Not long ago, the joint formation of Chinese and Russian navies conducted the first joint cruise in the western Pacific and almost circled Japan, which greatly shocked Japan and its ally the United States, who shouted "very rare", which is a "demonstration" between China and Russia, and senior US military officials have labeled China and Russia as "intimidating other countries".

According to the Global Network, a few days ago, US Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro said in an interview with Japanese media that China and Russia are trying to take actions that are "not in line with international law" to "intimidate" other countries, and in order to prevent China and Russia from "intimidating and invading other countries", the United States should strengthen relations with Indo-Pacific partners such as Japan and Australia. He also claimed that the United States may consider expanding the Presence of the Seventh Fleet in the region and reassessing and adjusting the global deployment of U.S. forces in order to ensure its own interests in the Indo-Pacific.

Obviously, del Toro's "intimidation" operation between China and Russia refers to the fact that the Chinese and Russian warship formations are cruising around Japan. However, he believed that this was "inconsistent with international law" but unjustified, and during the cruise, the Formation of Chinese and Russian ships did not enter the territorial waters of other countries. Even Japan had to admit that the Sino-Russian joint formation "did not invade Japanese territorial waters." Previously, when responding to this matter, the US Department of Defense did not accuse China and Russia of violating international law, and said that it had no opinion on The Sino-Russian military exercises.
Even the US Department of Defense did not accuse china of attacking China, but adopted a more conservative and ambiguous attitude, but Del Toro jumped out and made a big fuss, which inevitably made people suspect that he was trying to gain eyeballs and make profits. For a long time, the United States has taken the Sino-Russian "threat" as a cash cow in congress to demand more military budgets, and the Sino-Russian joint cruise has provided them with opportunities. In addition, it can be seen from Del Toro's rhetoric to expand the existence of the Seventh Fleet that Del Toro accused China and Russia of "intimidation" and "aggression", which is to a considerable extent to find an excuse for the US military to strengthen its deployment in the Indo-Pacific, and encourages allies to join forces against China and Russia.

China and Russia have long stated that this joint operation will not target any third party, and that the US military must charge us in order to package its ambitions in the Indo-Pacific as a "just act" to curb "aggression." However, the United States flaunts its might in major seas all day long under the banner of "freedom of navigation" and stirs up trouble in the hot spots of the South China Sea, and what right does it have to accuse China, and it is the United States that is really intimidating other countries with ships, even if they try their best to put on the cloak of justice for themselves, the world also knows the essence of its hegemony and hegemony.
Instead of blaming China, the United States should first respond to China's questions. The US Navy's "Connecticut" submarine quietly dives in the waters of the South China Sea in early October, and as a result, it hit an unknown object; the Chinese side has repeatedly asked the US side to announce the specific causes of the nuclear submarine accident, but the United States has always remained silent, not knowing what secrets or conspiracies are hidden by the United States.
It is clear who poses the threat of "aggression" to the Indo-Pacific region. In the face of the wolf ambitions and tight pace of the United States and its allies, it is also necessary for the Sino-Russian joint military exercise to strengthen the ability to deal with maritime threats. At the same time, the strong strength and tough attitude shown by the Sino-Russian joint cruise are also a warning to those who have brought peace and stability to the region in turmoil.
