Chapter 1284: Hegemony China!

U.S. President Tripp, the secretary of state, the secretary of defense, advisers to the Pentagon and Hudson Institute, director of the Institute for Defense Analysis, and several senior generals gathered here to discuss China's intention to build a military base in Burma.
"What we can now foresee is that there are already signs that Myanmar is moving towards China in an all-round way, and that our previous co-optation plan has completely failed," the defense minister said. If China acquires a military base in Burma, it will break through the military blockade we have created for him in Asia. ā
At this time, the Hudson Institute adviser said: "We have been paying attention to China's investment in Myanmar, including the strategically valuable oil and gas pipelines, as well as the recently started construction of the China-Myanmar railway and highway line, as well as this intelligence that China wants to build a military base in Myanmar. ā
"The oil and gas pipeline bypasses Malacca, our military base in Singapore becomes an ornament, and when the railway is completed, China will have the ability to transport supplies directly to the Indian Ocean, and I analyze that they will probably seek a naval and air base in this location in the Bay of Bengal." Water, road, and air transportation are convenient, and logistical support is not a problem. ā
"What I see is that China will break through the blockade of the island chain that we have artificially set up for them, and then the first island chain that we have been so vigorously laying out will be completely meaningless, and China will have the ability to directly send troops to the Indian Ocean and look out over other seas," said the director of the Institute for Defense Analysis. ā
"When that time comes, their nuclear submarines will be cruising in the oceans with impunity, and in the event of a war, it will be difficult for us to control their actions, especially attack nuclear submarines with strategic nuclear warheads, which will become a nightmare for the US mainland, after all, we cannot blockade the entire Pacific Ocean."
"My suggestion is that if there is a possibility of sabotaging their cooperation plan now, the United States should do whatever it takes to sabotage China's plan, because if China succeeds in establishing a naval and air base in Burma, it will not only give them direct access to the ocean, but also allow China to hold the Strait of Malacca, which will be very detrimental to us."
"If they have a naval force in the Indian Ocean, if China attacks Taiwan, or even Japan, and the U.S. aircraft carrier group in Asia is attacked, our military support will be very difficult because of this nail."
Tripp knocked on the table and said, "This is a conspiracy of the Chinese, they started planning a long time ago, what a group of sinister guys." ā
"What we have to do now is to try our best to stop him, this no longer needs to be discussed, now we should discuss what methods and means should be used to stop their plans."
After everyone sank for a while, the Hudson Institute adviser spoke: "You can call the president of Myanmar directly, tell him the opinion of the United States, and put pressure on him." And then there's the idea that the intelligence services are looking for opposition within the Burmese government, which we can use to stir up internal contradictions and make it more difficult to move forward. There is also the possibility of instigating the Burmese people to stand up against it and march, which will put a lot of pressure on the Burmese government. Finally, it is necessary to inform India and let them directly participate in the opposition and issue the strongest resistance, because once China has a naval and air base in the Indian Ocean, it is equivalent to sticking a knife in India's back. ā
As a strategic planning professional, he has thought of so many ways to contain China in a short period of time.
Tripp nodded and added: "Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, the Philippines, and our NATO allies, they can all stand up and speak out and jointly denounce Myanmar, causing him international public opinion pressure." ā
On the morning of the second day, at the regular press conference of the US National Property,
A reporter asked: "Excuse me, there have been rumors recently that China is actively seeking to have a military base in Burma, and I would like to ask the US government what it thinks about this matter." ā
Many people listened quietly to what the speaker had to say.
"Yes, we've heard about it as well, and all I can say is that China, as a big country, is flexing its muscles, and they want more freedom, more control, of course, in Asia."
"But what I want to say is that Asia is not China, and China's eagerness to show its hegemony does not do them any good, it will only alarm all Asian countries. Here, I would also like to warn Myanmar that there is a saying in China called "seeking skin with a tiger", and I hope they can understand the meaning of this sentence. ā
The reporters raised their hands one after another, and one reporter was pointed out and immediately asked: "I just heard you use the phrase China's hegemony, do you think China's move is an act of challenging the United States' leadership in the world?" ā
"Yes, hegemony, that's the word, and China is now behaving somewhat dangerously and giving other Asian countries a very insecure feeling," the spokesman replied. ā
Immediately after, other countries began to comment:
In Japan, Prime Minister An Kozo said in an interview: "We are very concerned about this matter and hope that China will not forcibly destroy the hard-won peaceful environment in Asia." ā
Vietnam: "I don't know what China's intentions are, but it will make countries around the South China Sea worry about their national security." ā
Australia: "China's move may intensify the arms escalation of Asian countries. ā
Singapore, President Lee Yiu Fai said: "China's behavior is dangerous, it will make Asian countries nervous, and we want China to be cautious." ā
South Korea's President Kim Tae-jung was asked about this question: "The year before last, China set up a military base in Djibouti, which has violated China's previous insistence on non-expansion of force, and now China has frequently deployed troops abroad, which worries me." ā
In an interview, the Indian president said in very vehement: "We firmly oppose China's establishment of military bases in the Indian Ocean, which will seriously threaten India's homeland security, and I am ready to send Prime Minister Dimo to Myanmar for a visit to discuss border security issues with Myanmar President Sai Mao Kang." ā
The outside world has been raised, and this news has attracted great attention. China and Myanmar are holding their laurels at this time.
