U.S. lawmakers visiting China have suddenly made a strong statement to us! Just as the Fujian aircraft carrier successfully used electromagnetic catapult technology to launch three fighter jets, on September 23, the head of the U.S. Congressional delegation to China, Smith, warned us that we see our ships, aircraft and their ships, aircraft getting too close. We need to have better dialogue on how to avoid these conflicts.

Smith stated that there is a great risk of mutual misunderstanding regarding each other's capabilities, and both sides need to engage in dialogue so as not to inadvertently fall into any conflict. Obviously, although the U.S. delegation visiting China claimed to strengthen dialogue, the warning and dissatisfaction from the U.S. side is still noticeable. However, why is it that the U.S. claims that our ships and aircraft are too close to their ships and aircraft?

We would like to ask: Are the U.S. aircraft and warships too close to our aircraft and warships near the U.S. West Coast? The U.S. has brought its military forces right to our doorstep, yet they complain that we are too close to their aircraft and warships. Isn't this absurd? If we treated the U.S. the way the U.S. treats us, would the U.S. accept it? The U.S. side said that the risk of miscalculation is very high.

If the U.S. is concerned about miscalculation, then why doesn't the U.S. keep a distance from us? Obviously, during the 9.3 military parade, the Fujian aircraft carrier displayed the scene of electromagnetic catapulting fighters in a highly visible manner, which is a clear signal for the U.S. not to have any miscalculations about us. During the visit to China, senior members of the U.S. House Committee on Armed Services witnessed an important moment in the development of the Chinese Navy, and we believe this will leave a deep impression on the U.S. It is evident that we are using our own way to prevent the U.S. from having miscalculations.
