"Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, which is intended for Pei Gong".
The US media announced on the 22nd that three nuclear-powered aircraft carriers gathered in the Asia-Pacific region today.
The mainland's Taiwan experts hit the nail on the head: they can only fool those small ASEAN countries.
I. The U.S. "Indo-Pacific Strategy"
According to the news, the latest aircraft carrier to enter the waters of the Asia-Pacific region of the mainland this time is called "Roosevelt."
According to an official of the U.S. Navy Association, "Roosevelt" entered the jurisdiction of the U.S. Seventh Fleet around the 15th.
The aircraft carrier began to deploy on the North Island side of the United States, heading all the way to the Asia-Pacific region.
The other two aircraft carriers are "Carl Vinson" and "Reagan".
According to official reports, in October last year, the aircraft carrier "Carl Vinson" was deployed in the Asia-Pacific region, and on the 17th, it also completed a trilateral maritime exercise with the Japanese and South Korean militaries.
The USS Ronald Reagan has also completed its mission of cruising in the western Pacific and is currently in the port of Yokosuka in Japan.
In today's "Russia-Ukraine conflict", "Palestinian-Israeli conflict" and the Red Sea, why is the US military deploying forces in the Asia-Pacific region?
Quite simply, the strategic focus of the United States is still on the great power game.
Song Zhongping, a well-known military expert, was interviewed by the Global Times on the 23rd.
In the interview, Song Zhongping pointed out that the United States now has only one aircraft carrier in the Middle East, but it has three in the Asia-Pacific region, and it can already be seen that the center of gravity of the United States is not in the Middle East.
In Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, the Asia-Pacific region is clearly the point where the United States is more at the forefront.
But that doesn't mean the Middle East isn't important to the United States, which has amassed a large naval presence in the region in the past few months to protect merchant ships in the Red Sea.
Of course, the main purpose is to deter Allah, Iran and other countries from participating in the "Palestinian-Israeli conflict", so at present, the US aircraft carrier "Eisenhower" in the Red Sea is still carrying out its mission.
Today, although the United States has three aircraft carriers, China is not afraid, and these intimidation methods cannot frighten our navy at all.
Twenty years ago, the mainland might have been worried, but now China, those so-called nuclear aircraft carriers of the United States are not worth mentioning at all.
Not to mention three, even if it is 10, it will not help, just send 3 055 large destroyers.
This is also why Lai Yueqian, a well-known commentator on current affairs in mainland Taiwan, directly said that the United States is playing tricks and its main purpose is to fool ASEAN countries.
The United States is also well aware that three aircraft carriers are nothing to China, but it insists on doing so, and what it wants is this deterrent.
With three aircraft carriers at home, it can still make those small countries follow the United States, such as the Philippines.
When it heard the news, it seemed to think that China was going to "fail", and even began to shout with us head-on.
But most of the people in ASEAN countries are not stupid, although the United States has always called itself a "superpower", and it has been a hard-working performance in Southeast Asia in recent years.
But so far, how many people can believe these ways in the United States?
As the world's second largest economy, does China really have no strength at all? Isn't it ridiculous?
Second, it is impossible to check and balance China
Do you still remember the "Taiwan Strait Crisis" in the 90s? Because of a series of antecedents and consequences (if you are interested, you can go directly to the "Taiwan Strait Crisis" and not describe it too much here), the US aircraft carrier "Nimitz" and the "Independence" voyage conducted exercises and confronted China in China's southeastern coastal areas.
The Chinese People's Liberation Army is naturally not afraid, and has accompanied the United States in military exercises.
But in the end, this matter gradually disappeared, and it has to be said that it seems to be a "habit" for the United States to rely on its own forces to "suppress" other countries.
But this threat will only be effective until the 21st century, and China is no longer the meat of its predecessors.
The mainland's military strength is constantly increasing, and it already has the ability to directly and accurately locate aircraft carriers for strikes.
Therefore, in the past decade, the United States has rarely made such pressure moves, but occasionally it has occasionally made a noise in the South China Sea.
This is also a means for the United States to reassure its allies, so that they can continue to trust the United States to "protect" them.
However, these so-called pressures do not seem to be of any substantial use at present, except for some "sparring" services for the mainland's navy and air force.
With the development of modern military, there are many kinds of weapons that can defeat aircraft carriers, and the most familiar of them is anti-ship missiles.
Therefore, the words "aircraft carriers are useless" gradually spread. However, it is impossible for aircraft carriers to be useless in actual operations, and we cannot but admit that although the US supercarriers have no deterrent power, in actual operations, the weight figure of 100,000 tons is still huge.
For example, the United States has repeatedly lined up aircraft carriers to put pressure on Iran, but these have no effect on Iran, and the United States is wasting materials in addition to waste.
Then we in China don't have to be afraid, the mainland has a large number of weapons that can be used to counterbalance, such as Dongfeng-21D, Dongfeng-26, as well as our YJ-18, -21, etc., in short, a lot.
Even if we don't send our most advanced Dongfeng, the YJ-21 with a range of up to 1,000 kilometers is enough to make the United States at a loss.
And now there is also a saying on the Internet that this news from the United States is simply "fake" and is not rigorous.
Why?
As mentioned earlier, the aircraft carrier "Reagan" is currently docked in a port in Japan, and some researchers have found that this aircraft carrier is somewhat "weird."
Take the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier as a comparison, which has taken off and landed 7,700 operations in the past six months of deployment.
However, the "Reagan" is only 1,838 times, and this great contrast has to make people suspicious, so this data makes people think that the "Reagan" itself has a problem.
The reason why it docked at the port of Yokosuka in Japan was to let Japan repair it, but Japan only took over the work for a short time, and besides, the United States naturally could not let Japan get into contact with the core system of its own submarines.
Therefore, it is reported that the aircraft carrier "Washington" will take over the deployment of the "Reagan" in Japan this year.
The "Carl Vinson" is said to be moved wherever it is needed, and this aircraft carrier has been deployed in the Asia-Pacific region for nearly four months, and according to the deployment cycle of the US aircraft carrier, they are about to go through a period of recuperation.
So this is one of the reasons why "Roosevelt" came to the Asia-Pacific region.
But whether these news are true is still speculation remains to be examined.
epilogue
But the only thing that is certain is that no matter what kind of actions the United States makes to China, we in China are not afraid at all.
In recent years, the mainland's overall strength has steadily increased, especially its military strength.
Therefore, only when we are truly strong will we in China straighten our backs and have this confidence.
Whether the United States is pretending or really just to check and balance, we just have to wait.
