A few days ago, the United States pulled its allies to assemble in the Pacific Ocean and put on a posture of interfering in the Taiwan Strait and challenging the PLA.
On June 27, the "Rim of the Pacific 2024" military exercise, known as the "world's largest", kicked off in Hawaii, so what are the highlights of this military exercise? What is the goal of the United States? On the one hand, the "RIMPAC 2024" exercise was held by the U.S. Pacific Fleet, which lasted for more than a month, with 25,000 people from 29 countries participating, 40 surface ships, 3 submarines, and more than 150 aircraft. The United States dispatched the USS Carl Vinson, F-35 fighters, P-8A patrol planes, and V-22 transport planes to help.
Looking at the world, only the United States can call on so many countries to hold such a large-scale RIMPAC exercise, and the United States seems to be telling the world that it is still the world hegemon, can still gallop in the Pacific Ocean, and has a strong ocean-going projection capability.
On the other hand, the purpose of the exercise is strong, with the goal of simulating an attack on an amphibious assault ship. According to US media reports, the "RIMPAC 2024" exercise will simulate an attack on an imaginary enemy target ship. The target ship is the 40,000-ton amphibious assault ship "Tarawa", which was retired by the US military. Everyone knows that China is currently building large amphibious assault ships and plans to equip the PLA.
Previously, when the conflict broke out at Ren'ai Jiao, a number of Chinese 055 destroyers and 075 amphibious assault ships entered the South China Sea for actual combat exercises. This time, the U.S. RIMPAC military exercise, with amphibious assault ships as the target ships, naturally pointed at China. Foreign media said that the U.S. Rim of the Pacific military exercise "sank" amphibious assault ships, intending to "demonstrate to China" and prepare to intervene by force in the PLA's "attack on Taiwan".
Japan, Australia, and other countries that are closely following the United States will cooperate with the United States in conducting "multi-axis defense" drills such as target ship attacks, anti-submarine warfare, multi-ship surface warfare, multinational amphibious landings, and aircraft carrier strike groups.
Before the RIMPAC military exercise, the commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said that the U.S. military will turn the Taiwan Strait into a "no man's hell" by deploying drones, unmanned boats and unmanned underwater vehicles.
Although the United States has put on a posture of overwhelming the border and fighting the male and female, China will not be bluffed. Military experts said that the 40,000-ton amphibious assault ship was used as a sinking target in the "RIMPAC 2024" exercise to simulate an attack on "Chinese ships" and that the United States was preparing for military intervention in the Taiwan Strait.
Wu Qian, spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense, recently stressed that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and the so-called US military exercises cannot scare the Chinese military. Wu Qian said that those who clamored to turn other people's homes into hell should be prepared to go to hell.
The first is that China will never be intimidated by the so-called Rim of the Pacific military exercise by the United States, and is absolutely capable of liberating Taiwan and safeguarding national territorial security. On the other hand, China is ready to respond to external challenges. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) has demonstrated its strong military capabilities through the "Joint Sword-2024A" military exercise, and any attempt to interfere in China's internal affairs and obstruct China's reunification will not succeed.
The pace of the motherland's reunification is advancing, and the US bloc's all kinds of exaggeration, hype, and meddling in the Taiwan Strait issue are all self-inflicted hardships, and Chinese mainland will be ready to "fight with one punch to avoid a hundred blows"!
