The shoulder-to-shoulder military exercises, led by the United States and the Philippines, are about to begin today, and before the start of the U.S.-Philippine military exercises, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has repeatedly reminded the Philippines not to introduce external forces into the South China Sea and increase tensions in the South China Sea.
However, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos ignored China's warnings and reminders and continued the exercise with great fanfare.
In fact, before the start of the US-Philippine military exercises, China and the United States had already started a round of confrontation in the South China Sea, with US aircraft carriers approaching the waters of Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea, and the Chinese People's Liberation Army sending warships, and the two sides launched a fierce confrontation in the South China Sea!
In addition to the confrontation in the South China Sea, China has also drawn a no-sail zone in the South China Sea, where the Chinese Navy will conduct large-scale live-fire exercises in response to provocations by the United States and the Philippines in the South China Sea.
The three major provocative actions of the US-Philippine military exercise!
The reason why China reacted so strongly to this joint military exercise between the United States and the Philippines is that the provocation of this military exercise is very obvious, which is obviously reflected in three aspects!
The United States sent more than 10,000 troops to participate in the joint U.S.-Philippine military exercise, most of which were Filipino soldiers and other U.S. allies. In addition, this joint military exercise has also invited many observer missions from ASEAN countries, and its ostentatious and provocative meaning has been very obvious!
The United States is trying to isolate China in the Asia-Pacific region through this way, and at the same time completely NATO-ize these alliances with the United States in the Asia-Pacific region.
Second, the US military and the Philippines are naturally engaged in an offensive, defending, and island-seizing exercise at sea aimed at the conflict between China's Huangyan Dao and the waters near Ren'ai Jiao, and the United States has actually begun to think about the possibility of the United States sending troops to intervene in the event of a conflict between the Philippines and China in the waters off Huangyan Dao.
It is not difficult to see from these exercises that the United States has begun to prepare for a future war, and if China does not come up with tough means to retaliate, the United States will intensify its efforts, and even think that it does not cost to attack China and meddle in the South China Sea, and China must let the United States see our confidence and determination to defend its territorial waters, otherwise the United States will really take the Philippines into the South China Sea in the next step!
Although the Philippines did not buy warships from China, they did have an oil tanker purchased from China during the Duert period, which was built by a Chinese shipbuilding company and was originally used to transport oil to the Philippines, but was favored by the Philippine military as a supply ship.
Now the Philippine side wants to use this ship as a target ship to sink, although it is not much loss for China, but it is completely in response to that sentence, not very harmful but provocative and insulting, in the face of such a targeted provocation, if China does not give a strong counterattack, it will have a great impact on China's prestige!
China's upcoming countermeasures!
As we said earlier, China has always adhered to the attitude of advising the US-Philippines joint military exercise at the beginning, but the Philippines has not taken China's kind words and persuasion seriously, and it is also the most severe diplomatic word issued by the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
Historically, China has issued such diplomatic words several times, and they have been accompanied by the PLA army, and then our invincibility. In fact, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has long said such things to the Philippines, which also proves that the treatment of the Philippines and China has been exhausted, if the Philippines is really still obsessed, then the PLA will inevitably come up with the most severe measures!
The PLA will inevitably have means to counteract the US-Philippine military exercise in the South China Sea, and just as the US-Philippine military exercise is approaching, the PLA has already demarcated a no-sail zone in the South China Sea, and I believe that China will inevitably conduct actual combat exercises here at that time, and use our powerful force to deter the Philippines and the United States to a certain extent.
Of course, because this US-Philippine military exercise will last for a long time, the PLA military exercise will also be adjusted according to the results achieved after the first round, but no matter what the results are achieved later, China will inevitably send military aircraft and warships to the US-Philippine military exercises to give pressure and response!
In fact, when the United States has conducted military exercises in the South China Sea and surrounding waters in recent years, although China has not announced it to the public, every time we will send troops to monitor and capture information, the mainland's superweapon 815A electronic reconnaissance ship has hardly been absent from any of the important military exercises in China's surrounding waters!
As long as China's reconnaissance ships are released to the places where the US military is exercising, it will not only allow these US warships to raise their alert, but also make their exercises extremely cautious, and the pressure that China has brought to the United States in terms of electronic warfare will definitely make the United States throw a mouse trap in the South China Sea!
