I have been studying the latest reports about China and the Pacific countries. The rhetoric and military actions of the Chinese have gone up much higher in their pitch and numbers, indicating a possible early action against Taiwan.

Secretary of State Anthony Blinken’s threats are meaningless. Not a single rational leader on Earth takes Biden or his administration seriously. After all, they watch Biden under a microscope (where he belongs) every minute of the day, and they are coming to the same conclusion as most Americans; Biden is NOT in command of the White House.

Every rational observer has come to the perfectly correct conclusion that the Chinese leaders intend to make China the world hegemon in the 21st century.

China’s disproportionate capabilities have the potential to lessen US military advantage, especially where it counts most, in the Pacific region.

As early as 2010, the Chinese missile program has been made very advanced and accurate in their newly formed indigenous version of a military-industrial complex. They had started tests on its most ambitious missile project, the DF-21A, an anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM).

The DF-21A is designed to be specifically an aircraft-carrier destroyer, aimed at deterring US aircraft-carrier battle groups from interfering in case of conflict over Taiwan and other crises in the South China Sea especially, and the Pacific Ocean in general.

In fact, this was and is, an ingenious decision from the military, economic and industrial points of view, because China is acting at her own doorstep. At the same time, America’s forces are stretched over 7000 miles away from the USA and over 2900 miles from Guam.

This system may represent a game-changer and a severe threat to US forces in the region and must not be taken only by itself, but in conjunction with the complete modernization of all branches of the Chinese military.

In military language, this represents one of the many asymmetric forms of warfare that the Chinese military has been studying and using for centuries, especially since China has no illusions about its military inferiority vis-à-vis the United States at this moment of time.

Even if the US carrier battle group(s) use decoys, cyber warfare, and other methods of defense, the fact still remains, that the Chinese can and would unleash tens if not hundreds of such missiles simultaneously to overwhelm all defenses at a fraction of the cost of a destroyed US carrier and several of her support ships.

What should also be taken into consideration are the following facts –among others – regarding the People’s Liberation Army:

> Because the US military is dependent on satellite and space communications, China has therefore invested billions of dollars’ worth in developing anti-satellite weapon systems.

> Besides these missiles, China has been experimenting and developing pulsed laser anti-satellite weapons to not only disrupt communications, but also destroy them.

> China is developing Hypersonic missiles that can elude radar systems and get to their targets in a fraction of the time it takes conventional missiles.

To be clear, it will be impossible for the USA alone to stand up to the impending Chinese juggernaut. A new outside-the-box thinking must take place to do so.

The time has come to create a combined Pacific-Atlantic Alliance, made up of the following states: USA, NATO, Russia, India, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines, whose combined populations, military might, and economic resources, will be greater than that of China. Any other South East Asian country that feels threatened by China and wants to join this security alliance, should be taken in, such as Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, etc.

With all the talk we hear about Russia being a threat to the West, Russia is as worried about China as the West, and Russia should be part and parcel of any alliance I am proposing.

Putin is 100% correct in defending Russia against Ukraine in NATO. The agreement between Reagan and Gorbachev was NOT to have NATO encroach upon Russia’s borders as part of the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

Without such an alliance, each of the states mentioned above – no matter how powerful – will be no match to China in the very near future.
