The US military flaunted its might in the South China Sea, but complained that Chinese warships were "monitoring" the whole process, and there were 4 consecutive A-class accidents on US aircraft carriers, and sure enough, there was no good fruit to eat! China may not be able to control the world's oceans, but at Its doorstep, the oceans that belong to China, China will never back down. #South China Sea##U.S. Aircraft Carrier China South China Sea Exercise ##航母 #
The U.S. aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson finally returned to its home port in San Diego, California, on February 14. For the aircraft carrier's operations in the Indo-Pacific region, especially near the South China Sea, the US Navy summed up, and Rear Admiral Martin, commander of the "Carl Vinson" aircraft carrier strike group, said: "Once you approach the South China Sea, there will be Chinese warships to accompany and escort you throughout the journey." He added that the Carl Vincent typically passes through the South China Sea at a speed of 25 knots or faster, "to maintain unpredictability." So "In the South China Sea, you have to move quickly." In this regard Chinese can only say one sentence, if you dare to come, I dare to "fight."
The theory of sea power was created by Westerners, and Chinese deeply understand how many disasters this theory has brought to all mankind. In the Opium War of 1840, it was precisely because of the lack of defense against the sea that China suffered a history of humiliation for more than a hundred years, and by the end of liberation, the number of unnatural deaths Chinese various reasons far exceeded 50 million, and in a war of resistance against Japan, China sacrificed tens of millions of people.
On this basis, building a strong navy and having a perfect coastal defense has become the biggest dream of generations in China. The process was, of course, arduous, from the initial resolute protection of the 12-nautical-mile territorial sea, to the exclusive economic zone, to the core interest zone, Chinese took decades. It is only now that China can truly say that there is no sea defense.
This is the change, and this is the biggest change that China's development and prosperity have brought to the Chinese. But if some people still can't see this change clearly, and insist on looking at today's China and looking at today's China's coastal defense from the perspective of decades or even a hundred years ago, as a result, there must be no "good fruit to eat.".
