Beijing (Aryavarth): Amid mounting tensions with the US, China has instructed its service personnel “not to fire the first shot”, as Beijing looks to de-escalate tensions with Washington in the South China Sea, South China Morning Post reported citing sources familiar with the situation.

Relations between the two countries have worsened in recent times with US rejecting China’s claims in South China Sea. The two countries have also sparred over Hong Kong and human rights abuses in Xinjiang.

Last month, two US aircraft carriers — USS Ronald Reagan and USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Force conducted operations in the South China Sea.

The Nimitz and Ronald Reagan strike groups conducted several exercises and operations to strengthen warfighting readiness and proficiency in an all-domain environment. Integrated operations included air defence exercises, tactical manoeuvring drills, simulated long-range maritime strike scenarios, and coordinated air and surface exercises to maintain combat readiness and maritime superiority.

According to South China Morning Post report, despite dismissing the US carrier strike groups as “paper tigers”, sources said the PLA was wary of accidental clashes.

Citing a source close to the military, the report said Beijing had communicated through “various channels” to the US that it had told its military “never to fire first” in a goodwill gesture to keep the situation under control.
