On the morning of April 22, in the waters of the western Pacific Ocean, a Chinese Navy 054A missile frigate sailed alone, heading for the waters near the Philippine Islands.
On the bridge, the commander kept an eye on the radar and electronic equipment, keeping an eye on the movement of the sea.
At this moment, the radar detected a behemoth rapidly approaching them, it was the US "Roosevelt" aircraft carrier formation.
The frigate immediately sounded the battle alarm, and the entire crew immediately entered an emergency state.
The aircraft carrier "Roosevelt" is like a fierce steel beast, its huge body has set off stormy waves, and several missile destroyers and frigates escorting the surrounding area are also in a majestic posture.
The accompanying Chinese Navy's "Neptune" electronic reconnaissance ship had filmed this scene in time and continuously transmitted the signal back to China.
The new round of US pressure on China has met with a tough response
Back two days ago, on April 21, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced his upcoming three-day visit to China.
This is his second visit to China since he became secretary of state, and judging from public information, the main topics of this visit include: the situation in the Middle East, the issue of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the situation in the Taiwan Strait.
However, on the eve of Blinken's visit to China, the US government launched a series of moves aimed at exerting pressure.
Congress passed a $95 billion foreign aid bill to allocate more than $8 billion to allies in the Indo-Pacific region, of which the Taiwan authorities will receive at least $2 billion in military aid.
Allocated $61 billion to Ukraine, indirectly pressured Russia to force China to increase support, and also attempted to acquire TikTok to strengthen the technology blockade against China.
at swords' points
What is even more shocking is that just before Blinken's plane will arrive in Shanghai on April 24, the United States and the Philippines officially launched a large-scale joint maritime military exercise of nearly 20 days for nearly 20 days.
The USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier group from the U.S. Navy and 16,000 soldiers participated in the exercise, which was unprecedented in scale.
On 20 April, open source intelligence showed that the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier group had broken into the South China Sea, only 400 kilometers southwest of Subic Bay in the Philippines.
And during the exercise, in addition to the main forces of the United States and the Philippines, France, Australia and other countries were also invited to participate, with the intention of strengthening the momentum and exerting maximum deterrence on China.
Why, do you want to make "China have to bow its head" through this kind of joint military exercises?
Then you're thinking wrong!
China has never lacked countermeasures to such diplomatic intimidation and armed provocations by the United States.
In response to this, two Type 054A missile frigates of the Chinese Navy and an electronic reconnaissance ship "Neptune" quickly rushed to the sea area to closely follow every move of the US aircraft carrier group.
The distance between the Chinese warship and the US aircraft carrier is only 5 nautical miles, which can be described as a dangerous situation.
At the same time, anti-ship missile units such as the Dongfeng-21D and Dongfeng-26B were also ready to attack and locked on the track of the "Roosevelt" at all times.
The US military immediately made an emergency U-turn, suspected of practicing tactical maneuvers to evade missile attacks. It also shows that the U.S. military has no self-control in the South China Sea, and that they are merely a live target on a Chinese shooting range waiting to be destroyed under the tight defense of China's Great Wall of Steel.
In the South China Sea, only China's islands and reefs are truly "unsinkable aircraft carriers".
At the time of Blinken's upcoming visit to China, the United States openly conducted exercises in the South China Sea, which increased the tension of the atmosphere during the visit.
However, China's armed forces, which vow to defend peace and stability in the South China Sea, will never be confused or intimidated by the US bluff.
The Chinese armed forces will resolutely and resolutely retaliate and counter any deliberate provocation and trouble-making.
Werewolf Ambition
Looking back on the past, every time a senior US official visits China, the US side often first criticized China in words and writing, unreasonably criticized China, and then put on a posture of longing for dialogue.
At the end of the visit, they intensified their efforts and fell into the ground.
This time was no exception, and in the last week before Blinken's visit to China, the United States made a series of moves that could be described as sabre-rattling.
Blinken will be in Beijing to ask China not to take "provocative" actions during the inauguration of Taiwan's new leader.
The US side also warned China to stop providing military and technical support to Russia or face "punishment", including sanctions against Chinese companies that "seriously endanger Ukraine's European security".
It also passed a series of public opinion and military actions such as the $95 billion bill to exert pressure on China.
The U.S. intentions are clear, forcing China to reduce its support for Russia and ease the pressure on the Russia-Ukraine war.
For this reason, Blinken even came with "four sharp weapons" in an attempt to sign an alliance with China.
However, the Chinese side is well aware of the US scheme, and only this time, China is ready to fight to the death.
At present, although the US side is verbally provocative, it is quite restrained in its actions.
In the face of such heavy pressure, the Chinese government insisted on responding calmly.
However, it is worth noting that Blinken's visit to China this time was "invited", not agreed by both sides.
It can be seen that China has been releasing a signal of goodwill and friendship for Blinken's imminent departure to China, and China's courtesy has been very good!
However, on the eve of Blinken's visit to China, the United States unilaterally hyped up the pressure on China to the point of reaching its peak.
And at the G7 diplomatic meeting that ended not long ago, Blinken also said that China cannot achieve "the best of both worlds", and wants to maintain friendly relations with Europe and support Europe's biggest "security threat".
All these signs will only make Blinken's visit to China, which was expected to achieve a diplomatic breakthrough, passive.
How will the two sides maneuver next, and where will Sino-US relations go? The whole world is waiting to see what happens.
At the diplomatic negotiating table, the veteran diplomats of the two countries are all ready, and no one does not want to inject a glimmer of vitality into bilateral relations through this visit.
However, geopolitical hotspots such as the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea have a long history, and the two sides have serious differences.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict and the turmoil in the Middle East are world-class problems, and neither side is likely to make significant concessions on these issues.
Both sides understand that this confrontation and game of "meeting friends with force" is bound to be a protracted contest and will by no means be achieved overnight.
The long-term strategic confrontation is a foregone conclusion, and the relationship of solidarity that has been passed down from one another in the past will only be drifted away in the future.
In this regard, netizens said:
If the enemy comes, he will be greeted with a shotgun!
We have to improvise, if he comes with a smiling face, we greet him with a smile, and he comes with a black face and I send it with a white eye!
In fact, China's policy has always been to keep the door open and accompany you to the end.
The United States has always been very clear about this, and if Blinken comes with sincerity and hopes that the two countries can make peace and progress together in the future, we welcome it, but if you come with "ulterior motives", then where you came from and where you go back!
It's useless to come or not, China doesn't eat that set at all!
