The Rearrangement Of The US Military Deployments In West-Pacific And Its Impacts On Taiwan Strait Issue

The US global military deployments have been rearranged in the administration of President George W. Bush while the strategic focus of the United States is heading to the Asia-Pacific region in order to maintain its monopole hegemony. Over 100,000 US soldiers are stationed in West-Pacific region, including US Forces, Korea, US Forces, Japan, and The US 7th Fleet with other troops and instruments stationed in South-East Asia in addition. The current rearrangements among these troops are as follows: 1) The reinforcement of the construction and enhancement of the logistic capabilities of the Guam base in support of strategic bombers, strategic nukes and the carrier battle groups; 2) The re-deployment of US Forces, Korea aiming at an dilation of the strategic depth by more flexible and maneuverable means; 3) The enhancement of US military infiltration in South-East Asia through the on-going Anti-Terrorist War; 4) Intensifying the US-Japan Military Alliance as usual in order to elevate Japanese military status; 5) Improving the scale and level of the US-Taiwan military cooperation and establishing a paramilitary alliance between the United States and Taiwan. Under the guidance of the "Preemption" strategy and "Shock and Awe" concept, the above-mentioned rearrangement will strongly enhance the capabilities of the US forces in the future cross-straits conflict. The "Taiwan Independent" forces on that small island will surely depend on the "Security Insurance" given by the United States and carry on more defiant and hazardous steps which may lead to a criticality of the cross-strait conflict.
