The Coast Guard Patrol released a series of candles and mourning emojis last night. I also hope that the soldiers are okay, but it seems unlikely, considering the severe damage to the Coast Guard ship.

This is a classic event where “David defeated Goliath”.
——I completely agree with this statement. As shown in the picture, the problem is still the lack of determination from the leadership. They only want interest, but they don't want to take any risks, afraid of the diplomatic and political risks brought by the escalation of the situation. So they threw the heavy responsibility onto the frontline personnel.
My attitude has never changed in recent years. 'Enduring' is just an excuse to cover up the timidity and incompetence of the leadership.
Yeah they kept things quiet about Galwan too until things calmed down.
Let’s hope so… But in a collision like this, even if the ships cannot maneuver in time, I have a hard time believing how the personnels at the front fail to see an incoming collision and not run away from the danger…
They tried putting collision barriers down at the last moment…
At the same time, there needs to be a balance regarding taking risks. The nation is trying to present itself as an alternative to US global rule, so we cannot be as gung-ho as the US or we'll be seen as the same side of the coin. The US involved itself in far too many wars and conflicts that diminished its global image and led to too much waste.
I expect future encounters to be dealt with more aggressively. The only thing I don't like I with the outcome is there has been zero official response in a situation where there is the possibility lives could've been lost.
Doesn't modern PLA doctrine emphasize bold actions to seize initiative? Unfortunately, bold actions naturally come with greater risk. Timidity would run counter to a core principle of systems confrontation warfare, wouldn't it? What are the odds of political risk aversion obstructing effective implementation of doctrine?
People who bitch and moan about this keep forgetting about past events—
1) 2008 Tibetan unrest — now quelled.
2) 2011 Xinjiang unrest and terrorism — now quelled. Xinjiang one of the safest places in.
3) 2019 Hongkong unrest — now quelled. Even former cucks shop in Shenzhen now.
4) 2022 Pelosi Visit — allowed three branches of PLA to salami slice like there is no tomorrow. Diminished ROC readiness and equipment lifespan while improving coordination within Chinese Air Force and Navy.
I feel that in the social media age people want instant gratification and don’t have patience for anything.

What I hate even more is that every time they have to wait until things get to a serious point before thinking about correcting them. Image has no value in this world, and Israel never has to worry about their image.
China doesn’t own the global propaganda apparatus. And even MSM can’t save their reputation from being salvaged.
