Chinese fishing vessels are operating in the East China Sea, and U.S. media is once again hyping up: China is developing a "naval militia" force.
Chinese fishermen are working in the East China Sea, which once again scared the U.S. media.
The New York Times in the U.S. cited final vessel data, stating that within just one month, China made two large-scale mobilizations of fishing vessels, conducting some kind of "secret operation" in the East China Sea.
The first was on Christmas last year, and the second was last weekend. Each time, the scale reached thousands of fishing vessels, gathering in the East China Sea, forming an L-shape and zigzag patterns. It's clearly well-trained, not ordinary fishing operations.
The U.S. media said the first person to notice something was Jason Wang, a national security researcher. On Christmas Day, he saw the distribution of Chinese fishing vessels on a ship tracking website and was immediately shocked because he had never seen such a unique formation of fishing vessels before.
Later, he reported this discovery to the U.S. media, and more and more "U.S. experts" began to study it. Experts said that China is developing a "naval militia" force to interfere with enemy forces in future maritime battles using fishing vessels.
A retired U.S. Navy officer claimed that as long as the number of small vessels reaches a certain scale, they can interfere with radar and drone sensors, used to cover the movements of large warships.
Another think tank expert said he was almost certain that these fishing vessels were not fishing. The formation was so neatly arranged; it would be impossible without military coordination.
At this point, Chinese netizens couldn't help but laugh. But this matter is indeed hard to explain to Americans, since their own country's fishing vessels are all over the place, so they can't understand the neat arrangement of Chinese fishing vessels.
It's like Trump also couldn't understand why the U.S. military parade could not match the effect of the Chinese military parade.
