At the beginning of 2022, the US provocation against China has not stopped. Even though only 6 of the US mother and the two attacks can perform combat readiness duty, but 5 of the 6 ships are actually in the Asia-Pacific region, it can be said that this treatment is really the Tiandi-1 class. What the U.S. Navy, which is overwhelmed by a large army, is most eager for China and the United States to go to war, because only in war can the United States have the possibility of preserving the crown of superpower. Today, the destroyer Benford forced its way into China's Paracel territorial waters! After the southern theater of China conducted routine follow-up surveillance and warnings to drive away, the speech of the southern theater emphasized that the US side should immediately stop such provocative acts, otherwise it will bear the serious consequences of the unexpected incidents caused by them.
The tactics of the U.S. Navy, the large army suppressed the forward provocation, not recognizing the three-nautical-mile territorial waters
The vast majority of countries in the world have signed the International Convention on the Law of the Sea, recognizing the twelve-nautical-mile territorial sea. But the United States did not sign it, and the United States firmly advocated three nautical miles of territorial waters. This behavior of the United States also gives the U.S. Navy the de jure right to break into the 12-nautical-mile territorial waters of other countries. The United States knows that the territorial sea demanded by China and Russia is 12 nautical miles, and once the US surface ships enter the twelve-nautical-mile territorial waters of China and Russia, the reaction between China and Russia will inevitably be very violent. But isn't that what strategic provocations are?
The same other countries can reasonably and legally enter locations outside the 3 nautical miles within 12 nautical miles of the baseline of the U.S. Navy's territorial waters. For example, on September 2, 2015, five Chinese naval ships appeared three nautical miles off the Alaskan coastline, and even at that time, Obama was still playing with Baye. The problem is that we like to make a fortune in a muffled voice, like to just do it, the United States will never promote other countries' ships into the United States within 12 nautical miles, after all, the territorial waters of the United States claim to be 3 nautical miles! It can only be said that this kind of behavior in the United States really wants my bottom line to be low enough, and you can't affect me.
Chinese surface ships entered the 12-nautical-mile range of the United States in 2018
The goal of the United States provoking China is a war, so China's physical response is exactly what the United States has in mind
The development speed of China's navy is really too fast, the gap between China and the United States is narrowing rapidly, China's GDP in 2021 has reached 18 trillion US dollars, is already the same size of the United States (squeeze out the water, in fact, China is higher than the United States, after all, the tertiary industry is too virtual)
The Chinese navy has at least one ballistic missile nuclear submarine, one amphibious assault ship, three of the world's strongest Type 055 destroyers, five Type 052D guided-missile destroyers in service in 2021 alone, and one amphibious assault ship suspected of having been commissioned in January. The U.S. Navy's new ships are only 1 Burke IIA and 4 Littoral Combat Ships. The development rate of the US Navy has lagged behind the development rate of the Chinese Navy.
If the United States continues to give priority to Russia, then in five years the U.S. military will be against a powerful navy with at least three aircraft carriers, sixteen large destroyers, and forty or fifty large shield destroyers, and the number of surface ships in the United States in five years is probably not as good as that of the U.S. Navy in 2022, so the United States can't stand it, so the United States hopes to launch a war to stimulate the U.S. economy through war. So the United States let the 3 aircraft carriers and 2 attacks gather in the Asia-Pacific region, and let the Destroyer Benford sail into China's territorial waters when the US aircraft carriers were about to meet.
If China chooses to sink the Benford destroyer at the time of provocation, then the Benford will definitely be gone, but China will need to deal with the huge fleet composed of 3 aircraft carriers and 2 attacks, and this level of war will be a large-scale war, and even become the fuse of a world war. Since this war took place near the Chinese mainland, once such a war breaks out, the momentum of China's economic development will inevitably be interrupted. The United States will then repeat the successes of the First and Second World Wars.
What is the United States afraid of? China held back. Without China taking the initiative to fire the first shot, the United States cannot take the initiative to go to war, because that means that the initiative of public opinion will be handed over to others (the impact of self-defense counterattack and taking the lead in firing on public opinion is completely different). If war does not break out, then the way China and the United States will confront each other in the Asia-Pacific region is to conduct separate military exercises between China and the United States, and the Chinese side will hold a series of stealth fighter attack and defense exercises and surface warship South Naval exercises.
However, the United States is provocative near China's mainland, and China's various units are fully capable of rotating to participate in the exercise, which is extremely close to actual combat, which is beneficial and harmless to China's five armed forces. But the United States is different, the United States can now deploy only four aircraft carriers! 3 ships in Asia Pacific! There are only 2 amphibious assault ships that can be deployed, all in the Asia-Pacific region, and the scene of the United States maintaining 3 aircraft carriers and 2 two attacks in the Asia-Pacific region is simply impossible to maintain for a long time. Therefore, if the LINEUP of the United States is maintained for two weeks at most, these ships must be dispersed, and if this confrontation is maintained for a long time, it will have immeasurable consequences for the global hegemony of the United States.
The Chinese Navy did not have chicken blood on its head, and did not launch a war that the United States was ready for and China was not ready for, as the U.S. Navy and a series of keyboard militarists had expected. China's response to provocations by U.S. destroyers was to follow up on surveillance and warn them to drive away.
While making routine accusations, the Chinese side stressed that we solemnly demand that the US side immediately stop such provocative acts, otherwise it will bear the serious consequences of the unexpected incidents caused by them. China knows what the United States is thinking, and it is ready for a war with the United States, but it is still exercising restraint.
China's reaction is actually not difficult to understand, the reason is very simple, that is, time is on China's side, the longer the time China builds more warships, the more warships the United States will retire, the smaller the gap between China and the United States, and the less the cost of war. In fact, it is difficult to say that the victory was achieved at great cost, for example, was Britain and France really the victors of the Second World War? If these two countries have triumphed, then why has Britain become a second-rate country? After Britain paid a huge price, the fruits of victory were taken away by the American fisherman.
