China: The destroyer "Hopper" US Navy invaded the territorial waters of the PRC

The People’s Republic of China has accused the US Navy of invading the territorial waters of China. The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China Lu Kang said that the US Navy ship "Hopper" (missile destroyer) crossed the maritime border of China in the Huangyan Island in the South China Sea.

From the statement of Lu Kang:

Beijing regards such actions by the United States as a violation of China’s state sovereignty, basic international norms, including shipping norms.

It is noted that when crossing the sea border of China, the team of the American destroyer did not make the relevant request. Such behavior in China has been called "inappropriate, provocative and unprofessional."
From the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the PRC (translation RIA News):

The Chinese Navy, in accordance with the law, made a “friend-foe” test against the American ship and warned him to leave the relevant waters.

It is known that the Chinese watchdog "Huangshan" approached the destroyer "Hopper".

It was noted that official Beijing will take all measures to ensure its sovereignty.

According to the official representative of China, the United States "by its actions undermines the foundations of peace and stability in the region."

For reference: on the Chinese maps, the island to which the American destroyer approached is called Huangyan, on the maps of the USA it is designated as “Scarborough Reef”. In addition to China, several states in the region claim this piece of land.

As always, we won’t have time to deliver the S-400 to China ..
But there is option B ..!

Well, it’s not in vain that they say: “garbage, the main thing is maneuvers!” That is: garbage that we do not have time to deliver the C-400 .... the main thing is to get the money!

Vitaliy, do you want to drown the destroyer with an anti-aircraft missile? ?

In general, in theory, it is possible to hit a ship with an anti-aircraft missile! In the Georgian conflict, if my memory serves me right, we did this.

[Blackbeard]

but another body is such a large ship

[marlin1203]

So with a rocket with 400 "a little" more will be

Well, you won’t be able to sink, but (here I’m not at all sure) with a needle warhead it knocks out all the equipment, then the radars should damage it.

Well, on booze, we still did something wrong ...! True, it was a long time ago.

mdya, and the situation in the world is heating up, not really America, and this time hopes to sit behind two oceans, it will not work like during the Second World ...

The American walked past, and you immediately "the situation is heating up." That's when the missiles fly towards each other, then we can say about the "easy cooling of relations"

Well then there will no longer be easy cooling, but there will be complete freezing. Actually, there are so many islands, so many hosts, and everyone is arguing with each other over them But it’s definitely not good to do striped there.

So there is a point of view that the dragon is a Chinese assembly, i.e. full of holes

[dauria]

Teasing the dragon? Is there enough fire extinguishers?

They don’t tease .. They just decided that the Chinese island should give way to the American destroyer and quietly "take to the right."

[Nikolaevich I]

In Soviet times, the popular expression was: "the first thousand last Chinese warning" ..... I have long lost my account .... can anyone remember: what is it?

completely beguiled the coast, the Filipino cargo ship on board them!

[Lexus]

Filipino dry cargo ship on board!

A million Chinese fishing schooners meet them!

Give the crew screwdrivers - let the adversary on the go dismantle for parts.
By analogy with

Chinese anti-tank platoon - a crowd of Chinese with screwdrivers.

...Too much ... Last time, two Iranian boats were enough

...Too much

Just right . And then all of a sudden next time an aircraft carrier comes up ... with an escort? Then a couple of MAPLs will have to be disassembled under water.
Let them deal with useful things already, or else they’ll "strain" the entire World Ocean with their "non-brothers" -Japs. Vaughn as fishing rods

Drown, and the dispute will not - crossed or did not cross the sea border. This is not a plane, which the devil can know where to fly away after being shot down.

[marlin1203]

Well, yes ... then it is easier to "position" it on the ground ...

Well, the Americans have nothing to do on this island! As I recall, this island belonged to China before.

The islands are controversial. There the Chinese have nothing to do. He who is stronger is

Something I don’t hear the screams “Xi leaked!”, “But the USSR would have drowned them right away.” "And what did you expect from the PRC as a trillion US dollars in the reserves of their commanders in the Fed"

[askort154]

China - verbally scaring the Anglo-Saxons is useless.
Words do not act on them, only power. Example: - 1988, the Black Sea. Two patrol ships of the USSR: SKR "Bezavavetny" and "SKR-6" made a "bulk" on two Americans - RK "Yorktown", and the destroyer "Karon", which quickly retreated into neutral waters.

[APASUS]

Normal American policy of provocations. At this moment, it is more likely to depend on China how seriously it is ready to defend its territorial waters. Although it is precisely the Americans who are awaiting strong steps from the PLA to take further steps on the ocean to restrain China's ambitions.

[The_lancet]

In this moment, everything is more likely to depend precisely on China, how seriously it is ready to protect its territorial waters.

in the Huangyan Island area

These are the "controversial" islands. Therefore, they cannot be "territorial waters of the PRC 100%"

So the Americans put on the controversy of belonging, I think I wouldn’t dare.

[Herculesic]

What is the Chinese warning? Swallowed now, swallowed and the next time! It is necessary to act, and not to endanger concern!

China ,, a great country, a great nation, great means big, huge, RUSSIA is a big country, one might say huge. , that’s the case. TO BE IN THE PLACE TO TURN ORDER ON THE PLANET EARTH.

----------------------------------
China is heavily dependent on sea routes - fuel delivery, resources for industry, trade logistics. The United States knows this and therefore is trying to tense the situation under the specious pretext of "freedom of international shipping." And China is trying to take over all the islands and archipelagos around it.

[Baby sitter]

Well, staffers in more than China depend on maritime logistics.

Such behavior was called "inappropriate, defiant and unprofessional" in China.

It reminds someone very much. Words, expressions and sadness ...

Good China so far .. One only I do not like there, there are no free benches. To small jambs with violation of the border does not respond like a hysterical. When he mows, the neighbors also don’t throw a tantrum, I don’t know exactly why, either out of respect, or because of a dumb ignorance of the facts.

I hope that the mess will not begin with us. At one time, the genius of Stalin first forced the capitalists to squabble among themselves ... but that was a long time ago. Now it may be like at the beginning of the 1 world war - as always, Russia is not ready, but several Russian soldiers are always ready to kill millions of millionaires for the interests of our partners. We can send the soldiers where the thread — the French remember, for example, they planted our cannon fodder. That is not the paddling pool! You look and the royal debts will be written off ... maybe. Well, they won’t write off ... yes, nonsense, we are kind.
