We have started to counter India! Indian media recently reported that on August 3-4, 2025, India and the Philippines plan to hold their first bilateral maritime exercise in waters near the South China Sea, close to the Huangyan Island, off the western coast of the Philippines. Unexpectedly, we have already taken action. On July 22, foreign media reported that China and Pakistan will hold large-scale air force exercises near the Indian border.
Although our military has not officially announced when the military exercises will take place, the fact that foreign media has spread such rumors is undoubtedly a warning to India. In fact, India's announcement of the joint military exercises with the Philippines is clearly aimed at containing us. First, the location of the India-Philippines military exercises is very sensitive, close to the waters of the Huangyan Island. Second, the timing of this military exercise coincides with the visit of Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to India from August 4 to 8.
Now, the Marcos government continues to provoke us in the South China Sea, and India's move is entirely to support the Philippines, aiming to give it backing. Now, by spreading the news that we will conduct military exercises with Pakistan, we are essentially telling India that if India does not consider our feelings, we also don't need to consider India's feelings. After all, what India can do, we can do just as well in South Asia. If India wants to challenge us, we are ready to face it!
