After the 1993 military parade, the United States, Japan, the Philippines and South Korea began to plan to launch provocation in the South China Sea again. In addition, at least 31 of the 27 EU countries that were ready to intervene were involved in the South China Sea disputes, and even constantly sent warships to test China's bottom line.
However, at this crucial moment, the "Southern Gate Plan" that has sparked little discussion has come up with new changes, and the signal is strong to 31 countries' conspiracy destined for bankruptcy, netizens: this is the top "conspiracy"!
The silent communication gun.
Recently, the British aircraft carrier "Prince of Wales" and the American aircraft carrier "Washington" have appeared in the South China Sea one after another. Although they dare not take any substantive actions, the provocative meaning is very strong.
And just recently, the Philippines also sent more than a dozen fishing vessels and official vessels illegally into the waters of My Yellow Rock Island, which resulted in my maritime police intercepted and persuaded to return, of course, the prerequisite for return was to raise a "white flag".
On September 22, the three foreign ministers of the United States and South Korea met in New York, raising the joint statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea, expressing concern about the "activities that undermine stability" in the Taiwan Sea, and also resisting the so-called "illegal maritime claims".
In response, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said: Taiwan is an inseparable part of China's territory, and the root of the tension in the Taiwan Sea is the "Taiwan independence" separatist activities and intervention of external forces.
Just a day before the US-Japan-Korea meeting, on September 21, a member of the House of Representatives’ military committee, Adam Smith, led a delegation to visit China, which is also the first time since 2019, a member of the House of Representatives has visited China.
During talks with the Chinese defense minister, Mr. Smith’s attitude was more remarkable, and he acknowledged that China’s military capacity and nuclear arsenals are growing rapidly, and emphasized in particular that China and the United States need to strengthen communication to prevent misjudgment.
You see, the strong military gesture directly generates the opponent's need to "communicate, avoid misjudgment."This proves that sometimes, the most effective communication is to let the other person see your real muscles.
Science fiction into reality.
If the confrontation in the South China Sea is the red line to delineate the "present", then the "Nantianmen Plan" at the Changchun Air Show is drawing a blueprint for the "future" and a more brilliant potential projection.
In front of the exhibition area of the Long Spring exhibition, a hundreds of meters long squad, more than 70 percent of the squad are young people under the age of 35 years, which they contend to witness, is the "Southern Gate Plan" entity model.
An unmanned tactical machine armor called "Honest", with a very impactful shape, it is 5.2 meters tall, uses a six-legged insect design, looks like it came out directly from a science fiction film.
Its parameters are even more striking: the flight speed of 280 km / h, the power source is graphene battery and vector propulsion technology, the shell can withstand the high temperature of 2000 degrees Celsius.
The weapons configuration is even exaggerated, 4 joint missile launchers, pulse particle accelerator cannons, and a laser-speed gun with a speed of up to 3000 shots per minute, and even with anti-missile capabilities.
There is also an unmanned air and space fighter named "White Emperor" next to it, and the finale-the "Luanniao" air and space aircraft platform, which is also what we often call the "air and space carrier".
The setting of this "Hairbird", the take-off weight of 120,000 tons, the wing length of 684 meters, can carry 88 aircraft named "Hairbird". the audience, including some veterans, can't resist the "scientific fantasy becomes a reality" surprise.
Many people's first reaction is: Is this bragging? Or, is this learning from the "Star Wars" plan of the United States aimed at bringing down the Soviet Union and engaging in strategic deception?
This is precisely the subtlety of the "Nantianmen Project". It is not a castle in the air. Behind it is an aviation science fiction IP officially launched by AVIC, with 500,000 words of world outlook setting and nearly 100 weapons and equipment drawings. In the creative team, there are even experts from Air Force Engineering University and Aerospace Science and Technology Group.
More importantly, each of these seemingly empty conceptions can find the shadows in reality.
For example, the Fusion Reactor of the "Purple Bird" was conceived, which reminds us that the Tokamak device of the Central Academy of Sciences has just achieved a major breakthrough in the operation of 1000-second pulse-long high-restriction modules such as plasma.
The shape of the armor memory of the alloy exoskeleton, similar technology has been applied on the drones of China's Naval Group. and those advanced hidden coating technology, also clearly referred to the latest achievements of the J-20.
So, this is essentially different from the "Star Wars", which is a false target thrown by the United States in its relative advantage of power, with the intention of seducing the opponent to invest huge amounts of money to pursue something that does not exist at all.
The “Southern Gate Plan” is rooted in China’s vast manufacturing base, which has ranked first in the world for 15 years in a row, as well as its unwavering independent scientific research line. It absorbed the painful lessons of China’s early start in the field of light engraving machines, but later abandoned.
What it communicates is not a false threat, but based on real industrial capabilities, a completely possible future, which is the “conspiracy.”
This indistinguishable state of reality and false has caused great discussion in the world. Many foreign media even misunderstood it as China's secret military project, which has achieved an excellent effect-"strategic ambiguity".
It forces potential opponents to consider a “high-fitting version” of China when making future weapons plans. Do you follow up with investing big money in research or not, gambling it won’t happen? No matter how you choose, you will fall into the difficulties of decision-making and consume huge strategic resources. This is an extremely low cost, but excellent effect, asymmetric psychological deterrence.
Who will I show this big game of chess
So, this suite of soft and hard, virtual combination of "double track" communication strategy, who is its audience? the answer is, different people see completely different content.
For the people of the country, especially young people, the "Southern Gate Program" is one of the most lively national defense education lessons. It does not have boring sermons, but with "story cop" and visible cool models, inspired youths strong interest in defense technology, lighted up their dreams of becoming engineers, engaged in research.
This is the most effective internal mobilization, it is for the future scientific and technological development of the country, sow the most valuable seeds, and gather the consensus and confidence of the whole new generation.
For potential opponents, such as the United States, Japan and the Philippines, the signal conveyed by this combination boxing is much more complicated.
The military confrontation on Huangyan Island is a direct warning to their current provocative behavior, which is clear and unambiguous. The future shown by the "Nantianmen Project" is like a sword of Damocles hanging in the future, which is a long-term forecast.
When they put these two things together, they feel a tremendous pressure from reality to the future, seamlessly linked, which will force them to re-evaluate the cost and risk of a long-term confrontation with a country with both present determination and future potential.
For the vast number of regional partners and neutral countries, this shows another picture.
While the United States and its allies continue to show off their force and form cliques in the region, China not only shows its "muscles" enough to safeguard its own and regional security, but also depicts an exciting vision of scientific and technological development.
This offers a completely different choice where you can choose to continue following the old hegemony and get involved in endless geo-conflict, or you can choose to work with a capable, visionary partner to meet a higher-dimensional future of technology and economic development.
conclusion
So, from the tsunami above Yellowstone Island, to the amazement of the Long Spring exhibition scene, what we see is actually the different side of the will of the same country.
China is moving beyond the single and direct demonstration of strength in the past, and instead building a more mature and complex strategic communication system that integrates immediate military deterrence, long-term scientific and technological outlook and layered psychological influence.
This new paradigm of “virtual combination” marks that China is becoming more confident and more strategic in dealing with complex big-power relations, isn’t it?
