As of 12:00 a.m. on January 31, the large fishing support vessel "Mamalakaya" from the Philippines not only left the surrounding waters of Huangyan Island in China, but had also approached Luzon Island. On January 30, the Chinese People's Liberation Army took action at Huangyan Island, thwarting the Philippine authorities' and military's attempt to establish an air exclusion zone around the island. We not only deployed the 055-class guided missile destroyers, 054A frigates, but also the H-6K long-range bombers and Su-30MKK fighters, which carried weapons and approached Manila Bay, just 230 kilometers away from Manila, the capital of the Philippines. This means that the entire Philippine territory is within the strike range of the H-6K long-range bombers and Su-30MKK fighters, including U.S. military bases stationed in the Philippines.

It's not just the Philippine authorities who are jumping up and down; the H-6K long-range bomber really doesn't care about going to Manila. For us, if we were to attack the Philippine military, there would be no need to deploy the H-6K long-range bomber. The Su-30MKK and J-16 fighter jets, along with armed drones, would have been sufficient. We deployed the 055-class guided missile destroyers, 054A frigates, and H-6K long-range bombers to counter the Philippine authorities' masterminds behind the scenes: the U.S., especially the U.S. Navy. The U.S. Navy's publicly released footage already shows that a Chinese 052D destroyer was dispatched to monitor the joint military exercises between the U.S. and the Philippines.

For us, regardless of what kind of joint military exercises the U.S. and the Philippines conduct in the South China Sea, or what equipment they use, we must respond accordingly! Only by increasing the deterrent power can we suppress their provocation! Even if the Philippine authorities and President Marcos Jr. are overconfident, we will include Manila in the exercise area, allowing the H-6K long-range bombers to flap their wings over Manila, and let the strategic drones and armed drones directly fly over Manila!
