Recently, I noticed an announcement by the French Navy that the Chinese Navy's destroyer Yinchuan was approaching the exclusive economic zone of French Polynesia. After spotting the Chinese warship, the French Navy immediately dispatched an Atlantic patrol aircraft to monitor.
The rarity of this event caused great concern in the French Navy. From the published photos, we can see that the Chinese "Yinchuan" seems to have sailed into the deep sea alone. Despite the fact that the French Navy released the news and monitored it accordingly, the actions of the Chinese warships were legal and free navigation, and the French side had no reason to intervene and could only observe from afar.
"Yinchuan" is the name of a heroic ship among the warships of the Chinese Navy. The early "Yinchuan" was decommissioned in 2012, and the current "Yinchuan" is a Type 052D guided-missile destroyer independently developed by the mainland, carrying the "Sea Star" improved solid-state active phased array radar and long-range ship-to-air missiles, belonging to the famous "China Aegis" series.
In addition to these main weapons, our "Yinchuan" is equipped with a special equipment, the sonic weapon. In practice, this equipment is very practical, it can use sound waves to carry out non-lethal soft attacks on people at a certain distance. In conventional maritime patrols, if you encounter criminals such as pirates, this sonic equipment can play a very effective dispersal effect.
In addition, our ship is equipped with four units mounted symmetrically on the sides of the helicopter hangar on the left and right, which are considered decoy launchers, similar to the MK59 inflatable floating decoys used by British and American naval warships. Such a device can confuse the opponent's radar and anti-ship missiles in a combat situation, and may save lives at critical moments.
Based on the information provided by the French Navy, I specifically looked at the map. To my surprise, our Yinchuan ship had sailed to the deep sea east of Australia, thousands of miles from the mainland. With such a remote location, it's no wonder the French Navy is keeping such a close eye on the ship's movements. It is worth mentioning that in mid-to-late December, the mainland Liaoning aircraft carrier formation is conducting training in the western Pacific, but in the farther and deeper oceans, Chinese warships are advancing alone.
Moreover, looking back at the Yinchuan's route, it is worth considering whether the Australian Navy has been aware of this situation. After all, the relationship between China and Australia is now at a freezing point, but it is indeed puzzling why the Australian navy is silent about the Chinese warships approaching its doorstep.
From a personal point of view, the navies of other countries, including France, should treat the ocean-going voyages of Chinese warships with a normal mind. Because in recent years, the strength of the Chinese Navy has been rising, and we are building an ocean-going navy that is not limited to patrolling the near seas. In particular, our aircraft carriers, in the future, will not only be in the western Pacific and Pacific Ocean, but also in the Atlantic, Indian and Arctic Oceans, which is the boldness and strength that a big navy should have.
Summed up, the incident underscores the ocean-going strength and ambition of the Chinese navy and echoes China's growing maritime presence. In the international arena, we must demonstrate our determination to safeguard our national interests, while maintaining good-neighborly relations with other countries and jointly safeguarding world peace and stability. Only on the basis of equality and mutual benefit can we build a more harmonious international order. This is also the responsibility and obligation that China should assume as a major country.
