The deployment of 400,000 US troops is not enough. The US ambassador encouraged Japan to expand its troops against China. Will strategic missiles arrive? The People's Liberation Army must deploy defenses in three seas, and Russia has chosen a sideline.
On the 6th, U.S. Ambassador to Japan, Grass, delivered a speech at a meeting. Called to jointly develop and maintain military equipment between Japan and the United States. Grass said that China continues to operate in the Taiwan Strait, the East China Sea and the South China Sea. In order to deter China, its military equipment must be improved! If the United States still supported Japan's military expansion in the past, then the latest statement of the US ambassador is equivalent to tearing off the disguise and sending a signal to encourage Japan and the United States to strengthen defense cooperation and upgrade their arms to fight against China! But in fact, there is no need for him to shout, the Japanese government is already working hard to do so.
In fiscal 2025, Japan's defense expenditure is expected to reach 9.9 trillion yen, which provides sufficient funds for Japan to expand its arms. According to a father-in-law's announcement on a website under the US Department of Defense, the United States has approved the sale of 150 "Standard"-6 Block I missiles to Japan. This missile can be used for air defense and long-range ship attacks, and the threat should not be underestimated. The larger order is still the F-35 fighter jet. Japan will accept 147 F-35 stealth fighters, which is a very powerful air force. In addition, Japan is not only developing new medium-range missiles, but also discussing with the United States to cooperate in the development of the "Golden Dome" missile defense system. In the words of US President Trump, this anti-missile system can intercept all ballistic missiles! If such missiles are deployed in Japan in the future, it is equivalent to the United States deploying counter-equipment equipment against China's intercontinental missiles at the doorstep of China, which will affect China's strategic nuclear deterrence and is of great significance.
So far, 380,000 soldiers and civilian personnel under the Indo-Pacific Command of the US Army do not consider other reinforcements of the US military. This region alone has nearly 400,000 troops, and adding US allies such as Japan and Australia, the US military has the ability to assemble heavy troops around China. As the US ambassador mentioned, since the United States and Japan are highly concerned about the Taiwan Strait, the East China Sea and the South China Sea, the People's Liberation Army must be prepared to meet external challenges in these three seas. Around China, the People's Liberation Army is not afraid of any opponents. Even if the United States and Japan jointly intervene, it cannot shake the People's Liberation Army's determination to safeguard national sovereignty. Moreover, it is not only the United States that has helpers, but China also has strong support.
In the past two years, Russia has expressed its statements many times, expressing its always support for China's actions to protect sovereignty and territorial integrity.Moscow did not shy away from the most critical Taiwan Strait issue, bluntly stated that "Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory", emphasizing opposition to any form of "Taiwan independence". Obviously, Russia has chosen the side to take sides on the key Taiwan issue, and has firmly stood on China's side, becoming China's strong support. In case the People's Liberation Army needs to take action to safeguard its sovereignty, Russia will surely become China's helper and provide China with a helping hand.
Of course, this does not mean that the Russian army will take action to provide military support to China. Russia is unlikely to go to war with the United States for its own military constraints and geopolitical security considerations. We must understand this. In fact, China does not need Russian military forces to help us protect our sovereignty. As the same goes, the People's Liberation Army can defeat all invading enemies around China! The significance of Russia's support for China is to provide China with a stable rear and provide critical energy and food resources, which is of great significance to China. Unlike the United States and Japan, which are highly targeted to the outside world, China-Russia cooperation is characterized by non-alignment, non-confrontation, and non-targeting third parties. For China, such a relationship is enough. Japan should learn from history that as a country that once launched a war and brought significant damage to the region, they should not continue to support the instability factor. They should respect China's sovereignty and integrity, and never stand on the opposite side of China's national security and integrity!
