U.S. Affairs Assistant Jake Sullivan met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Malta for more than 12 hours, and the two sides reached consensus on a number of issues.
Although this seems to signal a possible turnaround in Sino-US relations, the Navy News** report reveals the discreditworthiness of the United States.
The reported arrival of the U.S. "ghost fleet" at the Yokosuka base is another reminder that any cooperation with the United States must be cautious, because the United States cannot be trusted.
While deploying unmanned ships in Asia, the United States has also continuously pushed Japan to lift the arms ban and even supported Japan's large-scale missile purchases. This behavior clearly shows that the United States has no intention of cessating war with China, but is constantly increasing pressure on China.
If China wants to achieve its own development, it must eradicate seven hidden dangers, including the United States.
When economic statistics in 2010 showed that China had become the world's second largest economy, the United States immediately strengthened its military deployment in the Asia-Pacific region, showing its determination to "suppress the second largest economy".
Obama made a high-profile announcement at the APEC summit in November 2011 that the United States would"Turn to Asia"The following year, the United States proposed a rebalance to the Asia-Pacific region.
According to this strategy, the US military will deploy more than 60 percent of its military strength to the Asia-Pacific region in order to maintain its strategic superiority in the region. Although in 2017, the United States said that the Asia-Pacific rebalance strategy has ended, Trump will have a new Asia-Pacific strategy.
But judging by the actions of the United States, they are not reducing their presence in the Asia-Pacific region"Reinforcement"pace. Whether it is holding large-scale military exercises or opening more military bases in Asia, the actions of the United States have demonstrated obvious hostility towards China.
The US military deployment in the Asia-Pacific region has not been weakened by the Sino-US war. Recently, the US "Navy News**" reported that two unmanned ships "Mariner" and "Ranger" have arrived at the Yokosuka base in Japan.
The two ships are an important outcome of the U.S. "Ghost Fleet" program, which aims to develop autonomous control systems that allow unmanned ships to operate autonomously and carry a variety of payloads without any crew.
Including **, reconnaissance equipment and communication equipment, etc., it can independently navigate between two points and autonomously avoid other ships, and maintain a long sea voyage.
Although the United States and China have started a war with China, they still have a positive attitude towards military deployment in the Asia-Pacific region.
The unmanned fleet provides new solutions for the U.S. military) The unmanned fleet system developed by the United States, modified with commercial supply vessels, adopts a modular design, and is suitable for a variety of delivery platforms and combat missions.
After several long-range navigation and firepower strike tests, the system has demonstrated a high degree of reliability and flexibility. Its main goal is to provide the US military with a new approach to future maritime challenges.
At present, the number of surface ships of the US military is no longer able to meet the needs of global deployment, so they expect unmanned ships to be used as a supplement to manned ships, rapidly expand the size of the fleet, increase the density of firepower, reduce costs and risks, and then improve combat efficiency and effectiveness.
The United States has deployed a "ghost fleet" in the Asia-Pacific region to target China, with obvious intentions. Not only have they co-opted allies, but they have also used them to pressure China in the South China Sea. The incident and subsequent developments at Second Thomas Shoal in the Philippines have amply illustrated this point.
The United States let the Philippines take the lead to provide a pretext for external intervention in the South China Sea, and then the United States, Japan, Australia and the Philippines jointly held military exercises in an attempt to contain China.
On the South China Sea issue, the Philippines temporarily withdrew from military exercises due to Chinese pressure, but after the US-Japan-Australia military exercise ships entered its waters, the Philippines resumed "joint patrols", this time Germany, Canada and France also joined.
If China wants to develop, it must remove these countries that are deliberately obstructing. And among these countries, Japan's behavior is particularly bad. They have been trying to revive their aggressive ambitions, which they have manifested themselves through acts such as falsifying history and paying homage to the Yasukuni Shrine.
In order to maintain its hegemony, the United States has constantly supported Japan, and under the pretext of "deterring China", Japan has been able to break through the restrictions of the pacifist constitution.
Japan currently has 1,400 ammunition depots and plans to add 130 more in fiscal 2023, according to Asia Times. Although Japan** keeps secret the specific type and quantity of ammunition stored in the ammunition depot, based on its procurement information, it can be speculated that these newly built ammunition depots may have been prepared for missile stockpiling.
In March this year, Japan** plans to purchase 400 of the latest Tomahawk Block-5 missiles from the United States and upgrade all eight Aegis destroyers as missile carriers by fiscal year 2027.
In August, news came out that a number of Japanese **said that they planned to deploy 1,000 domestically produced long-range cruise missiles to improve their counterattack capabilities against China.
U.S. support for Japan's challenge to missile restrictions could threaten eastern China. But we in China are not afraid of war and can protect our territory, regardless of equipment.
Our military power has increased and we are confident of deterring any enemy. The military threats of the United States, Japan and other countries cannot force China to make concessions, and they have miscalculated.
