A few days ago, the United States Pentagon has begun public bidding, and judging from the information announced, the US military plans to build a new military base in the Cocos Islands, which are close to the Strait of Malacca. The Cocos Islands belong to Australia and are actually geographically located in Southeast Asia, with great strategic value due to their close proximity to the Strait of Malacca. If the U.S. military establishes a military base in the Cocos Islands, it can quickly enter the Strait of Malacca with fighter jets, so as to achieve the defense of important sea passages, which is the rhythm of China's neck. The analysis of the beacon front station believes that the US military in the Cocos Islands can control the Strait of Malacca by attacking from the east and west, and in fact, the US military already has a foothold in Singapore, so that it can further control the Strait of Malacca.
Judging from the sea shipping lanes, in addition to the Strait of Malacca, the Cocos Islands can also hold the rest of the sea lanes, and it is obvious that when United States actively contain and contain China, it is United States to make another move. According to public information, more than 50% of China's oil imports need to pass through the Strait of Malacca, for which the United States will choose the Cocos Islands as a new base, the US military already has numerous military bases in the Asia-Pacific region, especially in the Japan and the Ryukyus, there are also military bases in Korea, in recent years United States has strengthened the construction of bases in the Philippines, and now there is also the deployment of land-based medium-range missiles, which is one of the actions to further put pressure on China.
United States has close military cooperation with Australia, and when it United States dealt with China, Australia also rushed to the front line, and now it provides a new opportunity for the US military to promote forward deployment. Australia has given the U.S. military a new base to advance, and the Cocos Islands are more prominent than the Darwin base in northern Australia. Australia close cooperation with United States in the military field can be seen from the "Aukus" alliance, through which United States and United Kingdom provide attack nuclear submarines to Australia, in fact, they want to establish a long-range deterrent against China through Australia, United States to win over Australia coalition to deal with China militarily.
Relying on military bases located in the first island chain, the US military has long flexed its military might in the Asia-Pacific region, recently using aircraft carriers to patrol the South China Sea for two months, and has also rallied other Western countries to use warships to demonstrate at China's doorstep. The purpose of the United States has been very clear, that is, to do everything possible to prevent the rise of China, for this reason a lot of military forces have been mobilized to give the PLA an eye medicine, if the US military establishes a military base in the Cocos Islands, it will seriously affect regional peace and stability, the deployment of the US military is not for world peace, in fact, for the United States global hegemony, United States consider United States their own interests.
At the Foreign Ministry press conference on August 6, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning answered reporters' relevant questions, Mao Ning pointed out sharply that relevant countries should do more things conducive to maintaining regional peace and stability, and it is obvious that Mao Ning has accused United States of undermining peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region and undermining the interests of third parties. United States does not pretend to deal with China at all, and it is obvious that China will not remain indifferent, as can be seen from the PLA fleet's patrols around the world.
