Mark Milley, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, urged the US Congress and the people to remain calm and not to exaggerate the current Sino-US relations to avoid escalation.
This statement implies that the United States is secretly conducting military hostilities and preparations for war against China, which needs to be treated with caution.
Although the United States is currently facing many challenges, China's rise is an issue that the United States cannot ignore. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff made his speech at this critical moment not only to avoid vicious competition in the distribution of military spending, but also to ensure that the United States can maintain its military superiority.
The U.S. military is looking for new opportunities to counter the threat from China. Although these voices may seem "irrational" to some people, they are actually the prediction and coping strategies of the American world for the future.
In this case, China needs to be prepared to deal with it so as not to be at a disadvantage in a possible future conflict.
The voices of different branches of the US armed forces about war are getting louder and louder, as if war is about to break out. The Air Force plans to sink Chinese ships, and the Navy wants to sink Chinese submarines.
In addition, the Marine Corps will also need to be transformed to build a "steel fence" around China. The Army also plans to join it to form a multi-domain combat force and deploy it in the Asia-Pacific region.
At the moment, different branches of the military have their own views on how to distribute the cake, and Congress may not be able to judge whose reasons are more plausible. In addition, the open plan of operations and future use may make it easier for China to deal with the U.S. military, because combat operations are highly classified.
If different branches of the armed forces make their combat missions, missions, and methods public in order to compete for the cake, although they can increase military spending, the smell of gunpowder is too strong.
Keeping the secrecy of the services is an important issue in combat operations. According to reliable information, our operational modes and roles have been enhanced in different operational meetings.
Although it may not be the same as in the future, it is roughly similar. Under such circumstances, if the US military's operational intentions, actions, and deployment around China are all exposed at the expense of secrecy, it will have a negative impact on the future operations of the US military and may exacerbate tensions between China and the United States.
The Americans have already noticed the development of Chinese equipment and actual combat exercises, which, if we deliberately provoke China, may provoke its strong **. To address this challenge, we will take targeted countermeasures against hypothetical actions by the U.S. military in the perimeter, including improving our defense and anti-submarine capabilities.
In addition, we have a clear understanding of the adversary's deployment and structure, which will further enhance our countermeasures and restraint against the adversary. The U.S. military branches are secretly engaged in operational planning and mission role differentiation, and their behavior has been exposed to the spotlight, which will make their actions more obvious and will also make China feel more pressure.
With its wisdom, China has made amazing achievements in equipment development and innovation, so much so that even the Americans have said that they want to coexist peacefully and let us stop developing high-tech equipment.
The Americans have also tried conceptual innovation in the past, but they only stayed at the conceptual stage, while the Chinese translated it into real actions and real capabilities, such as hypersonic and ballistic anti-ship combat capabilities.
Now the United States should regret this "war rhetoric" of theirs.
The United States has not developed a real absolute advantage and capability, but its intentions and pressures have made China feel that it is taking every step of the way. The equipment capabilities and combat modes that we possess, as well as the combat capabilities, are beyond the imagination of the United States.
The United States may think that if it exposes all its circumstances, it will be tantamount to exposing its "fox tail". Therefore, the United States will continue to amplify at this point.
If the Chinese can seize this opportunity and improve their ability level and equipment in a targeted manner, their ability to restrain the United States will be greatly improved.
This voice of the United States does not mean that they are really willing to reconcile with you, the key is the actions in their hands. They conducted various exercises in the Asia-Pacific region and formed a "black triangle" and a "poisonous quadrilateral" in the surrounding area.
Therefore, we need to analyze the various claims and voices of the United States in a comprehensive manner, and we cannot take them as a good thing just because of the current détente rhetoric, because there may be a larger conspiracy hidden behind it.
In great power competition, the Americans will do whatever it takes.
