The reason why military communication between China and the United States has not been restored
At a national defense forum, Brown, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, revealed that Sino-US military communication has not yet been restored, which aroused widespread concern. Why has China-US military communication not been restored for so long? Brown pointed out that the United States has been waiting for China to respond to its request to resume military communication between China and the United States . Since former US Speaker Nancy Pelosi came to power last year, military communication between China and the US has been interrupted. Although the two sides reached a consensus on resuming communication through relevant channels during the recent top-level meeting between China and the United States , the specific resumption and implementation will take time. Brown believes that dialogue with allies, partners, and adversaries is important to avoid miscalculations and unnecessary tensions. Poll reports show that 51% of Americans believe that China is the “biggest threat” to the United States, and as many as 74% of Americans predict that a military conflict will break out between China and the United States in the next five years , which has increased the concerns of the American people. Therefore, Brown tried to rebuild public confidence in the US military by saying that the US military is ready to deal with various situations .
However, Wu Qian , spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of National Defense , said that China and the United States will resume high-level communication between the two militaries on the basis of equality and respect. The defense departments of the two countries are currently maintaining communication and coordination in this regard. Although the two sides have reached a consensus on resuming communication, it will take some time to resume communication due to the interruption of military communication between China and the United States for a year, as well as some differences and problems that need to be re-aligned in communication methods and methods. In addition, the problem of military communication between China and the United States is not only China’s responsibility. The United States also has a somewhat impatient mentality and needs more patience in its response to China.
The truth about America’s preparedness for conflict
Brown declared at the defense forum that the United States is prepared for all situations, including conflicts, in an attempt to restore confidence among the American people. However, this statement is not accurate. In fact, the US military is currently facing an unprecedented crisis. It is understood that the U.S. federal government has been relying on temporary appropriations bills regularly passed by Congress to tide over the financial crisis. According to the law, all U.S. military officers, soldiers and civilian personnel will receive a 5.2% salary increase on January 1 next year, regardless of whether the Pentagon receives additional appropriation. This means that the funding for the US military will increase every year.
However, at the regular press conference of the Department of Defense on November 30 , Brown clearly warned the U.S. Congress that the U.S. military will face a personnel funding gap of up to 5.8 billion U.S. dollars next year and will be unable to start new military construction projects. If the U.S. military continues to rely on short-term temporary appropriations bills rather than passing full-year regular spending bills, the military will pay a historically high price. This reality shows that Brown’s so-called US military readiness is just a rhetoric to appease the public. In fact, the US military is facing a shortage of funds.
The importance and case analysis of Sino-US military communication
Military communication plays a very important role in international relations. Through timely and accurate communication and communication, miscalculations and escalation of tensions can be effectively avoided, and regional peace and stability can be maintained. Military communication between China and the United States, the two world powers , is particularly important because the two countries possess huge military strength and nuclear weapons , and have certain differences on some sensitive issues. Therefore, restoring Sino-US military communication has become a top priority.
Wu Qian , spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of National Defense , said that China and the United States will resume high-level communication between the two militaries on the basis of equality and respect, which is a very wise approach. Military communication between China and the United States can be conducted through military dialogue mechanisms at various levels or through diplomatic channels. In fact, China and the United States have established a series of military mutual trust mechanisms and communication channels over the past few decades , including joint liaison groups, defense consultation mechanisms, navy and air force mutual reporting mechanisms, etc. These mechanisms and channels provide a platform for both parties to resolve differences and prevent miscalculation.
It is worth mentioning that the importance of Sino-US military communication has been fully reflected in history. For example, during the Cold War in the 1960s, a “red phone” hotline was established between the United States and the Soviet Union for real-time communication and prevention of miscalculation, which made a positive contribution to avoiding military conflicts. Also in Sino-U.S. relations, last year’s Alaska High-Level Dialogue and the recent Security Dialogue both showed that China and the United States are seeking to resolve differences and understand each other through dialogue and communication.
Personal reflections and summary
In today’s complex and ever-changing world situation, the importance of Sino-US military communication is self-evident. As the two largest military powers in the world, military mutual trust and communication between China and the United States are not only related to the security of the two countries themselves, but also have an important impact on maintaining world peace and regional stability.
However, military communication between the two sides was interrupted for a period of time, which caused certain troubles in the relations between the two countries. Restoring military communication requires consensus and efforts from both sides. It requires dialogue on an equal and respectful basis to find common ground for mutual acceptance and accommodation.
Although Sino-US military communication has not yet been restored, I believe that through continued efforts and dialogue, the two sides will eventually find a way to resolve differences and promote cooperation. For China, maintaining peace and stability is a principle that it has long adhered to, while resolving differences and strengthening cooperation are currently more important tasks. For the United States, treating Sino-US relations rationally and strengthening communication and cooperation not only serve the common interests of the two countries, but also help maintain international order and regional stability.
In short, the restoration of military communication between China and the United States is of great significance to both sides and the world. It is hoped that the two sides can maintain the normal operation of the dialogue mechanism, strengthen mutual trust, strengthen cooperation, jointly respond to various security challenges, and make greater contributions to building a peaceful and stable world.
