G20 Before and after the Foreign Ministers’ Meeting, US Secretary of State Blinken continued to visit ASEAN countries with the intention of inciting ASEAN countries to target China. However, these countries did not target China at the instigation of the United States. Instead, they showed favor to China during Foreign Minister Wang Yi's visit. The United States is also angry and intends to achieve its goals by showing off force.
South China Sea Strategic Situational Awareness released news on July 13 that the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier strike group was operating in the waters south of the Nansha Islands .
A message released by Observer Network also supports this fact from the side. The US guided-missile destroyer USS Benford illegally broke into China's Xisha territorial waters without the approval of the Chinese government. Air Force Colonel Tian Junli, spokesman for the Southern Theater Command, said that after detecting this situation, the Southern Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army immediately organized the navy and air force to track and monitor him, issued a warning and then expelled him.
Tian Junli pointed out that this is another ironclad example of the United States pursuing navigation hegemony to create militarization of the South China Sea. This behavior of the U.S. Navy has seriously violated China's sovereignty and security, undermined the peace and stability of the South China Sea, and seriously violated international law. and international relations norms.
Iron-clad facts prove that the United States is an out-and-out "security risk creator in the South China Sea" and "a destroyer of regional peace and stability." Tian Junli said that the theater troops resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and security and peace and stability in the South China Sea, and maintain a high alert state at all times.
Perhaps it was the recent diplomatic setbacks of the United States that prompted the United States to make this move. When Blinken visited Thailand recently, he emphasized the so-called "Indo-Pacific Strategy" to Thailand. However, Thailand's main focus is on strengthening cooperation with the United States in areas such as public health and climate change.
Before Blinken visited Thailand, Foreign Minister Wang Yi held talks with Thai Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Tun Don. Don said that both sides should work hard to connect the China-Laos-Thailand railway, allowing China, Laos and Thailand to pass through this channel to promote logistics, economic trade and industrial development and enhance regional development levels. In addition, both sides agreed to take the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the China-Thailand comprehensive strategic partnership as an opportunity to promote the development of the China-Thailand partnership and build a China-Thailand community with a shared future.
The purpose of the United States' visit to Thailand is to strengthen the United States' influence in the Asia-Pacific region and emphasize the so-called "Indo-Pacific Strategy". It is just to put pressure on Thailand and tie Thailand to the United States' chariot. However, the United States made a wrong calculation, and Thailand became more We attach great importance to cooperation in the economic and trade fields and will not jeopardize the prosperity and stable development prospects of the Asia-Pacific region in order to cater to the US strategy.
The United States dispatched an aircraft carrier strike group to cruise in the South China Sea. It may be that it realizes that it is difficult to deceive ASEAN countries into achieving the strategic goals of the United States with words alone. In order to make Blinken's next trip smoother, the United States will sail its aircraft carrier to the South China Sea to demonstrate the military strength of the world's most powerful country, add more bargaining chips to Blinken's negotiations, and form a deterrent to China.
However, many countries that Blinken will visit have shown a friendly attitude towards China during their talks with Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Malaysia’s Supreme Head of State Abdullah said that China is not only Malaysia’s largest trading partner, but also an important strategic partner and looks forward to maintaining high-level exchanges with China. ASEAN Secretary-General Lin Yuhui expressed the hope that ASEAN can strengthen its comprehensive strategic partnership with China and is willing to take the China-ASEAN Year of Sustainable Development as an opportunity to deepen cooperation with China in various fields.
Of course, attitude is one thing, but the main thing is to look at actual actions. However, the attitude can also reflect a lot of things, that is, ASEAN countries basically do not want to choose sides in the game between China and the United States, and just want to maintain good economic and trade cooperation relations with China and the United States. If the United States only wants to use force deterrence or economic coercion to force ASEAN countries to unite and form a circle to contain China, it will eventually fail.
