US aircraft carriers avoid the South China Sea to avoid tensions with China. Understand the reasons behind this strategy.
O South Sea of China is one of the most strategic areas in the world. But have you ever wondered why US aircraft carriers don't pass through there? Let's explore the reasons behind this strategic decision and understand the geopolitical and military complexities involved.
The main reason is to avoid increasing tensions with China. An aircraft carrier is not just a ship, but a floating military base, symbolizing great power. If the US regularly deployed these giants in the South China Sea, how would China react? It would likely be seen as a provocative act, leading to military clashes or serious diplomatic crises.
China claims almost the entire South Sea, marked by the nine-dash line, despite international decisions to the contrary
Sending an aircraft carrier could be seen as a direct threat to Chinese national security, leading to aggressive measures. In addition to military considerations, there are diplomatic and economic factors. The presence of a US aircraft carrier could be seen as an escalation, undermining diplomatic efforts and harming trade relations with China and other countries in the region.

Aircraft carriers are valuable and versatile assets needed in many global hotspots. Concentrating too many resources in the South China Sea could leave other regions vulnerable. The U.S. Navy must maintain a flexible and strategic military posture, ensuring the security of international sea lanes and responding quickly to global threats.
Maintaining an aircraft carrier in the South China Sea presents significant logistical challenges
These U.S. aircraft carriers require extensive support, including supply ships, maintenance facilities, and safe harbors. The presence of Chinese military bases and artificial islands equipped with advanced missiles poses a constant threat, making operations risky.
Territorial disputes in the region make it difficult to find friendly ports and reliable support bases. Many countries in the region are hesitant to become involved in the US-China rivalry, making it difficult to create a support network necessary for sustained operations.
Freedom of navigation operations (FONOPS) are part of the United States strategy
These operations aim to ensure that the oceans remain open and accessible to all nations by challenging excessive maritime claims. The US conducts FONOPS regularly, using smaller ships such as destroyers and cruisers, which are more maneuverable and less provocative than aircraft carriers.
China's assertive posture and military buildup in the South China Sea complicate U.S. operations. China has turned submerged reefs into military outposts equipped with airstrips, radar systems and missiles, increasing tensions and the risk of conflict.
US aircraft carriers avoid South China Sea to avoid escalation, maintain global military commitments, overcome logistical challenges and counter Chinese military construction. The strategy involves a delicate balance between avoiding conflict and maintaining a credible military presence. The situation continues to require diplomatic engagement supported by a robust military presence.
Reports on international geopolitics are important so that we can be aware of the involvement of major powers in helping or hindering emerging nations. We agree that the US has interfered in ways that hinder the social and economic development of emerging countries, mainly through the International Trade Organization, but also through the imposition of economic sanctions, changes in cultural patterns that diminish local cultures and value North American culture (Soft Power), and political interventions. The disarray of US influence and the accelerated disintegration of the American dollar, as well as the Union of countries (BRICS) against the exploitative and predatory policy of the US against allies and the attempt to submit all countries on Planet Earth to its rules, make us eager for information that supports our perspectives of a better Planet Earth for all.
Americans are the best 👉 👉🇺🇸💪👏👏👏👏
They are the best at ruining nations that don't agree with their economic policies, now they are shooting themselves in the foot 👣.
Exploitation of human misery; legal and political repression; armed arbitrariness against the unarmed and defenseless classes; degrading and elitist collectivist ideologies. The front composed of criminal organizations entrenched in dictatorial, cruel and repressive regimes. Supported by their murderous machines and the policy of physical elimination of adversaries and opponents, such as Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, Brazil, Iran, Nicaragua and their sympathizers, has resulted in a culture of death, hunger, crime and terror. Opponents murdered in Russia; public executions in Cuba; “individual” arrests in Venezuela; gang rapes in Iran; mass famine in Korea; armed control over the population in China; The new “axis of evil” finds itself in the ignorant complicity of a pseudo-intellectual “progressivism”, promoted by the communion of the mediocre, and has been victimizing humanity in its most cherished values, built at the cost of much blood and many martyrs, who gave their lives for the invention of pious justice, solidarity, charitable morality, and respect for property, the value of dignified work, and the loving and united family. These essential values “insult” the **** of the foolish in their lost identity, insatiable desires, and absolute lack of merits. Since they have no morals, ideals, or values, they group together in their excessive violence and insatiable greed.
At some point we will have to strip ourselves of our scruples and confront them “tete a tête”, and depose them from their castles of blood, from their piles of victims and save what is left of our society.
There will not be a single progressive in the media who will review their petty and **** role, who will repent for “ideologically” supporting this entire dirty tide of evil and depravity. And it is easy to identify them, just look at some of the comments on this post.
You are absolutely right, just read the comments and know how to interpret them.
Kal Max, **** don't know what they're talking about.
Americans are trying their best for the planet.
With all these fallacies I prefer facts, science and freedom.
