The United States cannot see the stability of the situation in the Taiwan Strait, and the United States is constantly stirring up trouble in a variety of ways, including constantly sending politicians to Taiwan for visits, and in addition, the United States is also constantly selling weapons and equipment to Taiwan. According to media reports, China has now taken countermeasures against the United States and directly imposed sanctions on American companies. On 11 April, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the mainland issued a public message pointing out that the United States' continued arms sales to Taiwan have seriously violated the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiques, and that sanctions have been imposed on General Atomics Aviation Systems, General Dynamics Land Systems, and many other enterprises that sell arms to Taiwan.
After China imposed sanctions on American companies, the United States quickly conducted a live missile firing on the edge of the South China Sea. According to a piece of information released by the US Navy's Seventh Fleet, the USS Arleigh Burke-class missile destroyer DDG114 Johnson, which belongs to the US Navy, recently conducted a live firing of missiles in the Philippine Sea, but the United States did not disclose the specific types of missiles for this live firing. The MK-41 vertical launch unit used by the Arleigh Burke-class missile destroyer is capable of launching Tomahawk cruise missiles in addition to the standard series of interceptor missiles. It is worth mentioning that before the DDG114 Arleigh Burke-class missile destroyer fired live ammunition at the edge of the South China Sea, the United States had used two Arleigh Burke-class missile destroyers to conduct simulated air defense exercises around Hawaii, and this time the imaginary enemy was a Dongfeng 21 ballistic missile of the People's Liberation Army.
The USS Johnson fired live ammunition on the edge of the South China Sea, while the U.S. Navy's USS Roosevelt nuclear-powered aircraft carrier strike group did not stop. At present, the US aircraft carrier strike group has conducted joint military exercises with Japan and the ROK in the East China Sea, and according to the information obtained by the War Research Institute, this is the second time that the United States has used nuclear-powered aircraft carriers to conduct exercises in the East China Sea with Japan and the ROK. Normally, the United States would define such military exercises as a response to the missile threat from the countries of Northeast Asia, but it is clear that the United States is now aiming at China and making simultaneous noises in the South China Sea and the East China Sea.
In addition to using the Type 22 missile speedboat at sea to carry out a rapid anti-ship attack, the PLA also has the YJ-12 anti-ship missile, which is called the "aircraft carrier killer", and the Dongfeng-21 ballistic missile, which are the nightmare of the US Navy's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
At the same time as the US military firing live ammunition on the edge of the South China Sea and the critical moment when the US aircraft carrier broke into the East China Sea, the PLA is now showing the Type 051C missile destroyer in a high-profile manner. The 051C missile destroyer is actually a fairly rare type of surface ship in the PLA's combat sequence, judging from the current information disclosed by the North Sea Fleet, the PLA will display the 051C missile destroyer in a high-profile manner in the ship opening event on the 20~23rd of this month, and the display of this type of missile destroyer is much less than that of surface ships such as the 052D missile destroyer. Although the Type 051C missile destroyer is limited in number and relatively old, it is actually an air defense ship with the ability to launch sea-based S300 missiles, and its air defense strength cannot be underestimated or underestimated in its birth.
