Without the word "China", the senior U.S. officials can't do anything. Look, recently, the US Space Force Lieutenant General and the US Air Force four-star Lieutenant General have taken turns to take turns to take action. One said that the United States’ primary challenge is China, and the other said that China’s nuclear capabilities need to be re-evaluated. Now, Lieutenant General Thomas, the commander of the Seventh Fleet of the United States, is also here to join in the fun. According to relevant reports, it is known that in an interview with " Wall Street Journal ", it said that the People's Liberation Army has a huge navy and they are fully capable of blocking the Taiwan Strait.
Ltd. General Thomas believes that China has the largest navy in the world and is building naval ships at an impressive speed. Although the United States has more advanced warship , which has a better quality advantage, there are no more shipyards producing the naval ships they need. However, when talking about the visit to Taiwan by Pelosi, Lieutenant General Thomas said that the decision was made by "high-level officials" because officials in Washington are not sure how China will respond. However, after the visit, China dispatched fighter planes and ships within one day and launched the missile over the Taiwan Sea, which was irresponsible.
It is worth noting that Lieutenant General Thomas believes that China's recent actions on the Taiwan Strait issue are actually an extension of the mentality of "power is truth". Not only that, Thomas also believes that this mentality has been expressed during China's militarization process in the South China Sea. To put it more specifically, China's expansionary sovereignty claims in the South China Sea overlap with the sovereignty claims claimed by other countries in the region, and over the past decade, China has also built artificial island in these waters, and equipped these outposts with military infrastructure and equipment. In addition, Thomas also said that the People's Liberation Army built bunkers on these islands to provide fuel storage capacity and the ability to accommodate troops, equipped with missiles, radar , and sensors, which promoted the complete militarization of these islands. How to say
? Lieutenant General Thomas said so much, but he said two things. One is that the Chinese Navy is developing rapidly and now has the ability to block the Taiwan Strait. Another thing is that the People's Liberation Army has shown the mentality of "power is truth". But anyone with discerning eyes understands that what Lieutenant General Thomas said is actually exaggerating the so-called "China threat theory". Given that more than one US officer mentioned the development of China's weapons and equipment, the commander of the US Seventh Fleet, Lieutenant General, directly took the situation in the Taiwan Strait and the situation in the South China Sea and , and the situation in the South China Sea, to China. Isn't this big hat of "militarization of the South China Sea" to China? Isn't it that China has "expansion protection"?
But just a mouth that reverses right and wrong cannot shake the truth at all. It is not others who have this mentality of "power is truth", but it is the United States. First, the world map is very clear. The United States is in , North America, and not the Western Pacific, but the United States often sends warships and military aircraft to the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait to carry out the so-called "free navigation". More importantly, the US military must join forces with its allies to "show off its muscles" at the doorstep of China. Secondly, whether it is the situation in the Taiwan Strait or the South China Sea, when the situation is tense, there are all the American moves in it. But the Taiwan Strait issue is originally China's housework, and the South China Sea Nine-Dash Line is clearly divided. What is the peace of mind for the United States to disrupt the regional situation so much? By the way, the American Foreign Affairs Magazine recently published an article, giving the results of phased deductions about the conflict in the Taiwan Strait, and many US think tanks have also offered 4 suggestions to the United States.
So overall, what this Lieutenant General Thomas should realize is that the United States runs to other people's doorsteps every day, rather than saying that China has the mentality of "power is truth". Of course, Thomas said nothing wrong. The People's Liberation Army quickly militarized and already had the ability to block the Taiwan Strait, and there are also factors that are pressing step by step by step.
