China "cordially" met the destroyer of the USA, which entered the disputed waters

71
Chinese warships and fighters met the US destroyer USS Stethem, which entered the waters of the disputed Xisha Islands (Paracel Islands) in the South China Sea, which Beijing considers its own. This was stated by the Chinese Foreign Ministry, accusing Washington of violating the sovereignty of China, reports RIA News.

On July 2, the American destroyer USS Stethem entered the waters of the Chinese Xish Islands without permission. China immediately dispatched warships and fighters in order to make a warning to the American ship and force it out of its territorial waters.
- said in a statement to the official representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China Lu Kahn, published on the website of the department.



China expressed strong protest at the actions of the American side and called the entry of the destroyer of the US Navy into the water area of ​​the disputed islands as a serious political and military provocation that threatens the infrastructure and personnel located on Xisha.

Xisha Islands are the original territory of China. The United States, hiding behind the banner of "freedom of navigation," once again sent a warship that voluntarily entered the waters of the Chinese Xisha Islands, violating Chinese laws and the relevant norms of international law, grossly violating China’s sovereignty, undermining peace, security and order in these waters
- noted in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, urging the United States to stop such actions.

American warships regularly enter the disputed territorial waters, China protests in response. The White House previously stated that such actions are designed to protect free shipping in the area.

We remind you that between China, Japan, Vietnam and the Philippines there is a dispute regarding maritime borders and areas of responsibility in the South China and East China Seas. Beijing considers the Xisha and Nansha (Spratly) archipelagoes, which have territorial claims and other countries in the region, its territory, and states that its activities on these islands and in adjacent waters are completely legal and fall under Chinese sovereignty.

          But they will never tell you about this. Under the Union, it is often possible to catch Japanese fishing vessels in our waters. Now silence. All sold at the root, catch anyone. Moscow bribed a bribe and rowed. Not your pity. But the military didn’t even think of approaching our waters in those days. Neither above nor under water.

            The incident in the Black Sea on February 12, 1988.

            Bulk of "Selfless" at "Yorktown"
            At the beginning of February of 1988, it became known about the upcoming entry into the Black Sea of ​​the Yorktown missile cruiser and the Karon destroyer from the 6th US fleet. American ships, having passed the Turkish straits, entered the Black Sea on February 12. They were immediately taken under surveillance by reconnaissance ships of the Black Sea Fleet. On the same day, the commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Admiral Mikhail Chronopulo, was ordered to act in accordance with the previously received directive - if they violate the state border, act decisively, up to and including the bulk of these ships. Two patrol ships of the Black Sea Fleet were assigned to this operation: Bezavezhetny and SKR-6. They were to become the main force designed to suppress possible actions to violate the border of the territorial waters of the country. According to the central command post of the USSR Navy, the events in the area between Yalta and Foros, where the Americans came, looked as follows:

            At 09:45 on February 12, 1988 (half an hour before the Americans supposedly entered the Foros Gulf), they transmitted openly from York to the Yorktown: “Your course leads to crossing the territorial waters of the USSR.” I suggest to go to the course 110 ". The signal was left unanswered. Then the chief of staff of the Black Sea Fleet ordered the commander of the Bezavezhetny to broadcast the following warning on the American cruiser on the radio: “Under the existing Soviet laws, the right of peaceful passage by foreign warships in this area is prohibited. In order to avoid an incident, I strongly recommend changing your course in order to prevent violations of the territorial waters of the USSR. ” At 10:15 from Yorktown, the answer came: “I understand you. I don't break anything. I act in accordance with international rules. ”

            Then the Black Sea Fleet Commander Admiral Chronopulo himself intervened, on the orders of which the Bezavezhetny sent a warning to the American cruiser: “Before entering the territorial waters of the USSR, there are 20 cables. In case of violation of territorial waters by you, I have an order to oust you all the way to the bulk ”, but at 10:45, Yorktown answered again:“ I will not change course. I use the right of peaceful passage. I’m not breaking anything. ” At that moment, both ships crossed the border of the territorial waters of the USSR, and the border SKR Izmail raised a signal: "You violated the border of the territorial waters of the USSR."

            SKR-6 set off in pursuit of the American destroyer, which was evading the bulk by increasing the speed. All Soviet ships picked up the same signal as Ishmael. “Selfless” at that time was on the yoke of the port side of the Yorktown, and SKR-6 followed the wake of Karon. American ships continued to move towards the Crimean coast. The reasons for this were not clear: either a change in course was not provided for by the plans of the American side, or it was beyond the competence of the ship commanders. At 10:56, the destroyer Karon, noting the decisive maneuver of the SKR-6 that was catching it, which was 150 meters away, hastily raised a signal: "Do not approach the board!" At the same time, "Bezavavetny" followed only fifty meters from the "Yorktown". The last exchange of signals followed, which did not lead to anything. And then both Black Sea watchmen, having sharply increased their course, began to pile on twice as large American ships.

            "Selfless" constantly reported to the fleet command post in Sevastopol a message about the distance. On the aft deck at the side of the Yorktown, crowded sailors who watched the approach of the Soviet guard. It was 11:02 when the "Bezavetatny" landed on the left side of the cruiser, with a rattle, walked through the leeers and the launcher of the Harpoon missiles, crushing them. Meanwhile, SKR-6 landed on the port side in the stern of the Karon destroyer, damaging the boat and davit to him (the bulwark was crushed on the guard and the racks were bent). But the exact calculation and skill of the commanders of both ships allowed us to fulfill a difficult order, demonstrating the decisiveness of their own intentions, without crossing a dangerous line. At the same time, in this difficult situation, more serious injuries and human casualties were avoided.

            At 11:40, Admiral Chronopulo transmitted an order from Moscow to both ships of the USSR: “Depart from US ships, transfer them the requirement to leave the territorial waters of the USSR. Be prepared for bulk. ” Moving away from the American ships to a safe distance, both watchdogs continued to escort the intruders in full readiness to repeat the maneuver. But both American ships went on a course of leaving territorial waters and no longer returned in the same way. Having stepped into neutral waters, they went into a drift, conducting active negotiations on the radio with their superiors, and headed for the Bosphorus. These vessels no longer entered Soviet territorial waters.

          And what is most interesting in the provocation of 1988 is that the Soviet ship caught up with the American and then made a bulk, and in the incident with the British we looked helpless, and if it had not been for the drying, it would have reached the Crimean bridge.
          Eh! But there were times that they were afraid to look askance in our direction

    Judging by the official commentary of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, it is clear that the Chinese are afraid of a conflict with the United States to death, therefore they take a "bent" position: "China immediately sent warships and fighters in order to warn the American ship" (C) laughing

    On July 12 last year, the Hague Arbitration Court determined that Beijing did not have the right to disputed territories in the South China Sea. In response, President Xi Jinping of China said that the islands in the SKM since ancient times have been an integral part of China.

    According to the idea, from a legal point of view, the PRC is not right and its actions violate the rights of other "orphans", it’s the same as if the Russian Federation began to artificially create islands in the center of the Sea of ​​Azov .... and began to deploy Iskander and helicopter sites ....., the United States certainly does not give a damn about the violated rights of China's neighbors, but they are unlikely to miss the chance to arm everyone to the teeth, but not like we are on credit, but for real money .....

      Well, the Hague to China is not a decree. By the way, they consider the whole of Siberia as their territory.

        Like Mongolia ....
        However, the Convention on International Law of the Sea has not been canceled .... to which the United States, unlike China, has never acceded .....

    Record of negotiations between the Chinese Navy and the P-8A Poseidon aircraft of the US Air Force during a flight over the disputed islands in the South China Sea. Chet hysteria. Not the first time such a situation.

    I think in such cases, including we need to use bulk on an American ship, such a moment was already in the days of the USSR

      From a nearby barge, a thousand Chinese will be piled on a destroyer and it will drown from overload.

    The Chinese did the right thing, that's right! From everywhere to drive amers ---- this is what int. politics should be, they are worse than thieves, where they appear there begins a mess and ruin! Each news about the failures of amers --- to me like a balm on my heart)

    The Americans shot down the Syrian Su-22 because it flew “dangerously close” to pro-American terrorists. If the Chinese used American impudence, they had every right to drown the insolent
