In Wells** saidU.S. militaryIntended to restartPacific OceanTinianAfter the news of the last World War II airport was announced, many people began to pay attention to the significance of this move and the strategic layout behind it. In this regard, Liu Heping's special commentator believesU.S. militaryThe reason for this move reflects their concern and fear of China's medium- and long-range strike capabilities. China's "Dongfeng" series of missiles, as well as the enhancement of long-range precision strike capabilities of hypersonic missiles, have allowed the:U.S. militaryI feel overwhelmed.
On the contrary, due to theINF TreatyThe United States is in ChinaLong-range missilesIt is relatively backward in production and deployment. Therefore, how to deal with ChinaLong-range missilesThe saturation and intensive attack becameU.S. militaryThe headache is also a new topic that they have to study and solve. Against such a background,U.S. militaryDecided to restartTinianThe airfield of World War II was actually for the implementation of "agile combat deployment".
This deployment means that it will:MilitaryThe forces are spread out to different places to avoid putting all the eggs in one basket. Due toU.S. militaryOn the "second island chain".MilitaryThe base is relatively limited, and with the development of ChinaLong-range missilesThe security of Anderson Air Force Base was also threatened. So, restartTinianAirports can be associated with:The Anderson Air Force Base forms horns and guards each other, and at the same time can also be used asU.S. militaryThe transfer of aircraft and the reserve base to ensure the preservation of combat power.
In recent years, the United States has begun to increase its efforts to "The first island chain"UpMilitaryThe deployment of the base is strengthened, and by strengthening the cooperation with South Korea, Japan, the Philippines and other countriesMilitaryAlliances to strengthen their defensive and offensive capabilities. At the same time, they have also strengthened the combat capability of the Taiwan armed forces through arms sales to Taiwan. Liu Heping believes that this shows that the United States is interested in ".The first island chain"Confidence is no longer strong, or they have lost their sense of security in the region.
In the consolidation and reinforcement of the pair".The first island chainAfter the deployment, the United States began to focus on consolidating and strengthening the "second island chain". In addition to a full-fledged launchMilitaryOutside the planned renovation of the base, they also decided to restartTinianairports and use them as the main battlefield of the future. This reflectsU.S. militaryThe "second island chain" will be viewed as a key strategic location for offense and defense as part of their strategic objectives.
However, Liu Heping believes thatU.S. militaryBy restartingMilitarybase andTinianIt is very difficult for airports to achieve their strategic goals. Although the United States is constantly strengthening its ownMilitarybases and defense systems, especially in the "second island chain", but in ChinaLong-range missiles's offensive capabilities are also improving. According to an analysis by the US Defense Intelligence Agency, China's newly developed hypersonic missile can hitPacific Oceanregionally ownedU.S. militaryBase. In such cases, even ifU.S. militaryRebootedTinianThe airfield, the distraction of the combat force, but whether they can ensure their own safety 100% is questionable.
Liu Heping pointed outU.S. militaryNot only will it not help resolve its own security dilemma, but it may lead to more intense situationsArms raceand exacerbate the regionalMilitaryConfrontation. Therefore, he called on the United States to focus on achieving coexistence and common prosperity between China and the United States, rather than investing in war. Pacific OceanThe region is large enough to accommodate the two great powers, China and the United States, and to live together peacefully. Liu Heping believes that if the United States wants to ensure the long-term peace and stability of itself and the region, it should truly implement the principle of "no conflict with China" promised by Biden many times.
Liu Heping's special commentator believes thatU.S. militaryRebootTinianThe purpose of the airport is to strengthen the presence of the airport with ChinaMilitarydeterrence, while dealing with ChinaLong-range missilesrapid development. However, he thinksU.S. militaryThe feasibility of achieving the strategic objectives through this initiative is limited. He noted that China's medium- and long-range strike capabilities are constantly improving, making itU.S. militaryInPacific OceanThere is a greater threat to the bases in the region. Therefore, it is more important to invest in peace than in war. He believes that the United States should focus on achieving coexistence and common prosperity between China and the United States, rather than passing itMilitarydeployment to exacerbate the regionMilitaryConfrontation.
