Main ships gathered during the Vietnam-Jin military exercise. The Vietnamese Navy launched a live-fire exercise at sea in coastal areas on the morning of the 13th, warning ships not to approach. The sovereignty dispute between China and Vietnam has heated up rapidly, and air battles in the South China Sea have become increasingly cloudy. There are reports that a large number of warships and submarines are gathering in China's Hainan Province, and the whereabouts of 11 Chinese warships undergoing exercises in the Western Pacific are also attracting attention. To prevent conflicts between China, Vietnam and the Philippines in the South China Sea, the United States sent an additional nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the USS George Washington, to the Western Pacific near the South China Sea for deployment on the 12th. Large-scale anti-China demonstrations broke out in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, and Ho Chi Minh City for two consecutive Sundays. Hundreds of Vietnamese youths marched to the Chinese Embassy in Hanoi on the 12th to protest against the frequent activities of Chinese ships in the South China Sea and their "infringement of Vietnam's territorial waters", as well as the recent cutting of cables of Vietnamese oil exploration ships by Chinese fishing boats. The demonstrators claimed that they would defend Vietnam's sovereignty at all costs. Vietnam conducted a variety of artillery and weapons exercises on Hon Ong Island, 40 kilometers away from the central Quang Nam Province, from 9 am to 1 pm on the 13th, Beijing time, and from 8 pm to 1 am the next morning. The Vietnamese authorities also stated that this was just a routine exercise and no missiles would be launched. Vietnam's Ministry of Foreign Affairs refused to confirm the size of the ships participating in the exercise and the number of officers and soldiers, and warned the ships not to enter the relevant exercise range, emphasizing that the exercise took place in the country's exclusive economic zone. The exercise area is 250 kilometers away from the Paracel Islands, which has sovereignty disputes with China. The United States is very concerned about the tense situation in the South China Sea. Japan's Kyodo News Agency pointed out that the USS George Washington, the main aircraft carrier of the US Seventh Fleet, suddenly left the Yokosuka base in Japan on the morning of the 12th and set off to the Western Pacific for alert and patrol missions for several months. Previously, the USS Chung-Hoon, a US destroyer, has been deployed in the Sulu Sea on the edge of the South China Sea. It will conduct a joint military exercise with the US military in the western waters of the Philippines on the 28th of this month, preparing to participate in the US-Philippines joint military exercises. Ochoa, secretary-general of the Philippine Presidential Office, said that if the situation in the South China Sea worsens, the Philippines can obtain assistance from the United States based on the "Mutual Defense Treaty" signed with the United States. Hong Kong's "Oriental Daily News" reported that in the face of turmoil in the South China Sea, the Chinese military has frequently mobilized its military in recent days. Online news indicates that 20 main warships have gathered on Hainan Island, reportedly including non-South China Sea Fleet ships. The "China.com" military channel also published pictures from netizens on the 12th, saying that multiple advanced submarines were photographed at the Sanya Naval Port in Hainan. It is unclear whether they were specially deployed in response to the situation in the South China Sea. The official People's Liberation Army Daily reported in a high-profile manner that more than 10 armed helicopters from the Army Aviation Regiment of the Guangzhou Military Region of the People's Liberation Army have been conducting attack drills on maritime targets in the waters of western Guangdong in recent days. In addition, the Chinese Ministry of National Defense confirmed that it has dispatched multiple warships to the international waters of the Western Pacific for routine training, but not for specific targets. According to reports, the fleet, which includes 11 warships and one submarine, recently passed through the waters near Miyako Island in Okinawa Prefecture from the East China Sea. They include a number of "modern-class" guided missile destroyers known as "aircraft carrier killers" and can carry anti-ship missiles. As the US aircraft carrier is heading to the Western Pacific, the movements of the People's Liberation Army fleet have attracted much attention.
