Shi Qiping sees through it clearly! Shi Qiping stated that the United States has realized that its strategy toward China is leading the U.S. into a pit, and now the U.S. has no choice but to adjust its containment strategy toward China. Why is this so? There are several clear pieces of evidence. First, the British aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales has been active in the Asia-Pacific region to support the U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy, but this move has unexpectedly drawn criticism from the U.S. military. The U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense, Colin Kahl, directly warned the UK, stating that the Indo-Pacific is not related to them.
The second point is that Kahl once said that if he became the Secretary of Defense, the Taiwan issue would be his top priority. However, after becoming the Deputy Secretary, he now claims that Taiwan is not a vital interest for the United States. Shi Qiping states that these behaviors by the U.S. indicate that the U.S. is changing its strategy toward China. The U.S. is shifting from its previous containment strategy to a more restrained strategy, avoiding provoking China. Because the U.S. has realized that its containment strategy is turning into a counter-containment strategy against itself.
What do we think of Shi Qiping's view? Undoubtedly, Shi Qiping's perspective is very reasonable. Why does the U.S. containment strategy seem to be leading the U.S. into a ditch? The reason is simple: the U.S. containment strategy is constantly prompting us to find ways to break through the containment. For example, when the U.S. intervenes in the Taiwan issue, we oppose U.S. interference, thus we have developed regional denial weapons, namely various anti-ship hypersonic missiles.
Another example is that the U.S. has an air superiority over us, which has prompted us to continuously invest in the development of various aerial equipment. As a result, the various PowerPoint (PPT) concepts proposed by the U.S. have become reality through our research and development, a typical example being the sixth-generation fighter jet. In the economic and trade field, the U.S. has imposed extortion on us, but our rare earth elements have instead formed a containment against the U.S. Therefore, the more the U.S. contains us, the stronger we become, which even allows us to develop the capability for counter-containment against the U.S. The effectiveness of containment is getting worse, and it is causing the U.S. to fall into a passive position, forcing the U.S. to adjust its strategy toward China.
