Recently, the South China Sea has once again become a focal point of international attention.

With the imminent implementation of new regulations by the Chinese Coast Guard, the Philippines seems to have received "aid," and the People's Liberation Army has quickly made a strong response.

Do these series of movements foreshadow a repeat of the tense situation in the South China Sea eight years ago? Who will ultimately become the winner of this game?

In the vast waters of the South China Sea, a silent contest is taking place. With only two days left before the new regulations of the Chinese Coast Guard come into effect, the atmosphere here is becoming increasingly tense.

Under the originally calm sea surface, there is a hidden current, and a conflict that may change the regional pattern seems to be brewing.

The PLA's three Type 055 ships suddenly appeared in the South China Sea and carried out a six-day and five-night comprehensive exercise, demonstrating strong maritime combat capabilities.

At the same time, J-16 fighters also appeared in the relevant airspace with live ammunition, conducting patrols. This series of actions undoubtedly added fuel to the already tense situation in the South China Sea.

People are speculating whether this is a sign of the South China Sea confrontation eight years ago.

Let's rewind time to eight years ago. At that time, two US aircraft carrier battle groups entered the South China Sea, attempting to force China to accept the so-called "South China Sea Arbitration" concocted by the Philippines through military pressure.

However, the Chinese Navy elite came out in full force and engaged in a large-scale confrontation with the US Navy, ultimately successfully repelling the US aircraft carrier. That scene is still vivid.

Now, history seems to be repeating itself. With the implementation of the new regulations, China's law enforcement and patrol strength in the South China Sea are gradually increasing.

In places such as Huangyan Island, Xianbin Reef, and Ren'ai Reef, the frequent activities of the Chinese Coast Guard and the PLA seem to be declaring to the world: China's sovereignty and rights and interests in the South China Sea are not to be violated.

However, at this critical moment, the Philippines' "savior" has unexpectedly appeared. The US military exercise codenamed "Valiant Shield" has started in the South China Sea area and will last until June 18th.

This military exercise not only invited the Japan Self-Defense Forces to participate deeply but also the subjects practiced are basically offensive.

What is more intriguing is that the "Valiant Shield" military exercise has never been held in the South China Sea area before, but this time it chose this sensitive sea area.

This undoubtedly threw a heavy bomb into the already tense situation in the South China Sea.

The US's provocative actions did not stop here. The two US aircraft carriers, the "Roosevelt" and the "Reagan," successively approached the South China Sea, forming a powerful military presence with several other international warships.

These warships carried out a series of actions to show off their military power in the South China Sea area, attempting to restrain China's energy and disrupt China's development pace through military deterrence.

However, China was not deterred by this series of actions. On the contrary, the PLA quickly responded.

The appearance of the three Type 055 destroyers and the J-16 fighter's live ammunition patrol are both strong responses to external provocations.

These actions not only show China's military strength but also convey a clear message: any attempt to infringe upon China's sovereignty and rights and interests will be severely cracked down upon.

In this series of tense confrontations, we have to ask: who will ultimately become the winner? From a historical perspective, the South China Sea confrontation eight years ago has already given a clear answer.

At that time, the Chinese Navy successfully repelled the US aircraft carrier through elite forces and decisive action, maintaining the country's sovereignty and dignity.

Today's Chinese Navy is no longer what it was, with even stronger military strength and more determined determination to defend the country's interests.

In this silent contest, the Chinese Navy once again demonstrated its spirit of not fearing strong enemies and daring to draw its sword.

Whether it is the strong appearance of the Type 055 destroyer or the J-16 fighter's live ammunition patrol, it highlights the Chinese Navy's combat readiness and combat strength.

This powerful military presence not only makes external forces step back but also makes the domestic people feel at ease and proud.

Of course, we cannot ignore the threats and challenges of external forces. The military presence and activities of the United States and its allies in the South China Sea area are still an issue that cannot be ignored.

They attempt to restrain China's development pace through military deterrence, but this approach is doomed to be futile. Because China has already had enough strength and determination to respond to any external challenges and threats.

Back to the original question: who will ultimately become the winner of this game?

The answer is already obvious. Between the Chinese Navy's strong response and the futile provocation of external forces, the victory or defeat is already clear.

China will continue to firmly maintain the country's sovereignty and rights and interests, maintain a strong military presence and combat readiness in the South China Sea area, and ensure the country's security and stability.

At the same time, we also call on all parties to remain calm and restrained, resolve disputes and issues through dialogue and consultation, and jointly maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea area.

In short, in the current situation of the South China Sea, any attempt to solve problems through military means is unacceptable.

Only through peaceful, cooperative, and dialogue methods can the best way to solve problems be found.

We believe that under the joint efforts of the Chinese government and people, the South China Sea issue will eventually be properly resolved, and the peace and stability of the region will be effectively maintained.

In this South China Sea situation, we have seen the rise and strong strength of the Chinese Navy, as well as the futile provocation and failure of external forces.

The future situation in the South China Sea is still full of challenges and variables, but China will continue to maintain a high level of vigilance and determination to defend the country's sovereignty and rights and interests from infringement.

At the same time, we also call on all parties to remain calm and restrained, resolve disputes and issues through dialogue and consultation, and jointly maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea area.

In summary, in the current situation of the South China Sea, any attempt to solve problems through military means is unacceptable.

Only through peaceful, cooperative, and dialogue methods can the best way to solve problems be found.

We believe that under the joint efforts of the Chinese government and people, the South China Sea issue will eventually be properly resolved, and the peace and stability of the region will be effectively maintained.
