Reference News Network September 21 report, according to Sputnik News September 21 report, the British aircraft carrier "Prince of Wales" recently passed through the South China Sea and once again visited Singapore while active in the so-called "Indo-Pacific" region.
On September 21, the social media account of the British aircraft carrier strike group posted: "After passing through the South China Sea, we are happy to return to Singapore."
It is known that the British aircraft carrier strike group, led by the "Prince of Wales," set off from England in late April, launching the 2025 "Indo-Pacific" deployment operation codenamed "High Masts." It had previously visited Singapore in June. As the "High Masts" operation entered its second half, the strike group began sailing westward back to the UK. The main area of activity of the "Prince of Wales" has recently shifted from northern to southern Pacific waters, gradually moving from Northeast Asia to Southeast Asia.
On the other hand, on September 12, the British frigate "Richmond" sailed through the Taiwan Strait from north to south, accompanied by the US destroyer "Higgins," heading towards the Philippines. It made a port call in Manila and left the country on the 19th after ending the visit.
From September 12 to 13, the Southern Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army conducted routine patrols in the South China Sea. Colonel Tian Junli, spokesperson for the Southern Theater Command, stated that the Philippines frequently colludes with external countries to organize so-called "joint patrols," spreading illegal claims about the South China Sea, and undermining regional peace and stability.
