According to Global Times citing Nikkei Asia report, the US military originally opposed Pelosi visiting Taiwan at this moment, but now it seems that they are building a buffer zone for Pelosi's special plane in case she decides to visit Taiwan. The U.S. Navy resources currently located in the surrounding areas of Taiwan include the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that left Singapore last week for South China Sea , the Tripoli amphibious assault ship near Okinawa, and the USS. USS. assault ship deployed in frontier near Sasebo, Japan. In addition, far away from the Pacific Ocean, the aircraft carrier and the USS Isaacs amphibious assault ship are participating in the Pacific Rim military exercise scheduled to end on the 4th in Hawaii. At the same time, the flight tracking website also shows that two HC-130J "War King II" search and rescue aircraft and nine KC-135 aerial tanker have flew to Okinawa from in Alaska . Also, in the past two days, at least four US military reconnaissance aircraft have been active around Taiwan Island .
It can be said that the United States has used a large amount of sea and air force to gather around Taiwan Island in recent days. The purpose of this is not difficult to guess. As the Japanese media said, the US military tried to establish a buffer zone for Pelosi's special plane and make certain military preparations for its visit to Taiwan. At present, if Pelosi really insists on visiting Taiwan alone, the military forces that the United States can directly use in the Taiwan Strait include an aircraft carrier, an amphibious assault ship, an amphibious assault ship, and various military aircraft from its Okinawa base. Of course, if a standoff occurs between China and the United States, the United States will be able to mobilize aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships in Hawaii in the future. Such military forces will inevitably be in a state of turmoil for ordinary small countries, but it is far from enough to intimidate China or even challenge China's bottom line.
Mainland China has also made various military preparations in the Taiwan Strait in the past few days, in order to deal with the tension caused by Pelosi's visit to Taiwan. According to media reports, several PLA military aircraft flew near the so-called "middle line of the strait" on the morning of the 2nd. Taiwan media also said that the Shandong ship and the Liaoning ship have successively sailed out of the base, and the next stop is likely to be to go to the Taiwan Strait to "prepare for war". Also, there are three ships in the mainland, , which appeared in the eastern waters of Taiwan Island, including two missile frigates and one surveying ship. Fujian Provincial Military Region also organized live air defense shooting in a certain waters in southern Fujian. It can be said that the Eastern Theater Command issued the "ready battle, fight according to orders, and bury all invading enemies." It's not just a talk, but a real military preparation.
At present, the sea and air power used by both sides is barely evenly matched. No one side has an overwhelming advantage, but it is obvious that mainland China has the home advantage, and our navy and air force can quickly obtain fire support from coastal sea and air forces and various ballistic trajectories. The recent military base , which can provide military support and missile firepower, is just Guam military base . Its military base in Okinawa is likely not to provide some fire support on the shore, because launching missiles from Okinawa means that Japan has also chosen to intervene in the military confrontation between China and the United States. Then Japan will have to bear China's fierce revenge in the future. Japan will not do so unless it is absolutely necessary. Under such a background, if China and the United States experience military confrontation or even partial conflicts over Pelosi's visit to Taiwan. China can completely take the initiative and have a certain military advantage.
Then next, it is a competition between China and the United States' attitudes and wills. Whoever has a stronger will may overwhelm the other party and make the other party retreat. The Taiwan issue concerns China's core interests and is already a situation where there is no way to retreat. What's more, in recent days, China has issued extremely intensive tough warnings due to the incident of Pelosi's visit to Taiwan and has made various military preparations. Once there is concession under the US military pressure, all China's preparations will become a joke and will be a huge blow to China's international prestige.So based on various factors, China will face various pressures and launch the toughest countermeasures against Pelosi, and for this reason we are even more willing to fight the United States. What's more, we are ready for war, but we don't know whether the United States has the courage to go to war with China in the Taiwan Strait.
The situation between China and the United States is extremely dangerous now, and the clouds of war have enveloped the entire Taiwan Sea. Here we also remind the Taiwanese authorities not to try to challenge the mainland's bottom line. Pelosi's visit to Taiwan can be seen as a confrontation and contest between China and the United States. It can also be seen as the beginning of the "military reunification of Taiwan" in mainland China. After all, if Pelosi really "visits Taiwan", it means that Taiwan has truly moved towards "independence" and the mainland will have to take decisive measures.
