China's Plan to Attack 5 Nations at Once? Using Its Junk Aircraft Carriers? Biggest Joke on Earth

In the strategic vortex of power, a silent struggle unfolds in the South China Sea on November 25, 2023. The Southern Theater Command of China claims that the U.S. Navy's Hopper-class destroyer sailed quietly near the Paracel Islands, prompting tracking, warnings, and expulsion from China, though the U.S. has not publicly responded. According to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, these waters belong to Vietnam's exclusive economic zone. Therefore, these are international waters unrelated to the Chinese Communist Party, yet, China currently occupies them.
On the same day, joint sea and air patrols by Australia and the Philippines in the South China Sea, along with similar U.S.-Philippines operations, signaled a clear message: the U.S. and its allies are intensifying surveillance of Chinese military activities in the region, with an expanding scope.

China can't even get a decent apartment building constructed anymore, so what makes anyone think that their naval ships are any better? Sadly for them, it's all "tofu dreg" these days, from top to bottom.

When I was in the 7th Fleet, USN, we were constantly having to chase China out of the territorial waters of other countries; where they didn't belong. I know quite a bit about their assets, capabilities, and locations....

If anyone is interested:


*PLN North [HQ Qingdao]*
1 Aircraft Carrier, 18 Subs, 1 Cruiser, 9 Destroyers, 12 Frigates, 10 Corvettes, 2 Tank Landing Ships, 5 Medium Landing Ships, 18 Missile Patrol Craft


*PLN East [HQ Ningbo]*
18 Subs, 12 Destroyers, 23 Frigates, 19 Corvettes, 2 Amphibs, 16 Tank Landing Ships, 7 Medium Landing Ships, and 46 Missile Patrol Craft


*PLN South [HQ Zhanjiang]*
1 Carrier, 20 Subs, 11 Destroyers, 18 Frigates, 20 Corvettes, 4 Amphibs, 13 Tank Landing Ships, 9 Medium Landing Ships, and 22 Missile Patrol Craft

Their Navy isn't as aircraft focused as ours. The reason being that PLAAF pilots have a hard time with simply just staying in the air. So they've designed a very lightweight fleet based on Aerial denial, and a meat grinder island hopping strategy.

The southern fleet is designed for the Philippines. The eastern fleet is the primary defense and its main purpose is Taiwan. The northern fleet is their weakest, because they believe that Russia will help them.

China simply doesn't have the combat experience. You can train day and night. But experience is what counts. China will fall apart under combat pressure.

China cannot afford a war due to a loss in trade. The first 5 combatants include their top four trading partners (US, S. Korea, Japan, Taiwan) and the Philippines is 19. US allies Australia, UK, and Canada are numbers 8, 17, and 18, and NATO allies Germany, the Netherlands, France, and Italy are 7, 15, 20 and 21. The Philippines ASEAN allies include Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore numbers 6, 9, 12, 14, and 16. Hong Kong (5) will also have its trade largely blocked. That leaves Russia (10), Brazil (11), India (13) from their top 21 trade partners from 2022 and India could side with the anti-China alliance. And Saudi Arabia (22) could participate in the oil embargo while Russian sea deliveries of oil are blockaded.

China would run very low on oil and food in a few months even if half those countries aren't too serious about trade sanctions.

CCP: We're the dominant navy of the sea.

Everyone else: Pfft, sit your dumb self down!

7:39 "The geographical proximity of the Korean Peninsula to Mainland China means that any military conflict there could potentially involve China. The CCP is cautious about initiating conflict in this area. "

Very intuitive!

I am a South Korean. Not many people realize how short the strategic distance is between South Korea’s Western coast and the heart of the CCP (the Bohai Bay area). Beijing 900 km, Tianjin 750 km, Dairen 500 km, Qingdao 600 km.

China (and Russia under the baptism by China) provided the technology and parts for nuclear bombs and missiles to North Korea ( a vassal or a puppet of China). China did this for three purposes.

1) Perpetuate the North Korean regime with the smallest cost for strategic depth.
2) Drag South Korea into the influence sphere of China by deploying two-pronged coercion: first, “the West is waning and the East is rising. Do not bet against China”, second “only China can protect you from North Korea’s nukes”.
3) Pin down all or some of the US forces stationed in Korea and Japan in the contingency of a large-scale military action against Taiwan or in the South East China Sea.

Really stupid reasoning by the CCP/PLA.

Now South Korea is arming itself to the teeth with fatal weapons, many of which have been developed and produced indigenously. South Korea may become the fourth largest arms exporter within 5 years and the second largest within 15 years. South Korea is selling arms to North/Eastern Europe (the choke point against Russia/China) and to Saudi/UAE (the choke point against Iran, which plays the role of leverage for China), and to the Philippines, Vietnam and Malaysia (the countries around the South China Sea).

China needs a long overdue lesson in humility.

[GingerHitman]

The USS Hopper is not a Hopper Class destroyer. It is an Arleigh Burke class.

[WinterroSP]

China is so nice!

Delivering free scrap metal to 5 states, how generous of them!

[maxyl]

china can;t even provide fire extinguisher for their burning ships

[freeman]

We have to be crystal clear here. Those of us that live in Liberal Democracies have to be vigilant. The Governments of countries such as China. Russia, Iran, North Korea etc... hate what we are! They hate our freedom of expression, our affluence and of course our democracy.

We have to treat the threat from these malignant regiemes seriously. No matter if you identify with being a consevative, progessive, green or libertarian the enemy is NOT our fellow countrymen but it is those countries that want to crush our precious democracy and replace rule of law by rule of man.

Something that this channel rarely discusses is Japanese naval capability. The Japanese have quietly built up their military since Abe was PM and they now have one of the most capable navies in the world. They're going to hang tight with the US as long as they feel threatened by China. If the CCP was smart, they would try to divide the American alliance with diplomacy instead of bullying and making enemies with everyone. They made some headway when Duterte was President of the Philippines but they blew it by poaching on Philippine fishing grounds.

China: me china, me big and strong, own everybody
(Substandard chinese ship sinks)
US and allies: your boat's a rubber ducky 😂

[brunoonoahu]

It was THE USS Hopper, not a Hopper class destroyer. It was an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer.

[michaeldobson]

Interesting side note: If things heat up along the 38th Parallel and the SK army floods across the border, missiles or no missiles, it will be all over for the NK army.

[MrRaghuramC]

Looks like China might surprise attack India again. Since South China Sea is so well guarded by different navies. India is the only region not included in any security umbrella of the US, this gives the opportunity for China.

[EduardQualls]

*First thing to do is to stop calling it "The South China Sea" and use a name more correct and less propagandizable by the CCP: **_The East Vietnam Sea_** or **_The West Philippine Sea._*

[killbot]

Never heard of the “Hopper” Class destroyer before……

[supertouring]

The west should do joint resupply/training with the Filipino navy whenever they want to resupply their scarnorough shoals.

[stoundingresults]

There was a chinese ship detained in Mexico. Forgot the name of it but it was being held for breaking sea laws.
