U.S. aircraft carrier on the deterrent effect of the PLA has begun to reverse

Nimitz aircraft carrier 300x204 U.S. aircraft carrier on the deterrent effect of the PLA has begun to reverseTaiwan’s “China Times” published on the 29th column Liu Ping On American aircraft carrier, “the East” and “West” between the choice of view, this means that the U.S. has been quietly changing the strategic considerations, but from the U.S. South Korea exercises, U.S. aircraft carriers into the Yellow Sea can not sniff out clues.

Article excerpts are as follows:

14 years ago, the United States, “Nimitz” aircraft carriers to the East China Sea, resolving the Taiwan Strait crisis; today, the United States, “George. Washington” towards the Yellow Sea aircraft carrier to avoid, lest a crisis. “East” and “West” trade-offs between, means that the U.S. has been quietly changing the strategic considerations.

March 1996, Taiwan’s first “general election” on the eve of the mainland large-scale military exercises in the Taiwan Strait and missile tests. Then U.S. President Bill Clinton ordered the “Nimitz” and “Independence” of two aircraft carrier battle group sailed near the Taiwan Strait, constitute the end of this area since the Vietnam War, the largest military deployment since.

The United States was the first use of two aircraft carrier battle groups in the Taiwan Strait, well to defuse the crisis. However, will the last time the Chinese Communists in this great parade of shock and awe? The answer is very likely. From the US-ROK exercise, the U.S. aircraft carriers into the Yellow Sea can not sniff out clues.

Made on the tactical level, from the beginning in 2096, the PLA criteria for the various operations are all the U.S. aircraft carrier as a thorn in the side. The so-called “Super fight” the first goal that is carriers. Statement on the strategic level, the PLA into the deep ocean, R & D satellites combat capability, and aircraft carrier made from time to time the outgoing message, all the hope out of the Taiwan Strait to U.S. aircraft carrier outside.

This trend has made the U.S. heart health awareness. Whether the executive branch or Congress, whether Republican or Democratic Party, from time to time some have questioned whether the need for the United States to defend Taiwan and then to the aircraft carrier. To take but two cases, one, called President Bush a strategic operator instead, the former Assistant Secretary of Defense Peter Rodman (now deceased) in office, if again the Taiwan Strait crisis, whether deployed aircraft carrier, the U.S. president will have different considerations . Second, the current Chairman of the House International Affairs Committee of the Asia-Pacific group that protect Taiwan if the United States dispatched the aircraft carrier, may have to pay a heavy price, not feasible.

Belong to different political parties in Romania, France and two, are not called “Red Army” or “those who embrace the Panda,” instead, he is a staunch supporter of Taiwan. One of the largest two in common is a firm support “Taiwan Relations Act”, but they also invariably the Taiwan Strait issue from a risk perspective, because the “strength of the United States, China also has strength.”

On the aircraft carrier combat capability, China and the United States is the “zero and 12″ ratio. In recent years, the parties have different assessments, suggesting that the latest argument is that the PLA will be built before the Second ○ 一○ six aircraft carriers, the most authoritative statement is the U.S. Pacific commander Admiral Willard said, “the first one aircraft carrier will be put into use in the year after. ”

But even if no aircraft carriers, does not mean that can not effectively deal with aircraft carriers. Like many of the former U.S. Pacific commander to visit Taiwan Blair said, “to deal with submarines, may not be the best way to use a submarine.” One of the PLA’s efforts to keep the direction of accurate cruise missiles and add new ships; the other is to modify the concept and criteria, such as fleet air defense as a priority; The third is to consider the construction or renovation in accordance with the strategic naval base, for example, on Hainan Island port, submarines out have more hidden; The fourth is the development of asymmetrical fighting capabilities, such as electronic network warfare.

All these efforts, just as the U.S. Seventh Fleet Commander Patrizi said recently, the PLA seeks to “have the ability to deal with the U.S. aircraft carrier”, or even one day, “the U.S. military out of the Pacific.” Therefore, the U.S. aircraft carrier in 1996, “said come and” absolute strategic initiatives, today no longer exist.

U.S. aircraft carrier, if open to the Yellow Sea, of course, is still the high seas, but that is to the people of the gate. 2096, the mainland may not speak, but today the situation is completely different, so the U.S. side had “flexibility.”

U.S. Defense Department said the aircraft carrier has been to the Yellow Sea last year, and this time sent out what exercises and equipment, access to which areas of the initiative is still the United States, the aircraft carrier is not into the Yellow Sea, and so on. Words as if “I have money to spend on flowers; I had no money, not spend no flowers,” is to find himself under the stairs.

Statement from Taiwan’s point of view, the PLA war preparations aimed at deterrence, delay, or even block the United States to Taiwan rush to the rescue. The United States has been Taiwan’s largest carrier with mental now seems that the days may have gone up.

But with the rich South China Sea oil and gas resources are discovered, China’s neighboring countries in the South China Sea have claimed “sovereignty.” The South China Sea disputes and more power struggles behind the shadow, the United States and other countries or regional groups for their own strategic purposes, and actively expand the influence of the South China Sea to try to make the South China Sea and further deepen the international level.

The paper and editorial, “advised Americans not to disturb the South China Sea water.” The editorial says, the South China Sea could have been a quiet, peaceful, but the U.S. government has to deliberate trouble.

In this regard, Yang warned that not to be the territory of neighboring countries, the right to dispute the sea expanded to international events, not to accept the U.S. proposed multilateral negotiation model.

“Wang reported that” 26 published editorial that China’s diplomatic position has always been a firm, means are more harmonious, many of the past.

China and the U.S. dominate the situation on the peninsula, Korean unable to start a war

Jul 28

Posted by admin in Observers | Comments off

Because of the Korean Peninsula, “Tian An” incident repeated stress, while the US-ROK joint military exercises are being conducted in full swing rare scale. The United States and Han Yaowu situation in Northeast Asia will be what impact? China military exercises will also be considered as an imaginary enemy? Morning News reporters Jiu Zhe and Xie Wenti dialogue senior South Korean government think tank, Institute of Foreign Affairs, Professor Paul Jin Xinggui grown up in Dalian.

The United States to increase investment to placate South Korean military exercises

Reporter: In your opinion, this time the US-ROK joint military exercise in comparison with the previous exercise routine What is the difference?

Jinxing Gui: The US-ROK military exercise with the former models, are derived from the “Tian An” incident from happening. This time, larger than previous exercises, “Tian An” incident, the ROK hoped that allow North Korea to understand that if the North Korean military provocation, then again, the ROK-US alliance have the ability to combat.

Before the Security Council discussed the situation in the Korean Peninsula issue, the U.S. position is inconsistent with South Korea. “Tian An” incident, the South Korea hopes to put more pressure on North Korea, but at this point the attitude of the United States more cautious at first. But the United States now think that, by increasing the input of this exercise will enable the South Korean government to understand the United States supports South Korea’s attitude remains unchanged.

Reporter: “Tian An” incident on the Korean Peninsula and what impact?

Jinxing Gui: After the death of President Kim Dae-jung, the visiting North Korean delegation had an invitation to the current President Lee Myung-bak, hope he can go to North Korea visit to the North-South summit dialogue, while South Korea is also very much like high-level direct dialogue with Kim Jong Il. “Tian An” incident took place, led by Cheong Wa Dae Lee, the first South Korean military and the people did not want to target the DPRK, for which even the South Korean Defense Ministry had issued a warning.

In the “Tian An” incident in the survey, with the exclusion in addition to South Korea, the United States and China is suspect. With the gradual in-depth investigation, Cheong Wa Dae is not believed to be North Korea from the initial to gradually identify the culprit is none other than non-Korean.

Among the evidence is still some uncertainty, but assault weapon to determine if North Korea most likely. However, that did not get China, Russia, other countries support, allowing South Korean government some embarrassment.

South Korean government did not think North Korea would be so bold and reckless, South Korea’s military has so greatly humiliated, they desperately want to pass a large-scale military exercise, so people look at their strength.

North Korea and South Korea have no power to wage war

Reporter: South Korea has no worries over the US-ROK military exercise will give North Korea a huge boost, so that the DPRK respond to extreme, lead to escalation of tension, there we all want to see the situation, even the possibility of war?

Jinxing Gui: If China and the United States against the outbreak of the Korean Peninsula is not the Civil War. North Korea and South Korea is in fact no power to start a war. Korean War 50 years of the 20th century, but also because of the involvement of external forces only labeled as.

North Korea’s present economic and military power are not enough to pose a threat to South Korea, but North Korea has nuclear weapons, and this is the surrounding countries and the United States are not willing to see.

Reporter: U.S. and South Korea to pressure North Korea through military exercises, hoping to achieve what purpose?

Jinxing Gui: The purpose of the United States is very clear, hope exercise pressure to force North Korea back to six-party talks at the negotiating table, to contain North Korean nuclear weapons development program, which is also consistent with the interests of US-ROK alliance.

After U.S. and South Korea are also very hopeful that the talks, dialogue, so that North Korea abandon its nuclear weapons program, but unfortunately this approach for now is a sterile, U.S. and South Korea have already lost patience with North Korea, it also hopes to change a means of warning the DPRK by a large-scale military exercises, its pressure, thereby allowing the DPRK to make concessions in order to maintain the Korean Peninsula, Northeast Asia and stability.

Reporter: Do you think the way to exercise pressure on the dialogue more effective than What?

Jinxing Gui: I can only hope that exercise pressure on North Korea make concessions, but it is really difficult.

The Korean Peninsula nuclear issue, the situation remains critical

Reporter: In your opinion, this exercise will be the Korean Peninsula to have any effect?

Jinxing Gui: The situation in the Korean peninsula, involving South Korea, North Korea, China, the United States and other interests of all parties.

By the US-ROK military exercise is to force North Korea back to negotiating table and make concessions, to curb its nuclear development, but North Korea will not easily give up this point, so the key to the future direction of the peninsula, or the nuclear issue.

After the exercise, if North Korea still refuses to give up nuclear weapons and the international community to continue its assistance if the situation on the Korean Peninsula is difficult to alleviate.

Korea for the exercises, the views of the situation in the peninsula itself is varied, South Korea has the ability to develop its own nuclear weapons if North Korea continues to insist on developing nuclear weapons, South Korean people feel the pressure and in dangerous circumstances, it may also turn to support their development of nuclear weapons, which is concerned for the situation on the peninsula is very dangerous.

Through this exercise, on the surface there is a big difference between China, but both China and the United States, do not want to upgrade the Korean peninsula nuclear issue, and hope that the Korean Peninsula, maintain a stable state, in This point is consistent with U.S. interests.

China’s attitude to South Korea’s unexpected exercises

Reporter: in China, whether the people or the number of military leaders, believe that the US-ROK military exercise in the opportunity to test the Chinese, the Chinese Foreign Ministry has strongly and repeatedly against the military exercises that position, how do you view China’s position?

Jinxing Gui: I think “to China as the imaginary enemy” argument is a misunderstanding. South Korea’s first deployment of the military exercises, there is no well-considered attitude to China, Korea, government officials and military leadership also had no idea China’s attitude is so strong, which makes some unexpected Korea.

The main exercise area, previously expected by the West Sea (Yellow Sea) transferred to the East Sea (Sea of Japan), but also to South Korean people feel a bit awkward. The Korean case, the site selection in the west, the purpose is to give Korea a greater deterrent.

70s in the 20th century, there have been a U.S. military officer killed in the incident, denied that Kim Il Sung as the DPRK is, when the U.S. and South Korea chose to hold military exercises in the East China to pressure North Korea.

The “Tian An” incident severity of a greater impact than that, the past is in the East China Sea exercises, this time South Korea will hope to go further, to the exercise site on the West Sea. South Korea to consider standing position, the ROK does not want to pose a threat to China.

In fact the first U.S. aircraft carrier did not want to participate in the exercises, South Korea in order to have a greater deterrent against North Korea only strongly urge the carrier to the. But if the United States to use this exercise to test the Chinese words, but also a possibility, but this is not the purpose of the ROK.

China’s South China Sea, Yellow Sea, including the exercise involved in the issue, have been implicated with the interests of the United States. Prior to the United States is not clear China’s “line” drawn on where to use this exercise, they see China’s tough attitude, but also the concept of China’s core interests more clearly.

Reporter: What do you think of this exercise would result in Sino-ROK relations rift Why?

Jinxing Gui: China-ROK relations and the development of friendship is necessary, but by the “Tian An” incident of the two governments, two people’s feelings a little hurt, I hope to eliminate misunderstanding through dialogue between the two governments.

Jul 25

Posted by admin in China, United States | Comments off

South China Sea will be held in Hanoi, Vietnam before the ASEAN Regional Forum Foreign Ministers Meeting of the prominent issues is the focus of the Chinese delegation a concern. Because the United States and other countries before and during the meeting in a series of developments that are expected to make the Chinese have. Sure enough, the U.S. did not listen to the advice of the Chinese, launched an attack at the meeting was. U.S. Secretary of State under Clinton, pre-prepared script, talking about the South China Sea with the U.S. national interest, to talk about the importance of maintaining freedom of navigation in the South China Sea and the urgency of the South China Sea issue to talk about opposition to “coercion,” oppose the use of force or use of force threats and so on. This looks like the speech is in fact fair to attack China, is in the South China Sea to the international community create a very worrisome situation in the fans like.

In order to safeguard China’s sovereignty and legitimate rights and interests, to promote the sound of the South China Sea issue through bilateral negotiations between the cable properly resolve to maintain the stability of the South China Sea, Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi made a statement and talk about coherent, well-thought. Yang Jiechi way through the questions and elaborated China’s stance and proposition to expose some people to promote the South China Sea issue international conspiracy.

Yang said, we must first look at the situation in the South China Sea in the end is peace, stability, or nervous? In today’s discussion, most people say the situation is peaceful. In my ASEAN and other countries with bilateral talks, everyone says that do not have any threat to regional peace and stability of the situation.

Second, the South China Sea between China and ASEAN is the problem? The answer is no. China and some ASEAN countries have disputes over territorial and maritime rights and interests, because China and they are neighbors. Not because these countries are ASEAN members, we must say that the dispute between China and the ASEAN. ASEAN countries in the non-sound cable, said the Chinese side, they are not controversial side, do not want to stand in the hope that through bilateral consultation.

Third, countries in the South China Sea region is a consensus on what? Consensus is that the peaceful settlement of disputes through friendly consultations in order to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea, to maintain good-neighborly and friendly. “Code of Conduct on South China Sea” (DOC) of the spirit is to exercise restraint, not to the South China Sea issue international, multilateral. Can not ignore the fact that the parties discussed the current channels, the problem already exists and is smooth.

Fourth, the “Code of Conduct on South China Sea,” What is the role? Its role is to enhance mutual trust between relevant countries, for the final settlement of the dispute and create favorable conditions and good atmosphere. China and ASEAN issued a “Code of Conduct on South China Sea,” and already has a joint working group discussions, the conditions are ripe when the senior officials will also be held.

Fifth, the South China Sea to liberty and security of international navigation something wrong? Apparently not. The region’s international trade has developed rapidly in many countries, China has become the region’s largest trading partner. Some countries can not increase exports to China, not because of barriers to freedom of navigation, but because of the high-tech product exports set a high barrier.

Sixth, in the South China Sea on the issue of “coercion” is the intention? China has always advocated that all countries are equal. As a big country has its own legitimate concerns, are the legitimate concerns expressed is the stress it? This is not true. Daoshi the South China Sea States was non-audio cable stress they stand in the South China Sea issue was offensive.

Seventh, the issue will be international, multilateral what will happen? This can only make matters worse, more difficult to solve. International practice shows that the best solution of these disputes are parties to a dispute between the direct bilateral negotiations. The rise of Asia, with their dignity, the Asian countries to equal treatment, mutual respect, resolve each other’s concerns.

Uproar did not think the organizers of the South China Sea issue, the conference provided a declaration for the South China Sea issue China’s claims platform. After the meeting, 10 representatives of several Asian countries, congratulations to the Chinese side. They said that the speech of Foreign Minister Yang Asian long ambition, proud of it. Foreign Minister Yang is the “heart” in talking to them on the policy of the South China Sea and China have a more clear understanding.
