According to global network news, on June 3, the US destroyer "Zhong Yun" gathered the Canadian frigate "Montreal" to forcibly break into the Taiwan Strait, and China's Eastern Theater has organized naval and air forces to follow the monitoring and vigilance throughout the process. The Eastern Theater of Operations also said it would take all necessary measures to respond to all threats and provocations. Although we did not disclose specific details, the reporter accompanying the Canadian frigate recorded the entire process of the PLA's strong force to force the US destroyer to change course.
US destroyer "Zhongyun" area
Judging from the video data released by the Canadian media, the PLA warship suddenly turned to accelerate and rushed towards the course of the US destroyer while tracking and monitoring the US destroyer. The US warship was so frightened that it immediately shouted to our warship to change course, but we ignored it. When the brave win when the narrow road meets, the U.S. military finally instigated, choosing to slow down and change course. It is reported that the distance between Chinese and American warships at that time was only about 137 meters, which is already very dangerous for large surface ships, and any mistake may cause the two ships to collide.
The Chinese and American warships almost collided
This incident illustrates at least two things. First, on the Taiwan issue, we will do what we say. Judging from the video data, our warships did not show any signs of slowing down or changing course when they rushed straight at the US warships. This shows that we have prepared for the worst and are not afraid to tear our faces with the United States on the Taiwan issue. Just as mainland state councilor and defense minister Li Shangfu said in his speech at the "incense meeting," the Chinese armed forces will not hesitate in the slightest on the Taiwan issue, nor will they be afraid of any opponent, and we will resolutely safeguard the country's territorial integrity and sovereign interests no matter what the cost.
On the other hand, looking at what the US side said and did, it seems that it is not so confident. Biden recently stressed again that he does not want a frontal confrontation or conflict with the mainland. In the face of the oncoming warships of our army, the US warships did not have the courage to be tough to the end, but chose to take the initiative to retreat. Based on these two points alone, we can see that the United States is a veritable paper tiger.

Second, the US military's forced invasion of the Taiwan Strait seems to be a beautiful scenery, and every time it has to publicize it, this is not the case. Earlier, Taiwan media broke the news that when US warships forcibly break into the Taiwan Strait, they are often surrounded by a large number of PLA warships, and from the satellite image, it is like being escorted across the Taiwan Strait by the PLA. Moreover, the United States has long dared not send aircraft carriers to forcibly break into the Taiwan Strait, and can only send one or two old ships to brush up its presence in the Taiwan Strait. This shows that the US military is well aware that the PLA already has absolute military superiority in the Taiwan Strait.
What is different from the past is that this time US warships forcibly intruded into the Taiwan Strait more to create momentum for the US delegation at the "incense meeting." At the annual "incense meeting", the tricks between China and the United States have attracted much attention from the international community, and this year, the Chinese and US defense ministers will not hold separate talks during the meeting, and the smell of gunpowder between the two sides will only increase.
U.S. Defense Secretary Austin
In his speech on 3 June, US Defense Secretary Austin took the lead in attacking China, constantly making wild rhetoric on the Taiwan issue, and openly interfering in the mainland's internal affairs under the banner of "safeguarding regional peace." But soon, the US defense secretary's inappropriate words were refuted on the spot by senior PLA officials. Outside the field, the United States tried to build momentum for Austin's inappropriate remarks by sending warships through the Taiwan Strait, but the PLA's actual actions taught the US military a hard lesson. Whether it is at the "incense meeting" or outside the venue, the United States has completely lost. The reason is also that our country is becoming stronger and stronger, and we are more confident in dealing with external coercion.
What is certain is that despite being severely taught by the PLA, the United States will not stop acting on the Taiwan Strait issue. "Using Taiwan to contain China" is now one of the main means for the United States to suppress China, and the United States will only intensify its "Taiwan card" in the future, so we must be prepared for a long-term struggle, and we must prepare for the worst.
