HKChinese researchers warn that the United States is employing a 'three seas linkage' strategy to apply pressure on China across three critical maritime regions: the East China Sea, the Taiwan Strait, and the South China Sea. This approach aims to force China into simultaneous operations across multiple fronts, potentially leading to strategic overextension. Yue Shengsong, an associate professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University, argues that this strategy is part of Washington's broader containment efforts targeting Chinese naval expansion. In an article published in the Pacific Journal, Yue recommends that China enhance coordination between different governmental agencies and develop a robust deterrent capability to protect its maritime interests. He emphasizes the need for integrated intelligence sharing and unified responses across diplomatic, military, law enforcement, legal, and communication domains.
Bias read (Center): The article presents a balanced analysis of U.S. strategy and offers recommendations from a Chinese academic perspective without overtly endorsing or criticizing either side. It focuses on describing the situation and providing expert advice rather than taking a clear ideological stance.
