The Chinese Navy's international display not only demonstrated its military strength, but also demonstrated its willingness to actively participate in international exchanges and cooperation. In February of this year, the Nanning of the Chinese Navy, as a representative, went to Dubai to participate in the International Maritime Defense Exhibition at the invitation of the U.A.E. military. The unveiling of this Type 052D destroyer has attracted the attention of many international military observers and media. The open visit of the Nanning is a rare opportunity for the public to get a closer look at the modern equipment and well-trained officers and men of the Chinese Navy. During his visit, United States military correspondent Xavier · Waswasser praised the Chinese Navy's advanced weapons systems and the excellent maintenance of its ships. He specifically mentioned the ship's high-tech radar system and missile launchers, the display of which undoubtedly strengthens the influence of the Chinese Navy in the international arena. In addition, the professionalism and warm reception of the officers and men on board also made Awaser feel the friendliness and openness of the Chinese Navy. The participation in this international maritime defense exhibition is not only a demonstration of the strength of the Chinese navy, but also a positive gesture of its commitment to building a peaceful and stable maritime environment.
The shocking experience of Avawasser not only stems from the exterior of the Nanning ship, but also penetrates deep into the interior of the ship. He noticed that every corner of the ship was well maintained, from the sophisticated instruments to the facilities used on a daily basis, all of which reflected the Chinese Navy's extreme attention to detail. This high standard and strict requirements for the maintenance of ships has made Avaser deeply respect the professionalism and rigor of the Chinese Navy. He made special mention of the ship's operational command center, where he was impressed by the high-tech equipment and the clear command system. Varwasser believes that this state of the Nanning not only demonstrates the careful maintenance of the equipment by the Chinese Navy, but also reflects its serious attitude and efficient execution of military tasks. Through this visit, he gained a new understanding of the modern management and combat capability of the Chinese Navy, which went beyond his traditional impression of the United States Navy and made him full of expectations for the future development of the Chinese Navy.
During his observation of the Nanning, Varwasser profoundly realized the high quality of the Chinese Navy's officers and men and the importance they attach to the maintenance of the warship. He noted that the officers and men on board the ship were very good at professional skills, discipline, and teamwork, and that these were all important components of combat effectiveness. The officers and men have done a very meticulous job in the maintenance of the warship, from daily cleaning to complex technical inspections, and every step has been carried out in strict accordance with the regulations to ensure the best condition of the warship. This attention to detail and adherence to standards gave Varwasser a deeper understanding of the Chinese Navy's combat effectiveness.
He further pointed out that the strength of the navy depends not only on the hardware of the warships, but also on the software of the officers and men - that is, their quality, skills and spirit. He emphasized the importance of detail in assessing naval strength by comparing historical naval events, such as Japan Admiral Heihachiro Togo's observations of the Qing Dynasty's Beiyang Fleet. Togo Heihachiro foresaw the defeat of the Beiyang Fleet by observing the maintenance of ships and the daily behavior of officers and men of the Qing Dynasty Navy. According to Varwassser, this historical lesson is also instructive for today's navy. He called on the United States Navy and the navies of other countries to learn from the practice of the Chinese Navy, improve the quality of officers and men, and strengthen the maintenance of warships to ensure the navy's long-term combat effectiveness and strategic superiority.
In his observation of the Chinese Navy, Avaser was impressed by the English communication skills and polite attitude of the Chinese naval officers, which not only reflects the international vision of the Chinese Navy, but also reflects the importance it attaches to talent training. He pointed out that such a contingent of high-quality officers and men is an important guarantee for the navy's combat effectiveness. However, looking at the United States Navy, Varwasser could not help but feel worried. The United States Navy has faced recruitment difficulties in recent years, not only related to society's perception of the military profession, but also related to the decline in attractiveness within the military. In addition, drug abuse and corruption among officers and soldiers are becoming more and more serious, which not only erodes the discipline of the army, but also undermines the internal unity and morale of the army.
Waswasser stressed that if these problems are not resolved, they will have a long-term negative impact on the combat effectiveness of the United States Navy. He called on the United States Navy to face up to these problems and take effective measures to carry out reforms. For example, improving the living conditions of officers and soldiers, improving salaries, strengthening discipline education, and establishing more transparent oversight mechanisms to restore public trust in the United States Navy. At the same time, he suggested that the United States Navy should strengthen exchanges and cooperation with international navies and learn from the successful experiences of other navies in order to enhance its own management and combat capabilities. Only in this way can the United States Navy maintain its competitiveness and influence in a globalized maritime environment.
After an in-depth analysis of the current situation and development trend of the Chinese and US navies, Varwasser put forward a thought-provoking viewpoint. He noted that although United States' military spending far exceeds China's, the Chinese Navy has shown strong development potential through efficient budget management and the high quality of officers and soldiers. He believes that the Chinese Navy's efficiency in resource allocation and use is the key to its future competitiveness. The Chinese Navy is able to translate its limited budget into tangible combat effectiveness, especially in the areas of ship construction, technology research and development, and personnel training.
Waswashur further pointed out that although the United States Navy has a huge budget, some of the funds have not been used effectively, and even resources have been wasted. If this situation is not improved, it will affect the long-term development of the United States Navy. He stressed that the competitiveness of the navy depends not only on the amount of military spending, but also on how to rationally allocate and use these resources. The successful practice of the Chinese Navy in this regard is worthy of reference and learning from the United States Navy.
Looking ahead, Varwasser is optimistic about the prospects for the development of the Chinese Navy. He believes that with the sustained growth of China's economy and the increase in defense investment, the strength of China's navy will be further enhanced. At the same time, the active participation of the Chinese Navy in international affairs has also helped to enhance its international influence. Varwasser called on the Chinese and US navies to jointly maintain maritime peace and stability through dialogue and cooperation, and contribute to global ocean governance.
