Recently, China and the United States have held a series of high-level meetings, including diplomatic and financial meetings. Although it is better to talk than not to talk, but the Biden administration not only did not give up the idea of confronting China, as the November United States election approached, but frequently launched provocations against China, and even the US military is still accelerating the pace of preparation, 3 challenge letters have been sent to China, what happened? Let's focus on this issue.
United States is planning to stockpile a large number of low-cost anti-ship weapons to deter China in the Indo-Pacific region, the Russian Guardian news agency reported on September 18. IT IS REPORTED THAT THE U.S. MILITARY IS HOARDING A "QUICKSINK" WEAPON JOINTLY DEVELOPED BY THE United States BOEING COMPANY AND THE United Kingdom AEROSPACE SYSTEMS COMPANY.
QUICKSINK is inexpensive and can be used for hundreds of thousands of joint directed attack bombs, which can turn 900 kg bombs without guidance into guided weapons. To put it simply, the United States can let the missiles hit wherever they want without spending any money. And this is still the inspiration of the United States from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, as the saying goes, "a cannon sounds, gold is ten thousand taels", on August 26, Russia used more than 100 missiles and 100 drones to launch an attack on the entire territory of Ukraine, which cost $1.3 billion on this day alone. Therefore, in the view of the US side, in order to deal with a possible Sino-US conflict in the future, the US military must prepare a large number of relatively cheap weapons. ACCORDING TO THE U.S. SIDE'S ASSUMPTION, THE U.S. MILITARY WILL USE LONG-RANGE ANTI-SHIP MISSILES OR STANDARD SIX-TYPE (SM-6) MISSILES TO STRIKE CHINESE WARSHIPS AND RADARS, AND THEN BOMB THEM WITH CHEAP WEAPONS SUCH AS QUICKSINK, WITH THE INTENTION OF "CRUSHING CHINA'S SHIP DEFENSE."
In addition, on September 16, local time, United States Air Force Secretary Frank · Kendall shouted at a public event that China's threat to Asia-Pacific security is not in the future, but now. Kendall said he had been following China's military developments for the past 15 years and felt threatened by China's growing power. Kendall claimed that he was not hyping up the imminence or inevitability of a war in the Pacific, but only to emphasize that the likelihood was growing, warning United States that it must be prepared for a potential future conflict and be prepared to win. In short, the United States Air Force secretary is asking the US military to speed up the pace of combat preparations under the banner of responding to the "China threat." Generally speaking, the hype of the "China threat" by the US military top brass is generally to fight for the defense budget, that is, to reach out to the United States Congress to ask for money, and on the other hand, it is also to find an excuse for expanding its own force and strengthening its military presence in the Asia-Pacific region.
In mid-July, Charles · Jr., chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of United States, spoke about Sino-US relations at a public event, vainly saying that he was "full of confidence" in the US military's defeat of China. Mr. Brown also threatened China with a conflict that would be "similar to World War II," stressing that the U.S. military would not fight for second place, but for victory, and assured that it would be an unfair battle.
From these three challenges, it is not difficult to find that the US military has more than once imagined that a conflict between China and the United States may break out in the future, and is speeding up the pace of preparations for this purpose, on the one hand, stockpiling weapons, increasing the intensity and scale of military exercises in the Pacific region, and on the other hand, calling on allies to confront China together. A few days ago, Germany failed to resist United States pressure and sent two warships through the Taiwan Strait under the banner of so-called "freedom of navigation." Defense Minister Canada also said that he would continue to send warships to the Taiwan Strait to provoke. In addition, last week, the United States Congress passed a total of 25 China-related bills during the so-called "Anti-China Week", United States the two parties are still attacking each other for not being ruthless enough on China. Therefore, it can be predicted that the closer the United States election, the more the United States will spare no effort to play the "China card". To this end, China should be well prepared.
