There has never been a shortage of struggles and stories on the international stage, and such an incident happened on the military stage: in 1986, when the US Navy visited China for the first time, it should have been an opportunity for friendly exchanges, but the United States gave us a disadvantage on the spot. Why do you say that? What's the secret behind it?

Let's first take a look at the US Navy in the 80s of the last century, although it is said that US hegemony is disgusting, we have to admit that the US military strength should not be underestimated. In the United States in the eighties of the last century, the United States' naval strength can be said to have reached a period of rapid development, and the number of warships has been increasing. Do you know how many there are?
According to relevant records, the number of US warships by 1987 had reached 594. This is not enough, the United States will continue to upgrade the armament of warships. It is directly equipped with advanced missiles and weapons, such as the familiar "cruise missile". There is also the Aegis defense system. What is the Aegis Defense System?
The Aegis defense system can be said to be very powerful, the Aegis defense system is a comprehensive defense system assembled by many radars and advanced weapons, with strong target recognition and tracking capabilities, in layman's terms, you come to my territory with a missile, I directly use this Aegis defense system to intercept you. It can be said that it can deal with a variety of threats in a complex environment.
Then again, on the other hand, our Chinese Navy, according to relevant information, because our economic and scientific and technological strength was really average before the reform and opening up, it pulled down a lot, and it was not until after the reform and opening up that we began to catch up. This is an example of an image, the first aircraft carrier that we have researched in China, which can also be said to be the starting point of our Chinese aircraft carrier, was not purchased from Australia until 1985.
I remember that at that time, the United States ridiculed our backwardness in science and technology because of this. But how long can the United States laugh? After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it began to attach importance to the construction of the navy and other arms of the armed forces, just like the saying goes, "a true master always has an apprentice's heart", and the mainland began to actively hold war exchange meetings with other countries.
When it comes to the fleet exchange meetings carried out by the Chinese fleet in the early days, one person has to be mentioned, that is, Navy Commander Liu Huaqing, who led the mainland's navy to visit many countries for friendly exchanges. Speaking of maritime exchanges between countries, it is necessary to mention another custom. It's not a custom, it's just a kind of "maritime rule".
In accordance with international practice, visiting ships should be covered with the national flag of the country to be visited as a sign of respect and peace. At first, it was okay, when Liu Huaqing took the naval fleet to other countries for exchanges, everything was normal, until he met a country, everything began to become abnormal.
Presumably, there is no need to say that everyone knows which country it is, that is the United States, just when our country's naval commander Liu Huaqing was preparing to take the naval fleet to communicate with the United States, an infuriating thing happened, which also provoked Liu Huaqing to "close the door"!
When our country's naval fleet was communicating with the United States, there was not a single Chinese flag on the ships of the US Navy, and they tried to enter the mainland ports with a swagger. Liu Huaqing couldn't bear to see such a provocation from the United States, and immediately announced that all personnel had entered a state of alert, and issued a solemn warning to the US troops sailing into the waters of the mainland, asking them to tell what they were here for! Although the U.S. military began to mess with the explanation, Liu Huaqing knew in his heart that this time he was going to continue to provoke to test our tolerance and naval situation, and he must not retreat!
After a stalemate of more than an hour, the U.S. military finally relented and hoisted the Chinese flag on the three warships. Once. The U.S. military can provoke the Chinese Navy unscrupulously, but now we are a strong army! I advise countries with that kind of bad intentions to put themselves in a correct position, put themselves in a good attitude, and do not toast and do not eat and drink. What do you think about this incident?
