The US website of "1945" which has long been paying attention to China's military development has published a statement saying that the US military strength is weakening, and China's military strength is rising rapidly. In order to curb China's development as much as possible, the United States needs to continue to sell advanced weapons and equipment to Taiwan, but also deploy the US military closer to Taiwan to cope with China's unification.
US media reported that more and more senior US military generals have warned about the rapid development of China's military strength, calling on the United States to take decisive response measures. Last week, Charles A. Richard, commander of the U.S. Strategic Command, , and Admiral , made a bleak assessment of the United States' ability to deter China in the recent military. He compared the U.S.'s deterrence ability against China to a ship, which is slowly sinking, and said that China can quickly invest combat resources on the battlefield. In addition to having some advantages in individual military equipment, the United States lags far behind China in terms of rapid delivery capabilities and logistical support and support capabilities.
US media reported that the United States' conventional deterrence capability is rapidly declining, and the reason for this situation is that the US military lacks sufficient financial support. Due to the lack of sufficient funds, the main combat equipment of all branches of the US military has seriously aged, the scale of the US navy, army and air force is gradually shrinking, and the training level of the US military has also declined, resulting in insufficient combat capabilities of the US military and its modernization speed lags behind the PLA.
US media pointed out that the average age of US Air Force combat aircraft has reached 29 years old, and most of them are on the verge of retirement. The scale of the US Navy's ship will be reduced to 280 ships in 2037, and the size of the army is also shrinking year by year. The recruitment rate of recruitment rate last year is 25%. These phenomena have caused the United States' conventional deterrence ability to China to decline rapidly.
The rapid decline in the conventional deterrence capability of the US military is based on the rapid improvement of China's military's strength, and the decline and increase further highlights the weakness of the US military.近十年内来，解放军海军接收了2艘航空母舰，33艘052D、055驱逐舰以及上百艘054A、056护卫舰，整体规模超过了美国海军；解放军空军也接收了300架歼-16、300架歼-10C以及近200架歼-20战机，先进战机的平均机龄不足10岁，总数量也超过了美国空军；解放军陆军在军改后也逐步完成了合成化、机械化，正在向信息化迈进。 The thriving People's Liberation Army formed a sharp contrast with the aging equipment and shrinking US military, and the United States realized that it needed to take necessary actions to curb the rapid development of China's military.
However, some senior generals of the US military said that when the US military realized the huge danger and prepared to take action, it was too late, and China did not give the United States time to recover.
US media pointed out that against the backdrop of the rapid growth of the People's Liberation Army's strength, mainland China's ability to unify Taiwan is rapidly increasing. For this reason, the US Pentagon has abandoned the "strategic ambiguity" strategy and it will be a matter of time sooner or later to use force to prevent China's reunification. To this end, the United States needs to take four measures to prepare for all obstacles.
First, the United States needs to increase its investment in conventional arms, purchase more advanced destroyers , attack nuclear submarine , and precisely guided munitions to enhance its ability to win large-scale conventional wars.
Second, the US military needs to dispatch more combat forces to Asia-Pacific , so that can effectively make corresponding deployments according to changes in the situation in the Indo-Pacific region. To this end, the US Army should rebuild its two island combat clusters, and the Marine Corps should also be deployed to the first island chain . The closer it is to Taiwan, the better, so that the US military can respond to the situation in the Taiwan Strait to the greatest extent.
3, the United States should produce and reserve more ammunition, especially to increase the reserve of LRASM long-range anti-ship missiles, so that it can destroy the PLA's landing fleet outside the defense zone and prevent China's unified action.
Fourth, the United States needs to learn from Ukraine's lessons and need to sell more advanced weapon systems to Taiwan in advance, turn Taiwan into a "porcupine" and enhance the Taiwan military's ability to deal with the People's Liberation Army.
From the publication of US media, it can be seen that in the context of the rise and fall of China's military strength, Taiwan has become the only bargaining for the United States to contain and consume China, and for this reason the US military will surely become a huge obstacle to China's unification. Realizing the complete reunification of the motherland is the common wish of all Chinese people. In order to achieve this goal, we will spare no expense. However, for the United States, Taiwan is just a piece of chess piece to contain China, and will not fight China to the death for this piece.
From the perspective of strength, we are more capable of achieving complete reunification of the motherland than at any time in history. Even if the United States takes the above four measures, it cannot stop China's reunification. my country's military modernization process in the past 30 years has been focusing on the core capability of anti-intervention/regional denial. It has fully grasped the air superiority and sea rights within the first island chain, and the radiation power has been expanded to second island chain, . Under the existing conditions, it will be difficult for the United States to change its strategic disadvantages in the Taiwan Strait region. Even if the US military deploys its troops to islands such as Yunaguo Island, which is very close to Taiwan, it cannot change the fate of being hit by the People's Liberation Army's joint firepower. It can be said that the closer the US military is to Taiwan, the faster it will be destroyed.
Here I would like to advise the United States, Taiwan issue is China's internal affairs problem, and it needs to be solved by the Chinese people themselves. China's housework is not the turn of the United States to interfere. If the United States chooses to fight with China on the Taiwan issue, the People's Liberation Army will surely destroy the US military in the Western Pacific in a short period of time. This will not only cause the United States to lose its position as military hegemony, but the United States will also decline as a result.
