With the coming of May 20, Lai Qingde will also officially announce his inauguration on this day, according to a large number of news warmed up by the Taiwan media, at the inauguration ceremony of Lai Qingde will be flown over the city of Taipei by multiple batches of fighters in a low-altitude manner, and at the same time, Taiwan Island has been constantly hyping up this news for a period of time, and it is worth mentioning that among the many fighters flying at low altitude, it will also include the Taiwan Army's Brave Eagle advanced trainer aircraft and a large number of helicopters of the Taiwan Army. In the past, the leaders of Taiwan Island would participate in the inauguration ceremony of the Okinawa Prefecture governor, but this time the governor of Okinawa Prefecture, Danny Tamaki, made it clear that he would not participate in Lai Qingde's inauguration ceremony. Geographically, Okinawa is very close to the island, and Kadena, the largest U.S. air base on the island of Okinawa, is only about 300 nautical miles away. Now Okinawa Prefecture Governor Danny Tamaki has made a clear statement, which also shows that Okinawan politicians do not want to wade into troubled waters.
Judging from many Taiwan media reports, the former two governors of Okinawa Prefecture were both invited to attend the inauguration ceremony of the leader of the Taiwan region, while Okinawa Prefecture Governor Danny Tamaki, who was high-profile in his opposition to the argument that "if there is something wrong with Taiwan, there is something wrong with Japan," Danny Tamaki made it clear that he would not go to Taiwan. In recent years, the US military has been constantly stepping up various activities in Okinawa Prefecture in order to take aim at the island, and the Japanese side also believes that the US deployment in Okinawa Prefecture is very likely to lead Okinawa into the abyss of war, and once a conflict breaks out between the two sides of the strait, Okinawa will definitely be within the range of the PLA's firepower. On the morning of 10 May, during talks between Okinawa Prefecture Governor Danny Tamaki and the Japanese Vice Foreign Minister, he explicitly demanded that the US military stop its five-month parachute training at the Kadena base.
Lai Qingde's inauguration has become the focus of media attention, and according to the news reported by Taiwan media, the US Navy's nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are also carrying out quite intensive operations. The U.S. Navy currently has 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and it is highly likely that half of them will be in the Indo-Pacific region in the future. Judging from the information disclosed by the US Navy itself, the aircraft carriers currently active in the Indo-Pacific region include the USS Roosevelt and the USS Reagan, and the United States still has plans to continue to deploy additional aircraft carriers to the Indo-Pacific region.
In addition to the Roosevelt and Reagan, there will be nuclear-powered aircraft carriers Lincoln and Carl Vinson nuclear-powered aircraft carriers entering the Pacific Ocean in the future, of course, Taiwan's statement must also include the amphibious assault ships of the US military, because the US military has always called the amphibious assault ships the so-called quasi-aircraft carriers. At present, the US amphibious assault ship USS America is deployed in Japan, and this amphibious assault ship can also complete the carrying of F-35B vertical short take-off and landing fighters.
Due to the lack of a NATO-like defense organization in the Indo-Pacific region, the United States has also actively enlisted some countries in the Indo-Pacific region to join the United States in targeting and deterring China, but at present, it seems that more and more countries are not buying it. Japan is already at odds with the United States on security issues, and the constant accusations against China are likely to result in Japan being targeted by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) missiles in the event of a conflict.
