The situation in the South China Sea has really been "turbulent" recently, with waves of unsettled and wave after wave. United States and the Philippines, the "iron buddies," have been very lively recently, and military cooperation is called a close one. The US has sent $500 million in military aid to the Philippines, which has really added fuel to the fire, and the entire South China Sea has been disturbed.
Just when everyone was in a hurry, on July 31, the Chinese side suddenly made a move to "change the general like a knife". The change of commanders in the Northern and Southern Theaters instantly set off a wave in the international arena. General Wu Yanan took over as commander of the Southern Theater, while the new commander of the Northern Theater was General Huang Ming. As soon as the news of this change of generals came out, everyone was discussing what this meant, and whether they were going to make a big move?
For the defense of the South China Sea, this change of generals is indeed of far-reaching strategic significance. There are more and more "small actions" by the United States and the Philippines, and China must have strong countermeasures. The commanders of the Southern Theater and the Northern Theater after the change of generals are all veterans with rich combat experience, and this point of view is to upgrade our defense system and shift from the past coastal defense to more offensive ocean-going operations, which is definitely a big deal!
Many netizens are leaving messages, some of them saying: "This change of general is to tell the United States and the Philippines, don't go wild in the South China Sea, we are not vegetarians!" Some people also left a message and ridiculed: "As soon as General Wu and General Huang take office, Meifei's careful thoughts are afraid that they will be cool." Indeed, the timing and method of this change of generals made many people feel that this was giving the United States and the Philippines a "dismount".
Internationally, it is obvious that the US side cannot sit still. Various analytical articles have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, such as "what does China's change mean" and "the new situation in the game between China and the United States in the South China Sea", and so on, and the US side obviously attaches great importance to this change of generals. China's move has indeed sent a strong warning signal that the South China Sea is not a place where you can go wild, and that we have the ability and determination to protect our territory and interests.
This change is not only a replacement of personnel, but also a strategic adjustment and upgrade. The South China Sea issue has always been an important point of contention between China and the United States, and the recent moves by the United States and the Philippines are clearly aimed at creating more friction and tension in the South China Sea. But it is clear that China will not sit idly by, and this change of generals is the best response.
Some netizens said: "This time we have changed generals, I feel that we are more confident, no longer a simple defense, but to take the initiative!" Someone else echoed: "Yes, the defense can only be beaten passively, and only by taking the initiative can we really grasp the initiative!" "It can be seen that everyone is full of expectations and confidence in this change.
Of course, there are also some who have expressed concern that this change will lead to further tensions. Someone left a message: "The US side will not give up easily, will there be a greater conflict after this change of generals?" Some people also replied: "We can't blindly back down, we have to be tough when we should be tough, otherwise others will only gain an inch." ”
In such an environment of public opinion, China's decision to change generals is undoubtedly a bombshell. The South China Sea issue is complex and sensitive, and China must have strong countermeasures. The appointment of Generals Wu Yanan and Huang Ming indicates that China's defense system in the South China Sea will be more complete and its countermeasures will be more forceful.
Although the US side reacted quickly, it was clear that it had been prepared for this change. China's move is not only to deal with the current situation, but also to prepare for the future strategic layout. The South China Sea is our homeland, and we have the responsibility and the ability to protect it.
Netizens also commented on this change of generals, some said: "This is a tough statement by China, tell the United States and the Philippines, don't act rashly!" Another said, "I hope that General Wu and General Huang can lead us to a new path to make the South China Sea more stable and secure." "In any case, everyone is full of anticipation and confidence in this change.
Overall, this change will be an important step for China to deal with the escalation of the situation in the South China Sea. Through the change of officers, China has not only enhanced its defense capabilities in the South China Sea, but also sent a strong warning signal to the United States and the Philippines. Although the international community has reacted differently, China's decision undoubtedly demonstrates our determination and strength.
The "small moves" of the United States and the Philippines will not change the pattern of the South China Sea, and China's change of generals is to better protect our interests and security. In the days to come, we believe that General Wu Yanan and General Huang Ming will definitely lead us to more victories in the South China Sea. Let's wait and see what happens next in this game.
