The Philippine President President Presks Kats visited the United States to meet with President Biden, and later issued a joint statement to reiterate the importance of maintaining the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait. It is believed that this is an indispensable element of global security and prosperity.Biden also mentioned the joint defense treaty signed in 1951, emphasizing the United States' commitment to the Philippines's firm alliance.The two also welcomed the new US military bases in accordance with the US -Philippine cooperation agreement.
From the perspective of competition from the United States and mid -geopolitics, this is another successful operation of the United States to reverse former Philippine President Duterte's "Yuanmei Middle School" policy and stabilize the Asia -Pacific allies.Previously, the South Korean President Yin Xiyue was invited to visit the United States with a grand "country to visit", and to invite Japanese Prime Minister's wives to the first family of the United States with a private nature.
Perhaps President Biden was criticized by "Bacheum" to criticize Saudi Arabia with the lesson that the United States lost its influence in the Middle East, and Xi Jinping encouraged the French President Macron, which was inspired by China -French relations.The allies are much more polite and have more skills.Not only trying to establish a closer private friendship with Japan's first family, but also more refreshing the respect of South Korean President Yin Xiyue.Although Yin Xiyue's English speech at the US House of Representatives was jerky, the grandfather of the members still gave 26 standing applause.With the respect of Americans's hegemony, doing this is also a good intention.
The intention of the United States has successfully exchanged for Yin Xiyue's comprehensive and beautiful beauty.South Korea agrees to deploy nuclear missiles in the United States and allow nuclear martial arts bombers to land in South Korea, which greatly increases the US nuclear deterrent.Although it is still aimed at North Korea on the surface, "Xiangzhuang dance sword, intended to Pei Gong", who is the real goal, everyone is very clear.
While the US diplomacy has worked hard to consolidate the allies, we also noticed that the number of times the US Navy warships have performed as small as the "free navigation" task.The Meiji Reef Sea event, and returned to the station on the 17th.In April of the PLA, the "Taiwan Military Show", the U.S. military was also quite restrained. The aircraft carrier of Nimitz and the Shandong ship maintained a very safe distance to avoid wiping guns and getting angry.
If these observations are correct, it means that the Biden government has launched a new layout of "enclosure" in geographical competition: reducing direct military pressure on mainland China, and focusing on the cooperation of the Asia -Pacific Alliance.This is in line with the policy suggestions of "the soldiers' conspiracy, second to cut off, followed by the second, and the first attack the city" proposed by the Sun Tzu's military law.EssenceBecause any change in the tension of the Taiwan Strait is worthy of support.
Taiwan does not have to interpret this round of operation in the United States as the "Asian version of NATO".The "NATO" established during the Cold War was effectively operating because it was the 7th Army of the US Army, not the German army on the front line, not the German army.In the United States to carry almost all the combat responsibilities, it will make the European allies willing to follow.If it is thought that South Korea is willing to cooperate with the United States and give 500,000 troops to the U.S. military command to fight against the PLA, and take the North Korean attack and detonate a new round of "Korean War" with nuclear war risks, and think too much.Korean people will not want to fight the "agent war."In the same way, Taiwanese will not.
