As soon as Biden shouted, the five countries are united, the Asia-Pacific region is caught in three anchors, and China, Russia and North Korea are in danger!
Biden's shout, like a stormy wave, quietly set off a storm in the Asia-Pacific region. The five countries formed an alliance in response, and an encirclement called the "Three Anchors" tightly sandwiched China, Russia and North Korea. It makes people anxious, and looking at all this, I can't help but ask: what are we facing?
The source of this storm is the huge risk posed by the so-called "alliance deterrence" of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region. In the past period of time, China and the United States have fallen into a full-scale game, and Biden has used the so-called "Indo-Pacific strategy" to woo allies everywhere and gather forces in an attempt to encircle and suppress China. It's no longer a secret. Looking at 2021, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin put forward the concept of "integrated deterrence", wanting to integrate internal and external resources and forces in the form of "all services", "all fields", "all means" and "all allies" to achieve the goal of deterring opponents. This is the so-called "alliance deterrence" that the US has been advocating all along.
Now it seems that this so-called "alliance deterrence" of the United States is nothing more than a huge gamble on the stability and peace of the entire Asia-Pacific region. And I can't help but wonder, what is the reason behind this?Why does it have to push the Asia-Pacific region into such a serious challenge?
In the specific incident, as soon as Biden raised his arms, five countries followed suit and formed an alliance to form a "three anchors" encirclement. The five countries are Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia and the United Kingdom. It's like a giant chessboard in a political game, and we are the pawns in it. Isn't such a move chilling?Netizens also expressed their concerns on social **, with some commenting: "This is simply a dangerous game of geopolitics, we can't play it as 'RMB'!"Some people even jokingly called this "the Asia-Pacific version of Go, but unfortunately we are all the side that is surrounded".
Judging from the specific military layout, this "three anchors" encirclement is actually distributed in three directions: "northern, central, and southern." The first is the "northern anchor", which is mainly the trilateral military cooperation between the United States, Japan, and South Korea. In August this year, Biden met with the Prime Minister of Japan and the South Korean Camp David at the United States Estate, reached the "Camp David Principles", agreed to expand cooperation, and formulated a series of cooperation plans. Some analysts have pointed out that if the United States, Japan, and the ROK can be integrated into the framework of the United States, Japan, and the ROK, the United States will achieve absolute dominance in trilateral relations, and will exert tremendous pressure on the DPRK, China, and Russia. This is not only a strengthened extended deterrence of North Korea, but also a further counterbalance to China's influence.
The second is the "central anchor", that is, the US-Philippine alliance and the trilateral security cooperation between the US, Japan and the Philippines. Recently, the Philippines has frequently caused incidents in the South China Sea, and the extraterritorial power on which the Philippines relies is the United States. This can't help but make people wonder whether the South China Sea issue was really caused by the Philippines spontaneouslyObviously, the United States is using the hands of the Philippines to stir up waves in the South China Sea, undermining China's relations with neighboring countries by hyping up the South China Sea issue, and paving the way for its own containment plan. Japan has also joined the game, recently officially handing over its long-range aerial surveillance radar system to the Philippines for deployment at a former US Air Force base about 300 kilometers from Scarborough Shoal. This will undoubtedly add another fuel to the fire on the South China Sea issue and make the whole situation more tense.
Finally, there is the "South Anchor", that is, the trilateral alliance of the United States, Britain and Australia. Initially, the alliance was only to provide Australia with nuclear-powered submarines, but it has now evolved into a much larger technical cooperation. From artificial intelligence and quantum technology to cyber and space, the alliance aims to focus on key cutting-edge technology cooperation that serves the strategic need to contain China. This can't help but remind people of the old saying: "Cultivate the plank road in the open, and Chen Cang in the dark." "This so-called technical cooperation is actually a larger-scale containment operation, which has shaken the construction of the South Pacific and Southeast Asia nuclear-free zones.
All these developments have brought unprecedented triple challenges to the Asia-Pacific region. First, there is the risk of geopolitical conflict. The United States, Japan and other countries have "emboldened" the Philippines' provocative actions in the South China Sea, provided first-class equipment, and instigated the Philippines to confront China, which is increasing the risk of maritime conflict. Second, there is the risk of severing regional solidarity and cooperation, which will impact the process of regional cooperation and integration in the Asia-Pacific region. Finally, there is the increased risk of nuclear proliferation. The trilateral military and security cooperation between the United States, Japan, and South Korea has further complicated the situation on the peninsula, and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has made it clear that if the enemy provokes the DPRK with nuclear weapons, the DPRK will not hesitate to carry out a nuclear attack.
Seeing all this, I can't help but wonder whether this so-called "alliance deterrence" is aimed at maintaining peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region, or is it brewing a broader crisis?Is Biden's so-called "Indo-Pacific strategy" just a political calculation that uses the entire Asia-Pacific region as their chess board?
At this moment of change, we should remain vigilant, see the situation clearly, and defend our interests. We must not be fooled by their political games, let alone fall prey to this dangerous gamble. It is hoped that the international community will think calmly and work together to maintain regional peace and stability. We must not let this storm continue to rage, and we will not let the so-called "three anchors" encirclement become our nightmare. Because our future cannot be manipulated by anyone.
