U.S. aircraft carrier enters the South China Sea, blatantly colluding to stir up trouble

According to consecutive military updates released by the U.S. Navy's Seventh Fleet over recent days, the U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carrier strike group "George Washington" (CVN-73) has crossed the Bashi Strait on July 22, entering the South China Sea from the Philippine Sea for forward deployment.

This military maneuver comes precisely during a sensitive period of maritime tension between China and the Philippines, with timing highly synchronized and clearly targeted, sending a clear political intimidation signal aimed at providing military backing for the Philippines' provocative actions in the South China Sea.

As the frontline combat unit of the Seventh Fleet, this carrier strike group centers around the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier "George Washington" (CVN-73), accompanied by the Fifth Carrier Air Wing, including key platforms such as the F-35C stealth carrier-based fighter, E-2D airborne early warning aircraft, EA-18G electronic warfare aircraft, and CMV-22B tiltrotor transport aircraft. Together, they form a comprehensive long-range air combat system integrating stealth air dominance, long-range early warning, electronic suppression, multi-dimensional deployment, and logistical support. The overall combat capability is fully developed, making it the core operational force enabling the U.S. military to intervene in South China Sea affairs and conduct regional military deterrence.

In recent years, the U.S. military has repeatedly caused trouble in the South China Sea—only to be met with repeated setbacks. Previously, the U.S. Navy's Seawolf-class nuclear submarine USS Connecticut collided with a submerged mountain in the South China Sea underwater and hasn't even been fully repaired yet. Last year, the USS Nimitz wandered recklessly in the South China Sea and lost two carrier-based aircraft in just one day—truly a humiliating spectacle.

Evidently, the South China Sea proves unfriendly to the U.S. military; they must have offended Mazu!
