Today, the Indo-Pacific encirclement of the United States around China is close to taking shape, and at the same time, the "big fish" that China really needs to pay attention to has finally appeared, how should China clean up these five big fish? It is worth noting that at this time, Russia also threw a signal to China to resist the United States and the West, should China accept it?
Recently, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has attracted the attention of most international political concerns. However, we cannot ignore that the recent situation around China is not very peaceful. Just recently, the United States and the Philippines also collaborated with a large number of countries to hold high-profile military exercises in the South China Sea, and at the instigation of the United States, the Philippines once again forcibly entered Ren'ai Jiao on the 4th.
This series of actions shows that the United States is pressing on China step by step, and we even have enough reason to believe that if it were not for the sudden outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which concerns the situation in the Middle East, which the United States cares about the most, it is difficult for the United States to make any new outrageous moves against China in the near future.
But even if the Palestinian-Israeli conflict attracts the attention of the United States, it does not mean that the United States will relax its squeeze on China. In fact, the "Indo-Pacific encirclement" created by the United States around China has taken shape.
The United States is a country where sea power is supreme, on the one hand, among the major branches of the United States, the naval advantage is the most obvious, on the other hand, in the current global trade structure, maritime trade can be described as the top priority. Therefore, the United States has always attached great importance to naval construction and the consolidation of sea power. For China, in fact, it is essentially part of the "Indo-Pacific strategy" of the United States, because of the importance of sea power, so the United States is integrating the strategy around the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean into a set of strategies.
We also know that at least around the Pacific Ocean, China is the most important country that refuses to submit to the hegemony of the United States, so China is regarded by the United States as the biggest obstacle to its "Indo-Pacific strategy", and with the significant increase in China's international influence in recent years, the United States has begun to regard China as its biggest geostrategic competitor. Therefore, out of ambition against China, the United States has created an "Indo-Pacific encirclement", and this encirclement is composed of 5 countries.
Which five countries? The first is Japan, as the most important strategic ally of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region, in recent years, many affairs along the southeast coast of China, behind Japan's participation and arch fire, than this year Japan has been committed to strengthening strategic communication with the Philippines; When it comes to Japan, then the second is naturally South Korea, which in the Moon Jae-in period, South Korea played around China and the United States, in fact, it adhered to a more rational neutral position. However, since Yoon Seok-yue became president of South Korea, South Korea has taken the initiative to turn to the United States, which has brought a great negative impact to China-South Korea relations, and South Korea has also begun to cooperate with the United States to build an "Indo-Pacific encirclement" conspiracy.
After Japan and South Korea, the third is the Philippines, which is currently stirring up trouble in the South China Sea and wants to give the United States space to intervene in the South China Sea; The fourth is Australia, an important ally of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region, which has also repeatedly made inappropriate remarks on China's Taiwan issue in recent years, and has also responded to the call of the United States to participate in joint military exercises in the South China Sea; The fifth is India, whose repeated provocations in the Sino-Indian border area are also to some extent serving the United States' China containment strategy, but from land.
Therefore, with the order of the United States, the five key big fish of the United States forming an "Indo-Pacific encirclement" against China have appeared. How should China respond to this?
Here, some friends may think that there are just two countries around China that unswervingly resist US hegemony, Russia and North Korea, especially Russia, have always hoped to deepen cooperation with China, and have repeatedly thrown signals to China in various ways, hoping to jointly resist the US hegemony, and even South Korea has experts who point out that Sino-Russian cooperation can confront the United States and the West. It can be seen that many parties are waiting for China and Russia to join forces, should China do this?
In fact, Sino-Russian cooperation has been steadily underway, but not inclined to form alliances or target third parties, since Sino-Russian cooperation has been gradually escalating, there is no need to forcibly promote it against the United States and the West, which goes against the original intention of Sino-Russian cooperation, China has long made it clear that Sino-Russian cooperation is based on "non-alignment, non-confrontation, not against a third party", not long ago Russia also made a similar statement.
So since there is no alignment, can China deal with this "Indo-Pacific encirclement" alone? Absolutely. First of all, this "Indo-Pacific encirclement" has begun to loosen, and South Korea has recently begun to ease its attitude towards China due to internal problems, and has repeatedly expressed its intention to upgrade relations with China. In fact, since the beginning of this year, Australia has been committed to strengthening cooperation with China and joining the South China Sea exercise, which is more coerced by the United States, which does not mean that Australia wants to be an enemy of China. There is also India, combined with the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, India has previously decided to assist Russia hypersonic missiles and other news, because Russia still has a dominant relationship in the Wudong battlefield, India still decided to bet on Russia, and there is a certain gap between the United States and the West, it is difficult to come together.
Therefore, this seemingly formed "Indo-Pacific encirclement", what China really needs to guard against is only Japan, the Philippines and the United States behind them, and the effectiveness of the blockade against China has been greatly reduced, which is simply not enough to pose a substantial threat to China.
