Text/Editor: Yu Xiaoran's notes
Among the P5 countries, China and the United States have always been the most powerful opponents.
In the geopolitical game, the friction and struggle between the two countries have never stopped.
Recently, on the Philippine islands in the Asia-Pacific region, a new great power wrestling is taking place.
On 15 April, the United States made public a bombshell news that the "Typhon" medium-range missile system had been quietly deployed to the forward position on Luzon Island in the Philippines.
This is the first time since the end of the Cold War that the United States has deployed a similar weapon system in Asia.
The name "Typhon" is derived from the monster in Greek mythology, alluding to the brutality of the system.
It can launch anti-ship cruise missiles Tomahawk with a range of 1,600 kilometers and is aimed directly at China's Taiwan Strait, the South China Sea and the eastern inland.
This can be said to be a "sharp sword" against China, which is intended to produce strategic containment against China.
In the face of this provocation, the Chinese government did not respond positively, but immediately launched a strategic countermeasure.
China is also not a vegetarian, and peace-loving does not mean tolerating threats.
It is impossible to sit idly by and watch the opponent show his sword and threaten at the door of his home.
So good guys, a few days after the US deployment, a strange news circulated on Philippine social media.
Some local residents caught a mysterious flying machine on the coastline of the island near the South China Sea.
As it approached the ground, it dragged a long white tail flame that rose from the ground as fast as lightning.
Attentive witnesses noted that the highly maneuverable vehicle did not correspond to any equipment in the Philippines.
The livery of the aircraft and the lines of the model are recognizable at a glance, and this is the latest unmanned reconnaissance aircraft "Wuzhan-7" developed by China.
Sure enough, in the days that followed, Wuzhen-7 made several appearances over the South China Sea.
It circled the Luzon area and appeared to be conducting close reconnaissance of a ground target.
The Wuzhen-7 is a new star product of China's aviation industry, which debuted at the 13th Airshow China in 2021.
This large drone has a maximum flight altitude of 20,000 meters and a speed of 750 kilometers per hour, a range of up to 15 hours, and a synthetic aperture radar accuracy of up to 0.5 meters.
In terms of stealth, long-range precision strikes and post-war assessments, it can be called "all-rounders".
The mysterious appearance of drones is also China's strategic response to the deployment of US missiles.
It clearly demonstrated to the world the strength of China's military and warned the United States not to act rashly.
China will not sit idly by and watch threats on its doorstep, but it will also not take the initiative to provoke a military conflict.
But if threatened, China's counterattack will be swift and powerful.
Immediately afterwards, an even more shocking news spread among the Philippine people, that a Chinese vessel that was originally believed to be a fishing boat had quietly changed the livery of the Chinese coast guard vessel.
This is a clear indication that China will change its approach to assertion in the South China Sea.
When necessary, Chinese civilian vessels will join the Coast Guard to jointly defend China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea.
This new move will further strengthen China's power in the South China Sea, and completely end the attempts of countries such as the Philippines.
In the face of the provocation of the United States and the arrogant provocation of the Philippines, China took action, first with the sword "Wuzhen-7" in the air, and then with the new strategy of the maritime civil power to support the coast guard.
These two heavy blows hit the ambitions of the United States and the Philippines in the South China Sea.
China's actions are silent, but their power is unquestionable.
A top-notch unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) such as the "Wuzhan-7" is fully capable of controlling the entire South China Sea battlefield and clearly monitoring every move of the US and Philippine forces.
In the event of a conflict, it will also become a sharp weapon for air and sea supremacy, leading long-range precision strikes.
At the same time, the growing strength of the China Coast Guard will greatly enhance China's control in the South China Sea.
As a staunch defender of sovereignty in the South China Sea, the China Coast Guard will thoroughly curb the arrogance of any foreign forces in the South China Sea.
For a time, tensions in the South China Sea rose sharply.
This is not only a microcosm of the great power game, but also an irrefutable proof of China's resolute use of force to safeguard national territorial sovereignty.
In the face of these initiatives, it is clear that the Philippine government is feeling unprecedented pressure.
Just as it was pointing fingers at China's dominance in the South China Sea, China's "double riposte" undermined its arrogance.
As China's countermeasures advance, it is fully foreseeable that the actions of the United States and the Philippines in the South China Sea will be severely constrained.
Under China's firm attitude and forceful countermeasures, any attempt to violate China's territorial sovereignty will inevitably pay a heavy price.
In this regard, netizens said:
As a result, Southeast Asian capital is like a frightened bird. Severe sanctions must be imposed to fight back against the Philippines and the United States!
Although China loves peace, it will never allow external swords and guns to stand at our doorstep, and the mainland will resolutely counterattack! Only by daring to fight can the war be stopped!
In the arena of the great power game between China and the United States, the South China Sea will become a new focus.
China will never waver in its sovereignty over the South China Sea, but it will continue to work hard to maintain peace and stability.
Only through mutual respect and mutual benefit can the South China Sea issue be completely resolved.
Any external threat and interference will be resolutely countered by China.
We call on all countries to uphold reason and cherish the peace that has been so hard to attain.
The South China Sea should not and cannot become a battlefield for provocation and confrontation, and China has made it abundantly clear that this point.
The rapid response of the "great power game" is the last word, and China's operation is really powerful!
