Hello friends.
This article mainly talks to you about the situation in the United States, Japan and the Philippines in the past two days.
Yesterday (April 10), the United States and Japan held a summit in Washington; today (April 11), Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will deliver a speech at the US Congress; and tomorrow (April 12) at five or six o'clock in the morning, the trilateral summit of the United States, Japan and the Philippines will be officially staged.
Because the latter two things have not happened yet, we don't know what the outcome will be, so today I will mainly talk to you about the US-Japan summit that has taken place.
As I foretold, this US-Japan summit is no ordinary summit.
It's not like when Biden first took office or during the Trump era, when the Japanese prime minister was called to the United States to plot some issues, nor was it like when then-Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visited the United States nine years ago.
This summit represents an all-round improvement in U.S.-Japan security, and the increase is far greater than the redefinition of U.S.-Japan security in the Clinton era in 1996.
And behind this, Sima Zhao's heart is well known.
In their words, they have only two opponents, one is China and the other is North Korea. Among them, they increasingly see China as an adversary, believing that China may launch various military attacks as their main justification for improving security on both sides.
So, what did the United States and Japan talk about yesterday? The main aspects are as follows:
First, we need to comprehensively upgrade the structure of the command and logistics command system.
At the moment, the details of this are unknown, and I think this is also a military secret between the United States and Japan.
Second, the United States and Japan will strengthen bilateral cooperation in the high-tech field in all aspects.
In the past, the United States and Japan cooperated in some high-tech fields, but not in very cutting-edge fields.
Objectively speaking, the consumer goods that occupy the market in Japan are mainly electrical products, automobiles, and so on. In this regard, there have been trade cooperation and trade conflicts between the United States and Japan, which were not uncommon during the Cold War.
But this time, it can be said that it is an unprecedented one, the United States and Japan have strengthened cooperation in the high-tech field, and the depth and verticality of the field are astonishing.
The purpose of this move is also the intention of the United States to suppress China's high-tech fields, that is, artificial intelligence, quantum computers, semiconductor technology, especially high-end semiconductor technology.
Theoretically speaking, Japan did not have an advantage in the field of artificial intelligence in the past, but it still has some strength in the latter two fields, and Japan actually has a certain nuclear capability, but it has been suppressed by the United States.
To put it bluntly, the United States has always wanted Japan to emerge in some cutting-edge fields, but only wants it to become an economic powerhouse in the field of consumer goods.
At this summit, the United States and Japan have strengthened high-tech exchanges, which is obviously the intention of the United States to support Japan to become a high-tech giant.
However, the so-called giant may just be a dwarf giant, because the United States will absolutely not allow Japan to surpass itself in high technology, and this is completely unacceptable to the United States, otherwise all kinds of contradictions between the United States and Japan will erupt again.
In order to cooperate with the United States, the Japanese side is also well aware of this.
Frankly speaking, this is actually similar to the "Indo-Pacific Economic Framework" formed by the United States last year.
Third, the upgraded security relationship between the United States and Japan will cover the Diaoyu Islands with nuclear capabilities.
In other words, once the Diaoyu Islands are attacked, the United States will send troops, weapons, all kinds of military resources, and now even nuclear weapons to support.
Frankly, this may not be something that will happen for decades, and the U.S.-Japan security has already thought of it.
Of course, the probability of this happening is extremely small, but as long as it exists, it will be risky.
Therefore, this time, the United States and Japan have incorporated nuclear capabilities into the coverage of the Diaoyu Islands by the United States and Japan, and it is necessary to pay close attention to it from now on.
As far as the United States is concerned, Japan used to be just a "little brother" in the security of the United States and Japan, but now it has become a pawn to contain China's military development.
In fact, among the United States and Japan, Japan's role is higher than that of the United States, because it is not only a pawn who walks in the forefront and can sacrifice for the United States at any time, but also Japan is also a scientific and technological power.
Naturally, then, the United States will reciprocate by providing Japan with nuclear protection capabilities on the Diaoyu Islands issue.
Starting today (April 11), Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will deliver a speech to the US Congress, and we will pay close attention to what he will do in return and what signals he will send.
And by this time tomorrow, perhaps we can know what kind of situation the United States, Japan, and the Philippines will be after the Philippines joins.
Compared with Japan, the Philippines is at best a pawn of the United States, because the Philippines cannot become a scientific and technological power, at most it will only provide military bases for the United States, and the Philippines can donate its body, but Japan can donate its soul and brain.
But in the process of dedication, the Philippines is actually quite strong.
In order to completely tie the Philippines to its chariot, the United States has planned a "Ren'ai Jiao" issue this time.
In 1999, the Philippines forcibly "ran aground" a broken warship on the reef, promising to tow it away for a certain period of time, but now there has been no action after a quarter of a century.
This, of course, will cause displeasure in China, especially in today's tense environment between China and the Philippines.
Then China's dissatisfaction and certain actions have been hyped up by the United States to create a new discourse system, that is, China wants to carry out an armed attack on the Philippines.
Frankly speaking, if the Philippines does not provoke China, China will not bother to pay attention to the Philippines.
Because the Philippines is a neighbor of China, the people are relatively simple and kind, and the labor force is very young, China and the Philippines can have friendly exchanges.
The reason for this disturbance is entirely due to those extraterritorial forces in the United States, and of course, some political forces in the Philippines fanning the flames.
The U.S.-Japan summit is coming to an end, and the U.S.-Japan-Philippines summit is about to take place, and on the whole, the U.S. will set its discourse and agenda as "one island and one reef," that is, the Diaoyu Islands and Ren'ai Jiao, and the U.S. will package them as the so-called possibility of "military attack from China."
Under such circumstances, Japan and the Philippines will willingly tie themselves to the American chariot only if the United States creates anxiety.
From the US-Japan summit, we have already seen the intentions of the United States, and we can probably reason and predict the upcoming US-Japan-Philippines summit.
