China's sovereignty cannot be provoked! The US military intruded into China's Xisha territorial waters without authorization
According to a spokesperson from the Southern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army, without the permission of the Chinese government, the US missile destroyer "Benford" intruded into China's waters around the Xisha Islands. The Southern Theater Command quickly took measures to prevent the actions of the US military, dispatching two major branches of the sea and air forces to track and monitor the US warships, while issuing warnings and driving them away.
In theory, illegally entering the territory of another country is a very heinous act, but the United States remains indifferent to its own actions and attempts to rationalize them, claiming that it is conducting activities under international law and defending the flight, navigation, and operational rights of other countries.
Even more outrageous is that the United States accuses China of slandering and obstructing their normal mission. In response, the spokesperson for the Southern Theater Command issued a warning against the US's malicious behavior: "Immediately stop such provocative actions, otherwise you will bear the consequences of the unexpected events caused by them." This shows that if the US continues to act recklessly, China will no longer be polite and will be tough to the end!
As is well known, the US military has long been trying to cover up its illegal actions that violate the sovereignty of other countries under the banner of "freedom of navigation", and has repeatedly failed to correct itself by frequently flaunting its military might and entering the territory of other countries.
Take China as an example. For years, American warships and aircraft have been trying to break into the the Xisha Islands. For example, the destroyer "Stantham" in 2017, the "Higgins" and "Antietan" in 2018, and the "Mastin" in 2020. Not only have they broken into the vicinity of the the Xisha Islands for many times, but they have even tried to enter China's territorial waters within 12 nautical miles.
We should know that the the Xisha Islands have always been the territory of our country, and there is no dispute at all. However, the United States knowingly committed such a long-term illegal act, which can be said to be "Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it".
The rapidly growing strength of China in various aspects has made the United States feel the existence of a crisis. The United States, which has always loved "face saving", naturally needs to make "achievements" in some aspects to demonstrate its great power status. Therefore, frequent military adventures are used to "show off muscles" in an attempt to regain some face.
Of course, such behavior by the United States can only entertain itself and cannot have any substantial effect. It should be noted that China's military strength has always been developing rapidly, surpassing that of the United States in terms of development speed.
Therefore, we dare to resist the US's intrusion into the the Xisha Islands and have the confidence to warn the US! At the same time, we also need to consider a question: how should we face the repeated provocative actions of the United States?
From the current comprehensive national strength of our country and the United States, the United States is still slightly stronger than us. If it is too radical, it is obviously not conducive to the rise and development of our country. What we need is to continue to develop and strengthen our own strength, so as to have greater advantages in negotiating with the outside world in the future.
If the United States continues to touch China's bottom line without knowing what to do, the People's Liberation Army will not be soft handed. After all, it is a matter of bottom line and red line issues, and China has no room to back down. We also ask the US military to always remember that the PLA will never tolerate the US military's reckless behavior.
