At the end of last year, the French media disclosed that the French Navy Pacific Command Sea Patrol Machinery found a Chinese Navy 052D destroyer event with 175 Chinese Navy in France's overseas colonies in Polynesia, France.The supply ship "Chakan Lake" is the maritime supply mission.This sea area is the third island chain of the Pacific Ocean recognized by the U.S. military. The emergence of the liberated warships has aroused great attention from international media.

The reason why the huge Pacific has become the "inland sea" of the United States is about a century of journey.If the entire Pacific Ocean is regarded as a big Go board, the left, right, up, and lower sides of the chessboard are China (East Asia), the United States (North America and South America), the North Pole and the Antarctica."No Lord".However, as a player, in about a century, the United States has settled into a big empty board in about a century and entered into the pocket.

In 1867, the United States bought Alaska from Russia; in 1900, Hawaii became the 50th state in the United States; before that, in the 1898, the United States won the Guam and the Philippines from Spanish.A big appearance formed.The end of World War II in 1945, Japan surrendered, and the United States raised the many islands controlled by Japan in the West and South Pacific.) The military cooperation between the military alliances and military; in the end, the "five -eye alliance" countries such as Canada, Australia, and New Zealand were pulled in, and the entire "Inland Sea" forces were circled by it.

The problem is that the "Inland Sea" in the United States is too big. It has been expanded to the east margin of the Asian continent in the west.South) Come in, and this is of course difficult to accept it in China.So with the rise of China, the confrontation and game of China and the United States in the Western Pacific is logical inevitable.

As the first step, China must clear the United States' power at the gate of China. This is to block the US forces outside the first island chain with "reflective entry and regional refusal".The "moat", which has caused a flip -type change on the left side of the big chessboard.In order to strengthen this foundation, then the island -built method can effectively control the South China Sea and use Go metaphors. This is "doing work". With such a foundation, China can try to break through the first island chain and fall into the West Pacific falling son.Essence

I never thought that with the rapid thriving of China's economy and military strength, China not only created a ocean navy in a very short period of time, but also reached the second island chain after direct out of the first island chain.At the door of Guam, the Polynesia of the third island chain now has even moved forward.On the chessboard, this means that China has fallen into the middle of the middle of the big chessboard. Strictly speaking, the "big empty" of the inland sea that the United States has "surrounded" for a century. After entering the new centuryEvery year, it was "beaten" by the Chinese side; in addition to the success of the United States, China will have a great probability that it will also fall in the East Pacific.This century has not yet reached the end. What is curious is when it will close when it will be closed.
