1. After China really left its hand, the Philippines was blocked by the Changsha ship before it entered Ren'ai Jiao.
The Philippine side plans to carry out a "Christmas Caravan in the West African Sea", which is expected to enter the South China Sea under the escort of the Philippine Coast Guard aboard the maritime training ship "Captain Felix Oka", the first stop of which is Second Thomas Shoal. However, the Chinese Navy giant ship 052D Changsha immediately appeared in front of the Philippine **, blocking their way and preventing their movements.
The Chinese Navy has deployed a number of ** in the South China Sea, including Type 052C and Type 052D destroyers, Type 072 landing ships, Type 053H3 frigates, Type 022 missile boats, Type 056A corvettes, etc., forming a powerful naval formation. As one of the main ships of the Chinese Navy, the Changsha ship has a displacement of 7,000 tons and is equipped with a variety of powerful systems, such as 130 mm single-barreled naval guns, 64 vertical launch units, Type 346A active phased array radar, etc. Neither the Philippines nor the rest of Southeast Asia can compete with it.
China has long been prepared for various countermeasures, as early as when Western satellites took pictures of many Chinese ships docked at Mischief Reef, China had already left enough hands behind and anticipated the actions of the Philippines. The operation is expected to involve more than 140 so-called Filipino "civilian volunteers" who are in danger of disintegrating on the Captain Felix Oka maritime training vessel, which ran aground on Second Thomas Shoal. The Philippine side did not just provide supplies, but planned to carry out simple repair work on the wrecked ship.
China's strong fleet and its response to subsequent developments have deprived the Philippine fleet of the courage to take a step beyond the minefield. China is ready for all sorts of responses, even taking into account the intervention of the United States in the operation. China does not want the situation in the South China Sea to deteriorate, so it has shown restraint in response to provocations by the Philippines, but the situation would have been different if the United States had been personally involved. China must set an example by not only dealing with the broken ship that the Philippines illegally ran aground on China's Renjiao, but also recovering nine islands and reefs, including Thitu Island, which were occupied by the Philippines. Therefore, the Philippines' provocative behavior cannot shake China's ability to control the overall strategic situation in the South China Sea. In the face of absolute power, no matter whether the Philippine side is conspiracy or conspiracies, everything is in vain.
1. A strong formation of the Chinese Navy
China has deployed a number of ** in the South China Sea, including Type 052C and Type 052D destroyers, Type 072 landing ships, Type 053H3 frigates, Type 022 missile boats, Type 056A corvettes, etc. These ships are equipped with advanced first-class systems and have strong combat capabilities, forming a solid line of defense in the South China Sea.
2. Interception of the Philippine fleet
The Chinese Navy's giant ship 052D Changsha appeared in front of the Philippine fleet and blocked their way. As one of the main ships of the Chinese Navy, the Changsha has powerful equipment and combat effectiveness to deter the actions of the Philippine fleet.
3. Preparation for follow-up development
China has anticipated the Philippines' actions and has been left behind. As early as when Western satellites took pictures of the Chinese ** ship docked at Mischief Reef, China had made various preparations for response, including reinforcements to the fleet and arrangements for follow-up operations.
4. Restraint and response
China has shown restraint in the South China Sea, but it has also warned the Philippines not to provoke China's bottom line. China does not want the situation in the South China Sea to deteriorate, but if the United States is personally involved, China will set an example and act decisively to safeguard its sovereignty and interests.
China has always maintained control of the overall strategic situation on the South China Sea issue and does not want the situation to deteriorate further. China has shown restraint in response to the Philippines' frequent provocations, but it has also demonstrated its resolute stance on defending its national interests.
China has taken a series of measures, including military deployment and diplomatic mediation, to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea. China has ignored the Philippines' provocative behavior, and the Coast Guard is sufficient to respond. China has firm confidence that the Philippines' actions will not affect China's control of the overall strategic situation in the South China Sea.
In the face of absolute power, the provocations of the Philippines, whether conspiracy or conspiracy, are doomed to be futile. China's navy is strong, with a variety of ships and systems such as Type 072 landing ships, which can effectively cope with various challenges.
Finally, the point of view of this article is that if the United States were to be personally involved in the South China Sea, the situation would change completely. China must act and will take the opportunity to recover the islands and reefs illegally occupied by the Philippines. However, the views expressed in this article are those of the authors and are not supported by concrete evidence. At the same time, the deployment and actions of the Chinese Navy mentioned in the article need to be further confirmed. Only through more authentic information and analysis of perspectives can we better understand the complexity of the South China Sea issue and China's response strategy.
