The US Navy's missile cruiser "Chanslowville" illegally trespassed into the waters adjacent to China's Nansha Islands and reefs on 29 August and was driven away by the Type 054 frigate. In fact, for the US Navy, it is already common to break into or deliberately provoke in the perimeter, and the previous reports were purely text versions, or there was news only a few days after the incident.
This time it was very unexpected, it was reported directly on the same day, and the southern theater released photos of the scene, and even the routes of the two sides were marked, which is a major change from this point of view. In fact, since the beginning of this year, warships and aircraft, including the United States, Australia and Canada, have provoked very frequently in the surrounding areas, and the PLA Navy and Air Force have also intercepted and dispersed.
Methods and means are becoming more and more powerful, such as releasing infrared jamming bombs in front of reconnaissance aircraft, flipping them to inject engine exhaust gases, and even preparing for war directly in the Navy. All kinds of circumstances show that the balance of strength between the two sides has entered a balance, and it will not be so easy for the US military to make trouble, and sooner or later play this kind of small action will encounter "our ship is ordered to hit your ship", or an aerial scalpel.
