The J-16, which cruised the airspace of Yellowstone Island, the 054A escort fleet ranks in the surrounding waters, why did China suddenly strengthen its vigilance in this area?
The Philippines has tried to break into Huangyan Island many times in the past six months. Why is it forced to evacuate in a short time every time? The United States continues to provide military assistance to the Philippines and send ships and planes to provoke it. What does it want to achieve in the South China Sea chess game?
The sudden tension of the ocean in the Yellow Island is not at all the initiative of the Chinese side, it is entirely pushed out by the repeated trials of the Philippines and the back of the United States. In the past six months, the provocation in the Philippines has not stopped, and once more than once has been clearly bold.
In March, the U.S. Secretary of Defense visited Manila and announced the deployment of anti-ship missile unmanned vehicles to the Philippines, and the Philippines followed in the same month to engage in joint training in the vicinity with the U.S. and Japanese three-nation warships. By September, the change was even more acute, the 16th directly sent more than 10 official vessel groups into the sea, revealing that they wanted to rely on a large number of people to break through control, and the result was driven away in 37 minutes, and the crew also waved a white flag.
What's even more irritating is that during the National Day in October, they sent boats to approach under the guise of "distributing supplies to fishermen", trying to secretly exercise actual control. This trick of "civil infiltration + military cooperation" cannot hide its intentions at all.
The actions of the United States behind the scenes are even more alarming. In April, the Philippines had just approved the sale of US$5.58 billion of F-16 fighter jets to the Philippines, including a full set of missiles and training. The Philippine Defense Minister immediately shouted that he would buy the 2029 land-based "Tifeng" missile system.
The U.S. military itself has not only obtained the right to use the nine Philippine military bases, but also pulled the Philippine army in the Padan Islands near Taiwan for landing training, making it clear that the Philippines should be a frontpost to hold China back.。Faced with this joint situation of "the Philippines picking trouble and the United States blood transfusion", China will be really passive if it does not strengthen its vigilance.
Moreover, the Chinese side has strengthened its warning against the “Law and Law + Military” situation. On September 9, the State Council officially re-established the national nature reserve of Yellow Island, and the core area strictly prohibited the entry of unauthorized vessels, which legally established the basis for control,Military is more tough, the J-16 "bomb truck" hanged missile cruise, the aircraft 12 outer hanging points can be loaded with air-air missiles, air-ground missiles, the threat in the sky can stop, the ocean's target can be hit.
There are also 054A frigate arrays such as Chenzhou and Liuzhou ships on the sea surface. The 32-unit vertical launch system takes into account anti-ship, air defense and anti-submarine. The monitoring network woven by sea and air cannot miss any movement at all.
On September 12, the Fukushima also carried an escort crew in the South Sub-South Sea, the electromagnetic launch system was ready, directly with the Southern battlefield troops to form a response, and the "regional refusal" capacity was built, even the American aircraft carrier's deterrence was not useful. Such a combination of punches is actually telling the outside world that the sovereignty red line of Huangyan Island cannot be touched.
Every time the Philippines tries hard, it ends hastily. To put it bluntly, it means that it is "unable to beat, unreasonable, and unreliable."First of all, China's response to the disaster, the September 16th evacuation of the "Marine Police + Navy" synergistic advantages is fully embodied.The Philippines's more than 10 ships just approached, the Marine Police ship first came up to shout the warning, synchronized the position information to the nearby naval vessels, the J-16 fighter aircraft also soon appeared in the airspace.
This kind of three-dimensional control leaves no place for the Philippine ship to hide. Want to break in? The Navy's missiles are not for decoration; want to cheat? The Coast Guard used the Maritime Traffic Safety Law to set up rules one by one, and also filmed a video throughout the process to retain a certificate. The Philippines did not even have room for quibble.
More importantly, the hard power of Chinese equipment is crushed. The majority of Philippine ships sent are official ships, let alone weapons, even defensive capabilities are weak, and the Chinese escort ship 054A's anti-ship missile range easily covers the surrounding waters, and the J-16 airborne missile can be more accurate in hitting marine targets. As long as the philippines cross the red line, the response time from warning to strike will not exceed 10 minutes.
During the eviction in September, the Philippine crew saw the J-16 's weapon rack from afar and knew that it would not be good if they continued to waste any longer. They could only wave the white flag and admit defeat. 37 minutes to evacuate was actually the fastest choice.
The Philippines itself knows well that the United States '"support" is all false.The United States sold him F-16 fighter jets, but the delivery had to wait several years. Now only some second-hand equipment can be used; The promised right to use military bases is actually the opportunity of the US military to plunge its own forces into the South China Sea, which is not really helping the Philippines to "support" at all.
This year, Mefi "shoulder-to-shoulder" military exercises engaged in the scale of 14,000, test missiles hit target ships, the Philippines also showcased, but when it came to the confrontation of Yunnan Island, the U.S. military aircraft only dared to watch in the distance, and did not dare to approach the conflict area.
Since the establishment of national nature reserves, China's control has been based on the "Natural Reserves Regulations".The Philippine side shouted “preserving the rights and interests of fishermen” and could not stand – the core areas of the protected area were strictly prohibited from unauthorized entry, and the Chinese side has always guaranteed the rights of legal fishermen to operate, the Philippine pretext was broken at once.
In fact, there is no consensus within the Philippines. The Marcos government wants to rely on the United States to gain benefits, but ordinary people know that following the United States will not lead to good results.The fisheries resources of the South China Sea are important to the Philippines, and when the situation turns turbulent, the first one to be affected is the livelihoods of the Filipino fishermen.
Previously, Philippine media reported that after every forced breach, China would temporarily restrict Philippine fishermen from entering some sea areas. The fishermen's complaints reached Manila, and the government could not bear the pressure and could only ask the island-intruding ships to evacuate quickly to avoid causing the conflict to escalate.
The U.S. is so fond of the South China Sea, not for the Philippines, but to turn this place into a "chessboard" to contain China, the Philippines is just the chessboard he put on.From the strategic layout, after the U.S. got the right to use nine military bases in the Philippines, it is equivalent to buriing “nails” in the South China Sea, which can deploy reconnaissance aircraft and missile systems to directly monitor ship activity in the South China Sea.
In addition to the US-Japanese-Indo-Australian "quarter-party security dialogue", the AUKUS alliance, and defense agreements with Southeast Asian countries, the United States is actually trying to wave a siege network, wanting to get China's maritime forces trapped in the near sea.
However, the U.S. counterparts are useless. After the Fujian ship went south, the combat power formed by the J-35, J-15T carrier-based aircraft and Kongjing-600 early warning aircraft it carried has already made the US military feel afraid;We have deployed two aircraft carriers, four 055s and twelve nuclear submarines in the South China Sea, forming a complete chain of operations, "regional rejection" capacity is growing.
ASEAN countries are not stupid either. Most of them want to strike a balance between China and the United States, and they will not really follow the United States in muddy waters. If the United States wants to contain China by disrupting the South China Sea, it will only make its credibility worse and worse in the end. After all, everyone can see clearly who is sincerely maintaining peace and who is causing trouble everywhere.
Huangshan Island has been China's inherent territory since ancient times, and whether China has strengthened its vigilance or driven off its intruders, they are safeguarding their sovereignty.If the Philippines continues to be used by the United States as a gun, it will only hit the wall once; if the United States is determined to make small moves in the South China Sea, it will not change the large trend of strength contrast.
