China puts army on full alert after US destroyers enter Taiwan Strait

The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) has been put on full alert after two American destroyers entered the Taiwan Strait. This is stated in the message of the combat command of the Eastern zone of the PLA.

This morning, two American warships entered the Taiwan Strait at once, the first visit by US Navy ships since Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan. As Reuters reported, the destroyers Chancellorsville and Antietam participated in the operation. The command of the US Navy said that the ships of the American fleet carry out the "standard operation". In addition, the Pentagon stressed that the United States will continue to operate in the air and maritime space, where international law allows.

Washington considers the Taiwan Strait an international territory, Beijing has a different point of view. China has repeatedly stated that Taiwan is part of the PRC, so the strait is inland waters. The entry of two US Navy ships caused the PLA to be put on full alert.

The troops of the combat command zone maintain high combat readiness and are ready at any moment to thwart any provocation

- said the representative of the combat command of the Eastern Zone of the PLA, Senior Colonel Shi Yi.

So far, there are no reports of Chinese ships and aircraft being sent to Taiwan, but the troops on the island are also on alert to repel a possible attack. At the same time, the Taiwanese armed forces were ordered not to provoke the Chinese military so that the conflict would not escalate into an active phase. However, US actions in the region may push China towards a forceful solution to the Taiwan issue.

There, the width of the strait is from 130 to 170 kilometers. How could the Americans pass there without entering the territorial waters of China?

I am not an expert, but I heard something about the 200-mile zone and about territorial waters. Or are there other rules in place? For example, that America can cut through the sea-waves wherever it pleases - the first thing that comes to mind.

[neworange88]

Well, something like this.

International law does not allow the extension of territorial waters beyond 12 nautical miles (22,2 km), however, some states unilaterally established wider territorial waters (for example, Brazil, Peru, Sierra Leone, Uruguay, Ecuador, etc.).

Vessels of all states enjoy the right of innocent passage through territorial waters, subject to the provisions of the Convention (passage must not violate the security of the coastal state, submarines can only pass on the surface, etc.). Under the domestic laws of some States, foreign warships may only pass through their territorial waters and enter their internal maritime waters with the prior permission of the government of the State concerned.

Well, something like this.

This is not for my land brains.
Did they, the Americans, still violate the Chinese maritime border or not?

And then, according to this scheme, I realized that I would go by sea to Manhattan in a rubber boat, I would break windows in skyscrapers with a slingshot and no one would do anything to me.

[neworange88]

The width of the Taiwan Strait in some places is from 130 km to 380 km. Let's take the smallest width of 130 km and subtract 44,4 km of territorial waters from mainland China 22,2 km on one side and from Taiwan 22,2 km on the other side. There remains 85,6 km of width in the Taiwan Strait, not related to the territorial waters of China, through which the passage of American destroyers is possible.

Yes, I already understood at least one moment - the Americans themselves would have rushed to enter Chinese waters.
Well, if they turned the fleet from Kim under Trump to the left at such a speed as on the parade ground on the combatant "Let's go!" they don’t, then they wouldn’t climb at all, if at least in theory there would be danger.
The Chinese, not only on destroyers, can gasp. These are not at all the Chinese who were chased with slits during the "Opium Wars" ...

[Nickelium]

Well, those Chinese were at least stronger in spirit. The same ihetuani. A modern - quite plush. like pandas.

[Shurik70]

Americans do not take Chinese military threats seriously.
Not after he screwed up with Pelosi, not getting her down, not even trying to intercept the plane to force her to land at his place.
The Chinese are feared economically.
Now, if China raises export-import taxes "due to the entry of American ships into the borders of China's waters," then yes. They get scared.

[Nickelium]

Just the opposite. It is the Chinese who are afraid that the West will close the door to them.

[Dilettante grandfather]

As far as I understand, the Chinese consider the entire maritime space between the mainland and the island to be their inland strait. It doesn’t matter how far from the coast it is: the island is Chinese, which means there are territorial waters. And they consider the border from Taiwan ... Well, it seems to me that this is the case.

Something like this, in the middle, without going over the fence of 22,2 km, I don’t want to go, I don’t wire exercises with firing. (Training).

[fa2998]

Territorial waters are 12 miles. (22 km.) You are talking about a 200-mile zone, so this is about an economic zone - American destroyers don’t drill the bottom there? And about the straits, if they are narrow, there are separate agreements. Taiwan Strait sea of ​​neutral waters-swim-do not want!!

[The black]

Yes, what kind of "fire" is there! ... The Americans flew where they needed to, where they wanted to swim ... And China, like a small dog from behind a fence, barked and almost strangled herself on a leash .... that's how everything looks so far. ... even the sanctions that they used after messing up with the threat to shoot down the plane turned out to be, by and large, zilch .... they left the climate treaty, puffed out their cheeks ...ugh....

"Nothing can be done" if the Chinese have signed international agreements on maritime law. Our "partners" are preparing problems in the Arctic. On the maps of the USSR, the STATE BORDER meridians were drawn to the Pole, and a POINT was put on this. But Russia, overburdened with all sorts of agreements, will have to prove its rights in the Arctic...

Cruisers of the Tikanderoga class passed by. In 1988, we took one to ram. And in 1992, Yorktown already visited Severomorsk with a friendship visit. That's what they came to, with the collapse of the USSR. Only 4 years and the Americans moored in the base of the Northern Fleet. I can imagine the state of our sailors.

[Sergio_7]

Americans will once again show who is who in reality!

[tralflot1832]

Have they already passed, but did they promise to return? Has the traffic in the strait changed? When will it be empty / empty then we'll talk.

And military steps should be taken against Taiwan.

And how long is this other state ready to endure for pragmatic reasons.
And how quickly political considerations outweigh pragmatism.

Iran is bombing because they have nothing to lose, and the Chinese have something to lose! Their economy has developed thanks to the WTO as well. Pinds control this area including the dollar.

Power is enough.
It's not only and not so much about him.

Are you sure that Iran has nothing to lose?
Why hasn't he sent his missiles to Israel so far?
There is always something to lose.
It's just that we often don't know how to appreciate what we have until we lose it.

It is impossible not to react, this will mean de jure recognition of the American point of view on the status of the Strait and Taiwan, which is also most likely what our striped partners are striving for. But not to fight with them is pure suicide and not only for China.

China and Russia in the nuclear potential in different weight

I'm talking about China and the USA. Russia is not included in the comparison.

[Novosibirsk]

You just mean someone else

[IVZ]

The world is full of countries with nuclear weapons. Only in this region India, Pakistan, North Korea. Can you imagine that at least someone, even Russia, would openly unleash a war with the States? Even the approximate equality of nuclear arsenals does not give a chance to win.

[Novosibirsk]

But in the same way, the States will not go.

[IVZ]

Are you sure? Did they promise you this? Well then of course..

[Nickelium]

Well, the more your arsenal, the less chance your opponent has.

[IVZ]

You also need to consider your chances. If a group of politicians like Liz Truss or other pontorez, who are crazy about their reputation, still manage to press the button, the advantage in chances will console few people.

[Nickelium]

Well, you still need to distinguish PR from reality. Lisa from the track is now in the primaries. And what can not be said for the sake of victory. But this does not mean that she is ready to self-destruct. Fucked up politicians without looking back fry only the Papuans with stone axes.

China and Russia in the nuclear potential in different weight

Has Russia already somewhere taken advantage of the presence of a nuclear potential and the proportionality of the territories? Yes, this NATO grouping could have long been said about the "Gulkin horseradish" that will remain of Europe, with such an active aggressive policy.
The Krasnoyarsk Territory covers especially aggressive ones (Small Britain + Poland + ...), like a bull to a sheep. And they are still not YET crap in the stall. Some crazy, nasty housewife reaches for the red button with the goal (even!!!) of delivering a preventive strike on the Russian Federation, as if it was smeared with honey ...
Then a situation came when persuasion and explanations would no longer help. Practical action is capable of instilling prudence in the cerebral appendages.
It's time for the GDP and Xi Jinping to work out a coordinated decision on how to respond to such "tricking". And then these vultures will peck us apart until the end of time.

You need a reason to use it. And it would be better if no one had this reason.

[yuriy55]

Quote: Nickelium

You need a reason to use it.

Indeed, for some, the presence of nuclear weapons is a reason to drop a couple of bombs for a hat analysis in order to show the world who is the boss on the planet; make plans for the destruction of an entire country carrying a new (not speculative, not slavery, not predatory) ideology, marking Soviet cities on maps to be destroyed; this is a reason to surround the country with missile bases, ALMOST bringing the world to TMV .... For others, this is a reason to be eternal "tolerants", to drool when the shobla of corrupt officials in the company of thieves ruined a once successful country, replacing socialist statehood with a liberal market one with preference the principles of FSC and the laws of the chicken coop; sign enslaving agreements, refusing state attributes; an excuse to give away territories to enemies just to get personal preferences or a new iPhone model; a reason to puff out your cheeks by selling natural resources to countries that kill Russian citizens ...
No one calls for unleashing TMV, but it is not necessary to continue to pretend that such a small SVO is going sideways. We are not children, so as not to understand what is happening. We do not want to be sheep sheared day and night for our own welfare. Stop following the world and local parasites.
A person is born for a happy life, not for lifelong slavery.
We are not at the concert to listen to these sweet songs about the ghostly happiness that will come after 2036.

Did I understand correctly that the "Voevoda" should be thrown at the officials? Well, OK.
In order not to be patient, you need to uproot all these Western weeds sown since the second half of the 80s, that is, in fact, a second revolution is needed. Do you agree to the second revolution? Bolivar can handle two?
