In recent years, the US Navy has sent warship to sail freely at the door of China. Just last month, the US Navy missile destroyer is now hiking through China's Yongshu Reef, and suddenly turned to sail in the South China Sea. Our army immediately responded to this and sent warships and reconnaissance aircraft to monitor it throughout the journey and forced a warning to drive it away. After being driven away, the US Navy issued a very tough statement, threatening to continue "free navigation" afterwards, no matter what happened in the local area.
However, free navigation is not a privilege. At the end of September this year, the Chinese Navy destroyed the Nanchang ship and the Russian warships together to form a joint fleet at Bering Sea , near the US mainland Alaska . It is reported that the formation composed of the Nanchang ship and the Russian warship is only 75 nautical miles away from the US mainland. The United States seems very nervous about the normal navigation of Chinese and Russian warships. The US Coast Guard sent the patrol ship to track and monitor.
However, the Chinese Navy's operations have just begun. On December 16, the Japanese Ministry of Defense revealed that the Liaoning ship battle group passed through the Miyako Strait and entered the Western Pacific for activities. This time, the Liaoning ship formation included two 0.55 10,000-ton large destroyers, Anshan and Wuxi , a 052D Chengdu, a 054A Zaozhuang, and a 901 supply ship Hulun Lake.
This is the second time this year that the Liaoning ship has taken a 10,000 tons to the Western Pacific. In May this year, the Liaoning ship and the Nanchang ship formed a formation to conduct drills in the Western Pacific. At that time, our army dispatched two 52D destroyers and one 901 comprehensive supply ship for annual routine training in the Western Pacific.
In peacetime, the aircraft carrier fleet sailed far away, and was "brightening muscles" to certain countries. Only when China became hard can it become stronger. At the same time, a few days ago, another Chinese formation composed of the Type 055 Lhasa ship, the 052D Kaifeng ship and the 903A "Taihu ship" drove eastward into the Western Pacific through the Osumi Strait. At that time, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force dispatched the "Amakara" patrol ship, and the P-1 anti-submarine aircraft followed the Chinese naval fleet.
This is also the Lhasa ship appeared in the Western Pacific region again after its first training in June. Now two Chinese warships gather in the Western Pacific . It is not ruled out that the two formations will converge in a certain waters in the Western Pacific, thus forming a naval formation centered on the "Liaoning Ship", 3 055 large destroyers and 2 052D as important forces.
Some countries don’t need to make a fuss about this. In the future, the Chinese Navy will go to the Western Pacific, Pacific , Indian Ocean and other waters will become daily. Isn’t this what the United States calls “free navigation”? We can even walk around Hawaii and Alaska. Since the US Navy can come to China's doorstep, the Chinese Navy can do it too. This is called coming but not going.
In addition, the appearance of Chinese naval formations around Japan is also a great deterrent for Japan. Just as the Liaoning fleet was sailing, according to relevant data signals, Japan's DDH183 Izumo aircraft carrier was also active during this period. The frequent entry and exit of Yokosuka Port in Japan is likely to be tracking and monitoring the operations of the Liaoning aircraft carrier formation.
During this period, Japan's ambitions were also fully exposed. On December 16, the Japanese government officially issued a series of policies and documents such as the National Security Strategy, Defense Plan Outline , among which China clearly positioned as the primary strategic challenge , and to develop offensive combat capabilities, we must make military expenditure exceed 2% of GDP, and the military expenditure increase will exceed 50% in the next five years. As a defeated country in World War II , Japan has now posed a huge challenge to the post-war system.
Japan attacked mainland China in three files to "change the status quo" and "unilaterally change the status quo". In fact, the United States and Japan are the biggest changers of the status quo. They are hegemonic and are called the real unilateral change of the status quo. The blacksmith still need to be strong themselves. Now the PLA's military strength is advancing by leaps and bounds. If the United States and Japan continue to provoke China, then we must also respond with practical actions. The PLA is not afraid of head-on confrontation.
