.
After entering the age of navigation, the world's oceans are vast, it seems that the sea is wide and jumping, but in fact, the world's ocean shipping can not bypass several key nodes, such as the Suez Canal, Panama Canal, Malacca Strait, etc., each of which is a strategic place and has high economic benefits. After World War II, 16 maritime choke points in the world were under the control of Lao Mei, and even now, the US military still has 374 overseas military bases alone, distributed in 140 countries and regions around the world.
The reason why Lao Mei can exercise hegemony in the world, in addition to relying on ten aircraft carrier battle groups of 100,000 tons, the biggest reliance is on these overseas military bases. And now, the United States actually says that China also wants to build military bases overseas.
In fact, the idea of the United States is nothing more than a few, the first is that the Pentagon is short of military spending, and we have to blow us a little harder, so that they can ask for more military funding with the lords on Capitol Hill. The second is that Lao Mei wants to make some small moves, but she is still worried that she is unreasonable and unjustified, so she wants to create some momentum in public opinion in advance, so that she can act conveniently later. But in any case, this is Lao Mei's consistent means.
However, the situation is a little different now, and the United States may have another reason to do so. What is the reason for this? In recent years, China has not only been catching up with the United States economically, but also has been able to wrestle with the United States in the high-tech field in industrial upgrading. Moreover, with the advantages of a complete industrial chain, there is also a great tendency to break through the blockade of old American technology. Militarily, various new equipment continues to emerge, and the naval power is gradually able to compete with the US military.
Moreover, over the years, with the mainland's continuous assistance for infrastructure construction overseas, many countries have maintained very good relations with the mainland. This made Lao Mei feel anxious and even panicked, in other words, they were a little worried that the mainland would really build military bases overseas. The US military now has no advantage in the first island chain, and if the mainland is really allowed to establish military bases overseas, it will further compress the US military strategy. So they must be afraid, and if you look at it this way, it is not difficult to understand their various practices.
However, the mainland is different from them, we have always been based on the concept of peace and mutual benefit, and will not exercise hegemony everywhere like the United States, with its own fists. And Lao Mei's calculation, I am afraid that it is also destined to be empty, and when the time comes, it will only make us more dominant. What do you think?
