Philippines is audacious enough to attempt to block our Huangyan Island. Our military quickly took action, and the H-6K wasted no time, taking off immediately to show its strength.

According to Global Times on January 31, our Southern Theater Command has continuously organized maritime and air forces to conduct readiness patrols in the territorial waters and airspace of our Huangyan Island, as well as surrounding sea and air areas. Among them, our military deployed the H-6K and other fighter jets, forming a formation to fly to the surrounding areas of Huangyan Island for patrol.

According to the released on-site information, the flight path of the H-6K was along the southeast direction with Huangyan Island as the center for long-range flights.

Notably, this flight area involves an incident. That is, the Philippines, an audacious country, recently arrogantly unilaterally announced a so-called "no-fly zone" over our Huangyan Island, declaring that it would hold military exercises there. However, our H-6K directly entered this "no-fly zone," demonstrating a clear stance of showing strength without hesitation, which also tells the Philippines in practical actions that we do not take their notices seriously at all.

Previously, when the Philippines harassed Huangyan Island, it often only dared to use things like government aircraft or fishing boats. In general, our side was quite restrained, driving them away and ending the matter, giving them a way out.

But this time, the Philippines directly used the name of military exercises to carry out regional blockades and set time limits, until the end of March, lasting more than two months. From midnight to 9 am every day, these were the "no-fly periods" declared by the Philippines unilaterally.

The Philippines' military tactics suddenly escalated, and the scale was so large and brazenly provocative. Who gave them such boldness?

Yes, it's the United States.

This military exercise claimed by the Philippines is conducted together with the United States. According to news from Manila on the 27th, the United States and the Philippines have carried out their first joint cruise cooperation this year. The Philippine Air Force dispatched the护卫舰 (protection ship) Luna, FA-50 and A-29B fighters, as well as the AW-109 anti-submarine helicopter, and also sent the nearshore patrol ship Sillan.

The U.S. side dispatched the destroyer Finn and the P-8A "Poseidon" patrol reconnaissance aircraft.

According to Philippine sources, the exercise involved subjects such as maritime supply, surface joint combat drills, and night formation navigation, representing a comprehensive operational system drill. Among them, the "no-fly period" declared by the Philippines should refer to the night formation navigation period.

Moreover, the duration of the military exercise lasting two months far exceeds the capability of the Philippines, clearly indicating that the initiative lies in the hands of the United States.

But will we allow such incidents to happen? The spokesperson of our Ministry of Defense first clearly pointed out the nature of this event: "Exercises under the guise of infringement and provocation." Then the People's Liberation Army directly acted, organizing maritime and air forces to conduct readiness patrols around Huangyan Island.

The flight path of the H-6K has already covered the no-fly zone declared by the Philippines, and this flight path itself is within our sea area. We have proven through practical actions that sovereignty belongs to us.

With the support of the United States behind, the Philippines dares to provoke us aggressively. Does it really think we can be intimidated?

In fact, upon closer examination of the measures taken by the Philippines this time, one can see that they have played many cunning but revealingly timid tricks.

First, they play word games on the navigation period and the no-fly airspace. According to reports, the height of this blockade was set at 18,000 feet, covering most of the usual flight range of civil aviation.

Additionally, the no-fly period is at night, when there are still many international civilian flights passing through. If affected, these planes choose to detour, the Philippines could indirectly achieve an "established fact" to demonstrate to the international community its "sovereignty" over the area. It seems the Philippines tried to avoid direct military conflict, but its machinations were very sinister.

Moreover, the United States is also playing word games. The U.S. Seventh Fleet issued a statement saying: "This maritime cooperation activity was conducted within the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines and in accordance with international law, respecting the security of all countries." This seemingly normal expression actually contains hidden agendas, revealing its secret conspiracy against China. Because the United States is well aware that China's determination to safeguard its territory is not just talk, and it will inevitably act, so the U.S. can use this to shift blame and frame us to protect its fragile face.

However, neither the Philippines nor the United States can achieve anything, and any plans or conspiracies they have will ultimately fail. The H-6K directly taking action is a real slap in the face. Our own territory is always decided by ourselves.
