On the 75th anniversary of the Navy's Ship Open Day, Pier 3 in Qingdao, Shandong Province was very lively.
The "star" this time is undoubtedly the "Guiyang" 052D missile destroyer, which has attracted the attention of tourists and military fans from all walks of life.
But no one expected that a Taiwanese reporter's "divine remarks" would become another highlight on the field!
TVBS's reporter Chen Yunwen, with a Taiwanese accent and an exaggerated expression, brought a different kind of "commentary" to everyone.
In front of hundreds of visitors, she went so far as to say that the Guiyang ship "once invaded beyond our waters in Kinmen."
This "invasion" statement immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.
I have to say that reporter Chen's remarks are really shocking.
Although cross-strait relations are delicate, it is obviously a bit biased to use the term "invasion" to describe our military's normal cruises. This also reflects from the side that there is still a big difference between the understanding of cross-strait relations and ours in certain media and personalities in Taiwan.
So, why do Taiwanese media pay so much attention to the Guiyang ship?
For no other reason, the 052D destroyer, as the main surface ship of our navy, should not be underestimated.
The behemoth with a displacement of about 7,000 tons, equipped with a four-sided phased array radar and a 64-pit 850-mm large vertical hair unit, can be described as a "heavy punch" at sea.
Although the "limelight" of the 055 drive is strong, the 052D will still be an indispensable force of our navy for a period of time in the future.
Compared with the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers of the US military, although there is still a gap in the number of our 052D, it is by no means inferior in performance.
In particular, its "Sea Star" improved phased array radar and powerful anti-ship capability are both "sharp weapons" that make the enemy daunted.
Reporter Chen's "high-mouthedness" this time undoubtedly shows us the Taiwan side's concern and vigilance against our military and naval forces.
However, this kind of concern and vigilance may also be the best proof of the development and growth of our navy.
Finally, I would like to say to reporter Chen: welcome to come often to "find out", but please remember that you need to be cautious in your speech!
