There is not much time left for the United States in the South China Sea!
On August 11, according to reference reports, a US Navy P-8A "Sea God" carried media reporters to fly over Zhubi Reef , Yongshu Reef , Chigua Reef and Meiji Reef of the island, trying to peek at the construction of national defense facilities on the island. However, during the process of public provocation by the US military, this advanced reconnaissance aircraft received as many as 6 expulsion warnings from our military.
For a moment, domestic public opinion in the United States exploded! Some expressed "shock" at the militarization of the South China Sea islands and reefs, some felt "incredible" by China's tough stance, and some exclaimed: The South China Sea region has not left much time for the United States.
When I went to someone else's house to peep, I was kicked out by my master, but instead I talked about the owner's behavior of beating dogs at home, which really makes people laugh. We are no longer accustomed to the US military of colluding with the media and promoting the threat of China.
my country's Foreign Minister Wang Yi once responded to the United States in a simple and straightforward manner, saying that China's construction activities on its own islands and reefs in the South China Sea have nothing to do with militarization, which is the same as the deployment of military facilities on Guam and Hawaii. There is nothing worth hype. Chinese Ambassador to the UK Liu Xiaoming once clearly stated that the United States is the initiator of militarization of the South China Sea, and China cannot tolerate the United States' behavior of coming to the South China Sea to show its muscles with force!
It has to be said that for a long time, the ecstasy soup sold by the United States once made some countries in the South China Sea dizzy, hoping to gain more benefits in the South China Sea by winning over the United States. Japan, Europe and other countries followed suit and joined the team to encircle China. The calm South China Sea area soon fell into the eye of a storm.
Under the strong instigation of the Americans, the Aquino III government became the first to emerge and concocted the South China Sea arbitration case despite China's strong opposition. After the results of the South China Sea arbitration case were released, Singapore immediately expressed its approval, and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong , also called on relevant countries to respect the arbitration results. Vietnam, Malaysia and other South China Sea parties were overjoyed and eager to try; France, Britain, Australia and other countries outside the South China Sea sent warships to the South China Sea to challenge trouble in the name of "freedom of navigation". Send the "strongest signal".
In order to support the "brothers", the United States frequently dispatched B-52 bombers and advanced ships to and from the South China Sea, and ran within 12 nautical miles of the islands and reefs in the South China Sea. US Secretary of Defense Matis publicly stated that the United States will continue to carry out "freedom of navigation operations" near disputed islands in the South China Sea and will also take other actions. US Secretary of State Pompeo spared no effort to promote the Indo-Pacific strategy everywhere and stated that it would strengthen investment in maintaining order in the South China Sea region.
However, is it really good to follow the United States to muddy waters in the South China Sea? Just look at the outcome of Aquino III now!
Just as the United States was chattering, the People's Liberation Army Daily broke a seemingly ordinary news: On August 10, the Southern Theater Command Center commanded a transport plane at the Guiyang airport of the Air Force of the War Zone, which flew thousands of kilometers to Yongshu Reef in Nansha, and rushed a critically ill fisherman to Sanya, completing a rescue operation jointly operated by the war zone.
This operation demonstrated the joint combat command capabilities of the Southern Theater Command, and also proved that my country's construction in the South China Sea area is not for the so-called "militarization", but for the ability to assume the international obligation to serve the South China Sea and neighboring countries. This is undoubtedly a reassurance for countries in the South China Sea region.
Just on August 8, the Singapore Foreign Minister announced that China and ASEAN countries had reached an agreement on the single draft consultation text of the "Code of Conduct in the South China Sea", which is a "historic breakthrough" in the consultation process. He also stated that the Philippines is willing to play the role of China and ASEAN coordinating countries, promote the maintenance of good-neighborly and friendly relations between ASEAN countries and China, and build the South China Sea into a sea of peace and stability.
During this Foreign Ministers' Meeting, the Philippines was the first to stand up to express support for the South China Sea joint military exercise plan proposed by my country, and at the same time, he threatened the United States not to interfere, because the purpose of this exercise is to strengthen military cooperation with neighboring countries, and the United States is not suitable for appearing on this occasion. my country's Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that China and ASEAN countries have the ability to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea. As long as foreign interference is eliminated, the "Guidelines" consultations can accelerate the advancement.
At the same time, my country's most advanced marine rescue ships and professional search and rescue teams have been arranged to go to Nansha on duty and standby according to the draft, so as to provide international public welfare services including maritime rescue to countries in the South China Sea as soon as possible.
At this point, the United States can play fewer and fewer cards on the South China Sea issue. Just as the "code" formed a single draft consultation text, US Secretary of State Pompeo had no choice but to say that the sovereignty of the regional countries should not be threatened and the United States did not seek regional dominance. History has once again proved that the clocks that recorded the South China Sea era must have used Beijing time, and will never be American time.
