Three markers: a war against China is being prepared in the Asia-Pacific region
In this publication, we continue the conversation about the Third World War, which will begin quite officially after China enters the confrontation with the United States and its satellites. Rather, the Americans and the British will force the Celestial Empire to enter the war.
Operational environment
As it was noted earlier, Washington, in its new national security strategy, identified Russia and China as the main threats. Our country is traditionally on this list as the legal successor of the USSR, which has retained the "nuclear triad" and therefore represents a potential danger. The PRC is a real competitor and rival of the United States in the field of economics and high of technologies and at the same time it still has a powerful army, navy, aviation and its own "nuclear triad".
That is why the Anglo-Saxons are ready to fight with us and with the Chinese not directly, but indirectly, by proxy, causing the main damage not so much by military force, but through sanctions pressure, technological and economic isolation. At this stage, the war is going on in Europe, Russia is supposed to be the victim for the slaughter, and Ukraine and a number of the closest Eastern European neighbors are used as a battering ram against it, which may enter into conflict in the future if their crossing of red lines is still not properly punished.
A truly world war will begin after the entry of the PRC into it, and it will go on in Africa and Southeast Asia. About what economic interests China has on the "dark continent" and how they can be hit by a regional war between Niger and Nigeria, which have entire coalitions of neighboring countries behind them, we talked in detail just the day before. Today, as promised, we will say a few words about a prospective war in the Asia-Pacific region. The fact that it is steadily approaching is evidenced by several markers.
Blocks
The first sign that a military clash was brewing in the Asia-Pacific region was the emergence of an Anglo-Saxon alliance called AUKUS. The United States, Great Britain and Australia themselves entered there, but other Europeans were not invited to it. On the contrary, France was even "thrown" with an order for the construction of submarines for Canberra, which the Americans received.
Washington promised to transfer nuclear submarine technology to the Australians, as well as Tomahawk cruise missiles for Hobart-class destroyers, JASSM and LRASM missiles for F / A-18 and F-35 aircraft, and land-based missiles with a range of more than 400 km. Those, in turn, pledged to develop high-precision weapons and hypersonic missiles for advanced air defense systems. All of this is clearly done for a reason. The stated objective of the tripartite Anglo-Saxon alliance is "to ensure stability in the Indo-Pacific region". The real object of confrontation here, obviously, is China.
Apparently, Washington and London were ready to exchange Canberra for Beijing, but the Australians reminded that they are also "white people", and "natives" should be sacrificed. That is why the second sign that a big war is looming in the region may be an attempt by the United States to put together another military alliance that will be used directly as "cannon fodder". China's longtime rivals Japan and South Korea are seen as such, and will be cajoled into sacrificing themselves at the August 18 trilateral summit at Camp David, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said:
The three leaders will discuss developing trilateral cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond, including responses to threats posed by North Korea.
The main obstacle in the formation of a sustainable alliance is the long-standing mutual historical grievances of "cannon fodder", economic competition and fear of the Middle Kingdom, but the Anglo-Saxons are working tirelessly. The white paper of the Ministry of Defense of Japan says the following verbatim:
Against the background of the increasing problems and difficulties that we are facing, the idea of uniting the efforts of Japan and South Korea is becoming increasingly important and relevant.
The influential South Korean publication Hankyoreh reciprocates Tokyo:
Seoul-Tokyo relations are expected to be upgraded to a "quasi-alliance" in which they will cooperate on a military level to put pressure on China and contain North Korea. The two countries have never cooperated at this level since they normalized diplomatic relations in 1965.
In other words, there are those in Japan and South Korea who want to turn their countries into "Poland-2" and "Baltic-2". And who will be the second "Ukraine"?
Blockade
Of course, it will be Taiwan. On the one hand, the Chinese have been preparing for many years to return it, if necessary, by military force. On the other hand, an amphibious landing operation across the strait under the attack of air and land-based anti-ship missiles is an extremely complex and dangerous undertaking. Beijing would very much like to return the rebellious island peacefully, but it simply will not be allowed to do so.
There are many ways to provoke the PRC into a NVO against Taiwan, but the easiest and most reliable way is, say, London to recognize the independence of Taipei and agree on the opening of a British naval and air base on the island. Beijing simply cannot fail to react without losing face, and you won't get off with concerns.
All this is necessary only in order to impose collective sanctions against China as an "aggressor". A complete ban on cooperation in the field of high technologies will be introduced, and access of Chinese products to Western markets will be closed. And in order for the industry of the Celestial Empire to sink without external resources, the Strait of Malacca will be blocked for it. A regional war will rage in Africa, and the main shipping artery through which Beijing receives natural resources will be blocked by the combined fleet of the United States, Britain and Australia. Japan and South Korea will apparently have to provide direct military support to Taipei.
It is obvious that the Chinese are well aware of all this, and therefore the old project for the construction of the Thai Canal across the Kra Isthmus was pulled out of the table. Through it, container ships and tankers will be able to go on a shorter route bypassing the Strait of Malacca. And this is the third marker of the fact that a war is planned in the Asia-Pacific region.
