The three aircraft carrier battle groups appeared in the area at the same time and successively exercised in the Philippine waters.At the same time, the United States has threatened to deploy medium -range missiles in the Asia -Pacific region, which also includes China.On the other hand, the PLA tit -for -tat tattoo not only sent a fleet to the Hawaiian sea real -sea real ammunition exercise, but also sent fighters to fly around Taiwan.The air defense identification zone in the South China Sea ...

Under the epidemic attack, the regional situation is as thin as ice.

Three aircraft carrier is present in the Asia -Pacific region

The Japanese deployment mid -yield

The strength of the US military in the Pacific has begun to start from Obama's "return to Asia Pacific" policy.However, due to the good relationship between China and the United States, the two countries' defense ministers and military generals visited each other on a regular basis, the military hotline was unblocked, and the norms and crisis management and control mechanisms were booked.… But in recent years, with the deterioration of political and economic relations between the two countries, the communication between the two armies has also been interrupted, and the hostile confrontation between fighter warships has become more frequent, and the risk of wiping fires and fires has also increased day by day.The US military report (2020) recently published by the South China Sea Research Institute recently pointed out that since 2017, the United States' military power deployment in Asia -Pacific is full of "Cold War".Ship, 55%of the army forces, and two -thirds of the Marine Corps.Wu Shicun, dean of the research institute, said that the crisis management and control mechanism and code of crisis and control that the Chinese and American military may have failed completely. "Once the crisis occurs, the impact on the relationship between the two countries will be disastrous."

The three aircraft carriers of the "Roseford", "Liegen" and "Nimitz" in the United States have drove to the Asia -Pacific region one after another, so that the three aircraft carrier combat groups that have not been seen in the area have also appeared in the area at the same time.The patrol scene, there are 7 active aircraft carriers in the U.S. military, four of which are being repaired, that is, all combat aircraft carriers are deployed to the Pacific Ocean.Generally believes that this move is to demonstrate from China and regain the confidence of allies.Although the Defense Director of the United States and the United States in March emphasized the dialogue to resolve disputes, Markmilley, chairman of the United States Staff Joint Meeting, recently said that his common mission with future US commanders is to prevent the outbreak of the war in the great power.However, the army is a tool for national politics, and military diplomacy is difficult to resist the general national diplomacy.

The Asia -Pacific military game in China and the United States not only heats up the conflict between the two countries, but the risk of conflict is more likely to spread to other countries and regions in the region.After the United States unilaterally withdrawn from the INFTREATY, it intends to deploy medium -range missiles in the Asia -Pacific region. According to reports, South Korea and the Philippines have clearly rejected, and Australia is not willing.The latest news is that the United States is discussing a medium -range missile at the US military base in Japan.In this regard, Wu Qian, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of National Defense, described as a provocation at the "door of the house" in China.Midea is guided in its territorial deployment, so as not to be reduced to a victim of beauty and geopolitics. "People still remember that in 2017, the United States deployed the "Sad" anti -missile system in South Korea, which has seriously impacted China -South Korea's bilateral relations. China ’s restrictions on South Korea seriously affected the Korean economy. Later"Systems, without joining the US anti -commission system, did not develop the South Korean -American and Japanese military alliances, and restricted the use of" Sad "and other guarantees, Sino -South Korean relations were thawed.

The United States deployed medium -range missiles in the Asia -Pacific deployment, not only in China, Russia and North Korea will be the goal, and the geopolitical politics in the Asia -Pacific region will be more complicated.Although the United States is also a Pacific country, after all, the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea are closer to China. The formation of China and the United States confrontation, the United States is the active party.At the same time, in recent years, China's issue in the South China Sea has been stronger. In addition to reclaiming the islands, it has recently reported that the South China Sea Air Defense identification zone is also reported. The neighboring countries have paid attention to it, and the situation in the area has become more complicated.

The situation in the region is becoming more complicated.

Taiwan has become the focus of confrontation

The biggest focus of the Sino -US military wrestling is the Taiwan Strait. Since the DPP came to power in 2016,Cross -strait relations fell into a low tide. After Trump came to power, the United States increased its efforts to restrain China. The US -Taiwan relations have greatly improved. The U.S. military has also moved many actions in the Taiwan Strait.A C-40A transport aircraft traveled over Taiwan, flew into the South China Sea and then arrived in Thailand.In this regard, China has a strong response, and it is clear that the United States wants to harm Chinese sovereignty in the way of "cutting sausages". In June, the PLA sent military aircraft to cruise Taiwan Island 9 times and entered the southwest corner of the ADIZ in Taiwan many times.

US Senator Joshhawley, a draft of the Taiwan Defense Law proposed by the Congress, the core content, that is, the U.S. military should prevent Beijing forces from the "Faitaccompli", etc.Congress has been written into the draft law of the National Defense Authorization Law of the 2021 FY 2021.The draft National Defense Authorization Law also recommends that the U.S. military ships are parked in Taiwan and invited the Taiwan military to participate in the RIMPAC Naval Military Express and Fortirwin Army joint training.If it happens, the red line that Chinese envoy Li Ke said two and a half years ago, that is, "the day when the US warship arrives in Kaohsiung, is the time when the PLA is unified in Taiwan."

Taiwan is undoubtedly at the forefront of Sino -US confrontation. The entire Asia -Pacific region must also be careful to avoid being involved in the Sino -US confrontation vortex.After all, the two elephants were fighting, and in the end they suffered the grass on the soles of the feet.
