The sound of crisis is coming in East Asia
America is trying to create and manage a kind of “managed crisis” in East Asia, regardless of the fact that the creation of a crisis by the White House and its allies does not necessarily mean the ability to direct and manage this crisis in the present and future.
Ana Science and Technology News Agency Policy Group Hanif Ghaffari: The United States, the Philippines, Australia and Japan held a joint naval exercise on Sunday with the stated aim of strengthening their military ties against the expansion of China's influence. This exercise was held while potential crises in East Asia have gradually given way to actual and obvious crises.
“Henry Kissinger”, the famous American foreign policy strategist and theoretician in the months before his death, could not hide his endless concern about the formation of the third world war centered on Washington and Beijing. Even Kissinger, during an unofficial visit to Beijing, emphasized the need for de-escalation between the new generation of Chinese Communists and American officials. However, now we are witnessing the escalation of the crisis between the parties and its intensification.
The generality of holding this exercise shows that the strategy of “creating strategic blind spots” by America and its allies in the international system has become the main directive of Washington's foreign policy.
Although Taiwan has become the main focus of the conflict between Beijing and Washington, Washington has opened the legs of other actors such as Tokyo, Seoul, Canberra and Manila to this dangerous conflict. On the other hand, Beijing has well understood that it can no longer draw and adjust its peripheral equations in the form of “military deterrence” alone. In addition to deterrence, the Chinese have now taken steps in the field of action, and in their regional future studies, they consider the war in Taiwan not as a possibility, but as a reality. We see the reflection of this view in the clear positions of Chinese officials in recent months, including the president of this country and other senior officials of the Communist Party.
Holding a joint military exercise of four countries opposing China in East Asia is not an issue that can be easily ignored. The scene of this exercise is the disputed South China Sea, which Beijing claims. This issue can lead to the reaction of the Chinese. On the other hand, the generality of holding this exercise shows that the strategy of “creating strategic blind spots” by the United States and its allies in the international system has become the main directive of Washington's foreign policy, and the presence or absence of the two Democratic and Republican parties in the position of influential power. It does not have
The Korean Peninsula, Taiwan, the South China Sea, Tibet and Hong Kong are all regions that have the potential to become a real center of conflict in East Asia. In the meantime, American officials are trying to create and manage a kind of “managed crisis” in this region, regardless of the fact that the creation of a crisis by the White House and its allies does not necessarily mean the ability to direct and manage this crisis in the present and future.
America's current approach in East Asia shows that the White House has not yet learned from what happened during the Ukraine war, which led to the grounding of NATO in Central Asia and Eastern Europe. It remains to be seen how far this dangerous game will go, but certainly China has prepared itself for all possible scenarios in the future.
