Attacking China in the South China Sea on a bad Trump election? U.S. defense chief steps in to put out fires, experts: still need to be vigilant

Before the U.S. “Air Force” magazine has published a report, showing the U.S. military is carrying out drone tactical training activities in the Pacific Ocean, from the report pictures can be seen, the relevant air force personnel uniforms on the armband printed on the shape of a map of China in red silhouette, the silhouette printed on the U.S. military’s MQ-9 “Reaper” drone. Therefore, some international commentators believe that this is the U.S. military hawks to the U.S. President Trump, attempting to order the U.S. military to use MQ-9 drones to attack Chinese islands in the South China Sea in the event of an unfavorable election.

At a press conference with the Ministry of National Defense on October 29, some media asked spokesman Colonel Wu Qian questions about the report, and the Colonel said that U.S. Defense Secretary Jesper has made a clarification through military diplomatic channels specifically on this issue, and that the U.S. has no intention of creating a military crisis with China and is willing to establish stable military relations with China. He also warned the U.S. to stop provocative actions in the waters around China, or China will resolutely counterattack.

For the U.S. military to send drones to attack the reefs in the South China Sea, before a foreign media analysis that is not reliable, because China and the United States are nuclear-armed countries, once the U.S. military to take military action against the South China Sea reefs, then it is like a declaration of war to China, when the war will start to cause devastating damage to the two countries, so Trump in the case of unfavorable election conditions rashly provoked hot war is unlikely.

But China’s military experts put forward a different opinion, although Esper has been an emergency to put out fires, but the attack to capture the South China Sea reefs may not be in Trump’s re-election plan, the recent period of time the U.S. military has been increasing the intensity of navigation, provocative meaning more and more intense. On the 21st of this month, the U.S. Marine Corps has announced exercises in Okinawa, including the famous “island-hopping” tactics, the discerning can see the U.S. military is alluding to the South China Sea, which proves that the U.S. military seems ready to use this strategy to occupy the South China Sea islands, so experts believe that China still needs to remain on high alert at all times to avoid being false. After all, in the eyes of the United States, credibility is a waste of paper.

So we can’t rule out the possibility that Trump is jumping over the fence, he is currently in the sprint stage of the U.S. election, in domestic polls he has been comprehensively behind Biden, for the domestic increasingly rampant neo-crown epidemic he is also helpless. Trump and unwilling to give up the presidential position, only through the creation of external contradictions to divert people’s attention, and the Sino-American conflict in the United States is a hot topic, Trump may have made the U.S. military ready to point a gun at China, in short, in order to seek re-election does not rule out that he has given up the bottom line.

However, China’s doorstep will not tolerate the U.S. military, in the face of a strong enemy, the PLA has full confidence and ability to defend the integrity of the country’s territorial sovereignty, since the first half of the year, the PLA organized a number of live-fire exercises in four major sea areas, both in terms of frequency or time span, our military exercises this year’s moves are very rare. Through this muscle light is conducive to deterring potential curfews, but also a tough response to the U.S. military’s provocations in the waters around China.

In addition, under the new crown epidemic, Trump ordered the U.S. military to stir the South China Sea is tantamount to putting U.S. troops to the fire, because it is difficult to do effective quarantine measures on warships, it is easy to break out a new wave of infection, the U.S. military’s confirmed cases have exceeded 65,000, the future of this number will continue to refresh, if the U.S. military can not be at ease at home to recover, then the future may be due to the new crown epidemic caused more Unnecessary casualties, so remind Trump that he must give up the false idea of provoking a hot war between the US and China and be sure to work with China to maintain peace and stability in the region.
