American expert: Chinese landing capabilities have become a threat to Asia

Chinese amphibious capabilities are no longer frivolous and are truly threatening neighboring countries, says former US Navy officer Grant Newsham, quoted by the Hong Kong-based Asia Times. With new features, the Celestial Empire no longer intends to play the "good guy."

American expert: Chinese landing capabilities have become a threat to Asia




"Beijing’s large landing ships, such as the UDKs of the 071 projects and, especially, the 075 project, essentially overthrow American power in the region, which lasted for decades," the military expert said.

From the material:

From now on, not only Taiwan or the Senkaku Islands are threatened (the Chinese name is Diaoydao, approx. “VO”), but also Indonesia, where anti-Chinese pogroms periodically take place. Now Beijing has the opportunity to defend compatriots not only in words but also in deeds.

This hidden threat, which will be correctly interpreted in all the capitals of the region, the author notes. They can make any demands, including recommendations to invite Chinese police to help local law enforcement officers. Or for more efficient debt collection for infrastructure facilities built by companies from the Middle Kingdom.

To counter Chinese influence, Newsham proposes to create a joint US-Australian landing force as one of the measures.

          Yeah, when mattresses climb everywhere and where necessary, and where not necessary, then this is a struggle for democracy and freedom. And all the others are a threat.

          The United States and NATO have become a threat to Europe and all progressive humanity. The title of the article is half a century ago, and has not lost its relevance to this day.

      Are minke whales not a threat on the American continent, or doesn’t they have a burden? China, it is located on its ancestral land and defends its country, but the striped military bases in Asia really pose a threat to that region.

      Well, they learned a long time ago that "it's easier to beat a dad with a herd." And why take everything upon yourself, incl. and financially, when you can strain your allies

      But they are not hypocrites. For them, and even more for their allies, the growth of power of the Chinese Navy is really a threat.
      After all, for 30 years they had no competitors in the world and then suddenly some China "asks to move", having its own views on this region. Of course, for a country that was the only superpower for the past 30 years, this is extremely unpleasant and threatens their monopoly. This is just understandable. But the "train" left. China's economy has risen and now it just can't be brushed aside

      It is good for Russia that China began to build a strong fleet. Americans will never come to terms with the threat of losing dominance at sea, so any improvement in US-Chinese relations will become impossible. Which will create the prerequisites for the formation of a full-fledged military alliance between Russia and China against the United States and NATO.

      China remembers, in China they remember how they were stuffed with drugs by representatives of enlightened Europe. In China, they did not forget that in Russia (USSR) they abandoned the Stalinist path of development, there is a certain circle of people in China who think that Russians are not worthy of their attention (respect), there are probably others. There is a lot of information. But the fact that China is longing for a "historical" revenge is a fact. Let's remember Japan, hungry for influence in the Asia-Pacific region, the events before the 1917 revolution, remember, remember the defense of the city of Blagoveshchensk on the banks of the glorious Russian Amur River from the "partners", the Chinese agents (provocateurs) in the trading ranks of Blagoveshchensk before the start of those events, its role increased, the Cossacks drove them with whips, there is such information. Some times go away, and then others come - Peace, cooperation (if, in conscience and justice, I am only for). If, I repeat the word if. Therefore, we have a difficult situation in the western direction of the legion from NATO, the scumbags from the Waffen SS - Bandera scum (HEROES OF THE NEW RUSSIAN VOLUNTARY CORPS THE HEROISK DEFENSE THE FRONTIER OF RUSSIA) Persia is going to do (cooperate), time will tell. China has its own Orthodox Christian martyrs. Chinese fanatics radicals were distinguished by exceptional atrocities when they killed Orthodox Christians. This was also. Clearly there are different times, good and bad times. Our blood also flowed like a river in our State. But they really crave revenge. There is information that the children of Chinese influential politicians live in the United States and study. There is an opinion that in our subconscious mind they play drama on purpose.

      For Russia, this is good on one side only. In the context of the confrontation between China and the United States.
      A neighbor’s strong fleet will not always be in your favor ...
