In the big game of containment, containment, and suppression of China in the Asia-Pacific region built by the United States, the East China Sea, the Taiwan Strait, and the South China Sea are integrated strategic systems. In the event of an armed conflict in any part of the "Three Seas," it will become a conflict in the entire "theater," that is, China will have to fight against the United States, including but not limited to South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Australia, and so on.
As a matter of fact, this is the "Asian NATO" that the United States wants to build, and the specific operation is that the United States will organize "allies" to sign cooperation agreements, add security and military content, and form a joint combat relationship. Recently, the United States, Japan, and the Philippines have been particularly aggressive, and the United States, Japan, and the Philippines will hold a trilateral summit in Washington. Under the mediation of the United States, Japan and the Philippines will sign a "mutual access agreement," and the two countries will send military combat units to each other for garrison, training, and exercises. The source pointed out that this approach means that "the emerging regional multilateral security architecture will respond to China's revisionist behavior," and Japan will be regarded as a security provider in Southeast Asia.
According to sources, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will hold trilateral leaders talks with US President Joe Biden and Philippine President Marcos Jr., after which Japan and the Philippines will discuss the stationing of troops on both sides. According to the Philippine ambassador to the United States, this arrangement is similar to the practice of U.S. troops in the Philippines. According to the source, after the agreement is reached, the US, Japan, and Philippine maritime forces will conduct joint patrols in the South China Sea.
In recent years, Japan has played a very important role in the big chess game of the United States to contain and suppress China, and the United States has made Japan and other countries sign "mutual access agreements" by letting it play its role. As early as 2022 and 2023, Japan signed such agreements with Australia and the United Kingdom, and the two sides exchanged troops and even fighter planes. With the arrangement and support of the United States, Japan suddenly felt that "a heavy responsibility was on its shoulders" and was arrogant and arrogant. Now Japan has another boast: "If there is something wrong with the Philippines, there is something wrong with Japan."
Since the Americans have made such an arrangement for the "three-sea combat system," it means that whether it is the Taiwan issue, the South China Sea issue, or even the Korean Peninsula issue, the resolution of these issues involving China's sovereignty and security is not isolated, but will affect the whole body, and China must be prepared to fight a big war in an all-round way.
