After the United States approves the sale of Tomahawk missiles to Japan, it will also sell Creepe

With the recent dispatch of a large number of missiles by the United States to Japan, including 44 "Sidewinder" missiles and 400 "Tomahawk" missiles, this has aroused the attention and controversy of the international community. This is not only a continuation of the United States' long-standing military support for Japan, but also part of its Indo-Pacific strategy, which aims to contain China's rise. The U.S. has made it clear that the moves are aimed at China and are intended to improve Japan's ability to respond to threats. However, this frequent supply of missiles to Japan is actually a manifestation of US hegemonism, and the motive behind it is that it does not want a big power to emerge in the world that is comparable to its own power, even if it pursues peaceful development. The reason why Japan actively cooperates with the strategic deployment of the United States and is willing to play the role of "first shot" on the China issue is not only because it follows in the footsteps of the United States, but also because it is influenced by its own geopolitics and national ambitions.

In the Indo-Pacific strategy of the United States, Japan is an important part of it, and has formed a situation of "competing for favor" with Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, India and other countries. All of these countries are under the strategic influence of the United States and fully support the geopolitical goals of the United States. In addition, the United States is constantly strengthening its relations with these countries through cooperation in the military field, further bringing it closer to the military alliances of these countries. For example, the United States has continuously strengthened ties with military allies such as Japan and South Korea through nuclear submarine cooperation and bilateral and multilateral summits. At the same time, the United States has also promoted its geopolitical interests by hyping up the "first-class relationship" between China and Russia and guiding NATO to pay attention to the Indo-Pacific region.

However, this strategic behavior of the United States must be carefully observed and reflected. First, if war breaks out in the Asia-Pacific region, it could occur in China's neighboring areas, such as the Taiwan Strait, the South China Sea, and the East China Sea. These areas border with America's allies and have a series of major problems, making them very dangerous. In dealing with tensions in these regions, China must strike a balance between showing a firm stance and keeping the United States and its allies out of the way, and not giving them a chance to attack.

Second, while the United States seems to have succeeded in linking itself closely to some countries, it has tried to contain China on multiple fronts. However, the US calculation may not work. Taking the United States' plan to build more drone swarms to counter China as an example, this approach is difficult to achieve substantial results, because China not only has a large number of drone equipment, but is also a major exporter of drones. If any country does not have countermeasures against a certain **, it will not easily export this ** to other countries. Therefore, the United States is actually asking for trouble by trying to deal with China in this way. China has sufficient superiority in military technology and resources, and the United States will only allow itself to hit the iron plate by going it alone, and it will be difficult to achieve the expected goal.

In short, the U.S. move to deliver large-scale missiles to Japan has sparked international concern and controversy, aiming to strengthen its geopolitical influence in the Asia-Pacific region and contain China's rise. However, there are certain risks and challenges associated with this approach, which require close attention and response from China and other countries in the region. At the same time, China should maintain its strategic focus, firmly defend its own interests and regional stability, and jointly build a peaceful and stable Asia-Pacific region through cooperation and dialogue with other countries.
