According to the bulletin issued by the Southern Theater between 3 January and 5 January, the Southern Theater of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) not only held a large-scale joint naval and air patrol operation in the South China Sea, but also mobilized a large number of fighters to carry out missile attack training tasks simulating the actual combat background. The PLA's Southern Theater is responding to the U.S. Navy's aggressive posture, according to information released by the United States and the Philippines, the United States and the Philippines held a large-scale joint naval exercise from January 3 to January 4, during which the U.S. Navy used the CVN 70 Carl Vinson aircraft carrier strike group formation to launch a military operation on China's doorstep.
Previously, the United States and the Philippines had hyped up the planned joint military exercises, but after the announcement made late at night in the Southern Theater of Operations on January 3, the US Navy's CVN70 Carl Vinson aircraft carrier strike group formation had a rhythm of "silence", because it had withdrawn to the Philippine port of Manila on January 5 and began a "rest" operation in the Philippines. The U.S. Navy's actions are very strange, because the CVN70 aircraft carrier Carl Vinson has docked at Singapore's Changi Military Port from December 17 to December 21, 2023.
Although both the United States and the Philippines hyped up the scale of the joint military exercises before the United States and the Philippines, in fact, they ended up being a scaled-down version of the joint military exercises, and the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier CVN 70 simply arrived in the western waters of the Philippines to operate, thus moving away from the South China Sea. The arrival of the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier CVN 70 at the port of Manila on 5 January already shows that the US Navy has long since left the area where the original military exercise was scheduled, thus exposing the hypocrisy of the Pentagon. According to information disclosed by the American media, in fact, recently the US Pentagon has been in a state of "semi-paralysis", so US Secretary of Defense Austin suddenly fell ill and entered the intensive care unit, while the US White House was still in the dark.
When the PLA's Southern Theater responded to the US-Philippine joint military exercise, the USS CVN70 Carl Vinson aircraft carrier of the US Navy "escaped from the battle", and the US retreat also made the Philippines lose confidence. According to the AIS signal of the ship, the Philippines was originally going to carry out the supply at Ren'ai Jiao, but after the United States retreated, the Philippines did not dare to openly carry out the supply of illegal building materials, so it returned to the place of departure halfway, and now the embarrassment is the Philippines itself, the Philippines originally tried to take advantage of the joint military exercises between the United States and the Philippines, so as to try to launch a provocation on Ren'ai Jiao, but the US Navy did not dare to show its sharp fangs, so there is the current situation.
In recent years, the United States has frequently clamored that China will not be allowed to change the status quo, and for this reason it has constantly launched provocations on the South China Sea issue, so it has an aggressive posture of using aircraft carriers to enter the South China Sea.
