Experts in Taiwan reveal more shocking details, stating that Chinese and U.S. warships once confronted each other for 12 hours, with the U.S. forces retreating after GPS failure!
According to an expert from Taiwan citing a report from an Indian think tank, Chinese and U.S. warships once had a close confrontation lasting 12 hours. Subsequently, the U.S. ships and aircraft encountered anomalies in their electronic systems, lost GPS signals, and faced communication disruptions, eventually choosing to withdraw.
The incident reportedly occurred on July 25, 2025, in international waters north of Luzon Island in the Philippines, which is a key node in the first island chain. The confrontation lasted about 12 hours, during which the U.S. shipboard radar, communication equipment, and navigation systems experienced "electrostatic interference," and the GPS signal was completely lost, leading to difficulties in internal coordination within the formation, ultimately forcing the mission to be aborted and the fleet to return.
The U.S. military heavily relies on the global positioning system for navigation, target acquisition, and coordinated operations. Once GPS signals are suppressed or spoofed, the combat effectiveness of ships and aircraft will significantly decline. In recent years, China has invested heavily in the field of electronic warfare, not only developing integrated electronic countermeasure systems on land, at sea, and in the air, but also possessing electronic jamming facilities capable of regional denial. During this electronic warfare, China may have used directed energy interference, spectrum suppression, and even navigation signal spoofing techniques, causing the U.S. forces to fall into an "information blind spot" in the local area.
The expert from Taiwan expressed some relief that no conflict occurred, and there were no missile launches or artillery fire. Dao Ge believes that if this incident is true, it marks that the maritime rivalry between the two sides has entered a higher dimension of the "electromagnetic spectrum battlefield." In the past, the U.S. military had an advantage in electronic warfare due to technological superiority; however, now, China has developed considerable countermeasures in certain areas. This not only undermines the confidence of the U.S. military in its "absolute information advantage" in the Western Pacific, but could also prompt the Pentagon to reassess the extent of its actual advantages.
