The Chinese Navy has always been steadfast in defending the sovereignty and integrity of its territorial waters. For those foreign ships that intruded into China's territorial waters, the Chinese Navy dared to show their swords, fight wits and courage, and won victories. In an impressive example, in September 2018, the Chinese guided-missile destroyer USS Lanzhou decisively cut off the USS Decatur, forcing it to change course, with the closest distance between the two sides being just 41 meters.
On 3 June this year, the Chinese Navy once again demonstrated this spirit of perseverance and staged a thrilling scene of "our ship was ordered to ram your ship." On the same day, a US destroyer "Zhong Yun" and a Canadian frigate "Montreal" brazenly entered the Taiwan Strait under the pretext of freedom of navigation. The move by the United States and Canada is a complete provocation against China's sovereignty, and the US Seventh Fleet has shamelessly declared that it is a "routine" operation in "waters used by international law on freedom of navigation and overflight on the high seas."
In this regard, China's Eastern Theater will not tolerate the arrogance of the United States and Canada, and quickly dispatched a number of ships to conduct routine tracking. At least 3 ** are involved, including 1 Type 052D missile destroyer and 2 Type 056 frigates. The Chinese fleet monitored and followed the two arrogant ** at a distance, and informed them by radio: they are intruding into Chinese territory, please change course immediately.
However, the US ** ship scoffed at China's warning, and went so far as to claim that this is international water and that they have the right to pass through. Seeing that the warning was ineffective, the Chinese fleet acted decisively. They adjusted their course and accelerated their rush toward the US missile destroyer "Zhongyun." One of the Type 056 corvettes cut into the course of the destroyer "Zhongyun" at full speed and was apparently ready for a ramming. When the commander of the Canadian frigate, Paul Mumford, saw this scene and immediately dialed the warning of the United States, telling them to move quickly to avoid a collision.
However, the "Zhong Yun" did not immediately take evasive actions, but asked the Chinese ** ship to stay away. Perhaps, it thinks that the Chinese ** ship is bluffing and does not dare to ram at all. After all, there is a huge gap in the tonnage of the two sides, the "Zhongyun" has a full load displacement of up to 9300 tons, while the Chinese Type 056 frigate is light and has a full load displacement of 1400 tons.
However, the U.S. Navy underestimated the Chinese Navy's determination to protect its territorial waters and its courage to meet in a narrow way. The Type 056 frigate continued to rush towards the "Zhongyun" at high speed, and the United States realized its stupidity. Urgently changing course and slowing down, in the end, the two sides were only 137 meters when they came closer, which is a rather dangerous distance. Under the supervision of the Chinese Navy, the two US and Canadian ships left the Taiwan Strait in an orderly manner. Paul Mumford lamented: "This maneuver of the Chinese ** ship is really unprofessional. ”
The Chinese 052D missile destroyer has a displacement of more than 7,000 tons, the Type 056 frigate has a full load displacement of 1,400 tons, and the total displacement of the three ** is less than 10,000 tons. The total displacement of the two US and Canadian destroyers exceeds 14,000 tons, of which the destroyer "Zhongyun" has a full load displacement of 9,300 tons and the "Montreal" has a full load displacement of 5,400 tons. Although it did not have an advantage in tonnage, the Chinese Navy launched a collision without hesitation. Behind this is the firm determination of the Chinese first-class ships to protect the sovereignty of territorial waters, and they clearly know that behind them is the East China Sea Fleet, the Eastern Theater of Operations, and a powerful China.
All along, US warships have repeatedly provoked China under the banner of "freedom of navigation". This time, the Chinese Navy fought back strongly, which is really exciting, and it also makes people proud of the rise of China's leading forces. It is believed that for a period of time in the future, the US first-class warships will no longer dare to be arrogant and domineering at China's doorstep. However, we must also be vigilant that the United States has always held grudges but has not learned lessons. In a short time, they may relent, but as time goes on, they are likely to be provocative again. Therefore, the Chinese Navy must be ready at any time to meet the next round of provocations by the US Navy.
The Chinese Navy has demonstrated great self-confidence and firm will in its feat of defending sovereignty in territorial waters. This incident in the Taiwan Strait once again highlights the squadron's determination to protect national interests and its resolute and resolute attitude in the face of provocations.
First of all, the Chinese Navy has demonstrated a high degree of mobility and response capabilities when performing tasks to defend the territory. In the face of the menacing United States and Canada, China's Eastern Theater immediately reacted and sent a number of ** ships for routine tracking. This efficient command and response speed reflects the squadron's excellent organization and execution capabilities in emergency situations. Moreover, in the confrontation between the ships, the Chinese Navy issued reasonable and resolute warnings through radio and other means, which fully demonstrated the maturity and steadiness of the squadron in handling foreign affairs.
Secondly, the Chinese Navy has demonstrated a resolute belief in and preservation of territorial integrity. No matter how powerful the other side is, the Chinese Navy will not be afraid to stand up and defend the dignity of the territory with practical actions. In the confrontation with the United States and Canada, the Chinese ** ship not only showed superb control skills, but also dared to take decisive action when it was obviously at a disadvantage in tonnage, demonstrating the strength and determination of the Chinese Navy. Behind this courage to collide is the squadron's firm belief in the dignity of the country and its unshakable belief in territorial integrity.
In addition, this incident also allowed the world to see the rise of the Chinese Navy again. Different from the passive response in the past, the Chinese ** ship adopted the strategy of taking the initiative this time and successfully repelled the provocation. This not only shows the continuous upgrading of the technical equipment of the squadron, but also sends a message to the international community: the squadron has entered a new height, with more and more powerful strength and a more confident attitude.
However, we should not take this incident lightly. As a superpower, the military strength and strategic intentions of the United States cannot be underestimated. Although the Chinese Navy has shown great strength in this incident, it needs to be highly vigilant at all times and should not be taken lightly. At the same time, it is also a reminder that tensions in international affairs are ever-present and that China needs to continuously upgrade its defense capabilities to ensure the country's long-term peace and stability.
Overall, the Chinese Navy's defense of the Taiwan Strait was a successful feat, demonstrating the strength and determination of the squadron. This also provides a more solid support for China's position in international affairs. It is hoped that in the future, the squadron will be able to achieve more victories on the road of defending its territorial integrity.
