Biden's visit to Vietnam exerted pressure on China at many points.
Recently, it was reported that Biden plans to visit Vietnam in September, a move that is particularly interesting at this tense time.
The United States has made progress with the Philippines through the "2+2 talks" and increased its use of Philippine bases. At bases close to the island of Taiwan and islands and reefs in the South China Sea, the United States, the Philippines, and Australia are stepping up preparations for war and forming a powerful comprehensive control capability.
These bases are located on the eastern side of military installations in the South China Sea. However, the Philippines has limited capacity and is a smaller country. Therefore, the United States is desperately looking for a second "** person" to confront it, so as not to fight alone.
Seeking strategic cooperation with Vietnam, providing first-class support, and multi-layered military cooperation can drive up the heat in the South China Sea. The U.S. strategy in the South China Sea is more obvious: they will first look for contradictions, then take the initiative to create contradictions, then amplify them, and finally use them to achieve their own goals.
Even with the full support of its allies, it is almost impossible to counter China to achieve an absolutely qualitative change at one point in the face of China's control and strike capabilities in the South China Sea.
The United States is preparing to launch a new operation in Vietnam, and this trip to Vietnam by the USS Reagan aircraft carrier is aimed at improving US-Vietnamese relations. As the situation in the South China Sea heats up, the United States** personally visited Vietnam, which is an unusual behavior.
At a deeper level, the United States has strengthened its relationship with Vietnam in a variety of ways, ostensibly by aiding Vietnam's economic development and improving its economic sustainability.
U.S. conditionalities are often accompanied by conspiracy, such as demands for cooperation from the coast guard, navy, and air force. If Vietnam introduces a large number of U.S. naval and air supremacy, the U.S. deterrence and strike power in the South China Sea will be further enhanced.
In essence, the U.S. behavior in Vietnam is only an attempt to confront China by taking advantage of Vietnam's port resources and geographical proximity to the South China Sea.
The United States has recently made false reports and malicious hype about China's construction of islands and bases and airports in China, claiming that this move is aimed at worsening Sino-Vietnamese relations. However, in fact, China's construction of the island is aimed at better fulfilling its responsibilities and obligations as a party to the United Nations Convention on the Sea (UNCLOS), safeguarding its own rights and interests in the South China Sea, and helping to promote regional peace and stability.
The countries surrounding the South China Sea are small in scale and weak in military strength, and lack the support of major powers compared with those around Ukraine. The South China Sea has a complex geographical environment, with many islands and reefs isolated, and the country is small in size and lacks strength.
If it wants to create strife in China's neighborhood, the United States needs to rally more allies. Only in this way can we build a US-led coalition and alliance system, realize simultaneous efforts at multiple points, and form a situation of multi-point interaction and linkage in the East China Sea, Taiwan Strait, and South China Sea, and form a favorable situation for multi-directional simultaneous pressure on China.
