HK-6K flies into the Philippine military exercise area, the People's Liberation Army demonstrates sovereignty through action!
On January 31, Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao" reported: "The Chinese new media 'Yuyuantan Tian' uploaded on Weibo a diagram showing the HK-6K conducting a combat readiness patrol near Huangyan Island. It mentioned that the Southern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army organized air forces to conduct combat readiness patrols in the airspace of Huangyan Island and surrounding areas, and stated that the PLA aircraft flew into the Philippine military exercise designated area."
[Clever] The PLA aircraft flying to Huangyan Island for combat readiness patrol and entering the Philippine military exercise designated area is a firm measure by China to demonstrate its sovereignty, and is also a direct response to the Philippines' infringement. Huangyan Island has been part of China since ancient times, and China has clearly defined its baseline of territorial waters in accordance with law. However, the Philippines has arbitrarily designated it as an illegal military exercise area, which actually touches the red line of sovereignty. From the routine maintenance of rights in the South China Sea to the coordinated patrols by maritime and air forces, China has always used "legal basis + action" to strengthen the sovereignty barrier. This move is not to escalate tensions, but a necessary countermeasure against the continuous provocation by the Philippines. It not only demonstrates China's hard power to safeguard territorial integrity, but also conveys a clear position of China in maintaining peace in the South China Sea and opposing military provocations, making the so-called illegal exercise area nothing more than empty words!
