In order to suppress China, the United States and its allies have carried out a series of military maneuvers, the United States has mobilized three nuclear aircraft carriers in the Asia-Pacific region, and Japan has purchased 400 "Tomahawk" missiles from the United States. In addition, the US warship recently passed through the Taiwan Strait, and the US think tank hyped that the mainland "will not be able to attack Taiwan" within five years. What do you think of this series of provocations by the United States and its allies?
The first target of such an obvious flex of muscles by the three US aircraft carriers in the Asia-Pacific region is definitely aimed at China, which is not only to express military support for its allies, but also to force China to make concessions on issues. These topics include the Korean Peninsula issue, the Ren'ai Jiao issue, and so on. On the Korean Peninsula issue, China's consistent position is to promote peace talks and does not want a conflict on the peninsula to affect stability in East Asia. However, the United States and South Korea have frequently launched military provocations, which have also triggered fierce counterattacks by North Korea. North Korea recently announced that it would designate South Korea as its main enemy, abolish the institution for peaceful reunification, and conducted a number of missile tests, including the Tsunami-5-23 underwater nuclear weapons system test and the new Rocket-31 strategic cruise missile, sending a serious warning to the United States and South Korea. Under the provocation of the United States and South Korea, the crisis on the peninsula spiraled and turned into a powder keg. China does not want this powder keg to be detonated, and hopes that all parties concerned will remain calm and exercise restraint and refrain from taking actions that will aggravate tensions. China will never budge in the handling of the Ren'ai Jiao issue, and will certainly prevent the Philippines from supplying building materials to beached warships, and this will not change because of the arrival of US aircraft carriers.
Second, the United States agreed to sell Japan 400 Tomahawk missiles with a range of 1,600 kilometers, which are American sea-based cruise missiles that can hit aircraft carriers and launch long-range attacks on land targets from the sea. This reflects a major problem: the United States has taken a more aggressive attitude towards Japan's arms sales, and has never sold such weapons in the past, for fear of provoking China. However, due to China's increasing strength, Japan's role in restraining China's military power is rapidly decreasing, so the United States may sell other weapons to Japan in the future. The "Tomahawk" missile weapon this time has made a breakthrough in Japan's attack and long-range strike capabilities, and next, Japan-US military cooperation has entered a stage of deep integration. The reason for doing so is that the United States wants to build Japan into an "anti-China" sharp knife.
In response, China's Ministry of National Defense said that the United States connived at and supported Japan's arms expansion, intensified the momentum of the arms race, undermined regional peace and security, undermined global strategic stability, and undermined the international order based on international law.
To sum up, in 2024, the United States will definitely step up all kinds of provocations against China, no, the US ship passed through the Taiwan Strait a few days ago, and the PLA will be on alert throughout the entire transit operation of the US ship, and deal with it in accordance with laws and regulations. The PLA's actions have also demonstrated to the United States China's determination to safeguard its national interests.
At a time when the US warship passed through the Taiwan Strait, a US think tank hyped up, saying that the Taiwan authorities were preparing to build a "missile command center" and had purchased hundreds of shore-based "Harpoon" anti-ship missile systems from the United States, thus carrying out a "military blockade" of the Taiwan Strait. US experts believe that once the "missile command center" is established, a solid "defense line" will be established in the Taiwan Strait, which will make the PLA "fearful" and the mainland "unable to "attack Taiwan" in the next five years, because the military investment in carrying out amphibious operations is much higher than that of "blockading Taiwan Island."
The "Harpoon" anti-ship missile has a range of only 130 kilometers, but the PLA's Dongfeng series has a range of several hundred kilometers or several thousand kilometers, and the hypersonic missile series are much more advanced. If the Taiwan Strait really starts fighting, the so-called "missile command center" and missile positions will be wiped out in the first round of saturation attacks by the Dongfeng missiles.
