China's coastal areas are in a huge encirclement:
Once upon a time, Britain sent a powerful naval fleet to blockade Pearl River Delta , attacked Guangzhou, and went north along the coastline to invade China.
In that year, the Eight-Nation Alliance landed from Tanggu, and the maritime barrier formed by Liaodong Peninsula and Shandong Peninsula did not play a role at all, and the gateway of North China in China was opened.
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Japan landed on a large scale in Hangzhou Bay, and the central China and the Yangtze River hinterland fell one after another. It can be said that Western powers regarded China as the fat meat in their mouths.
Today, China has become the world's second largest economy, and its economy is not bad. Some developed countries led by the United States still have no idea of using force to force China to submit.
The former "Eight-Nation Alliance" has evolved into a military alliance led by the United States. Not only did the United States send combat ships to patrol offshore China, but Canada, Australia and other countries have also sent combat ships to the waters around China.
But do they still have the courage to do it today?
1: China's military strength is not the same as before
Back then, the Qing government also wanted to establish a strong naval force and spent huge amounts of money to purchase 8 ironclad ships and cruiser from Britain and Germany.
From paper, the Beiyang Navy at that time claimed to be the number one in Asia, but was severely damaged by the Japanese Navy and was eventually wiped out.
" Zhenyuan Ship " was captured by the Japanese army. Until today, the main anchor of the "Zhenyuan Ship" has been publicly displayed by Japan as a spoil.
is simply a shame!
At that time, the navy of the Republic of China was unable to stop the Japanese's iron hooves. , tens of thousands of tons, warship could only fight the invaders with the tragic tragedy of sinking rivers to block the Yangtze River waterway.
Today, Chinese Navy has become the world's second largest maritime force. On October 28, the third amphibious assault ship "Anhui Ship" has left the shipyard dock and is preparing to go to the dock of the naval force station.
"Anhui Ship" and the 003 aircraft carrier "Fujian Ship" that are being installed in the same frame for the first time. The displacement of only two large ships has exceeded 120,000 tons, exceeding the total tonnage of naval ships of more than 80% of the countries.
Now the total tonnage of China's navy has exceeded 2 million tons, 5 times that of Japan and 10 times that of Australia. China has never had such strong maritime strength.
Now, the Chinese Navy has 14 combat ships and landing ships with more than 20,000 tons, ranking second in the world, second only to the US Navy.
The number of conventional submarines in China's Navy exceeds the sum of the ten countries in the South China Sea, and the number of missile destroyers exceeds the total number of East Asian countries. The most important thing is: the main battleships of the Chinese Navy have achieved 100% domestic production.
The number of naval ships is no longer dependent on the shipyard's production capacity, but on the needs of the Chinese Navy. Now, dozens of combat ships, submarines and service support ships are under construction.
The strength of the Chinese Navy will be even stronger in the future. The PLA Navy is able to complete combat missions of maritime blockade, deterrence, long-range strikes and protection of traffic lines.
has the ability to protect the absolute security of China's territorial waters, and a small number of Western countries led by the United States do not have the courage to face the strong strength of the Chinese navy.
During the exercise in August, facing the powerful deterrence of the People's Liberation Army Navy, the US Navy's arrogant "Reagan" aircraft carrier slipped away in shame.
The strength of the Chinese Air Force also has the ability to make the United States and its allies have no courage to fight against China, and the comparison of China's strength with neighboring countries has also reversed.
In the 1980s, after Japan obtained the U.S. F-15J fighter , it became the most powerful air force in Asia-Pacific region except the United States. The AN/APG-63 radar equipped with the
F-15J fighter aircraft detection distance of the fighter target is as high as 130 kilometers, which has an absolute advantage over the J7 and J8 fighter aircraft equipped by our army at that time.
It was not until the J11B fighter equipped with 1474 fire control radar and Pili-12 air-to-air missiles were set to equip the troops, and the comparison of air strength between China and Japan was tilted to the side that was beneficial to China.
And this is the event that F-15J has equipped the Japanese Air Guard for 20 years. Thanks to its relationship with the United States, the important air forces in the Asia-Pacific region such as the South Korean Air Force, Australian Air Force, , and other important air forces in the Asia-Pacific region surpass the Chinese Air Force in terms of equipment strength.
Maybe they would not have thought that the progress of the Chinese Air Force would be so great. The number of fifth-generation stealth fighters in the Chinese Air Force exceeded the sum of other Asian countries, and it is very likely that it has exceeded 150.
In terms of fourth-generation and a half fighter jets, the Chinese Air Force has nearly 300 J-16s, more than 300 J-10B/C, and 24 Su-35s, with a total number approaching 700.
According to foreign media reports, the Chinese Air Force is also upgrading the early J11B fighter jets. After the upgrade of , the J11B fighter jets have the launch capability of Pili-15 medium- and long-range air-to-air missile , which can fight against four and a half generations of fighters from neighboring countries.
It took only twenty years for the Chinese Air Force to achieve the leap from second-generation aircraft to fourth-generation aircraft. Some people say: When the Chinese Air Force used the J-7, Japan was using the F-15, and when the Chinese Air Force changed to J-10, Japan was using the F-15. When we changed to J-20, Japan was still using the F-15.
It can be seen that China's rapid development of military strength has made potential opponents very uncomfortable, and no country has the courage to launch a military strike against China alone.
2: We must be vigilant
Now, Western countries led by the United States believe that China's rise has moved their cake, and that the power of one country can no longer convince China. They want to use the strength of the entire capitalist country to force China to make concessions.
In recent years, Western countries have been getting further and further on the road of military alliance. On the one hand, the United States has increased its military deployment in its allies. In recent times, the United States has considered replacing the F-15C fighter deployed at the door of China with F-35 or F-22 stealth fighter . If
is true, this will cause serious damage to China's national security.
The United States has also enhanced its ability to respond to common military threats by strengthening military cooperation with its allies. The United States, Australia, Japan and South Korea regularly hold large-scale naval and air military exercises.
In fact, they are originally American allies, and military exercises are an important way to test the joint combat strength of the US allies' military. They will definitely continue to increase the intensity of the exercises.
As a rising power, it will be subject to pressure from all sides. This will not be diverted by our will. There has always been our goal.
But even if there is a situation that we are unwilling to face, we don’t have to worry. The People’s Liberation Army has the strength to safeguard national dignity and territorial integrity, and no country has the courage to actively attack the 2 million People’s Liberation Army.
