China and the United States will not go to war, but they still need to prepare for war with the US military!
1: The attitude of high-level officials in the United States has been unified
The United States once had three major strategic rivals
Iraq has long since fallen
From 1990 to 2015, American elites believed that the United States was facing two major troubles, namely North Korea and Iraq. In 2003, the United States launched an offensive against The war in Iraq brought the Middle East military power Iraq down from its altar. Iraq has since lost its status as the third largest military power. The strongman in the Middle East, Iraq's supreme leader Saddam Hussein, was also sent to the gallows.
This action of the United States has greatly shocked the Islamic world in the Middle East. It can be said that the terrorists in the Middle East are not unrelated to the barbaric acts of the United States in the Middle East.
The "Hwasong 15" intercontinental missile equipped by North Korea's missile force can already hit the United States.
North Korea makes the United States uneasy.
North Korea has always been a "hard target." North Korea seeks a sense of security for itself through nuclear tests and the development of ballistic missiles. As long as the United States moves Out of curiosity, North Korea claimed that it would turn Seoul into a sea of fire as soon as possible, and also claimed that the United States was also within the strike radius of North Korea's missile .
It can be said that North Korea’s behavior has touched the bottom line of the United States. However, North Korea's geographical location is very special, and the United States has never dared to be too presumptuous.
Russia - a skinny camel is bigger than a horse
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union , Russia has been "licking its wounds" to heal, the polar bear has lost its former prestige. But after all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Russia took advantage of the sharp rise in oil prices to slow down.

The United States wants to drive Russia away
Although Russia tried its best to shrink the front line to gain a breathing space, the United States did not let go. Russia is no longer as powerful as before, so Russia can only vigorously develop nuclear submarines , intercontinental missiles and other major power weapons in order to protect itself.
Russia has been stuck
Russia has told the United States and NATO through the Russo-Georgian War and the Russo-Ukrainian War that Russia's bottom line cannot be trampled. The Russo-Ukrainian War also made the world understand that even though Russia today has reached the extreme level of decadence, it still will not sit still and die.
The strategic focus of the United States has long since shifted. In Europe, as long as NATO blocks Russia's neck, the polar bears cannot make any big noise. Therefore, the United States can free up its hands to deal with the Asia-Pacific region.
Former US President Obama
Who is the next opponent—China?
Clinton and Bush began the global adjustment of the US strategy, preparing to shift the focus to the Asia-Pacific direction. Obama truly realized the "long-cherished wish" of the first two US presidents. He proposed a "pivot to Asia" and a "rebalancing strategy to the Asia-Pacific." There is no doubt that the Obama administration began to target China.
Trump is very "pragmatic"
Trump actively promotes the implementation of the "Indo-Pacific Strategy" and requires the United States to increase military and political cooperation with allies in the Indo-Pacific region to ensure the international order in the Indo-Pacific region. Compared with Obama's "Indo-Pacific Strategy" Too much rebalancing strategy”, Trump’s appetite is even greater.

The United States has completed its strategic shift
The one who truly implements the "Indo-Pacific" strategy is the current US President Biden . Biden's methods are more insidious. The situation of "casting a global net" has truly begun to regard China as a major competitor.
The military deployment of the US military has accelerated at an unprecedented pace. It first withdrew its troops from Iraq to shrink its troops, and then increased the number and level of equipment of the US military in Japan and Guam . Is the wolf really coming?
2 How does the United States view China
The United States is looking for a rival again
Generally speaking, the United States believes that China’s strength has threatened the United States’ global order. They believe that China will soon replace the United States as the world’s largest economy. China’s industries The scale has far exceeded that of Japan and Germany. What makes them even more uneasy is that China is still undergoing industrial upgrading. This is equivalent to touching the cheese of the United States.

The only thing the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have in common is anti-China
The U.S. Democratic Party and the Republican Party have reached an agreement that the modernization level of the Chinese military has gone beyond self-defense. This is really a gangster logic that only allows state officials to set fires but does not allow people to light lamps. The military strength of the United States far exceeds that of China. Why does the United States not say that it is a threat to the world? Why is it the American military that initiates the most wars?
What are the opinions of American scholars?
Some American scholars believe that the United States' preparations have exceeded the normal level. However, this view is the opinion of scholars who study Sino-US relations. is not the opinion of the US Congress. The representative figure is Ganesh Sitharaman, a professor at Vanderbilt University in the United States. It can be seen that the US government has no longer listened to the opinions of experts.
U.S. Secretary of State Blinken is a typical hard-liner on China
Some senior U.S. officials believe that competition between major powers is relatively normal, including in the economic, military and political fields. However, these people have been pushed to the margins by hardliners and cannot represent the official opinions of the United States.
China hard-liners have become the mainstream
China hard-liners in the U.S. Congress and hawks in the military have gained the absolute upper hand, including U.S. Secretary of State Blinken and Indo-Pacific Command Commander John Aquilino, who advocate We must continue to strengthen the dominant position of the US military and ensure that it has absolute military power to deter China. Generally speaking, the US government has regarded China as an all-round opponent.
3 The U.S. military has taken action.
The United States wants to exert pressure through exercises.
The United States first gradually increased its military exercises in the Asia-Pacific region, hoping to let China see the strength of the United States through military exercises and force China to make concessions on key issues. The United States has bilateral military exercise plans with Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asian countries, and India, but the largest one is the "Rim-Pacific Military Exercise" involving multiple parties.
2018 The U.S. military and its allies pose for photos at sea after the 2018 RIM-Pacific military exercise.
2022 "Rim-Pacific military exercise"
On June 29, the RIM-Pacific military exercise is about to kick off. The United States has gathered 26 countries this time, including three categories of countries. , one is the four pillars of the US "Indo-Pacific Strategy": Japan, the United States, Australia, and India, and the other is the relatives of the Anglo-Saxon nation, such as the United Kingdom. Third, neighboring countries in the South China Sea will also participate in the exercise, which is huge.
The scale of the exercise is unprecedented
The scale of this military exercise will greatly exceed the 2020 RIM-Pacific military exercise. The U.S. Indo-Pacific Command will dispatch the main force of the 3rd Fleet and the 7th Fleet to participate. The "Izumo" of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force The USS quasi-aircraft carrier and the Korean Navy's "Marado" amphibious assault ship will participate in the military exercise. By then, multiple aircraft carriers and quasi-aircraft carriers from the United States and its allies will routinely "pose" at sea.
The destroyer USS Benford of the 15th Destroyer Squadron of the U.S. Navy entered the South China Sea this time. Enter East China Sea and Taiwan Strait for close reconnaissance.On June 27, the destroyer USS Benford (DDG-65) of the 15th Destroyer Squadron of the 7th Fleet entered the South China Sea from the Cape Verde waterway in the Philippines. The intensity of the US military's close reconnaissance was far greater than before.
The United States has increased its military deployment efforts.
More than 60% of the surface ships of the U.S. Navy have been deployed to the Asia-Pacific region. Take the 15th Destroyer Squadron stationed at Yokosuka Naval Port as an example. The squadron has equipped 7 "Arleigh Burke-class" ships. Guided missile destroyers, including 2 latest model "Burke-2A" guided missile destroyers.
The 5th aircraft carrier strike group to which the "Reagan" aircraft carrier belongs also includes three "Ticonderoga-class" guided missile cruisers. It is the aircraft carrier strike group with the largest number of cruisers in the US military. These two main forces alone have 10 10,000-ton warships.
The "Los Angeles" class attack nuclear submarines equipped by the 15th Submarine Squadron
U.S. military nuclear submarines often come to China for "walks"
The three "Los Angeles" class attack nuclear submarines of the 15th Submarine Squadron of the U.S. Navy stationed at Apra Naval Base are U.S. military The main undersea combat force deployed in the Western Pacific region. If a war breaks out, will also be supported by the 1st and 7th nuclear submarine squadrons (each with 8 attack nuclear submarines ).
These nuclear submarines are unwelcome "frequent visitors" to the South China Sea.

The United States is also wary of it
Because China has strong anti-access/area denial capabilities,the US military has adopted a front-light and rear-heavy approach in deploying its troops. method, After all, after 20 years of construction, the US military believes that the first island chain is the anti-ship fire strike area with the highest firepower density in the world. During wartime the first island chain would become a no-go zone for the US military.

How should China respond to threats
Come and go without being polite?
June 19, Chinese Navy guided missile destroyers102 "Lhasa Ship", 120 "Chengdu" ship, 794 electronic reconnaissance ship and Type 903A A naval ship formation composed of the comprehensive supply ship "Dongpinghu" ship circumnavigated Japan.
The formation entered the Sea of Japan through Tsushima Strait , and then sailed through Tsugaru Strait and Soya Strait to enter the Pacific, and then quickly headed south. The Chinese naval fleet circled Japan, which made the United States and Japan very embarrassed.
102 Large-scale destroyer crossed the island chain for the first time
This operation was the first time that the 10,000-ton large-scale destroyer 102 performed a combat readiness patrol mission. Since the United States can sail through the Taiwan Strait , we can also cross the waters near Japan's territorial waters. The United States and Japan must be allowed to fully feel the pressure from the Chinese military.
The 120 "Chengdu" ships participating in the voyage around Japan are from a certain destroyer of the Northern Theater Navy.
The Chinese military exercises must be tit-for-tat with the US military.
The Chinese military must strengthen the pertinence of military exercises. Military exercises are the most powerful deterrent to the enemy. It can allow the United States and Japan to see clearly the strength of the People's Liberation Army. In order not to intensify conflicts in previous exercises, we usually staggered the time and location with the US military exercises. But the deterrence effect produced by the exercise is slightly less.
As long as the United States holds military exercises around our sea and airspace, the People's Liberation Army will boldly move closer. As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, This is called treating others with their own methods.
The JH-7A fighter-bombers equipped by a brigade in the northern theater will be replaced with J-16 fighter jets in the future
We must prepare for a rainy day
We must also increase military deployment, especially in the eastern coastal areas. Take the northern theater as an example The main opponent of the naval and air force combat forces stationed in a certain peninsula in the northern theater is the US military stationed in South Korea. The aviation brigade has begun to replace the J-10C fighter jets, but there is no sign of replacing them with the fourth-generation stealth fighter jets.
In this direction, it is necessary to eliminate the backward JH-7A fighter jets as soon as possible and quickly replace them with J-16 and J-20 fighter jets with powerful comprehensive performance. The ground attack efficiency of the J-16 fighter is far greater than that of the JH-7A bomber. The J-20 fighter can ensure an absolute advantage over the US 7th Air Force in South Korea.
The first brigade of conventional missiles is still equipped with Dongfeng-15 missiles
The Rocket Force will also install new equipment
The Rocket Force troops in the eastern theater must speed up the replacement of Dongfeng-17 and Dongfeng-26 missiles , which will eventually form firepower In the strike pattern of echelon configuration, the first brigade of conventional missiles is still equipped with Dongfeng-15 series missiles. You can consider handing over DF-15 missiles to brother units and quickly replace them with Dongfeng-17 missiles , so that the missile brigade has the ability to attack stationed missiles. The combat capabilities of the Japanese and American troops.
History is not far away
China is a peace-loving country and will never take the initiative to invade other countries. However, if the United States dares to risk the disapproval of the world and hinder China from solving the Taiwan issue, the Chinese military will maintain the unity of the motherland at all costs. , China will not have any illusions about the United States.
Only 70 years have passed since the gunfire of Shangganling . I believe every American has deep memories.
