Since early June has been on the U.S. aircraft carrier battle groups into the Yellow Sea about the news of the exercise, affects, the United States, South Korea Multi-Neural. Recently, from the South Korean military sources, the U.S. “Washington,” the carrier will no longer enter the Yellow Sea, the move to start the exercises in the Sea of Japan. For decades, the U.S. aircraft carrier has always been like a ghost wandering around in China. “Washington” is not the first one, nor is the last one came close to China, the U.S. aircraft carriers offshore. The next time the U.S. carriers do come, the Chinese how to deal with? This is for the United States is particularly important for both sides.
U.S. aircraft carrier has always been regarded as military, diplomatic and strategic deterrence symbol. For China, from time to time in the surrounding waters of the U.S. aircraft carrier, the mostly play “disgraceful” role. 90′s of last century to the early 21st century, the U.S. aircraft carrier to China on many occasions as the leading military deterrence.
In the new century, with the continuous improvement of Sino-US relations, though in the Yellow Sea, East China Sea, South China Sea or the Taiwan Strait from time to time a “Kitty Hawk”, “Ronald Reagan” was, “Lincoln”, “John – John C. Stennis” number, and “Washington” and other aircraft carrier in the figure, but the U.S. aircraft carrier arrived in the Chinese coastal areas decreased significantly in recent action, deterrence means diminished. However, the aircraft carrier in the two countries, developments in military relations still play a special “wind vane” effect. U.S. aircraft carrier battle group and the distance along the Chinese coast, China is allowing U.S. aircraft carrier docked in Hong Kong, can be a reflection of the two big countries China-US strategic intention and game results.
The parties to the U.S. “Washington” into the Yellow Sea, the carrier is concerned, its essence is far beyond the scope of the exercise. In fact, a long time, the U.S. aircraft carrier battle group in the Yellow Sea almost every year there, or near the Korean peninsula and South Korea to conduct an annual exercise, or to combat cruise, except that the distance from China’s territorial waters. This time, “Washington” aircraft carrier finally decided not to come to the Yellow Sea, both of their busy schedule exercise factors, but also the Chinese government issued a rare statement of the reasons for continuous. U.S. aircraft carrier on maneuvers clearly opposition, which is rare in the history of Sino-US relations.
Through the “Yellow Sea exercise event” appearance, is behind the emerging U.S. “aircraft carrier dilemma”, that China’s marine rights and interests as the continued development and accelerating the process of naval modernization, China’s urgent need to build a reliable sea “security arc” to protect coastal economic zone to build aircraft carrier “restricted” to become the first choice for the military; the United States is still trying to the maintenance of the cold war with China since the “blockade Circle”, the aircraft carrier battle group is to exert military pressure on the U.S. choice for. From a strategic perspective, Sino-US maritime “security arc” and “blocking ring” of the collision is almost inevitable, U.S. “aircraft carrier and anti-aircraft carrier,” no doubt the game will be intensified.
Called on the army attack plan, crack “aircraft carrier dilemma,” the best policy, the preferred “war”, we should first clear the core interest of China’s coastal areas (such as being called the “gateway of Beijing and Tianjin”, “Sulu hinterland”, “Security Weaknesses “The Yellow Sea hinterland), the U.S. aircraft carrier to upgrade to the emergence of the strategic dimensions of Sino-US relations, the United States to exert political and diplomatic pressure, forcing it to give up.
When the simple “war” has failed, to take second choice, that “war and war preparation” in the United States through political and diplomatic means to pressure the same time, make preparations for the military response, such as important strategic facilities along the coast to prepare anti-reconnaissance strengthen the tracking and monitoring the U.S. aircraft carrier, launched in the key area targeted exercises.
If the U.S. aircraft carrier despite strong opposition from China arrived in force near the Chinese coast, on China’s sovereignty and security pose a major threat to China, while strengthening the monitoring, implementation strategies should be timely anti-deterrence: on the one hand, the strategic missile submarine into the ocean the default position, land-based long-range missiles to enhance combat readiness level; the other hand, the U.S. aircraft carrier battle group to maintain sufficient military pressure on the aircraft carrier through deterrence and eventually reach the United States against the strategic goal of deterrence.
