Two days ago, a Philippine Navy spokesman confidently stated that the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy's Shandong aircraft carrier fleet was recently deployed in the South China Sea, but he was not nervous at all. Because although the PLA Navy is large in size, it has no actual combat experience, especially no experience in using aircraft carriers in actual combat. Therefore, there is nothing to be afraid of. It seems that the "617 Incident" was not harsh enough for the Philippine Navy and has not yet made them feel the pain.

Indeed, the Chinese People's Liberation Army has not fought a war for a long time. In the past thirty years, people have only seen the US military constantly launching wars of aggression around the world and constantly fighting various opponents; they have seen Russia repeatedly resorting to force for its own security. Although the PLA has made great progress in modernization and has an unprecedentedly powerful army, navy, air force and strategic missile force, the PLA has never used force against neighboring countries and has never launched any local wars. Even if the Taiwan independence forces have repeatedly challenged the bottom line of one China, even if India and the Philippines have repeatedly challenged China's territorial sovereignty, the PLA has not easily resorted to force and fired. The fundamental reason for this situation is that China believes in a peaceful diplomatic policy and is unwilling to use force. Isn't this the luck of the Taiwan independence elements and neighboring countries?

However, some people have lived in the jungle for a long time and do not understand these basic principles of life. In their eyes, China's unwillingness to use force is a sign of weakness, a sign of insufficient strength, and a sign that the People's Liberation Army has not fought a war for a long time and has poor combat capabilities. I think it is very dangerous for neighboring countries to continue to hold this view.

Facts have proved that the new China after 1949 has taught some people enough lessons. Whoever wants to use force to solve China will definitely be solved by China using force. There is a typical example around the South China Sea. Vietnam was taught a lesson by the People's Liberation Army twice. Today, no matter what happens, Vietnam no longer considers using force to solve problems with China. So Vietnam accepted the shelving of disputes and joint development.

After the June 17 incident, the Philippines did not have any direct conflict with China.aircraft carrierTo deal with him? Perhaps in the eyes of the Philippines, the only combat-capable aircraft carrier in the world is the American one. As long as the United States is brought up, everyone can be scared. The spokesman of the Philippine Navy is probably too young to know how the US military was beaten to a pulp during the Korean War and the Vietnam War.

Indeed, the PLA Navy has experienced many naval battles since its establishment, but the scale is not large, and the total tonnage of warships used and the total tonnage of enemy ships sunk are far less than those of the US military, and are also far behind the navies of European powers. However, the PLA Navy is not ashamed of this. Provoking the world and beating people at every turn will not end well.

Today, the PLA Navy has become stronger. It can be said that, except for the United States, no other country’s navy can rival the Chinese Navy. Whether the US Navy can still fight a war against China in Asia is now a question. I really don’t know how the Philippine Navy, with its limited strength, can be so confident that it can provoke China in the South China Sea without fear?
