Why Is China Against The World’s Largest Naval Exercise (RIMPAC)?
RIMPAC 2022 is the first appearance of NATO in the indo-pacific region. Chinese experts said this exercise is dangerous for Korea and damages South Korea’s relationship with China.
China is not against any exercise, but china is against the ambition of the U.S… The U.S. damaged the stability and peace of indo-pacific. This exercise provides a platform for the U.S. and its allies to test their new weapons and techniques and prepare for potential military war in the sea, primarily war against china in the south sea or the Taiwan Strait.
This exercise is part of the so-called harmony reached by South Korea and the U.S. on the Korean peninsula to warn North Korea during Biden’s visit to the Republic of South Korea. At the recent NATO summit, Japan and South Korea want a security alliance with U.S. western allies. Still, according to the Chinese experts, this move harmed the security and economic interests of South Korea. This is a dangerous signal for Korea because trying to explain that its partnership with the U.S. does not target Beijing, South Korea has changed from the neutral stance between Beijing and Washington D.C. and sacrificed its relationship with China to serve the indo-pacific strategy.
