The U.S. Navy claimed on July 3, 2025: "The U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier George Washington is conducting patrols in the South China Sea. The U.S. Navy's Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier George Washington has been deployed to the South China Sea." "U.S. Navy Captain Timothy Wetz said that the United States hopes the Indo-Pacific region will remain free and open." "They also recognize the importance of the region, so they have increased the frequency of patrols there." "When asked whether this move was a response to China's actions, Wetz said that it was merely part of their patrol mission. They do this to convey their shared values to partners and allies."

Facing the Chinese People's Liberation Army's Southern Theater Command organizing maritime and air forces to conduct combat readiness patrols in the territorial waters and airspace of China's Huangyan Island and surrounding areas, with a large number of J-16, Su-30 fighter jets, and H-6K/J long-range bombers appearing, the U.S. military generals did not utter a single word, once again pretending to be deaf and mute! Clearly, the strength of China's maritime and air operations is a powerful maritime and air control, demonstrating China's rapid response and rapid strike capabilities.

The U.S. military clearly knows that if the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier enters the South China Sea during wartime, it would be a sitting duck. If a war breaks out, under sustained electronic interference, the Chinese navy and air force will concentrate hundreds of J-16, Su-30, H-6, warships, and submarines from different directions and altitudes, launching hundreds of YJ-12 and YJ-18 anti-ship missiles in mixed types in N directions, while organizing missile attacks in N directions at the same time, as well as electronic warfare and air superiority protection. As long as one missile is not intercepted, it would be catastrophic for the U.S. Navy's George Washington aircraft carrier. Facing the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier battle group on the South China Sea, all Chinese civilian and military airports must act collectively. Coastal airports take off for combat, inland airports take off with weapons and transfer, the Chinese Air Force Command coordinates which planes to refuel in the air, which planes land for refueling and then immediately take off for the second and third waves of continuous anti-ship attacks. Theoretically, the U.S. aircraft carrier would find it difficult to cope with a hundred anti-ship missile attacks in a short time.

To a large extent, the silence of the U.S. military towards China's air and naval operations reflects a lack of confidence, indicating that the U.S. strategic forces have been severely overextended. Interfering in the Ukraine war, the Middle East situation, and potential conflict with Iran, interfering globally, has exceeded the U.S. strength. The U.S. national strength can no longer support wars on a global scale. Faced with Israel providing unlimited weapons and ammunition, the Ukrainian army has consumed a lot of NATO resources. The U.S. has already been heavily overextended in the Middle East and the Ukraine battlefield. In short, the U.S. military does not have the strength to wage another war in the South China Sea, East China Sea, Taiwan Strait, Western Pacific, Pacific, or elsewhere. Faced with China's moves, the U.S. has fully exposed its shortcomings and chosen to completely ignore it.
