It is really surprising that the four-nation military exercise in the South China Sea, which was hyped up by the United States before, ended in a hurry
Material. The exercises lasted only one day, and then quietly ended. Was this an unexpected result?
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) responded immediately on the day of the exercise, and naval and air forces have entered the southern waters to conduct combat patrols. Did this display of strength in the state of combat patrol have an impact on the development of the exercise?
During the exercise, the mainland's high-tech 6 aircraft conducted anti-submarine offensive and defensive drills, demonstrating their powerful combat capabilities. Does this create a deterrent to other participating countries?
Battleships of the People's Liberation Army also appeared at the exercise site, including the 052D Nanning missile destroyer, which is powerful. Did this have an impact on the results of the exercises?
Did the appearance of the Neptune electronic reconnaissance ship make other participating countries nervous?
On the whole, it seems that the four-nation joint exercise in the South China Sea has lost its original strategic significance and has become an insignificant activity. In this case, is it necessary to end the exercises as soon as possible?
