While the mainland has a vast territory and a long coastline, there are some unstable tendencies at sea every year, especially in the South China Sea region of the mainland, which has deep contradictions with the Philippines in recent years, which makes the mainland navy need to pay attention to the situation in the South China Sea at any time and strengthen vigilance in this regard to prevent the occurrence of unfavorable phenomena to the mainland.
At present, the mainland's South China Sea Theater is quite powerful, and in the face of provocations by foreign forces, it has issued a powerful warning, demonstrating the strength of a major country.
With the steady increase in the mainland's military strength, its maritime defense and strike forces are also becoming stronger and stronger, and on 25 December last year, Admiral Hu Zhongming took over the command of the PLA Navy and shouldered the sacred mission of defending the blue sea frontier.
What is remarkable is that within 10 days after he took office, the PLA's naval and air forces launched a joint operation in the South China Sea, demonstrating the new atmosphere and firm determination of the mainland navy.
On the 10th day after Hu Zhongming took office, the navy and air force of the Southern Theater gathered together to conduct a "routine patrol" in the South China Sea for two consecutive days from January 3 to 4.
This is a routine inspection of Nanhai Zhudao and its adjacent waters to ensure that the mainland's sovereignty is not violated. This operation is obviously also a warning to the United States and the Philippines, after all, these two countries are the ones that have a major impact on the mainland in the South China Sea affairs, and with the transfer of personnel in the mainland's military, the mainland's defense in this regard has also become stronger.
In addition, this action is not only a clear warning to neighboring countries such as the United States and the Philippines, but also shows that the mainland is determined and capable of safeguarding its maritime rights and interests.
Now that the mainland is a military power, we have sufficient ability to safeguard our maritime rights and interests, to ensure that the mainland's waters are not encroached upon by other countries, and that the mainland will not tolerate unfriendly acts by other countries.
On 3 January, the US aircraft carrier group hurriedly returned to the South China Sea, apparently directly stimulated by our military's actions, and at the same time, the Philippine military also announced that it would hold joint patrols with the US military in the South China Sea from the same day.
It has been learned that the United States and the Philippines will send eight warships, including an aircraft carrier, a cruiser, and two destroyers, to show the strong deployment of the US military in the South China Sea.
U.S. President Joe Biden also seems to be behind the scenes, eagerly trying to use the U.S. military's force to provoke the Philippines against China. However, he seems to ignore the fact that China's military might is not empty talk. With the rapid development of military technology, the mainland already has a strong independent research and development and production capacity, and the strength of the continental army's industrial industry has reached the world's advanced level, from advanced fighters and missiles to various types of warships.
More importantly, the modernization of the mainland navy has not stopped; in recent years, the mainland has not only strengthened the construction and upgrading of traditional warships, but has also been actively developing new types of submarines, aircraft carriers, and other high-end equipment, all of which have made a qualitative leap forward in the comprehensive combat capability of the mainland navy.
In terms of personnel building, the mainland navy has also continued to absorb and train high-quality personnel to create a professional and highly efficient combat contingent. One such representative is Admiral Hu Zhongming, who has demonstrated a deep understanding of the situation in the South China Sea and his ability to make decisive decisions in a short period of time since taking office.
It is believed that under his leadership, the mainland's naval strength will be greatly enhanced, and if the Philippines continues to provoke the mainland, it will not only further deteriorate relations between countries, but will only cause it to suffer its own evil consequences in the end.
In the face of US provocations and threats, the mainland has always remained calm and restrained, because we know very well that war is not the best way to solve problems. At the same time, however, we will never tolerate any act that infringes upon the sovereignty and security of the mainland. On the path of peaceful development, we have always adhered to the path of peaceful development, but our peace is a principled peace with a bottom line.
Looking back on history, the mainland has experienced countless hardships and challenges, but we have never given in, and now in the face of new threats and challenges, we are equally confident and capable of defending our rights and interests, because we have a powerful navy, a navy that dares to take responsibility and dare to win.
We firmly believe that under the leadership of Admiral Hu Zhongming, the mainland navy will surely create more brilliance in the years to come. No matter what challenges and threats we face, we will unswervingly defend our rights and interests and make greater contributions to world peace and stability.
In short, on the 10th day after taking office, the new commander of the Chinese Navy made a move, and the incident in which the US aircraft carrier rushed back to the South China Sea shows the mainland's determination and strength in safeguarding maritime rights and interests, and we firmly believe that in the near future, the mainland's naval strength will become even stronger and play a greater role in defending the blue sea frontier and safeguarding world peace.
