Recently, the South China Sea Fleet has made frequent moves, and a number of 022 missile boats have formed a formation to carry out actual combat exercises, which has attracted widespread attention. The target of this exercise turned out to be an "armed fishing boat", which makes people wonder about the reason behind it. Many sources point to Vietnam, a neighbor that has frequently provoked itself in the South China Sea. The South China Sea Fleet's tough response to this issue shows China's determination to maintain stability in the maritime area.
It is worth noting that Vietnam's performance has been relatively restrained in recent years, and many experts believe that the strong presence of the Chinese coast guard has played a deterrent role. However, does the recent full firepower of the 022 missile boat mean that some of the actions of the puppet coast guard on the other side have aroused China's concern?Some analysts have pointed out that perhaps the South China Sea Fleet's drill may be a strong response to the fact that the South China Sea Fleet has behaved arrogantly in such incidents as the detention of fishermen along the mainland's coast.
However, Vietnam is not the only concern of the South China Sea Fleet. The Philippines' recent moves, particularly its provocations in the waters adjacent to China's Second Thomas Shoal, have raised questions about its true intentions. From organizing 40 civilian vessels to deliver "Christmas gifts" to illegal "beaching"** to the recent vain attempt to trespass into our waters, the Philippines' actions raise questions about whether it is supported by external forces.
The performance of the United States in this process is also interesting. The Littoral Combat Ship's attempt to trespass into the waters adjacent to China's Second Thomas Shoal is similar to that of the Philippines, causing China to be on high alert. However, at the same time, the United States is trying to restore military communication between China and the United States**, does this mean that they are starting to be cautious in their handling of the South China Sea issue?
Overall, the South China Sea Fleet's exercise sent a strong warning to provocateurs such as Vietnam and the Philippines. China is friendly, but by no means easy to bully. While exercising restraint, China will resolutely defend its territorial rights and interests. In the event of a cross-border provocation, the PLA will respond at any time and bear the consequences.
Overall, the actions of the South China Sea Fleet demonstrate a deliberate decision-making and a clear response to external challenges. The situation in the South China Sea is complex and full of uncertainties, but China's position is clear and determined, and I believe that through this exercise, all parties can have a clearer understanding of the complexity of the situation in the South China Sea and China's firm position in it.
