According to foreign media reports, from April 22 to May 10, the United States and the Philippines will hold joint military exercises in the southwest of Ren'ai Jiao in the South China Sea (within the 10-dash line of the mainland), near the waters near Palawan Island in the Philippines, and at the same time, the French Navy and the Australian Navy will also participate in the military exercises, with a total of more than 16,000 troops.
The content of this exercise is extremely targeted, and the sword is aimed at China. The first -- "armed recapture of the islands around Palawan Province," aimed at Ren'ai Jiao and Scarborough Shoal on the mainland; the second -- the sinking of an "enemy" ship, which was specially selected as the retired Philippine Navy supply ship "Lake Carilaya," which is the only "Chinese-made naval asset" in the Philippines and a supply ship that we exported to the Philippines many years ago.
Naturally, our side will not sit idly by and ignore such a large-scale military exercise by the United States and the Philippines aimed at the mainland. According to Philippine media reports, the Chinese side has mobilized 124 maritime militia fishing boats to enter the waters of the US-Philippine joint exercise ahead of schedule to closely monitor the movements of the US-Philippine navy! At the same time, the mainland defense department has made a heavy statement: oppose the intervention of foreign forces and oppose the display of force in the South China Sea!
On April 27, the Chinese Navy's No. 793 "Uranus" electronic reconnaissance ship suddenly approached 2 nautical miles from the site of the US-Philippine "shoulder-to-shoulder" joint military exercise, and carried out close-range electronic surveillance of the US and Philippine ships, and this surveillance process lasted all day. And in this regard, the United States and the Philippines are also incomprehensible, in other words, you practice yours, we will take a look from the sidelines.
There is even more fierce, the Chinese Navy also dispatched two other warships on the 27th, one is the Type 054A missile frigate "Huangshan", and the other is the No. 1 scientific experiment ship of Dianke. This time, it is a direct slap in the face, and it can even be said to be a "humiliation" of the US-Philippine exercise. At that time, the "Huangshan" directly intruded into the sea area of the joint military exercise demarcated by the United States and the Philippines, 9 nautical miles away from the Philippine warship!
Judging from its trajectory, the No. 1 ship "completely ignored the feelings of the warships of the United States and the Philippines." Not only did it not avoid the sea area of the military exercise, but it passed directly through the middle of the sea area between the US and Philippine warships! It also shuttled freely back and forth in the exercise area many times, chasing the warships of various countries back and forth!

It can be said that if these warships of our army continue to "export with their faces," or if our army sends a few more warships over to "sail freely." It is estimated that the end of this large-scale joint military exercise between the United States and the Philippines will be announced ahead of schedule soon. Because this exercise can no longer be carried out, it is estimated that the US warships will not even dare to turn on the radar. It is estimated that the lungs of the United States and the Philippines are going to explode.

On April 29, AFP reported that Aquilino, commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, said in an interview that China pursues a "boiled frog" strategy to increase tensions in the region with "increasingly dangerous" military activities. Aquilino said a "living example" of China's "coercive activities" is near the so-called "Second Thomas Reef" in the Philippines, known in China as Ren'ai Reef.
Obviously, the US military is not happy! After being "taught a lesson" by us in the South China Sea, it did not dare to have a showdown or go head-to-head with us, and once again chose to come out and fight "verbal artillery." However, Aquilino's speech was obviously a backlash. China is not pursuing a "boiled frog" strategy, we are only taking decisive measures to defend our territorial and sovereign integrity.
The speeches of the US military top brass are obviously aimed at instigating neighboring countries to deteriorate relations with China. The United States itself does not dare to be fooled and instigate other countries to take action with the mainland. This is a manifestation of the incompetence of the United States. During his recent visit to China, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken also wanted to point fingers at us, demanding that we not buy Iranian oil and threatening the mainland not to export goods to Russia.
In response to Blinken's face-to-face threats, our side directly backhanded a few big "slaps". Not only did he openly increase imports of Iranian oil, but he also invited President Putin to visit China again in May. When Blinken left, we didn't even send a single person to drop off the plane. At the airport, only US Ambassador to China Burns shook hands with Blinken and said goodbye! Of course, when Blinken left, he did not forget to issue a fierce threat -- China must immediately stop supporting Russia, otherwise it will face punishment!
This is the helplessness of the United States against our China, and it is also the last hysterical powerless warning.
