has just started this year, and there have been great dramas in the United States one after another, and the beautiful scenery is also one after another. It's just that some people in the US political arena came to the stage and some people came to an end. They insisted on Trump , who sought a comeback for two months, and finally lost! However, Trump, who has always been good at doing things, will obviously not step down silently, and will certainly take action internationally. Sure enough, the Trump administration did something contrary to American practice in the final period of his term.
According to a report by Observer Network on January 13, the Trump administration suddenly and rarely decrypted a confidential document of the "Indo-Pacific Strategy" that day. The content of this document is roughly the US strategic policy around the Indo-Pacific region, and it also points out that China is the "top priority"! The publication of this document reveals the geopolitical and national security challenges that the Biden government will inherit. However, according to the practice of the US government, White House wants to decrypt the document, it has to wait until after 30.
But Trump estimates that he can't control so much. Now what makes Congress unhappy, he does what he does. However, this document, which was declassified 30 years in advance, is actually considered confidential only by the United States and its allies. In fact, the content of the document has already been judged internationally.
As anyone with a discerning eye can see, in recent years, the US government’s military strategic focus has slowly shifted from , the Middle East, and to the Indo-Pacific region, and it has threatened countries around the South China Sea during the period after Trump took office. It is very clear that its strategic goals are not classified as secrets.
is just that, judging from the encirclement and interception of the United States in recent years, it has not actually taken advantage of the South China Sea and the Indo-Pacific region. In particular, the Trump administration's plan to "isolate" China has not been implemented at all. After Japan became the U.S. spokesperson in the Indo-Pacific region, the U.S. wanted Japan as the core to establish an "Asian NATO" in the surrounding area, especially to join ASEAN, but the Trump administration clearly underestimated the appetite of ASEAN countries and did not give enough response. Bargaining chips.
In addition, Trump, who has always been arbitrary in the world, refused to participate in the ASEAN summit and took the United States step by step away from ASEAN. The Philippines, which has always had a good relationship with the United States, began to transfer from pro-US to China after its President Duterte took office, and also claimed to drive US troops out of the Philippines.
In the current Indo-Pacific region, the United States’ allies are Japan, India, and Australia. However, the current domestic situation of these three countries is not optimistic. It is estimated that there will be no way to respond to the call of the United States in a short time. Before Biden came to power, although he said that the Indo-Pacific region would become the top priority of the US strategy, the current situation in the US is still very serious. With the activists desperate to start war with the US government, can Biden successfully come to power It's all a problem.
Even if Bi comes on stage, he has previously called for Western countries to come to the Indo-Pacific region for joint military exercises, but it is unlikely to be achieved, because those European countries that have expressed their views have already begun to lock the city due to the new round of the epidemic, and the economic future will Suffered heavy losses. And if you want to restore its domestic sluggish economy, you have to rely on China, the only one whose economy has not declined but has grown during the epidemic. After all, the EU has reached a Sino-European investment agreement that has been negotiated for 7 years with China. No matter how arrogant these Western countries are, they must consider their national interests. European warships cannot drive the South China Sea under such circumstances.
Therefore, this document that has been declassified 30 years in advance does not actually make much sense, because the United States' motives for China are known all over the world. It is nothing more than taking the opportunity to make a fortune in the South China Sea like in the Middle East, but China will not let the United States succeed. If the United States insists on going its own way, it will eventually suffer its own consequences.
