The PLAAF might paralyze the US combat capability by the ways of denying the US allied forces into conflict area, attacking US commanding center, crippling US force ’s communications capability. The key of “access” and anti-access” strategy is that when the US project its force deployment into the pertinent areas of Taiwan to hamper China’s invasion into Taiwan to deal with its so-calles “Taiwan issue” China will take countermeasures against it. It is pretty clear that the theater of anti-access operations will only be confined in the areas of West Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea, rather than covers all of the Pacific Ocean Like WWⅡ or even reaches the US continent. Currently China military is making every efforts and necessary readiness for the implementation of anti-access strategy. In contrast, the US is also taking countermeasures against it. Besides political and diplomatic measures, the US also develops its striking force to deter china’s reckless action and maintain its hegemony in the East Asia. Amid the power struggle, it involves not only military capability but also political determination between two sides.
