One sign of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union is for more than a decade of arms race. With the growth of Chinese military power, the international community also pays attention to whether Sino -US will have similar competitions.For the United States, the most scary in China is the so -called anti -intervention/regional refusal (A2/AD) strategy, fearing that the US military's ability to quickly support allies will be hindered.Zack Cooper, a senior researcher at the American Institute of AEI (AEI), which specializes in the US Asia -Pacific Defense Strategy (AEI), said in an interview with this newspaper that China -US military competition has decades.(Anti-ACcess, referred to as A2) Power VS. Power Project is capable, but in recent years, it has gradually seen the signs of the master and guest reversal.
In recent years, the US government or think tanks often refer to Chinese A2/AD capabilities that have continuously improved MDash; MDASH; A2 is the above -mentioned reflection, and AD (regional refusal) refers to preventing enemies from occupying or passing specific areas.Cooper described that the United States is concerned that the Chinese anti -intervention system (especially long -range ballistic missiles) will make it difficult for the US aircraft carrier battle group to enter the Western Pacific, and it makes it difficult for the US fighter to perform tasks from the bases of East Asia.Go to the ability to assist allies or partners.
Consider the strategic consideration of limited beauty of the activity

With the steady improvement of China's military power, the strategic considerations of the United States have also seen changes.Cooper pointed out that China and the United States have gradually seen the reversal of the main and guests in recent years.He said: In my opinion, this part is due to the changes in the relative strength of (China and the United States), and (this trend) is likely to accelerate in the next few years.
