【US media reports, Chinese navy ships arrive at Hawaii, freedom of navigation is about mutual visits】
On July 11 local time, US media "Daily Call News" cited the Indo-Pacific Command, stating that a Chinese Navy ship recently patrolled near the waters of Hawaii.
There are currently no other authoritative US media reports on this news, and it needs to be continuously monitored. However, considering the strength of the Chinese Navy and the strategic demands of the People's Liberation Army in the future, our ships going to Hawaii is not something worth being surprised about.
We have the capability to carry out such level of long-distance voyages. Ten years ago, we went there for the Rim of the Pacific Exercise, and ten years later, it's a matter of course.
Moreover, as the most critical military base of the US military in the Pacific, any activity there will naturally attract the attention of the PLA.
Furthermore, Americans constantly use the pretext of freedom of navigation to stir up trouble in the South China Sea. Therefore, out of the need for reciprocity, we can also go to the nearby areas of the United States to "exercise freedom of navigation." Hawaii is just the beginning; going to the US west coast is also feasible.
