According to news from the South China Morning Post on June 28, the U.S. Naval Research Institute recently published an article stating that in order to respond to China's "military threat" and intimidate mainland China not to "use force" against Taiwan, the U.S. Navy should conduct military operations in China's Yellow Sea and Offensive mines are used in the Pearl River Delta. The author of the article is U.S. Navy Commander Duno, who disclosed in detail the U.S. Navy’s “mine warfare” plan against China.

Duno said that as the military strength gap between China and the United States is narrowing, China has also gained advantages in some areas. The US military may face obvious disadvantages when facing the People's Liberation Army, and the use of offensive mines has many benefits. First of all, the cost of mines is low, the US military can deploy it in large numbers, and the operation is not complicated. Secondly, mines can disrupt China's maritime trade and cause a devastating blow to the Chinese economy. Finally, this is an important way to compete with the People's Liberation Army for sea control, which can buy the US military more time to build high-end combat capabilities against China.

Duno pointed out that the method of deploying mines is very simple. Robot submarines equipped with sensors are placed in designated sea areas. After receiving instructions, these submarines can launch homing torpedoes to complete automatic deployment. Duno emphasized that the deployment of offensive mines is not to capture military tactical targets, but to force the Chinese government to return to the negotiating table after damaging the Chinese economy.

This absurd article actually appeared in an authoritative American magazine, and won the first prize in the mine warfare essay competition selected by the magazine. It really added a lot of humor. As a commander of the U.S. Navy, Duno gave full play to it. It captured the imagination of Americans in making science fiction movies and turned actual combat simulations into American "win-the-pot" style war blockbusters.

Some military experts said that if the U.S. Navy implements this plan, the threat to military ships will be very small, and the main victims will be civilian ships. This shameless approach clearly violates international law , and the People's Liberation Army has many ways to counterattack the U.S. In addition to using conventional demining methods, the People's Liberation Army has formulated plans to prevent other countries from sneaking into surrounding waters to mine mines. In addition, Jiefang has the capability of ocean warfare, and ships going to the United States must pass through waterways to lay mines, which is also a possible option.

On the eve of the NATO summit, the United States issued such a specific military threat to China in the name of its naval commander, which was both hype and pressure. Although the current NATO member states have not given a complete and clear statement on their relations with China, and there are obvious differences within NATO on the issue of China, it is certain that NATO has regarded China as a "systemic challenge" and "Strategic rivals" have begun to lay out a military containment strategy against China.

What is different from previous NATO summits is that Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand four Asia-Pacific countries and non-NATO members participated in the meeting in a high-profile manner for the first time, sending a strong signal that NATO and the United States' Asia-Pacific allies jointly contain China. According to Japanese media reports, Fumio Kishida will express to NATO the country’s determination to strengthen its defense capabilities in response to China’s “dangerous” behavior of unilaterally changing the status quo on the East China Sea and Taiwan issues.

South Korean President Yoon Seok-yue Although South Korea has repeatedly stated that South Korea’s participation in the NATO summit does not mean that it is anti-China and that it is willing to establish an equal and mutually beneficial relationship with China, South Korea has shown no signs of concessions on sensitive issues such as the deployment of THAAD missiles and participated in the NATO summit. Content seeking support for economic security will inevitably involve anti-China issues. As members of the " Five Eyes Alliance ", New Zealand and Australia can be said to be veterans in manipulating anti-China issues. The United States has brought Australia and New Zealand into NATO as an attempt to explore the linkage between the "Indo-Pacific Strategy" and the NATO military framework. .

Whether it is the threat of "torpedo warfare" from the US Navy's tactical level or NATO's strategic military deterrence, they all reveal the fact that in the future, the United States will use all feasible means to exert military pressure on China and test China's bottom line.What China has to do is to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing situations, make the right decisions at the right time, not take the initiative to cause conflicts, but it is not afraid of conflicts, never give in and decisively fight back on issues involving the country's core interests.
