THIS MORNING: China Challenged the US Navy in the South China Sea—And Learned a Brutal Lesson ..FullvideoBelow

On June 14th, 2025, the USS Princeton, a key vessel in the US Navy, patrolled the South China Sea when it detected a Chinese Type 052D destroyer, Jon Chong, at a distance of roughly 200 kilometers. The situation quickly escalated as the Chinese ship increased its speed, signaling a potential confrontation.

The Chinese destroyer’s captain had reportedly received orders from Beijing to intercept the Americans and force them to back down. However, the USS Princeton was well-prepared, equipped with advanced radar systems and armed with 122 vertical launch cells capable of engaging multiple threats simultaneously.

As the Jon Chong closed in, the threat of its YJ-18 anti-ship missiles became imminent. Nevertheless, the Princeton’s SM-6 missiles were capable of neutralizing these threats before they could reach the American vessel, creating a tense standoff described as a “deadly dance” in the open waters of the South China Sea.

The incident underscored the risks of military posturing in contested waters and highlighted the superior readiness and firepower of US Navy vessels when faced with aggressive maneuvers. Experts suggest that Beijing’s attempt to challenge the US in these waters served as a cautionary example of the potential consequences of misjudging American naval capabilities.
