The United States and 26 countries will hold the largest military exercise in the Asia-Pacific region, with the aim of targeting China. In the face of encirclement, China's 055 drive and H-6K attack, and the People's Liberation Army surrounded the US-Philippine coalition forces on three sides, what kind of signal did China's counterattack release to the outside world?
On May 10, the "shoulder-to-shoulder" joint military exercise between the United States and the Philippines, which lasted for about half a month, ended. However, the United States did not survive, and the so-called world's largest naval exercise will be held, this time with the participation of 26 countries, led by the United States, the Philippines, Australia, Japan, and South Korea, which are traditional allies of the United States, in addition to France, India, and European allies of the United States will also participate in the exercise.
The 26-nation military exercises in the Asia-Pacific region are on an unprecedented scale, and needless to say, the purpose is to target China. We can see this military exercise as a blow by the United States against China, a show of muscle by the United States against China, and a support for Lai Qingde's inauguration.
In order to contain and suppress China, the United States has used all the forces it can use this time, not only integrating its Asia-Pacific allies, such as Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and Australia, but also European allies and India, an important strategic ally in the Indo-Pacific. This is basically the basic plate of the US strategic encirclement of China.
In addition to military provocations against China, the economy is also a frequent move against China, in recent days, China's top leaders have visited Europe, the U.S. Department of Commerce has introduced a bill against Chinese companies, before the Biden administration canceled Qualcomm and Intel's export licenses to Huawei chips, further suppressing Huawei, and then the U.S. Department of Commerce added 37 Chinese entities to the sanctions blacklist, on the grounds that they are related to Russia, nuclear, and pose a threat to U.S. national security.
At the same time, the US media also broke out that Biden will sign tariffs on China's exports of electric vehicles, photovoltaic products and critical minerals to the United States this week, from 25% in the past to 100%, which is a combination of trade war and military deterrence.
On 10 May, a US warship intruded into China's Xisha waters, and then China's southern theater dispatched its navy and air force to drive it away; not only that, but the United States also provoked its allies to step up its provocations against China, the Philippines continued to stir up trouble in the South China Sea, and an Australian helicopter, under the pretext of a United Nations mission, approached China's coastal waters and the Yellow Sea to reconnoitre, and was driven away by a jamming missile fired by a Chinese warplane, and so on, all of which show that the United States is provoking China.
China has responded to the frequent military provocations by the United States. According to Taiwan media reports, the US fighter plane wanted to land in Taiwan without the permission of the Chinese side, but the mainland fighter plane flew directly to Taitung to intercept the US fighter plane, and a fierce confrontation broke out. Li Zhengjie, a retired general from Taiwan, explained that the US fighter plane got in touch with Taiwan's defense department and wanted to land at the Taiwan airport, but neither the US military nor the Taiwan military expected that the PLA would appear directly in Taitung, and its radar satellites had not discovered it in advance.
At the same time, in the South China Sea, the Chinese Navy and Air Force also made big moves, with many ships such as the 055 Drive arriving in the South China Sea for actual combat exercises, and the H-6K also flew to Woody Island. The so-called 26-nation joint military exercise of the United States was "counter-surrounded" by China before it could be launched.
In fact, the U.S. military exercises in the Asia-Pacific region have no significance, because every move of the U.S. military is well known to our military, and the past US-Philippine "shoulder-to-shoulder" military exercises, with a scale of 16,000 people, lasted for about half a month, but they were tracked by our non-detective 7 throughout the whole process, so the 26-nation joint military exercise, in fact, has no practical application, but in the face of the United States' provocations, we must make countermeasures, otherwise its arrogance will be even more arrogant, and the United States so frequently flexes its muscles in the Asia-Pacific region, we all know why.
Recently, the US think tank said in a war game exercise: Once there is a conflict between China and the United States, all US military bases in the first island chain in the Asia-Pacific region will be destroyed by our missile forces as soon as possible, and the United States has deployed so many military bases in the Asia-Pacific region, which used to contain China, but now it has become a burden to the United States, and the United States can neither respond to China's long-range strikes nor China's hypersonic missiles, but the United States cannot retreat, and if it retreats, it will tell the world that the United States will not be able to do it, and the blow to the United States' global hegemony will be fatal. All of America's allies will not follow the same path as the United States.
Therefore, the United States must frequently "flex its muscles" against China to create the illusion that the United States is still very strong and can maintain superiority over China, but the United States obviously turns a blind eye to its nearly $35 trillion US debt, as well as the manufacturing industry, and even maintains Ukraine and Israel at the same time, and has to suppress China's overstretched embarrassment in the Asia-Pacific region.
The United States can deceive its allies, but not itself. Since the U.S.-China South China Sea game in 2016, China has firmly controlled the South China Sea. The 26-nation joint military exercise by the United States is also to support Lai Qingde's inauguration ceremony. Based on the current frequent small actions of the United States and the Philippines, when Lai Qingde takes office in 520, it is very likely that the South China Sea of Taiwan will not be peaceful, and China will inevitably take countermeasures at that time.
As a matter of fact, as the gap between China and the United States is getting smaller and smaller, the recent frequent attacks by the United States against China can only show that the United States has long lost confidence in China and has begun to become more restless. The success of the first sea trial of China's Fujian ship has even stimulated many people in the United States to be restless, and the US media has even shouted at the Biden administration that it is not worth going to war for islands and reefs that have nothing to do with the United States.
At the same time, even former U.S. Indo-Pacific Commander Aquilino, who frequently makes tough remarks against China, has to admit that China has changed the balance of power between China and the United States, and before the two countries come into direct conflict, the U.S. military will become a "frog boiled in warm water." It can be seen from this that there are not sober people in the United States, but they are not willing to accept the fact that US hegemony will inevitably decline, so they do their best to suppress China.
However, the United States' vain attempt to deter China through military deterrence will inevitably fail, and this will only make the true face of the American paper tiger appear to the world earlier, and at that time, it will only backfire and make the United States decline faster.
