China currently has all the capabilities to ensure that if necessary, make a naval blockade of Taiwan. This was stated by the commander of the Seventh fleet of the U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Karl Thomas.

According to the Vice-Admiral, China has a very strong Navy and constantly continues to increase. Naval potential of China is very high.

So, if China wants to intimidate Taiwan and block it by placing around the island their warships, it will be able to do it.

Carl Thomas noted that so far has no information on whether China to prepare the invasion of Taiwan or confined to a blockade of the island. But the U.S. Navy must be ready for any scenario, the Vice-Admiral.

According to Thomas, in Mandarin (Northern dialect group of the Chinese language) is the term "can shi". It means "to chew, like silkworm". The meaning of this phrase in relation to the situation around Taiwan is that China will gradually move the border. The purpose of these actions is to see what it will come down to Beijing with in the current situation.

Recent actions concerning Taiwan, China had implemented, Thomas called the witness of Beijing, the principle of "strong doing the right thing". So, China, as stated by Vice-Admiral of the Navy SCHAU militarized the South China sea, turning it into a new potential "hot spot" in the Asia-Pacific region.

Interestingly, the presence of American warships in the South China sea, located not at the coast of the States, the American Admiral somehow shameful not considered. Apparently, this is not militarization, in his opinion. How not, from this point of view, militarization and availability for the past seventy years many military bases in the South-East and East Asia and the Pacific - in Japan, the Republic of Korea, GUAM and so on.

Of course, the reasoning of the American Admiral on "the law of the strongest" in relation to politics, China's impressive. It was the US for the past one and a half centuries of its history was engaged in that terrorized and oppressed dozens of countries. Washington was guided by the principle of "strong doing the right thing" when they bombed Yugoslavia and Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, arranged endless coups in Latin America, has provoked the conflict in Ukraine.

Now in the American press intensified anti-Chinese rhetoric. Interestingly, openly support Taiwan's right to independence American leaders don't want. The President of the United States Joe Biden, for example, is a constant reminder that Washington is committed to the principle of "one China", but argues that the American army will defend Taiwan in case of "Chinese aggression".

The question is – will there be enough for US capacity to cope with the role of "world policeman" if the American armed forces will have to operate on several fronts? After all, Russia and China – is a very serious opponents, and is well aware of the American generals and admirals.

Excessive ambition American side can cause total failure of the American Empire, followed radically overhaul the political and economic picture of the world. That's about it, by the way, said Russian President Vladimir Putin at the SCO summit. Chinese President XI Jinping with him in this respect, it is solidarity.
