US media: There are three reasons for the escalation of Sino-US confrontation or war in the South China Sea after Biden took office.

A few days ago, the US media Bloomberg published an article titled "Trouble Waters: The United States and China May Conflict in the South China Sea", pouring cold water on the Sino-US relations after Biden 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. In fact, no matter who the United States is president and the United States returns to Asia, the Indo-Pacific strategy to contain China will not change. There are three reasons why the Biden administration wants to continue to contain China. If we see these reasons thoroughly, we will persist in "letting go of our illusions and preparing for battle", do our own thing further, and safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests with firm determination and strong strength.

1. Z1z Trump has accelerated the established strategy of the United States. Biden cannot and does not want to change

. Whether it is the Republican Party or the Democrat , they are consistent in their strategy to contain China. On December 11, the U.S. Senate passed the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2021 with 84 votes in favor and 13 against. The bill was passed in the House of Representatives last Tuesday. According to reports, the National Defense Authorization Act, , aims to formulate a national defense budget. It is one of the few bills that the US Congress must pass every year. Therefore, it has also become a tool for carrying various policy measures. "Voice of America" ​​reported on the 12th that this year's bill contains nearly 40 provisions involving or related to China, covering military, technology, academic, economic and trade and other fields, and "reflects the overall challenges posed by China." Since then, the very high passing rate 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 behaviors, there will be ways and means The difference, but the intensity is not small at all.

2. Biden’s attitude towards the use of key personnel is very clear. The South China Sea will be the collision point between China and the United States.

At present, Biden has basically completed the appointment of new cabinet officials and has selected Jack Sullivan as his national security adviser. . The article stated that President Trump's administration has increased the number of "free navigation" operations in the South China Sea, and Biden seems to be prepared to maintain or even expand the number of US freedom of navigation operations worldwide. Sullivan said in the "China Dialogue" podcast hosted by Jordan Schneider, an associate researcher at the Washington Post: "We should invest more assets and resources, and work with our partners to support freedom of navigation in the South China Sea." In recent years, the U.S. military has failed to prevent China from building artificial islands and reefs in the South China Sea and curb China's militarization. The Sullivan people deeply regret. In his recent speech, he promised to the outside world: "In the future, it is necessary for the U.S. military to highlight its military presence in the South China Sea. The most important thing at the moment is to increase the frequency of U.S. military aircraft and warships visiting the South China Sea and fully exercise its'right of free navigation' ( Freedom of navigation operations).

3. U.S. allies, Britain, France, etc., have already determined the action plan to dye the guide sea. France also threatened to go to Japan's coastal waters, and clearly announced to China, in an attempt to curb actions to safeguard maritime sovereignty, security and development interests. Kyodo News quoted several government officials in Japan on December 5 as saying that the British navy would be the soonest next year. Initially dispatched aircraft carriers to the Western Pacific around the South Western Islands, including , Okinawa Prefecture, and . Although the British aircraft carrier "Queen Elizabeth" ran to the Asia-Pacific region as soon as it was deployed, and assembled an aircraft carrier formation to show off its strength. The signs of joining forces with the U.S. and Japan are clear. As early as 2017, when he was Minister of Foreign Affairs, Johnson hinted that the new aircraft carrier’s first operation was to go to the South China Sea for "free navigation." In addition, , the Japanese Self-Defense Forces planned for May 2021, and The United States and France held a joint military exercise, and the location was chosen on an uninhabited island near the Diaoyu Islands. The French Chief of Naval Staff Pierre-Vandier also blatantly provoked, "The military exercise information was sent to China." Z13z

Let go of illusions and prepare for battle. The People's Liberation Army, which once defeated the United States and other 16-nation coalition forces on land, can also defeat the "New Eight-Power Allied Forces" z1 at sea.3z

From the current point of view, Biden will work more closely with allies to strengthen deterrence in the waters around me. The United States, Japan, Australia, India, Britain, France, Canada and other countries are likely to form a new "Eight-Power Allied Force." Regarding the evolution of the 16-nation coalition from land to sea, the 8-nation coalition to the sea, on the one hand we have a strong spirit of struggle. As the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, "We urge the United States to fully recognize the high sensitivity of the Taiwan issue. Abide by the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiqués; advise the US to discard unrealistic illusions and put aside domestic political calculations; warn the US not to try to challenge China's bottom line, and not to misjudge the firm determination of the 1.4 billion Chinese people to defend national unity. "Z3z

At the same time, the People's Navy of China has developed rapidly and has entered the era of dual aircraft carriers. Coupled with nearshore advantages, we are fully capable of defeating the United States' wishful thinking. Victory will continue to belong to the standing Chinese people and army!
