Come and go without being rude also! According to statistics, since the beginning of this year, the US navy has trespassed into China's islands and reefs in the South China Sea five times, including 2 intrusions into the territorial waters of the Xisha Desert and 1 intrusion into the adjacent waters of the Nansha Sea. The US Navy's unauthorized intrusion into China's territorial waters has shown a generalized and normalized trend. If the Chinese navy only chooses to protest, warn, and drive away, it will undoubtedly be unable to stop the US side's trespassing behavior, and even make the situation of the struggle worse. Just as the so-called "Kou can go, I can also go", the Chinese navy has gone out of the ocean in front of the ocean and expeditioned to the adjacent waters of the US islands and reefs, which has become a "situation need" to balance the THREAT of the US side and give an account to the domestic people.
On August 30, according to the US Department of Defense, a Chinese naval formation appeared in the waters near the ALEU Islands on the US side. The US side said that the fleet contains China's most advanced 10,000-ton destroyer Type 055, as well as the Type 052D destroyer launched in recent years. In addition, there is a supply ship accompanying.

China's actions have indeed attracted the attention of the US side. The U.S. Coast Guard dispatched patrol ships, tracked the Chinese fleet, and "communicated in accordance with international regulations." The US side said that China's actions were professional.
According to the previous information, it can be learned that the Chinese side's operation began as early as around August 20. In the early morning of August 22, the Chinese naval formation entered the Sea of Japan through the Tsushima Strait, causing concern on the Japanese side. The Japanese side dispatched the "Spring Rain-class" destroyer and the P-1 anti-submarine patrol ship to follow. However, this fleet did not have much interest in Japan. On August 24, the Chinese fleet left the Sea of Japan via the Sogu Strait, passing through the southern tip of the Okhots Sea and heading straight for the American Aleutian Islands.
Around August 30, the Chinese fleet interspersed the waters of the Aleutian Islands in the United States, circled around, and then flew away. The US side began to keep silent about this matter, and did not disclose it until September 13, is it because it feels that it is not conducive to the hegemonic image of the US side?
However, what is strange is that for this action, the relevant domestic official media have not made any reports before - such a popular action, do not take the initiative to report, are they waiting to eat melon Wu Moufan, or waiting to forward the US report? Naval forces have taken practical actions to defend China's respect and show China's style, but the media T has not reported it, is it because domestic netizens complain that the navy is not tough enough to complain less?
In my memory, the Navy has a saying long ago, "We must use the sword of our navy to provide the initiative for national decision-making." The Navy took the initiative to do it, there is nothing to keep secret, Xuan C will have to keep up, right?
And the Navy's actions are not just that. On September 10, Japan's Ministry of Defense said it had found a Chinese destroyer and a suspected submarine in the adjacent area on the east side of Amami Oshima Island in Kagoshima.
According to the Japanese side, the submarine first appeared in the waters near Amami Oshima Island, and then appeared in the waters adjacent to the southwest of Yokota Island, so it circled the nearby waters for more than 2 days, and finally sailed to the East China Sea. The Japanese side said that diving near the territorial waters may involve provocation, and china's similar behavior is not the first time, and the Japanese side should strengthen its vigilance just in case. Of course, this time, the relevant domestic media T still did not take the initiative to report.
Speaking of which, it is not the first time that the Chinese fleet has "expeditioned" to the ISLANDs and reefs of the United States. As early as 2015, the Chinese fleet crossed the waters of the Aleutian Islands through the Bering Strait near Alaska on the U.S. side without informing the U.S. side. Since 2012, China's electronic reconnaissance vessels have often approached the waters near Hawaii on the US side to track and monitor the maritime military exercises held by the US side.
However, on the whole, The frequency of China's proximity to the waters near the United States is still a bit low, especially if the reports are not in place. Only by coming and going back and forth between China and the United States can we better demonstrate our attitude and show the achievements of naval construction, especially to the domestic people. At present, China's navy has made rapid progress, and the aircraft carrier formation already has two. It's time to keep going out into the oceans and show off the style of the navies of the great powers.
