Incident near the Sisha Islands: US Navy destroyer with the Tomahawk KR ended up in the half ring of warships of the Chinese Navy

Representative of the Southern Military Command of China, Colonel Li Huaming, during a briefing, reported on an incident with an American warship in the Xisha Islands (Paracel Islands). A Chinese officer told media representatives that an American Arly Burke class destroyer “illegally invaded the territorial waters of China” in the Yongle archipelago (south of Hainan Island).

We are talking about the destroyer "Mustin" (USS Mustin - DDG-89) of the US Navy, carrying on its board a tactical strike weapon in the form of cruise missiles (CR) "Tomahawk."

Li Huamin:

In connection with the provocative entry into the waters of the Sisha Islands by an American missile destroyer, Chinese warships and weapons aviation were sent to the area to expel the intruder ship.

A few hours later, the warship Mustin left the waters of the Yunle archipelago when it ended up in the semicircle of the ships of the PLA Navy. At the same time, they urgently had to return to the deck aircraft (helicopter), previously raised "to monitor the situation."

Colonel Lee called the situation an attempt to undermine China's sovereignty and damage regional stability. According to the PLA colonel, "this is a brazen act of navigational hegemony."

What does the United States Navy say about this?

As it turns out, the United States does not see the situation as a violation of China’s maritime borders.
Rachel Mole, spokesman for the US Pacific military command, notes that "the US Navy destroyer did not violate international law."

Like:

The US Navy warship defended navigational rights and freedoms in the waters of the Paracel Islands in full compliance with international law.

Rachel Mol adds that "China itself violates the rules of navigation in the area of ​​the disputed archipelago." From the statement:

China interferes with normal shipping in this area. And that is unacceptable.

The US Pacific Command made it clear that they were outraged by the numerical navy superiority of China in the area of ​​the Sisha Islands, which allowed us to carry out the American destroyer, armed with the Tomahawks.

It was necessary for the Chinese to take this destroyer prisoner.

Dig a hole in the board so that it starts to sink, and then save it. So no one would understand that Pindo .. they captured ...

A few hours later, the warship Mustin left the waters of the Yongle archipelago when it ended up in the semicircle of the ships of the PLA Navy. In this case, urgently had to return on board carrier-based aircraft (helicopter), previously raised "to monitor the situation."

Well done the Chinese!

One gets the impression that India, Vietnam and a number of Southeast Asian countries will have to forget about the "disputed territories" with the PRC.

They are just pretending to remember that there are "disputed territories" with the PRC. The "penguins" are only making excuses that they did not violate ... No one will go to war against the PRC from Southeast Asia.

That's what a lot of warships mean. No matter how much the Chinese frigates and destroyers cry over the fact that they are supposedly weakly armed, inferior, they are doing their own thing. No super-sophisticated American ship will stand up to the crowd.
Unfortunately, this does not apply to us.

[Doccor18]

This is the first slip on the nose of the "naval hegemony" of the Americans. China builds warships in a way that will take your breath away. Now such situations, when others will be faced with the numerical superiority of the Chinese Navy, will become commonplace.

[Suslin]

It was necessary to throw fishing nets around this destroyer, turn on anti-diving protection, and propose the evacuation of personnel to their homeland. And the ship is a sea trophy or prizes.

Firstly :

Secondly :

- the cases of "squeezing" the USSR from such territories are unknown to me ...

He will not answer, only make a noise. But in principle, there was such a thing of June 01, 1990. "The line of betrayal" by Shevardnadze. So her name is fishermen, border guards and ordinary Far Easterners. From Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky to this imaginary line in the Bering and Chukchi seas - three days go. When in the summer of 1990 official information appeared in the Soviet press about the treaty on the delimitation of water between the United States and the USSR, few people paid attention to its bias towards US interests. The then Minister of Foreign Affairs of the USSR, Eduard Shevardnadze, signed such a generous treaty with the US Secretary of State James Baker that about 50 thousand sq. M. Were withdrawn from the economic zone of the USSR in favor of the USA. kilometers of the Pacific.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

According to Shevardnadze, I agree with you. But I talked about the beginning of the collapse of the Union. And the beginning is the fall of the Berlin Wall, the withdrawal of the army in a bare field, the Bialowieza Agreement .... and so on .. ,, lucky, me and Mishka. Still hiccups .. (((

The collapse began with Marshals Zhukov and Moskalenko by a military coup, the assassination of L.P. Beria, and the removal from power of Malenkov. Yes, and another supposedly marshal, and in those days, Lieutenant General from political work L.I. Brezhnev also participated, it was from then on that Khrushchev began to pull him up. As it turned out, on his own ж head.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

From the telephone keypad, you don’t really talk. But I'm talking about the result of the existence of the Union. Although, I consider this a historical tragedy for our entire multinational people.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

I’ll add, if we talk about the “Caribbean crisis”, the DFL crews objectively survived, and not our elderly leadership of the country.

I'll correct, if we're talking about the "Caribbean crisis," the DPL crews simply followed the orders of the "aged leadership" of the country, as written in their oath. If you think otherwise, you are, to put it mildly, wrong. And then, in the 62nd there were many elderly people in the country's leadership? Just to spit on the Union, or what? Must be a patriot of the Russian Federation Well then

[16329]

The leader of the USSR, Nikita Khrushchev, was then 69 years old, Trump is 74 now, why write about an elderly leadership, but in general the Caribbean crisis is just an example of not persistence, but inconsistency in Khrushchev’s policy

[Normal ok]

The destroyer of the US Navy with the Tomahawk KR was in the half ring of the warships of the Chinese Navy

So what?

Quote: Normal ok

So what?

And the fact that in this case the difference with the "Kerch incident" is only in the fact that the "impregnable Naval Forces" was dragged to the Crimea in tow, and the Americans were given the opportunity to heel by the Chinese ...

And nothing more

[eklmn]

The fact that China captures the disputed islands and waters of Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Russia (and the patriots on the site) are silent - friendship covers friendship. After all, grabbing a piece of disputed territory is just a spit for both countries. Even a great nation cannot force itself and google who owns the island - it believes everything that will be stewed. It is clear that managing such a people is easy ....

[Operator]

The Chinese should start "cruising" their destroyers in the waters of the island of Guam

[domovoy doma_2]

This event will fall into the textbooks on the naval history of China

[Avior]

article of course raises the Chinese, only in other sources is not quite so.
The American entered the archipelago, there were two ships of the Chinese Navy — the corvette pr056 and frigate054, so it’s not entirely clear what kind of half-ring? or were there still boats or boats?
An American came out a few hours later, it didn’t seem like a hurry ..
Nothing like that similar case when our bulk Americans were crowded out near Crimea.
And crowded out - the same.

[iouris]

"Numerical superiority" is understandable. It's easy to understand.

[faterdom]

It was necessary for China not to supplant the American - but to accept amendments to the Constitution! That he is wrong. You can even in the American! Here's how ...
And to surround them with their ships when there are more, and then there will be even more - this is dishonest! So it is, of course, so anyone can ...

[Revolver]

Firstly, the Paracel Islands do not belong to China. Secondly, the destroyer could, using the local superiority of forces, and would sink, and most likely at the same time they would row for themselves the dubious pleasure of the destroyer themselves so that my mother does not grieve. And what would they do with the global superiority of the US Navy (this is not counting NATO, Australia, Japan, and the South Caucasus, which would fit exactly), except for the bulge at the bottom? The Chinese are not so bad as to not understand, well, they kept their distance in a half-ring. And the destroyer did what he planned, and as planned, went about his business. You can minus, this will not change the essence of what happened.
