The U.S. Navy destroyers went to the South China Sea to challenge China’s sovereignty, and the People’s Liberation Army was dispatched to respond. Satellite photos show that the People’s Liberation Army frigate is chasing the US destroyer in the eastern waters of the South China Sea, and the distance between the two ships is only about 300 meters.
The South China Sea Strategic Situational Awareness Program released satellite photos taken on Tuesday (22nd). It can be seen that a surface vessel believed to be the People’s Liberation Army Type 054A frigate is tracking and monitoring the suspected USS McCain guided-missile destroyer. The coordinates of the photo belong to the waters in the eastern part of the South China Sea close to the Philippines, far away from the Nansha Islands.
According to the South China Sea Strategic Situational Awareness Plan, satellite photos show that before the US ship enters the waters of the Nansha Islands, the People’s Liberation Army has initiated corresponding measures, and the US military’s action should be under full surveillance. US Fox News also reported that the US destroyers were inseparable from the Chinese troops.

The People’s Liberation Army rarely responds immediately and strongly
The McCain once again performed Operation “Freedom of Navigation” in the South China Sea on Tuesday. The spokesperson of the PLA Southern Theater Command and Air Force Colonel Tian Junli stated that the McCain ship rushed into the waters adjacent to the Nansha Islands without the permission of the Chinese government. The PLA’s southern theater organized naval and air forces to warn him to leave.
The USS John S. McCain (DDG-56) is already a “frequent visitor” in the South China Sea. The ship traveled to the Paracel Islands on October 9. The Chinese accused him of breaking into China’s territorial waters and the People’s Liberation Army’s naval and air forces drove them away.
The McCain collided with a 30,000-ton oil tanker off Singapore in 2017, killing 10 soldiers on board. The ship will need to be repaired in Japan for two years and will be deployed in the middle of this year.
