Lianhe Zaobao stated that China has taken a significant escalation in response to the actions of a Dutch warship! On June 7, Lianhe Zaobao cited military experts' views, publishing an article indicating that during the Dutch navy warship's passage in the South China Sea last month, China for the first time deployed electronic jamming equipment to force the Dutch warship out, marking a major upgrade compared to previous responses. Military experts believe that through active electronic jamming, the opponent’s communication links, data links, and radar systems will be rendered blind and deaf.
Thus, the warship’s course and movements will be significantly affected, and its commanding officers as well as crew members will be plunged into extreme fear. China is not only using electronic jamming against Dutch helicopters entering the Paracel Islands but is conducting electromagnetic interference against the entire warship. How do we view such reports by foreign media? In one sentence: the Dutch warship is entirely to blame for its own predicament.
In fact, the Dutch warship’s conduct—particularly its actions near the Paracel Islands—has already constituted an invasion of our territory and sovereignty. We therefore have every right to respond firmly. Since this is the first time we have taken such measures, it indicates that the Dutch behavior was extremely egregious, forcing us to act decisively to set boundaries for them. For such provocation-driven actions, we certainly need not hold back.
From a strength perspective, the Netherlands has absolutely no capability to provoke us. Geographically, there is no justification whatsoever for the Netherlands to operate in our surrounding waters. After experiencing our firm countermeasures, the Dutch will surely understand that these waters are not places for them to recklessly act. If any other country dares to imitate the Dutch, its fate can be compared to that of the Dutch warship.
