Recently, many people may be able to feel that the atmosphere in the South China Sea can be said to be very tense.
Some time ago, CCTV even posted 3 news in a row; In addition, the Philippine side also gathered 200 "fishermen", intending to break into the South China Sea to touch porcelain; Relying on the support of the United States, it is still constantly provoking.
In order to suppress this evil trend, the mainland naturally will not be unprepared, and has dispatched several warships and a "10,000-ton drive" to lay a net of heaven and earth. [Listen to the song]
01 South China Sea Bright Sword
According to CCTV news reports: On May 8, the destroyer detachment of the southern military region of the mainland went to the South China Sea for actual combat training.
During this exercise, our side dispatched a variety of modern main combat ships such as the Haikou, Kunming, and Xianning, as well as the Type 055 destroyer Zunyi.
The main exercise included a variety of trainings, including naval operations, air defense and anti-missile operations, antisubmarine operations, and shore-to-shore operations, and live-fire was also conducted.
At the same time, as of May 15, 11 supply ships including Type 055, 052D, 054A, and Type 903 have been deployed in the South China Sea, and there are also H-6K and YJ-21 anti-ship missiles stationed here.
Including underwater anti-submarine, front-line transportation and supply, long-range sea operations and other capabilities, the YJ-21 missile has a range of 1,500 kilometers, which can effectively destroy enemy warships.
The purpose of such a task force with multi-faceted combat capability and supply in the South China Sea is also very clear, that is, to flex its muscles to the Philippines, the United States, and other countries.
Recently, the Philippine side has become more and more arrogant in its provocations in Ren'ai Jiao, Scarborough Shoal and other areas, and has also continued to collude with the United States in an attempt to provoke greater contradictions.
The United States even sent 11,000 US troops to the Philippines to hold a so-called "shoulder-to-shoulder" large-scale naval exercise, the purpose of which is naturally to threaten China.
At the same time, the United States has also decided to deploy intermediate-range ballistic missiles in the Philippines, which can reach the mainland area.
In addition, countries including Australia and Japan have also shown that they want to follow in the footsteps of the United States and send warships to cooperate with the United States and the Philippines in conducting exercises.
Therefore, in view of the continuous "demonization" of these countries in the South China Sea, the mainland will naturally not give up on its laurels, and has made full preparations in the South China Sea through reciprocal exercises and increased deployment of warships.
02 The South China Sea is heating up
In fact, in recent times, we can see that the Philippines is indeed very arrogant, and it can be said that it is the most jumpy one since India and Vietnam.
Whether it is Marcos Jr.'s public statement that he tore up the China-Philippines agreement; or openly ramming our ships, and then "touching porcelain"; and joint US military exercises and provocations, which can be said to be extremely arrogant.
And after our repeated warnings, the Philippine side did not even restrain in the slightest, and even stepped up its provocations against China.
On May 15, a group in the Philippines called a "non-governmental organization" organized 200 "fishermen", five commercial boats, and several fishing boats to plan a three-day "storming of Scarborough Shoal."
But in fact, this "non-governmental organization" called "This is Ours" has been funded by the United States for a long time, and has repeatedly stirred up trouble on the South China Sea issue.
This time, their goal is to use "fishermen" as meat shields, and carry reporters and social activists to the waters of Huangyan Island to "touch porcelain" with the mainland.
The self-defense carried out by our side is smeared as attacking the "ordinary fishermen" of the Philippines, and these reporters are the so-called "witnesses" fabricated by them.
At the same time, the United States also sent the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier strike group to Southeast Asia, but the ship turned around and headed for Singapore during the "porcelain" operation of the so-called "civil organization" in the Philippines.
In fact, from such performance, we can also see that the root cause of the escalation of the situation in the South China Sea this time is that the United States is behind the scenes, and the Philippines is carrying out the actions in the front in an attempt to provoke a greater conflict.
However, the Philippines is at most just a tool for the United States to provoke conflict, and the United States says that it will provide guarantees, but it can be seen from the temporary change of direction of the aircraft carrier and the changes during military exercises that they are not really willing to directly clash.
However, "good words are hard to persuade damn ghosts", and the Philippine side not only did not stop because of the use of the United States behind its back, but even continued to provoke and try to make this farce bigger and bigger.
03 Tianluo Net
On May 15, on the first day of the "Philippine NGO Storming Scarborough Shoal", mainland coast guard vessels had already been deployed in advance and carried out rights protection and law enforcement here.
The coast guard vessels effectively stopped all Philippine vessels that had collided with the mainland's sovereignty in the South China Sea from Scarborough Shoal, and then the large fishing boats turned around when they saw that their movements were blocked.
However, the matter is not completely over now, and the mainland coast guard patrols in the area are still continuing.
At the same time, since the Philippines began to continuously provoke the mainland, China has also carried out various internal and external countermeasures.
Since April, the mainland has held talks with Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, and many other ASEAN countries, with the aim of increasing cooperation.
Among so many countries, the Philippines is naturally skipped, and according to the map summarized by netizens, we can see that the countries around the Philippines have basically reached cooperation with the mainland.
Moreover, these countries surrounded the Philippines in a C-shape, so we can also call it "C-type mediation", and the main purpose is naturally to use diplomatic advantages to get neighboring countries to restrict the Philippines.
At the same time, Japan and the ROK have also recently carried out military exchanges with the mainland, whether it is the dialogue between the foreign ministers of China and the ROK, or the friendly visit of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) at the invitation of the Japanese side.
It can be seen that the Japanese and ROK sides hope to take the initiative to communicate militarily with the Chinese side so that they can understand in advance possible changes in the situation in the future.
Internally, the mainland has made a lot of disclosures and reports on the Philippine side's actions, which can also make the masses more aware of the other side's violation of the mainland's sovereignty.
At the same time, it can be said that it is fully prepared for large-scale actual combat training in the South China Sea, as well as the deployment of a variety of warships in advance and the presence of YJ-21 anti-ship missiles, aimed at possible threats.
Therefore, as far as the Philippines and the United States are concerned, the mainland has already laid a "net of heaven and earth" in the South China Sea, and it depends on whether he will stop in time or just listen to the words of the United States and jump into it.
As said in "Han Feizi": "The country is small but not humble, the strength is small but not afraid of the strong, the rude and insults the neighbors, and the greedy and clumsy friends can die." ”
