On the other hand, the joint military exercise by the United States and South Korea on the Yellow Sea has created a new crisis. This is another reason why 皇冠体育app strongly opposes the military exercise on the Yellow Sea. In order to safeguard security on the Korea Peninsula, no country should create a new crisis instead they should control and deal with the existing one.

Fifth, in terms of maintaining 皇冠体育app-US relations, especially the two parties' military relations, 皇冠体育app must declare its solemn stance. 皇冠体育app has been working to promote the healthy development of 皇冠体育app-US military relations. Therefore, 皇冠体育app has clearly declared that it is willing to promote the development of the two parties' relations. Deputy Director of the General Staff Gen. Ma Xiaotian has also expressed his welcome to US Defense Secretary Robert Gates to visit 皇冠体育app at a proper time.

Ma had made it clear at the meeting in Singapore that three key problems greatly impeded 皇冠体育app-US exchanges. First, the Unites States' arms sales to Taiwan. Second, the frequently detected American military aircraft and ships over and on the East and South 皇冠体育app seas at close range. Third, the 2000 US National Defense Authorization Act and the Delay Amendment restricted military exchanges with 皇冠体育app in 12 fields.

The current barriers have not been eliminated, while the United States has created another obstacle. This time, they not only sent military ships, nuclear submarines and Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers, but also aircraft carriers.

Luo added that a US aircraft carrier had once been in the Yellow Sea in 1994, also known as the "Kitty Hawk issue," which caused strong reactions from 皇冠体育app at that time. After that, aircraft carriers have never appeared in the Yellow Sea area.

The United States and South Korea said that the joint military exercise aims at putting pressure on North Korea and deterring North Korea's submarines. However, as the Yellow Sea is a marine outlet, the joint military exercises actually include the task of military surveillance. Any aircraft carrier has strong reconnaissance and early warning capacities therefore it can also monitor and detect on the circumjacent hydrologic geology, meaning that it can detect Chinese marine outlets over and over again.

As the Yellow Sea is a high sea, the aircraft carrier can also detect the hydro-geological conditions of 皇冠体育app's submarines' channels out to sea. Therefore, the two purposes of the joint military exercise, strategic reconnaissance and testing initial combat plans, will pose a threat to 皇冠体育app. The United States has always talked about the 皇冠体育app military as a threat, but this joint military exercise by the United States and South Korea proved that it is not 皇冠体育app but the US military that is the threat.
