As China's military strength increases, when the US military evaluates the confrontation with the Chinese military, its anxiety gradually increases and its self-confidence becomes increasingly insufficient. According to media quoted US Army Chief of Staff McConville as saying that if the US military conducts an expedition, logistics will become a weak link. According to the concept of "center of gravity" proposed by military theorists, in order to win the war, it is often necessary to strike the enemy's source of strength, that is, logistics supply.
U.S. military believes that there are doubts about the logistics supply capacity of the U.S. military. If military operations are carried out far away from the U.S. mainland, especially in the Western Pacific, attacking U.S. aircraft carrier and oil tankers will become part of China's military strategy. The People's Liberation Army may use this method to separate and annihilate the US military, destroy different formations, and ultimately achieve the goal of defeating the US military. McConville pointed out that even if China's military strength is not as good as the United States, they can win.
This is not the first time that the US military has doubts about the capabilities of the US military. O'Brien, a US national security adviser during the Trump period, also had similar concerns. He clearly pointed out that only the US nuclear power and the actions of the Marine Corps are efficient.
The US military, which has global strike capabilities, is now beginning to doubt its logistics capabilities, and even has to show its nuclear assets and the most elite strength to compete with it, which indirectly proves the strength of this "opponent". Why does the US military only mention China with so many countries along the Western Pacific coast? Because the Western Pacific is the region where military conflicts may occur after the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and there is a possibility of direct conflict between China and the United States in all three hot spots.
is first in the direction of the Korean Peninsula. Since the beginning of this year, tensions on the Korean Peninsula have suddenly escalated. The United States, Japan and South Korea have stimulated North Korea through various military exercises. North Korea has also responded to military operations such as test-firing of missiles, dispatching fighter jets, and launching artillery . The latest North Korea test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile, claiming to answer the United States' head-on confrontation with a head-on confrontation.
followed by the Taiwan Strait direction. Since Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, tensions in the Taiwan Strait have not been effectively eased. Although high-level Chinese and US leaders are willing to cool down the situation in the Taiwan Strait and control differences between the two sides during the talks, the US has not fully abide by its commitments. Kirby, a strategic communication coordinator of the US Security Commission, declared high-profilely that , White House will support the visit of the new member of parliament and the speaker of the Speaker of Taiwan. In addition, the US may fully pass the so-called "Taiwan Policy Law" in the future, and the risk of potential conflicts in the Taiwan Strait exists.
Finally, there is also the Nanhai problem. Although countries around the South China Sea are basically willing to integrate into the overall development situation dominated by China and are willing to resolve disputes peacefully through negotiation and consultation, under the instigation of the United States, Philippines has become a discord factor in creating the South China Sea dispute. For example, the Philippines did not get China's permission and tried to tow away Chinese rocket wrecks in the territorial waters of China's islands. Without achieving its goal, it exaggerated the enforcement of the Chinese coast guard ship , and portrayed itself as a "victim". After China disclosed the truth, the Philippines did not give up and launched a diplomatic note to China, attempting to amplify the trivial matters and deliberately create conflicts.
These three directions are obviously closely related to China's interests, and are also the key deployment areas for the US military forces. China has no intention of conflict with the US in any direction, but the US has included China in the threat scope. In the Western Pacific exercises with allies, tens of thousands of soldiers participated in the exercises, dispatched hundreds of military aircraft, dozens of warships, and even used strategic bomber , which had nuclear strike capabilities. The target was only targeted at North Korea, which was unbelievable. In addition, the US military is spending huge sums of money to build new military facilities in the Philippines, and it goes without saying who it is aimed at.
Whether the US military dispatches strategic bombers to North Korea to "use nuclear-controlled" nuclear weapons, or follows the model of supporting Ukraine, providing military assistance to the Taiwan authorities, or building military and warehousing facilities in the Philippines, the core is inseparable from logistical support. Once conflicts occur in hot spots, the US military's concerns are reasonable.The key is that the possibility of a direct conflict between China and the United States is slim, and the US military may not dare to use "efficient" nuclear power, which is tantamount to self-destruction. Therefore, the US military exaggerates external threats and exposes its shortcomings, which may be reminding Congress that it is time to make money.
