China, the United States, and the Philippines are in a full-scale confrontation near the Huangyan Island in the South China Sea, with tensions escalating due to a U.S. warship entering the area.

Full-scale confrontation between the Chinese and U.S. navies in the South China Sea! On August 13, 2025, local time, a Philippine journalist publicly released footage of a full-scale confrontation among China, the United States, and the Philippines near the Huangyan Island in the South China Sea on the 13th. The Philippine journalist was on a Philippine Air Force Cessna propeller reconnaissance aircraft. After the Sino-Philippine conflict over the Huangyan Island, the U.S. Navy suddenly sent two warships to rush to the waters near the Huangyan Island, and the U.S. Navy also dispatched the USS Higgins to enter the territorial waters of the Huangyan Island,

According to the aerial footage released by the Philippine journalist, the U.S. Navy's "Higgins" destroyer entered the territorial waters of the Huangyan Island, and the Chinese navy conducted monitoring and evading. Meanwhile, the Philippines deployed reconnaissance aircraft flying over the Huangyan Island, but the Philippine Air Force couldn't be happy for long, as the Chinese Air Force dispatched a Su-30 fighter jet to intercept the Philippine Air Force reconnaissance aircraft! From the footage released by the Philippine journalist, it can be seen that the U.S. Navy also dispatched an LCS littoral combat ship, the "Cincinnati", and it is said that there is even a nuclear submarine of the U.S. Navy underwater in the South China Sea. According to the Philippine side, "this U.S. Navy nuclear submarine had its position exposed," at the scene of the confrontation between the Chinese and U.S. navies, there were at least 2 Chinese naval warships, 4 coast guard ships, and a large number of fishing boats facing the U.S. Navy warships.

Now, the situation at the Huangyan Island is too tense, we must set a red line: if entering the territorial waters and airspace of the Huangyan Island, after firing warning shots, if they do not withdraw immediately, they will be destroyed! Like in 2024, firing two consecutive times to warn the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force "Shigure" destroyer that entered the territorial waters, otherwise such incidents will only increase. The U.S. Navy has mobilized such a large scale, this time is deliberately done by the U.S. military, it is to stir up trouble between China and ASEAN to gain leverage for subsequent negotiations. We have always advocated fighting hard, defeating the enemy in one battle, the Korean War, the India self-defense counterattack, the Vietnam self-defense counterattack, the Zhenbao Island conflict, all have been like this. Now, the conflict has not escalated to the level of a large-scale battle. The U.S. Navy's warships are indeed annoying, but the Chinese information is clear, but the underlying message is that the Americans have no real strength to deploy a fleet capable of annihilating a country, nor do they have the strength to send a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleet ready for war. At this time, coming to the South China Sea is to support the Philippine authorities and stir up the situation in the South China Sea.
