there have been unusual movements in the south china sea again, but this time it was not the philippines that caused trouble. in response, china reacted very quickly. a warship and a coast guard ship arrived at the scene at the first time, and the warship had already clearly displayed its main gun.

a few days ago, when malaysia was illegally exploiting oil and gas resources in the south china sea, it discovered that a people's liberation army type 053h3 frigate and a coast guard ship appeared nearby. judging from their course, they were obviously heading towards the malaysian oil drilling platform. the workers on the platform also filmed a video, in which it can be seen that the type 053h3 frigate was sailing very fast, and the main gun on the bow of the ship had its gun cover removed, and its ship's gun could be clearly seen in the video.

the appearance of chinese ships is not without reason. as mentioned earlier, it was malaysia that was conducting illegal oil and gas exploitation operations. therefore, china must make an appropriate response to malaysia's actions and must not allow it to act recklessly in the south china sea.

it is worth mentioning that although the 053h3 frigate has a slight performance gap compared to other new warships of the people's liberation army, the deterrent force it demonstrates is still very strong. the ship has also participated in escort operations in the gulf of aden, which shows that the ship still has strong operational capabilities.

it is an indisputable fact that malaysia has illegally exploited oil and gas in the south china sea, and china has repeatedly issued warnings to malaysia on this matter. this time, the dispatch of the 053h3 frigate and a coast guard ship is a practical action to remind malaysia not to take any more actions that provoke china.

in fact, malaysia is not unaware of china's warnings and requests, but it has maintained an extremely ambiguous attitude. not long ago, malaysian prime minister anwar was asked how he viewed china's request for malaysia to stop oil and gas exploration activities in the south china sea. anwar said that he had never rejected the possibility of discussing relevant matters with china, but this did not mean that malaysia would stop its activities. he also emphasized that he hoped to resolve the problem with china through dialogue and communication.

judging from anwar’s statement, his remarks are actually self-contradictory, and he also has the ambition to seek more benefits for malaysia. on the one hand, malaysia said it wanted to talk to us, but on the other hand, it conducted illegal exploration near zengmu shoal in the south china sea without any notice. this is obviously trying to "have it all" in the south china sea. we must also keep a close eye on malaysia’s subsequent actions and never let it take advantage of us.

some analysts believe that one of the main reasons why malaysia has put the issue of differences between china and malaysia in the south china sea on the table is that the philippines has been very restless recently. this will attract most of china's attention. in this way, malaysia can take the opportunity to stir up trouble without being hit back by china.

however, the malaysian side still thought the matter was simple. when it just started its illegal exploration operations, we discovered it at the first time and quickly issued a protest. then, pla warships and coast guard ships appeared at the scene of the malaysian activities. this shows that we have kept a close eye on the south china sea 24 hours a day. even if the philippines is causing trouble, the performance of other countries still cannot escape our eyes.

what's more, malaysia should also understand that the philippines' intrusion into china's south china sea islands and reefs is wrong and dangerous. china has made its attitude and strength clear in its responses time and time again. therefore, if malaysia chooses to stir up trouble at this time, there will be no additional effect at all.
