The announcement of the new military plan for 2024 is a new trigger for the recent geopolitical controversy in the Indo-Pacific region. The US military plans to deploy land-based medium-range missiles with a range of 500-2700 kilometers. As for the choice of deployment location, the US military chose the ** region instead of its traditional allies Japan, South Korea and the Philippines, which caused concern among these three countries. They fear that the move will increase their risk of being retaliated by China. However, a closer look at the U.S. plan reveals that it contains an attempt to obstruct Chinese mainland's recovery of Taiwan. China is not unaware of this move by the US military, and the Chinese Ministry of Defense has made it clear that if the United States deploys intermediate-range missiles in the region, it will face Chinese countermeasures. China will inevitably take counterweight actions.
China has prepared for this plan in advance, and has conducted several missile test launches beforehand, and its successful landing on a moving target in the Indo-Pacific region has had a considerable deterrent effect on the US military. This forced the US military to consider making the ** area the most densely populated base for air defense systems in the world in order to avoid the threat of China's Dongfeng missiles. At the same time, the United States is also trying to draw China into a new arms race in order to achieve its goal of containing China. Such a move is bound to seriously deplete the national strength of China and the United States, and may trigger a new Cuban missile crisis. It is worth noting that at the two China-US summits, China's high-level officials clearly expressed China's development strategy, emphasizing that there will be no confrontation or provocation of conflict, and only the pursuit of win-win cooperation. However, this does not mean that China is willing to sacrifice all interests, including strategic security interests, for peaceful development. Once the United States deploys intermediate-range missiles in the Indo-Pacific region and poses a threat to China's security and the Taiwan issue, China will inevitably take the same measures to counteract, such as deploying intermediate-range missiles in Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and other places, in order to return the favor to the other.
The US military's planned deployment of land-based medium-range missiles sends three clear signals. First of all, the United States regards China as its biggest adversary and plans to contain and suppress China in various fields such as economic, military, and political. Second, the United States advocates the establishment of an anti-China coterie in the Indo-Pacific region, which means that allies such as the United States, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and Australia will further advance this goal. Third, Biden will change his past "peaceful" policy toward China and take a tough stance on China. This shows that the situation in the Indo-Pacific region is bound to change dramatically. Considering Biden's frequent intervention in Taiwan's affairs and his complete failure to take the "one-China principle" into account, it is foreseeable that in the future, the United States will turn the Taiwan region into a strategic pawn, similar to Ukraine. Therefore, for China, the next 10 years will be 10 years of fierce competition between China and the United States. If the U.S. deploys intermediate-range missiles in the Indo-Pacific region, we must respond with greater determination.
In the face of the U.S. challenge and attempts to block China's development, China must remain tough. As the old saying goes, "God blocks and kills God and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha", and the United States tries to stop China's development, so we can only respond in the same way. China has a strong military and strategic reserves that allow it to take reciprocal countermeasures. In this regard, Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and other places can be ideal candidates for the deployment of medium-range missiles in our country. Only by responding to the US military deployment with a tough attitude can we safeguard our sovereignty and interests.
It is not difficult to see that the U.S. military operation to deploy land-based intermediate-range missiles in the Indo-Pacific region in 2024 has revealed a clear signal. This reflects the fact that the United States regards China as its biggest adversary and is trying to contain China in all aspects of politics, economics and military. As far as China is concerned, in the face of obstruction and provocation by the United States, we must not show weakness and must resolutely respond to it. The next 10 years will be a decade of fierce competition between China and the United States, and we must maintain a strong military force and strategic reserves to respond to the U.S. military deployment. Only with an attitude of equal confrontation can we safeguard our sovereignty and interests and achieve the peaceful development of our country.
