On April 24, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken flew to Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport on a C-32 executive plane provided by the U.S. Air Force. The C-32 executive jet is actually a special aircraft based on the Boeing 757 aircraft, and the executive aircraft used by American politicians to travel is not much different from the Boeing 757 in appearance, but in fact the aircraft has undergone a lot of modifications. At Blinken's level, it's not enough to fly on a VC-25 executive plane converted from a Boeing 747. This is Blinken's second visit to China in recent years, and does Blinken's visit to China want to send a signal of goodwill to China? The War Research Institute believes that the US Secretary of State's visit to China is actually still saying one thing and doing another, and the United States will not make any substantive changes, especially at present, US politicians still maintain the mentality of Cold War confrontation, and the United States will always regard China as an adversary, and neither Blinken's visit to China nor US Secretary of the Treasury Yellen's visit to China will actually change. Relations between the United States and the United States.
During Blinken's visit to China, the U.S. side pointed out the need to make progress with China on a number of key issues, including the South China Sea, the Taiwan Strait, Russia-Ukraine, and the Middle East. A large number of surface ships of the US Navy are carrying out high-intensity operations in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait, especially after the defense ministers of China and the United States just ended the phone call, the United States sent a high-profile P-8A anti-submarine patrol aircraft to cross the Taiwan Strait, and now during Blinken's visit to China, the United States and the Philippines are "shoulder to shoulder" with great fanfare Under the premise that the United States did not show enough goodwill to China, when Blinken arrived in Shanghai for a visit, China also showed its fist everywhere.
Blinken's hotel in Shanghai is the Peace Hotel, which is located next to the Bund, and the PLA's 052DL missile destroyer Zibo is currently on display on the North Bund. Compared with the ordinary 052D missile destroyer, the 052DL missile destroyer has a stronger battlefield situational awareness, and can directly lock the target on a large number of stealth fighters of the US military, in addition to the air defense mission of the fleet, the vertical launch unit of the 052D missile destroyer can also complete a series of ground attack ammunition and anti-ship missiles. In terms of mission type, the Arleigh Burke-class missile destroyer is the same as the 052D missile destroyer, but the late-mover advantage of the 052D missile destroyer also gives this type of ship a stronger stealth capability.
In the course of Blinken's visit to China, China has shown its fists almost everywhere, and not far from the 052DL missile destroyer is a "Peace Ark" hospital ship, the "Peace Ark" hospital ship has already visited many countries, and the "Peace Ark" hospital ship is more mission nature out of humanitarianism, in addition to the appearance of two warships in Shanghai, the PLA has set up a number of military exercise areas in the South China Sea and other waters, which is "shoulder to shoulder" with the United States and the Philippines"The military exercise responded, on the other hand, it was also a demonstration of the PLA's attitude in the South China Sea.
Unlike politicians from other countries who went to China for a visit, there was no red carpet arrangement when Blinken arrived in Shanghai and got off the plane. At present, China already has a variety of weapons and equipment that can pose a threat to North America, and if the United States continues to provoke China and the United States intervenes in the Taiwan Strait, the United States will have to weigh its own strength.
