Beijing control shot at Washington
China won a crushing victory over the United States. Although little is said about it undeservedly in the world, it is only comparable in strategic importance with the return of Crimea to Russia, and perhaps even surpasses it. It is about organizing the PRC defense system on the islands of the South China Sea.
Chinese defense system
It is known that the water area of the South China Sea, as well as the Spratly archipelago and the Paracel Islands located there, are a disputed territory. In addition to China, they are claimed by the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei. True, only China and ... the USA are active there.
It became known that the PRC installed on the aforementioned islands located in the South China Sea, HQ9B anti-aircraft missile systems with a range of 300 kilometers. In addition, there are now placed anti-ship cruise missiles YJ-12B with a radius of 550 kilometers. Electronic warfare systems have also appeared, creating artificial interference for signals.
In total, U.S. intelligence has counted 27 Chinese outposts on the Spratly Archipelago, Paracel Islands and Scarborough Reef.
Applicant countries have not made any steps and statements. The Philippines, for example, stated that the weapons were not directed against them, and that China promised to take the Philippines under protection and patronage.
The most violent reaction to the actions of the PRC came from the United States. US President spokeswoman Sarah Sanders expressed concern and threatened the Chinese with retaliatory measures.
In response, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said:
A Pentagon spokesman said China’s actions contribute to "increased tension and increased mistrust."
Well, the distrust between the US and China in this region has nowhere to grow further, and it is too late for the American leadership to strain on this issue, you can already relax.
Why are you worried in the USA?
The fact is that the Spratly Islands are located about 1200 kilometers from the Chinese coast. And serious threats to China can come only from the United States and only from the Pacific Ocean. In the western part of the Pacific Ocean, the Americans have serious naval forces of the 7th fleet, including a powerful aircraft carrier group. In the event of a conflict with China, it must suddenly approach the coast of China and strike.
Now, China has created a powerful defensive line on the far approaches to its coast, which made impossible a surprise attack by the Americans. This is a major victory that China defeated the United States without firing a shot.

In response, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said:
Our peaceful construction activities on the Nansha (Spratly) Islands, including the deployment of the necessary national defense facilities, are designed to ensure the sovereignty and security of China, as well as the rights that any sovereign state can enjoy.
A Pentagon spokesman said China’s actions contribute to "increased tension and increased mistrust."
