Asian press: Chinese military are satisfied with the inconspicuous activities of the British AUG in the South China Sea

32

The Hong Kong edition of SCMP, citing sources in the Chinese Navy, reports on the Chinese reaction to the presence of an aircraft carrier strike group in the South China Sea. Recall that the flagship of this group is the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth. Earlier, the Chinese media wrote that China would give a tough response in the event of a provocation by the ships of the British AUG off the coast of the PRC, including the islands. At the same time, it was stated that the reaction would depend on how the ships of the British aircraft carrier group would behave.

Now, according to the Hong Kong edition, the rhetoric has softened somewhat. From columnist Minnie Chan:



A source close to the PLA says the Chinese military is satisfied with the low profile activities of the British fleet (AUG) in the South China Sea.


The PLA Navy notes that so far the British do not allow themselves provocations. It is added that at the moment the AUG ships "did not allow themselves to sail in the area of ​​the Chinese islands." We are talking about the Spratly archipelago, which China calls Nansha and considers its own. At the same time, several other countries in the region claim the islands, including Vietnam, the Philippines and Brunei. By the way, the other day it was in Brunei that the ships of the British aircraft carrier strike group made a call.

From the material of the Asian press:

In so doing, Britain avoided joining the United States in directly challenging China's territorial claims of 12 nautical miles in disputed waters in the archipelago. The PLA regards this as a positive signal.

At the same time, it is reported that in the week HMS Queen Elizabeth left the South China Sea and moved to the Philippine Sea.

We will remind that earlier in London announced the plans of the AUG to pass through the Taiwan Strait. On the eve, Voennoye Obozreniye reported about the information that was voiced in the United States - the appearance in the strait of "many Chinese submarines", including the Chinese submarines of the "Varshavyanka" project.

    ... This is exactly the case when inaction is more useful than vigorous activity ... so they say, at least.

          Found the reason for Lizka's departure to the Philippine Sea. Since August 4, a typhoon has been raging between China and Taiwan, with the self-explanatory name "Lupit". So the arrogant decided that this "Lupit" did not beat them to get away from sin. And on the subject, wind speed "Lupita" is only 23 m / sec. And Lizka as an aircraft carrier is not capable of combat.

      In 2015, Comrade Xi made a state visit to Britain.
      He brought proposals for colossal investments (more than $ 50 billion).
      The Queen greeted him with joy and honors that Trump had never dreamed of.
      Of course, the United States over the past time has greatly bent Britain and all its Commonwealth (one story with Huawei is worth something), but the Britons did not remain completely without a head and they will not tease China.
      You never know how things will turn in the future. hi

        China, over the past 10 years, has bought up industrial enterprises in Europe in the amount of $ 400 billion.

          Without discussing the amount (I do not know how reliable) I draw your attention to the fact that this is corporate money in exchange for assets.
          And I wrote about China's direct public investment in Britain.

      I think that speaking of "inconspicuous activity" meant the absence of provocative actions similar to the Crimean ones with the British destroyer Defender.

      It's not about fear as such. Provocations are made for specific purposes. The Brita were also afraid in the Crimea. It can come easily. If the Chinese also begin to drive their ships, this image will generally smear. Brita roll around the world and run up. They don't need such headlines. Although they are wounded all over their heads, they are definitely not stupid.

        So casually. China in the UN Security Council never goes anywhere in international conflicts. At the end of June, the UN Security Council raised the question, at the request of Argentina, about the fate of the Falkland Islands. Everything went on routinely until the speech of the representative of the PRC. -with an angry speech. Sense of which, enough England to rattle weapons and she needs to sit down at the negotiating table with Argentina and resolve this issue peacefully. Lizka was still hovering in the Indian Ocean. Here is geopolitics. hi

    And where should the English twitch? American air wing. There is only one British destroyer in the order.
    Without the United States, in which case they won't even be able to dump, the Chinese will shower them with shale.
    Therefore, they pretended to be a rag and do not shine.

      This destroyer is the only one that was able to go to sea ...

      The Defense News portal, citing information from the British Minister for Military Procurement, Jeremy Quinn, said that the Defender ship remained the only active destroyer of the British Navy.

      The British Navy has only six Type 45 destroyers in service. Three of them are docked for maintenance, the destroyer Dauntless is undergoing refitting, and Diamond has experienced technical problems during a cruise in the Indo-Pacific region.

      "American Air Wing." ///

      The planes are rented. But the pilots are English.
      Actually, you can always expect more provocations from the British than from the Americans.
      American officers are very disciplined - there is no amateur performance.
      But in the traditions of the British Navy - to embark on individual adventures.
      Among their navy captains, "reckless brave guys" have always been appreciated

        I kind of don't mind. Let the commander of the British AUG think of himself as D'Oilly-Hugo. He also thought that Glories was not in danger. Nothing sober up like life-giving stars, especially with your feet.

    If you swim and provoke around the world, you can run into other reckless sailors and get a couple of torpedoes in the side. It's a question of time.
