The United States and Japan pick up military exercises in the South China Sea.Experts from satellite news agency consultation believe that Japan is becoming a military pressure in the United States and China in this region.

Last week, the United States and Japan held joint military exercises.For the first time in the history of the two countries, the water -supported surface and underwater ship operations supported by the Air Force in the South China Sea.Earlier, the Japanese Maritime Self -Defense Force also participated in military exercises in the Philippines.

Chen Yang, a visiting researcher at the Japan Research Center of Liaoning University, pointed out in a written interview with the satellite news agency that the U.S. Japanese army acts for China.

He said: Since the beginning of this year, the United States and Japan have repeatedly carried out bilateral or multilateral military exercises in the South China Sea many times, so the US -Japan anti -submarine exercises can be said to be an extension of the two countries' disruption in the South China Sea affairs.In addition, it is worth noting that, in addition to the first time that the Japanese submarine went to the South China Sea for the first time with the U.S. Navy's joint exercise, the Japanese Self-Defense Force also sent LSQUO; anti-submarine detection ability superior RSquo; Japanese domestic P-1 maritime patrol machine, lsquo; Kaga RSquo;The helicopter mothership, LSquo; Village Rain Rsquo; The destroyer participated in the exercise, while the United States sent destroyers and P-8A anti-submarine patrol aircraft.

Such a lineup not only reflects Japan's emphasis on the joint anti -submarine exercises with the United States, but also reflects the intention of deepening and cooperating with each other in the United States and Japan.

Expert Chen Yang said that although the Japanese Self -Defense Force emphasized that the anti -submarine exercise symbolizes the high difficulty training in any sea area, showing that Japan and the United States have high ability to use each other.The exercise is targeted at China.

On the one hand, the area of the US -Japan anti -submarine exercise is in the South China Sea, that is, at the doorstep of China. Such a strong behavior is not only to brush the sense of presence in the South China Sea, but also to draw more regions and countries to curb Made in China to contain Chinese manufacturing in China.Sound.

On the other hand, it is not difficult to see from the military aircraft and ships sent by the United States and Japan that they are the Chinese Navy, especially Chinese submarines as imaginary enemies, to strengthen combat capabilities by anti -submarine exercises.

At the same time, the US -Japan anti -submarine exercise also reflects a new change in the United States and Japan's joint military exercises, that is, the joint military exercises of both sides have gradually segmented and gradually extended to different specific fields, rather than in the previous large -scale and multi -military joint joints.Military exercise.

The US -Japanese military performance is a terrible precedent, indicating that Washington is strengthening the political and military pressure on China.

Middot, military analyst of the CIS Research Institute; Jev Sheeyev pointed out in an interview with the satellite news agency that from the perspective of provocation, the exercise and the NATO ship led by the United States were acting near the Russian Black Sea border.There are similarities.

He said: The United States and Japan should hold such challenging exercises extremely carefully.The anti -submarine exercise was similar to the exercise held on the Russian coast not long ago.Although the law is different, in the South China Sea, there is no Monterea convention that restricts the time and displacement of warships in the Black Sea, the degree of provocation of the South China Sea exercises is quite large, because China will take seriously and take sufficient actions.In theory, it cannot be ruled out that China will ban warships from passing in the South China Sea at a certain time.China has enough ability to completely close this sea area.

Russian experts point out that the United States does not seem to be completely aware of the serious consequences of provoking China at sea.In recent years, the Chinese Nuclear Submarine Fleet has installed ballistic missiles, and the efficiency of the battle group has been greatly improved.If necessary, China has the ability to cause unbearable losses to the United States in the confrontation of nuclear missiles.To this end, strategic nuclear submarines can be used, and land -based and motorized missile complexes can be used.

In this case, the United States has to consider whether it is worth provoking China.

Chinese expert Chen Yang believes that it is difficult for the US -Japan anti -submarine exercises to pose a substantial threat to China.

He said: The Chinese Navy's South China Sea Fleet is the most powerful army of the Chinese Navy. Whether it is a surface warship or underwater weapon, they have world -class capabilities.China ’s air control in the South China Sea region.Of course, China needs to be vigilant that the United States and Japan, which have repeatedly hyped the so -called lsquo; the Taiwan Strait crisis RSQUO;, will be used to the Taiwan Strait in the South China Sea joint exercise in the South China Sea.China also needs to improve its response capabilities to prevent accidents or conflicts in the South China Sea.

The United States, Japan and South Navy performed shortly before the China-ASEAN Summit.China and ASEAN plans to celebrate the 30th anniversary of bilateral relations.Obviously, the intention of the United States is that China will respond with more maritime operations, which may make its Asian partners alert.
