Hi, friends, hello everyone! Today is December 31, Thursday, the seventeenth of the winter month of the Gengzi Year. The burden-bearing year 2020 is about to pass, and the vigorous and hopeful year 2021 is striding forward.
On this special day of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, today's military is paying attention to a military message aimed at enhancing the awareness of anxiety and embracing peace-
wolf is here! US media: After Biden took office, Sino-US confrontation escalated, or war broke out in the South China Sea; the top commander of the US military said frankly: The United States has won many wars, but it must not fight with China. Do you believe this?
A few days ago, the US media Bloomberg specially published an article entitled "Trouble Waters: The United States and China May Conflict in the South China Sea", pouring cold water on Sino-US relations after Bi came to power, expressing very worried about the Sino-US warships. Miscalculations will trigger a wider military confrontation, and Sino-US relations will become more uncertain.
Military voice-over: war, no one wants to mention it, everyone wants to stay away from war, but since the day there was war, mankind has never really been far away from the haze of war. War is even like a monster. The more you fear it, the more it will come to you. Only by shouting "The wolf is coming" and believing in "The wolf is coming" and everyone shouting and fighting can we not be disturbed by war. What's more, the "wolf" has always been by our side and is staring at us-
1. The United States has already reached the consensus of "most people" to contain China. Biden is unable to change and does not want to change
According to US media reports on the 12th, this year's bill There are nearly 40 clauses involving or related to China, covering military, technology, academic, economic and trade and other fields, "reflecting the overall challenges posed by China." Since then, the very high rate of passage of the bill and the challenging nature of the Chinese clauses indicate that it is the consensus of “most people” that the United States contains China. After Biden came to power, compared with Trump’s extreme “face-tear” behavior. The methods will be different, but the intensity is not small at all.
As early as June 2020, on the eve of Biden’s formal lock-in of the presidential candidate, the Biden team stated that if Biden succeeds in assuming the presidency, he will inevitably adopt tougher measures against China than Trump, especially against China recently. Some of the policies, they will implement substantive sanctions.
Judging from the facts, both Biden of the Democratic Party and Trump of the Republican Party will issue a declaration of attitude towards China as a powerful weapon in running for president, and their attitude towards China is basically very unfriendly.
Some American media believe that, except for direct military conflicts, Trump has used almost all methods and methods to deal with China. Now, Biden has said that there will be tougher methods, so the more tough methods seem to include the military card.
2. The highest US military commander and chairman of the Joint Council: The United States has won many wars, but it must not fight China. This may be true, or more likely to be a lie
Chairman of the U.S. Joint Council of Staff Mark Milly
Reference News Network reported on December 29 that the US "National Interest" bimonthly website published on December 23, Brookings Institution Foreign Policy Program Director Michael O'Hanlon’s interview with Mark Milly, General of the US Army and the 20th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
In the interview, Mark Milli expressed his views on the complicated relationship between China, the United States and Russia. He said that the relationship between the United States and China and Russia will still be difficult and complex, but the United States will never go to war with China and Russia.
During the Trump administration, the US National Security Strategy Center focused on China and Russia. At the end of his term, former US Navy Admiral Dunford said in a warning tone: "China will soon become America’s number one threat. ". Mark Milly also said in this interview: "The threat China poses to us is increasing."
, 62 years old, has served in Afghanistan, , Iraq and other places. Since 2015, he has served as the United StatesChief of Army Staff. Milly was drafted into the army in 1980. During his long military career, he was sent to Panama, Colombia, Z1z Somalia, Z2z, Egypt, Haiti, Iraq and Afghanistan. During his tenure as Chief of Staff of the Army, Milli worked hard to rebuild a depleted force into a well-staffed, well-trained and fully equipped army.
Mark Milly often talks about China threats, especially recently. On December 4, Agence France-Presse reported that the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milly declared on the 3rd local time that if the US military wants to maintain its advantage over China, it needs to fully "embrace" robots (weapons) and artificial intelligence. . But the top U.S. military general also said, "I'm not saying that there will be war with China. I mean, we want to prevent war with China."
The top US general and chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff. This post was established in 1947. The highest-ranking military position in the US military is the chief military adviser to the US President and Secretary of Defense. On September 30, 2019, U.S. Army General Mark Milley became the 20th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the inauguration ceremony held in Arlington, Virginia.
Today, even though Milly says he does not want to go to war with China, he strives to build a smaller and more capable force and deploy long-range missiles more widely across Asia to contain America's number one opponent. This has to be taken seriously.
3. The United States is putting together the "Asian version of NATO". It is not groundless. It is clear where its sword refers; India and the Philippines should not be underestimated. More countries have absorbed in. This idea is called an "Asian version of NATO," and it is modeled after the transatlantic alliance that emerged to confront the Soviet bloc after World War II. Although
currently has only four members in the "Quadruple Security Dialogue". The United States, Australia, India, and Japan established the "Quadruple Security Dialogue", but they have gained a new life in recent years, and the intentions behind it are extremely dangerous.
Especially since this year, US warplanes and ships have approached and reconnaissance around me more than 2,000 times. Recently, India and Vietnam have held military exercises in the South China Sea. The invisible frigate "Kildan" of the Indian Navy arrived at Nha Rong Port in Ho Chi Minh City and held a sea pass exercise from December 26 to 27.
In recent years, the defense and security cooperation between India and Vietnam has increased rapidly, expanding and deepening in various fields and at multiple levels, and is gradually institutionalized and normalized. The raccoon in India and Vietnam is inseparable from the fanfare of the United States.
With the signing of the "Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement on Geospatial Cooperation" between India and the United States, the United States naturally hopes to use India in the Sino-US game to help it offset China's growing influence.
Of course, the South China Sea issue has always been the focus of frequent "hot searches" in Vietnam, but behind this is nothing but the careful layout of the United States. Vietnam's small actions in the South China Sea began to become frequent. According to statistics from relevant departments: From January 19 to 31, 34 Vietnamese fishing boats invaded the internal waters, territorial waters and exclusive economic zones of my country's Hainan Island . In February, 311 ships. In March, this number increased to 569...
Not only that, since March 30 this year, the Permanent Mission of Vietnam to the United Nations has submitted multiple notes to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, repeatedly declaring its illegal claims against the South China Sea, trying to deny it. China's sovereignty and rights in the South China Sea.
The Philippines swayed from side to side, and this year it has received US weapons and equipment twice. It was reported on December 8 that the United States had donated US$128 million worth of weapons to the Philippines, including sniper rifles, anti-IED (improved explosive device) equipment and a C-130 military transport aircraft. The US government also provided aid worth 1.1 billion pesos (approximately US$23.4 million) to the Philippines.
It is reported that so far, the Philippines is the country that has provided the most US military assistance in this region. Since 2015, the United States has delivered aircraft, ships, armored vehicles, small arms and other military equipment worth more than 33 billion pesos (about 650 million US dollars) to the Philippines.
At the end of November 2020, Philippine Secretary of Defense Lorenzana publicly stated that whether the Filipino people like it or not, once China and the United States shoot in the South China Sea, the Philippines will join the war.
Lorenzana, who is currently the Secretary of Defense of the Philippines, used to be an army general in the Philippines. The reason why he said this kind of gunpowder or to please the United States is precisely because the United States gave the Philippines to the Philippines including the "Scan Eagle". The aircraft includes weapons worth US$18 million, in addition to 100 "Tao-2" anti-tank missiles, 12 anti-tank missile launch systems, and 24 MK-82 aerial bombs.
Japan is "stealing pleasure". Who said Biden was happiest in winning the election, Japan can occupy a seat. Some analysts believe that even though Japan can pay a little less protection fee for Biden's coming to power, the price is to continue to serve as a vassal of the US global hegemony.
4. Biden nominates Anthony Brinken as Secretary of State . He once set up a company to study China. Is he a wolf or a sheep?
Antony Blinken, born in New York, USA in 1962, graduated from Harvard University, once engaged in legal affairs, and entered politics in the late 1980s. Born in a family of diplomats, his father served as the US ambassador to Hungary during the Clinton administration, and his uncle was the US ambassador to Belgium, and he served as the US Deputy Secretary of State. The secretary of state
is a senior official of the US State Department. According to U.S. law, the Secretary of State is the number one minister in the government, that is, the Chief Minister. At the same time, the Secretary of State is in charge of the Seal, and the President must submit his resignation to the Secretary of State to resign. This alone shows that the Secretary of State plays an extremely important role in the foreign and internal affairs of the United States. This can also be seen from the “clamour” of the current Secretary of State Pompeo and the world.
At present, the overall evaluation of Brinken from the outside world is that he is familiar with international affairs, but regards China as the "biggest challenge." During the Obama administration, Brinken served successively as Vice President Biden’s National Security Advisor and President Obama’s Deputy National Security Advisor, and became Deputy Secretary of State in January 2015. As a core member of Obama’s foreign policy team, Brinken played a role in major diplomatic events such as responding to the Crimea dispute, hunting down the leader of Al-Qaeda, bin Laden, fighting the “Islamic State”, and signing a nuclear agreement with Iran . Played an important role.
It is worth noting that after the Trump administration entered the White House in 2016, Blincoln founded a company. One of his main businesses is to "manage risks related to China in the era of strategic competition", for the management of American companies in the Chinese market. Activities provide strategic advice.
Reuters said on the 24th that in an interview with CBS in September this year, Brinken said bluntly, “China poses a growing challenge to us. It can be said that we are economically, technically, militaryly, and even Diplomacy is the biggest challenge from another country." In response to China, Brinken, like Biden, also advocated pressure through international mutual assistance.
According to another source, Brinken’s 20-year close relationship with Biden also means that he may become a secretary of state who can have a greater influence on the president’s decision.
Conclusion: There is an old adage at that says, if you want peace, you must be prepared for war. "If you can fight, you can stop the fight. Only when you are ready to fight, you may not have to fight. The less you can fight, the more likely you are to be beaten." This is the dialectic of war and peace.
Ancient and modern, at home and abroad, "no war" cannot be based on "be able to fight". During the Warring States Period, the Chu State built a ladder to attack the Song State, Mozi disbanded the city, used the reincarnation as a weapon, and deduced nine major defeats, forcing the King of Chu to give up his plot to attack Song.
Comrade Mao Zedong said that the fight is for peace. New China’s security is achieved. Our military learns from warfare, improves its capabilities from actual combat, and advances in a battle. The more it fights, the stronger its capabilities, the prestige of the country, and the peaceful environment for decades. Nowadays, for many years without war and lack of actual combat test, our ability to stop war by war is challenged.
For war, I would ratherBelieve in what is there, not believe what is not; when the wolf comes, you must practice a hard iron fist and always hold the wolf club high in order to truly stay away from war. We do not live in a peaceful world, but are fortunate to live in a peaceful China. This kind of peace requires keeping an eye on "The Wolf is Coming." Only in times of danger, the bell of the New Year can ring forever in the years of peace. May every one of you, safe years and happy new year!
