The United States' 2023 " National Defense Authorization Act " has many provisions involving the Taiwan Strait. According to information released by the United States, at least 50 pages of content are related to Taiwan. The United States' "National Defense Authorization Act" has become a domestic law in the United States that supports Taiwan. After both houses of the U.S. Congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act, U.S. President Biden has officially signed and approved the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act on December 24. There is quite a pace for a showdown. In the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act, there is a provision for the United States to provide Taiwan with US$10 billion in military aid. The United States has once again hollowed out the "one-China principle" and directly provided US$10 billion in military aid to Taiwan. This is an unprecedented change.
The U.S. Congress passed content that supports Taiwan by bundling the National Defense Authorization Act. This is the result of the long-term promotion of Taiwan's so-called "congressional diplomacy" and is also a concentrated expression of the strategy of the hawks in the U.S. Congress to contain and contain China. The U.S. Biden administration and the U.S. Congress are consistent on the issue of playing the "Taiwan Island Card." To this end, U.S. President Biden directly approved the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act, thus providing a new basis for arming Taiwan. The United States plans to provide Taiwan with US$10 billion in funds within five years, which can be used for Taiwan to purchase weapons and equipment from the United States. In fact, this is a trick by the United States to force Taiwan to purchase American weapons and equipment.
Just when the U.S. legislation was upheld and U.S. President Biden was about to show off, the U.S. media issued a warning. According to an article published by the U.S. media "Politician" on December 28, it was too late for the U.S. military to expand its frontier presence. Since 2010, the United States has had the so-called "return to the Asia-Pacific" strategy, and now it is the so-called " Indo-Pacific strategy ". In fact, no matter what the name is, the essence is to contain and contain China. When the United States was promoting the so-called "Indo-Pacific Strategy," it deployed military power at China's doorstep, including regular combat patrol missions with aircraft carrier strike groups.
According to information obtained by Aviation Vision, the US Navy currently has the CVN68 Nimitz aircraft carrier and the LHD8 Makin Island amphibious assault ship strike group on combat cruises in the Asia-Pacific region. Among them, the Nimitz is operating in the waters near Guam, and the Makin Island amphibious assault ship has broken into the South China Sea. At the same time, a San Antonio-class amphibious assault dock landing ship is accompanying the operation. The U.S. military not only has two large maritime strike groups for deterrence operations at China's doorstep, but also deployed F-35A Lightning II fighter jets and F-22A Raptor fighter jets in Japan and Ryukyu, thereby improving the U.S. military's combat readiness level in the Asia-Pacific region. However, this is the "wishful thinking" of the U.S. Pentagon.
The American "Politician" pointedly pointed out that the People's Liberation Army's sea and air superiority in the Asia-Pacific region prevents the US military's forward-deployed military forces from forming an advantage. At the same time, the People's Liberation Army's strength can also delay the military aid projects provided by the United States to Taiwan. 202212334/Aviation Vision/AZ. Recently, the People’s Liberation Army used the Liaoning aircraft carrier strike group to block the path of the USS CVN68 aircraft carrier Nimitz. This is because the People’s Liberation Army aircraft carrier group has been cruising in the waters near Guam in the United States. This also confirms the concerns of the US media. It is too late for the United States to expand forward deployment in the Asia-Pacific region, and the People’s Liberation Army already has sufficient advantages.
