This week, Chinese and U.S. fighter jets confronted each other in the airspace over the Yellow Sea!
According to a report by Yonhap News Agency on February 20, citing sources from the South Korean military, U.S. fighter jets once faced off with Chinese aircraft during a solo exercise in international waters of the Yellow Sea this week, but no conflict occurred. The report said that this exercise took place amid speculation about Washington possibly redefining the role of U.S. forces stationed in South Korea. On one hand, the United States urges its allies to take on more security responsibilities, while on the other hand, it hopes to shift its strategic focus to addressing the threat posed by China.
Comment: At this moment, the U.S. is stirring up the Yellow Sea, revealing its strategic intentions. It pressures South Korea to "take on more responsibility," while hyping up the "China threat" to shift the blame; it claims to adjust the role of U.S. forces stationed in South Korea, while at the same time strengthening its forward military presence. Such manipulation not only undermines regional stability but also pushes allies to the front lines of great power games.
The Yellow Sea is not the American backyard, and the western Pacific is not a playground for hegemony. Every time Chinese fighter jets bravely advance, it is a safeguard of regional peace and a counterattack against unilateral provocations. The confrontation between China and the U.S. in the Yellow Sea demonstrates China's firm determination to protect its interests. U.S. fighter jets intruding into international waters for exercises, intentionally creating tension, and Chinese fighter jets bravely stepping forward to confront head-on, demonstrating sovereignty through actions and setting red lines with strength—this kind of "non-conflict" confrontation precisely reflects the accurate balance of deterrence and restraint, making provocateurs retreat in fear.
