What is clear is that the United States regards China as its main competitor, but the United States does not have the ability to fight alone. It can only form gangs to strengthen the camp. Therefore, the United States continues to suppress Russia, in the final analysis, to regain Europe and integrate allies.
Recently, the website of the Russian media “Kommersant” published an article titled “The new US government launches a diplomatic offensive against China.” The article pointed out that Biden and his team have decided to fight against China in the Indo-Pacific region, which is confirmed by Washington’s recent intensified activities in the Indo-Pacific region.
The four-sided mechanism of “U.S., Japan, India, Australia” introduced by Trump was used by Biden. On March 12, the leaders of the four countries of the United States, Japan, India and Australia held an online meeting. Although the US President’s National Security Affairs Assistant Sullivan stated that the leaders of the four countries did not focus the talks on China, and emphasized that the four-sided mechanism is not a military alliance, let alone a “new NATO,” the relevant parties believe that Biden’s India The Tai strategy was formulated to suppress China.
At the summit of the leaders of the four countries, the leaders of the four countries still inevitably mentioned the so-called “freedom of navigation” in the East China Sea and the South China Sea. Judging from the plans of the Biden administration, the four-party security dialogue still has a follow-up.
According to Japanese media reports, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga will hold talks with Biden in April this year. According to reports, the United States and Japan will discuss further strengthening the Japan-US alliance and realizing a free and open Indo-Pacific. Japanese media also pointed out that the Japanese and US governments will name “criticize China” in the documents released after the Japan-US “2+2 talks”.
The U.S. values Japan so much, doesn’t it mean that it has taken its special geographical position, or its historical contradiction with China. Japan has been so actively cooperating with the United States, and even rarely “criticized” China by name, which shows that Japan has officially stood in line.
The United States stirred up the situation in the Indo-Pacific region, and countries in the region had to start choosing sides. After the Quartet Security Dialogue is over, US Secretary of Defense Austin will also visit India. Containing China will become one of the topics of the US Secretary of Defense’s visit. In the Trump era, Pompeo tried his best to set off fire during his visit to India, but at that time India was lacking in interest. Now that the United States is back to contain China, how should Modi stand in line?
Modi should know that after experiencing the impact of the epidemic, continuing to provoke border conflicts will only bring down India, and the United States will not benefit India much. If India wants to undertake industrial transfer, instead of relying on the United States, it is better to rely on Chinese investment.
In addition to India, Singapore is also stuck in a team problem. According to Reuters, Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said in an interview on the 14th local time that there is a considerable risk of aggravation of tensions between China and the United States, and military conflicts may even break out, although this possibility is unlikely.
When asked how Singapore will choose sides between China and the United States, Lee Hsien Loong said, “I hope this moment will not come. Under normal circumstances, we hope that both countries will be friends.” Cooperation between China and the United States will benefit both, but the United States refuses to give up its inherent hegemonic thinking. This will not only cause damage to the United States itself, but also put great pressure on other countries in the Indo-Pacific region.
And when the United States began to concentrate on targeting China, Russia, which has been in a difficult situation, also began to fight back.
According to the Russian Satellite News Agency, the Russian Security Conference announced that the Secretary of the Security Conference will visit Vietnam to consult with Vietnam on cooperation in the security field.
With the current international situation, Vietnam’s position is extremely special. Trump attaches great importance to Vietnam and has repeatedly pressured Vietnam with the intention of allowing US troops to station in Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam. However, the United States did not achieve this goal until Trump stepped down. Since Biden has inherited Trump’s Indo-Pacific strategy, Vietnam is also very likely to become the target of the Biden administration.
Russia originally had a deep relationship with Vietnam, and during the Soviet era, it gave Vietnam a lot of military support. At this time, when visiting Vietnam, it is quite a bit of a strong start.
At the same time, Germany once again released goodwill to Russia. According to the Russian Satellite News Agency, the German Bundestag emphasized that in order to ensure the security of energy supply, Germany cannot rely on a few energy suppliers and must complete the “North Stream 2 Project.”
The United States took great pains to disrupt the “North Stream 2” project. From Trump to Biden, the United States has dragged the suspension of the North Stream 2 project for several years. It now appears that Germany has shown its goodness to the United States. In the face of Germany’s key interests, Germany still does not buy the United States. Regardless of the United States’ aggressive sanctions on Russia, once the “North Stream 2” project is completed, it will bring incalculable benefits to Russia.
In summary, the US recession is an inevitable trend, and the US does not have enough energy to deal with China and Russia at the same time. The United States stretches out two fists at the same time, the left hand hits harder, and the right hand will withstand a new attack.
