The US-Japan military exercise has made China an imaginary enemy and made hostility public.
From 1 to 8 February, Japan's Self-Defense Forces and the US military stationed in Japan held an exercise codenamed "Sharp Blade" at a US-Japan joint command post on the pretext of a so-called "emergency" in the Taiwan region. The exercise was simulated by computer and the content was mainly command and control. In addition to Japan's Self-Defense Forces and the U.S. ** team, Australia also participated in the exercise for the first time this year.
Japan's Kyodo News Agency stressed in its report that unlike the previous use of vague maps and code names to refer to imaginary enemies, this exercise used real maps and directly marked the imaginary enemy as China for the first time.
Although the specific scene of the exercise was listed as a "special secret" by the Japanese Ministry of Defense and was not made public, Japan's ** still released a statement to the outside world through the mouth of a so-called "source", claiming that unlike the previous exercise, which used temporary names to refer to the "imaginary enemy," the United States and Japan directly listed China as an "imaginary enemy" for the first time in history.
In this regard, a Japanese source claimed that the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and the US military listed China as an "imaginary enemy" for the first time in a joint command post exercise. This statement is, of course, inaccurate. In fact, almost all of the US-Japanese exercises in East Asia have treated China as an imaginary enemy. It's just that in the past, there were no three hundred taels of silver here, but this time it has been made public.
1.In what format will the exercise take?
Wargames are deduced on the computer, but more emphasis is placed on command, control, and management, rather than on the specific tactics of aircraft and ships. That is to say, the focus is on joint exercises of high-level command organs and personnel.
2.What is the purpose?
The purpose is not to enhance how to intervene and intervene more efficiently in command, decision-making, and troop deployment in the event of an emergency in the Taiwan Strait, so as to further implement Japan's "Taiwan has an incident" and "the United States militarily assists in the defense of Taiwan."
3.What kind of intention does Japan have in choosing to release its words to the outside world through so-called ** sources?
There are several purposes for releasing to the outside world through the so-called ** sources, one is that Japan ** exerts pressure on China. Recently, Sino-Japanese relations have been in difficulty, and the Japanese side wants to play more cards against China. Second, it is possible that in the future, China, the imaginary enemy in the exercise, will be completely open and no longer concealed, so as to force the Chinese side to accept this move by the Japanese side. The third is to smear Chinese mainland's cross-strait policy and blame Chinese mainland for the stalemate.
What do the United States and Japan want for this unprecedented act? And how do we respond?
With regard to Japan's thorough and open designation of China as an imaginary enemy, we must first refute and expose its motives. Second, it is necessary to warn that the United States and Japan will be responsible for the tension in the regional situation by directly listing China as an imaginary enemy. The third is that we can also maintain the system.
1. Exercises to maintain security in the East China Sea offset the impact of US-Japan exercises and enhance our troops' ability to respond to emergencies in the East China Sea and the Taiwan Strait.
