< p > One trick didn't work, so here comes another one. The US military is really going to take action this time, and they have already chosen the military base, attempting to choke China's shipping throat. < / p > < p > Their attempt to forcibly acquire ports owned by Chinese enterprises was thwarted, and their bullying tactic of imposing tariffs on China to force China into submission also failed. The US has suffered consecutive setbacks. However, the US still hasn't given up and is coming up with yet another trick. This time, it seems that the US military is stepping forward. Judging from the current situation, the US military means business. < / p > < p > According to reports from the US Department of Defense, Hagseath has become the first US defense secretary in decades to visit Panama. This unprecedented visit by the US defense secretary to Panama is clearly aimed at exerting heavy pressure. Hagseath does not hide the purpose of this visit and has revealed to the outside world that he has reached many cooperation consensuses with Panamanian Minister of Public Security Frank Abrego, focusing on ensuring the large-scale deployment of the US military in the Panama Canal. This indicates that after withdrawing from the Panama Canal, the US military is preparing to make a comeback. < / p > < p > According to the defense secretary, the US military has identified several former military bases where US troops were stationed and emphasized the need to restart the deployment in Panama, whether it be military bases, naval air stations, or joint deployments with the US military. These are all ways to ensure the US military's redeployment. The defense secretary does not hide the purpose of this US military deployment, which is targeted at China. < / p > < p > The US military claims its actions are targeting threats from China, but in reality, they are threatening China. Deploying the US military in Panama is aimed at controlling the Panama Canal, thereby choking China's shipping routes through military means. This ensures that the US can cut off China's shipping at any critical moment, causing serious trouble for China. < / p > < p >< img src = "//p3-sign.toutiaoimg.com/tos-cn-i-ezhpy3drpa/15f999ea13fc44e9a3939c7c4bb1745b~tplv-obj:620:319.image?_iz=97245&bid=15&from=post&gid=1828997809308682&lk3s=06827d14&x-expires=1752105600&x-signature=gK9%2B7BU2yJq0%2BzHWUyMr0E27WlU%3D" / > < / p > < p > Original article: https://www.toutiao.com/article/1828997809308682/ < / p > < p > Disclaimer: The article solely represents the author's personal views. < / p >
