The South China Sea, a mysterious blue sea, has become a game game between China and the United States in recent years. From the frequent activities of US aircraft carriers to the deployment of electronic warfare aircraft, every wind and grass has attracted the attention of the world. However, the recent news of the dismissal of the US military commander has made further waves in the South China Sea. What's the story behind this?Why was this commander suddenly removed from his post?Who will win and who will lose the contest between China and the United States in the South China Sea?Let's unravel this mystery together.
The South China Sea, this vast ocean, has always been the focus of global attention. It has abundant resources and an important strategic position, so it has also become an arena for great power games. Recently, the situation in the South China Sea has made waves again, and after the US aircraft carrier "flexed its muscles" in the South China Sea, the US commander was removed from his post, which cannot help but make people curious about the reasons behind it. And this incident also seems to indicate that the competition between China and the United States in the South China Sea is about to enter a new stage.
Kurt, the removed commander of the U.S. Army, led an electronic warfare squadron with EA-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft. In October of this year, the squadron was deployed to the USS Carl Vinson, which then entered the South China Sea for what it called "freedom of navigation." However, while Kurt's electronic warfare squadron was operating in the South China Sea, the U.S. military announced that he would be removed from his post, emphasizing that U.S. naval commanders need to have high standards of professional and personal integrity. This can't help but make people wonder what happened to make the US military top brass decide to remove this commander from his position?
It is understood that shortly after the "Carl Vinson" aircraft carrier entered the South China Sea, electromagnetic clutter appeared on the weather radar in Xiamen, covering even more than 450 kilometers. At that time, it was reported that this may be the result of an electromagnetic contest between China and the United States in the South China Sea. If this news is true, then it means that the competition between China and the United States in the South China Sea has entered a new stage. And the outcome of this contest seems to have had a significant impact on the top of the US military, which eventually led to Kurt's dismissal.
In fact, this is not the first confrontation between China and the United States in the South China Sea. At the end of October this year, a U.S. B-52 bomber was intercepted by PLA fighters in the airspace over the South China Sea. At that time, the proximity of the two sides attracted widespread attention from the outside world. Prior to that, at the end of May, a US reconnaissance plane was also intercepted by a PLA J-16 fighter when it was operating in the skies over the South China Sea. These incidents show that with the improvement of the technology and overall quality of PLA pilots, they have dared to take more daring and aggressive actions in response to the provocations of the US military.
Of course, the U.S. military is not willing to suffer setbacks in the South China Sea. In order to pull back the game, the US military has tried to put pressure on China by stepping up military deployments and activities in the South China Sea. However, such an approach will only bring more negative impacts to the U.S.-China relationship and exacerbate regional tensions.
In the face of provocation and pressure from the US military, China has always remained calm and restrained, and firmly upheld national sovereignty and territorial integrity. At the same time, it is necessary to enhance our ability and confidence in dealing with emergencies by strengthening military construction and training in actual combat. We hope that the US side will recognize the reality, respect China's core interests and concerns, and stop its provocative actions in the South China Sea. Only in this way can China and the United States resolve differences and frictions through dialogue and consultation, and jointly safeguard regional peace and stability.
