According to the announcement issued by the United States and Japan, the United States and Japan held a large-scale joint maritime exercise from January 29 to February 1, during which the United States and Japan both mobilized aircraft carriers to participate, so there is a situation of the United States and Japan three aircraft carriers gathering. According to open source information, the joint military exercise between the US Navy and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force was held in the southern waters of the Ryukyus, that is, in the waters east of Taiwan Island, and at the same time, the joint military exercise was held after the conclusion of the "general election" on Taiwan Island, so the strategic intentions of the United States and Japan should be studied in depth.
According to the data released by Taiwan, Lai Qingde, who represents the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), won the "general election." Lai Qingde is a politician who claims to be a "pragmatic Taiwan independence worker." Therefore, with the election of Lai Qingde, more uncertain factors will be brought to Taiwan. In the face of possible changes in the Taiwan Strait, it can also be seen from the dynamics of the US Navy's CVN 70 aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson that the United States is very concerned about Taiwan, because the Carl Vinson almost did not intrude into the Taiwan Strait, thus walking around Taiwan Island for 3/4 times, and it was around the time of the "general election" on Taiwan Island, highlighting the US position and strategic direction on the Taiwan Strait issue.
According to the information previously disclosed by the Japanese media, the United States and Japan have long drawn up an operational plan for joint intervention in a possible conflict in the Taiwan Strait, and although the Pentagon and the Japanese Ministry of Defense have refused to admit it, it can be seen from the fact that the United States and Japan have repeatedly sent troops jointly in war games that the United States and Japan are trying to intervene in the conflict in the Taiwan Strait simply because of the so-called "fuzzy strategy" of the United States Without making it clear, the United States has been trying to deter the PLA through the so-called "ambiguous strategy" and trying to force the PLA to abandon its plan of action to reunify Taiwan by force.
During this period, the United States joined forces with Japan and South Korea to try to put a tight spell on China through the so-called "Indo-Pacific Dialogue" consensus, and the United States, Japan and South Korea issued a "joint statement" to reiterate their so-called concern for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. China has long made clear its position that Taiwan is China's internal affair and brooks no interference by external forces, and at the same time, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has also made its position clear, and there is no room for concession on the Taiwan Strait issue. At a time when the United States and Japan are aggressive with three aircraft carriers, North Korea has already set an example with its actions, according to South Korean releases, North Korea tested cruise missiles again on Feb. 2, and multiple cruise missiles hit established targets in the Yellow Sea that day.
For a long time, the United States, Japan, and South Korea have all shared common strategic goals, and this is because Japan and South Korea have a special "ally" relationship with the United States, because Japan and South Korea are both under the orders of the United States, so there is a situation in which Japan and South Korea rush to the front line to wave the flag and shout for the United States. In the face of the United States' encirclement and containment of the DPRK and its military deterrence of the DPRK, the DPRK dared to show its sword and directly responded to the pressure exerted by the United States, Japan and the ROK by test-firing cruise missiles.
