Just a few days after the peace, the US military began to stir up trouble in the South China Sea! This time it sent a ship straight into Ren 'ai Reef. According to the wechat public account of the Southern Theater Command, on December 4, the US littoral combat ship Giffords illegally entered the waters near the Ren 'ai Reef of China's Nansha Islands without the approval of the Chinese government! The alarm has been sounded, the PLA is not a vegetarian! The southern battle area immediately organized maritime forces to monitor and guard the whole process.
Facts have proved that in the South China Sea, whenever there is a sign of easing the situation, the United States must muddy the waters! China and the Philippines just exchanged views at the APEC Summit, and both sides expressed their desire for stability in the South China Sea. Let us not say whether the Philippines is sincere or whether it is a delaying tactic, at least they understand one truth, in the South China Sea side and China are doomed to no good end!
Now well, the Americans are personally out of the gate, the small ship that guards the courtyard, the littoral combat ship have taken to the South China Sea, and trespass on the Ren 'ai Reef! It's almost as if the world is in chaos! The attitude of the Southern Theater Command is very clear, directly pointing out that the United States has three "serious" and one "sufficient"! It seriously infringes on China's sovereignty and security, seriously undermines regional peace and stability, and seriously violates international law and basic norms governing international relations. It fully demonstrates that the US is the biggest threat to peace and stability in the South China Sea.
The PLA's handling of the US warship's intrusion into the Ren 'ai Reef was obviously professional and restrained, and there was no fierce conflict between the two sides. The PLA warships followed, monitored and guarded the entire process, and did not allow the US military's provocation to be turned into a practical excuse, but this was only the beginning! Analysts believe that the US military's choice to "do something" on the Ren 'ai Reef is to put pressure on the Philippines! Force its domestic hawkish forces to continue to "step up efforts" in the South China Sea! Second, prevent China and the Philippines from reaching a "tacit understanding" on the Ren 'ai Reef, and fully muddy the waters, so that the United States can reap the benefits of the fisherman!
To put it bluntly! The United States is still playing the traditional game of adding fuel to the fire! Can't you have something fresh? Maybe not! This incident of breaking into Ren 'ai Reef, you look at it what kind of boat the American army uses? Littoral combat ship, listen to the name you know, this kind of warship, is specially prepared for coastal combat ships, in the US military's sequence, has long been confirmed as a failed equipment, basically equivalent to a pile of "junk", at this time to the South China Sea to "make a big", have to make people suspect that the US military is not what is hidden! You can't even afford a decent destroyer?
Sure enough, on the other side of the world, the U.S. military is in real trouble! According to the Global network, the US Department of Defense said that a US warship and three commercial vessels were attacked by drones and missiles, and then a spokesman for the Houthi armed forces generously claimed the attack. On the day of the incident, the Houthis launched a large number of drones and missiles, targeting Israeli merchant ships in the Red Sea! As an escort ship, the USS Carney destroyer was forced to open fire in self-defense, shooting down some drones and incoming missiles!
In the end, the two fists are difficult to defeat the four hands, the US military interception operation declared failure, two Israeli merchant ships were severely damaged! "One ship was badly damaged and in danger of sinking, and the other was slightly damaged." American destroyers, relying on strong interception firepower, were able to retreat completely! This is not the first time the US military has been attacked in the Red Sea, nor will it be the last! Trouble, in fact, is still behind!
