For some time now, the US military has frequently dispatched ships and military planes to the sea and airspace around China to carry out intelligence reconnaissance activities. At the beginning of October, a US nuclear submarine also injured US soldiers due to hitting an unknown object in the South China Sea, however, the US military still did not restrain, and recently, the US warship even broke into the South China Sea and the East China Sea in two ways. According to the "South China Sea Strategic Situational Awareness" program platform on October 28, the US Navy aircraft carrier "Carl Vinson" continued to operate near About 100 nautical miles north of Wan'an Beach, and was sailing eastward at about 10 a.m. In addition, according to the latest news of the US Navy's "Dewey" destroyer released on October 26, the "Dewey" destroyer was active in the East China Sea that day, organizing the crew to conduct visual information collection, ship power equipment maintenance and other projects of training. According to photos released by the US military, during the visual information collection training, a number of crew members used cameras, cameras and other equipment on the bridge to shoot at the sea surface.
It is understood that the "Dewey" is the latest U.S. Navy deployment to the Asia-Pacific region of an Arleigh-class destroyer, its home port is located in Yokosuka, Japan. A few days ago, Japanese netizens filmed the ship going out to sea from a Japanese port. Unlike other Arleigh-class destroyers, the DEWY was equipped with a laser-dazzling weapon known as Odin and was the first destroyer in the U.S. Navy to be equipped with a laser weapon. The laser weapon, whose full name is the "Naval Optical Dazzling Interception System", is an optical sensor mainly used to jam and intercept unmanned aerial vehicles, and is mounted on the close defense weapon gun position on the front deck of the destroyer "Dewey".
It is worth mentioning that just when the US warships and soldiers broke into the South China Sea and the East China Sea in two ways, the PLA successively drew a number of forbidden areas. According to the news on the website of the China Maritime Safety Administration on October 29, on the same day, the Guangdong Maritime Safety Administration issued a navigation warning: from October 29 to 31, military training was conducted within a 6-kilometer radius of the Beibu Gulf, and foreign ships were prohibited from entering; a day before, the Dalian Maritime Safety Bureau issued a navigation warning: from 16:00 on October 31 to 16:00 on November 14, military missions were carried out in a water area north of the Yellow Sea in the Bohai Strait, and foreign ships were prohibited from entering.
In view of the ACTIVITIES OF the US military in China's vicinity, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian stressed at a regular press conference at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 26th that the South China Sea is the common home of regional countries and should not become a hunting ground for the United States to seek geopolitical self-interest. The United States frequently and on a large scale sends warships and warplanes to the South China Sea to provoke and provoke, show off force, undermine the freedom of navigation in the South China Sea, and threaten the sovereignty and security of China and other countries. The US side should change course, stop the above-mentioned erroneous acts, and play a positive role in peace and stability in the South China Sea.
In addition, Su Xiaohui, deputy director of the Institute of American Studies of the China Institute of International Studies, believes that recently, various US military moves in the South China Sea have been continuous, showing a trend of "intensifying the cost", and the motive behind this is the United States' attempt to "stir up" the South China Sea, stir up regional topics, and then undermine regional peace and security. The previous COLLISION of US nuclear submarines once again showed that the United States is the biggest saboteur of world peace and regional security. At the same time, military expert Zhang Junshe also said that the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea is the most important legal document regulating contemporary international maritime relations. As one of the world's largest maritime nations, the United States has never acceded to the Convention. For a long time, under the banner of "freedom of navigation and overflight," the US military has frequently dispatched aircraft carriers, strategic bombers, nuclear submarines, and other advanced weapons platforms to flaunt its might and stir up trouble in the South China Sea, seriously threatening regional national security and stability and aggravating regional tensions.
