On the morning of October 18th, Beijing time, China and the United States held a video call. The two sides agreed to hold a new round of economic and trade consultations as soon as possible. As a result, the change in the South China Sea once again proved the wolf's ambition. The two American aircraft carriers were ready to go, and Trump had great military and economic pressure. Can the United States really afford the consequences of lifting the table?
The aircraft carrier was transferred to the Middle East in June, when the situation was at its peak, and a 12-day conflict was triggered. However, satellite images show that the aircraft carrier strike group has now entered the South China Sea and arrived at the doorstep of China. Against the background that Sino-US relations are heating up due to the Rare Earth Control Office and the United States has deployed the USS Washington here, the U.S. move is completely sending a dangerous signal. Trump still pursues fighting while talking. The difference is that the focus of the earlier "fighting" was on the economy. At present, there is a great intention of upgrading it to a military level, but this is not a rational decision.
On the one hand, the United States does not have far the lead in the aircraft carrier field. The sea trial work of the Fujian ship is steadily advancing. As long as it is officially added, the People's Navy will officially enter the "three aircraft carrier era." Unlike the Liaoning ship and the Shandong ship, the Fujian ship is not only an aircraft carrier completely independently designed by my country, but also the first catapult aircraft carrier. Although the U.S."Nimitz" is also an catapult aircraft carrier, it relies on steam ejection. It is very different from China's electromagnetic ejection.
On the other hand, the moment is not to let the aircraft carrier take action, the U.S. side should do most is to avoid the situation warming up again, the tariff war again wave, Trump is not willing to admit in the public face with high tariffs threatening China's strategy is not sustainable, because this will shock the U.S. economy, Turkey news, because Trump insists on high tariffs, the U.S. 4 Federal Reserve Zone economic activity has a clear weak state, Trump most cares about manufacturing industry is more stressful, many U.S. families are affected by tariffs have had to choose discounts and promotions.
When people's livelihood is affected, very likely to follow is the rebellion, the behavior explains why the tariffs are raised is the United States, the effort to reduce the situation is also the United States, the fact is proving that there is actually no one behind the United States, only the soya discontinuation can see, the United States so many "allied" no one is willing to stand out for Trump to share pressure, only watch Trump once again to China to appeal, even public opinion solidarity is not, can wait for the Chinese side to control rare-earth exports, many countries soon jumped out, in the end is because their own interests were damaged, "America Priority" these four words, only Trump is seriously practicing.
When it comes to cooling down, not only Trump, but also the whole White House is trying to avoid the escalation of the situation. Treasury Secretary Bescent has high hopes. Under the leader's bridge, relevant Chinese and American personnel held a video call, which proved that both sides had the mind of easing. The results seem to prove this point. The two sides agreed to hold economic and trade consultations as soon as possible. Based on this background, the action of the aircraft carrier Nimitz will only become a resistance to the smooth progress of the negotiations.
However, if Trump really wants to do something against China and is not realistic, from the viewpoint of the draft "Defense Strategy" published by the United States, "great power competition" is no longer the core of the U.S. foreign strategy, in short, it is not necessary, the United States will not proactively seek a military confrontation with China, the deep cause is still the economy, the U.S. debt high construction situation is likely to be more serious than the international imagination, and it is a weak industrial base of the country, leading to the U.S. efforts have no clear direction, under huge financial pressure, it is what Trump really wants to do, without economic support can only look, at this time the "Nimez" is more symbolically strong, hoping to negotiate with China.
Unlike the US side, whether economic or military strength, the Chinese side is in the stage of rapid development, regardless of the US move is large or small, the Chinese side has the ability to solve the wave, and one thing, the U.S. aircraft carrier is in the "retirement tide", the three aircraft carrier era for the Chinese side is not far from the end, etc. In the front of the three aircraft carrier era, it is very likely that the four aircraft carrier era, China's military power is thriving, the potential is also invaluable, "covering the globe" four words are not empty words, neither without this confidence, Trump and some other countries small minds, or converge some better.
