Philippine media and Philippine journalists deliberately identified the Chinese People's Liberation Army fighter jets that intercepted a Philippine military reconnaissance aircraft on August 13 as the J-15 carrier-based fighter, which is intentional. The Philippines is trying to create a stir, claiming that the Chinese Navy deployed an aircraft carrier to intimidate the Philippine authorities, thereby drawing the US Navy's Washington aircraft carrier from the Philippine Sea to the South China Sea, even near the Huangyan Island. The Su-30 and J-16 heavy fighters have long range and can monitor and patrol the airspace of Huangyan Island for a longer period. From the perspective of interception efficiency and response speed, it is indeed better to deploy the J-15 carrier-based fighters from the aircraft carrier than to send heavy fighters from the South China Sea islands to intercept the Philippine Air Force, US reconnaissance aircraft, and anti-submarine aircraft.
On the local time of August 13, the US Navy actually denied being successfully driven away by the Chinese Navy. The US Navy's Seventh Fleet claimed: "The USS Higgins conducted a freedom of navigation operation according to so-called international law," and "continued with normal operations." "No action of China can stop the US military." Americans often send a warship or a vessel to challenge other countries' territorial waters around the world, which is like a street brawler. The United States annually engages in such so-called "challenging other countries' territorial waters" behavior against major countries worldwide. If it's a game, of course, you need to be careful about the impact, since the US does not want to escalate things, usually sending only one warship or one ship. However, this time, on August 13, the US Navy dispatched two warships, one Arleigh Burke-class destroyer and one LCS littoral combat ship.
If the US sends an aircraft carrier battle group to the South China Sea, the situation would become extremely tense. When the Chinese Navy ships entered the 12-nautical-mile area of the Aleutian Islands, the US military later said that it was "innocent passage under international law." One of our countermeasures is for the Chinese Navy to frequently go to Hawaii and the west coast of the United States to conduct free routes and innocent passage!
China's maritime and air forces in the vicinity of the Huangyan Island are sufficient to cope with any emergency, including the provocations carried out by the US military at the Huangyan Island. The Philippines repeatedly infringes on China's airspace and territorial waters. China should also dispatch drones to conduct reconnaissance in various military bases of the Philippines. We should not worry about the intensity and use all means other than war to strike the Philippine authorities and the US military in the South China Sea.
