🧵 China’s Art of War – Civilized Warfare with Chinese Characteristics, Part II: The 815A Strikes Again The tragedy unfolding in Ukraine and Russia is a brutal reminder of old-world warfare. Two nations are bleeding each other dry in a grinding, Second World War-style meat grinder, both stuck in a bloody quagmire that pours lives and treasure into kinetic destruction while achieving little except exhaustion. But the forms of war have changed. Last year I wrote that China has already won the war at its doorsteps — not with missiles raining down, but through invisible dominance in the information and electromagnetic domain. That is why the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait have stayed eerily quiet despite all the bluster. There is no need for spectacular kinetic fireworks when you can simply blind and neuter the opponent before they can act. Holland clearly did not read that post, or perhaps they just did not believe it. So the Dutch sent their De Ruyter frigate to test China themselves in the Xisha (Paracel) Islands. That turned out to be a bad idea. Here is what happened on May 27th, according to the Southern Theater Command, and why it proves that the 815A "ghost ships" and China's electromagnetic net are now fully mature. 1. The Three-Step Expulsion: Civilized, Legal, and Devastating China followed a textbook, proportionate process that stayed strictly within international norms. First came voice warnings, which were essentially a good-faith honk signaling "you're drifting into the wrong lane." When those were ignored, China moved to the second step: warning electronic interference, at which point the electromagnetic fog descended. If necessary, the third step would involve physical measures such as flares or warning shots. The Dutch De Ruyter is a modern-looking De Zeven Provinciën-class air defense frigate equipped with phased-array radar and a helicopter. Yet it could not even handle step two. A single dose of precise electromagnetic suppression forced it into a messy retreat. The reason had nothing to do with tonnage or gun caliber. Instead, the frigate's Cold War-era electronics suite was simply overwhelmed by China's modern EW capabilities. 2. The Driving Analogy, Updated for Naval Reality Imagine you are driving and someone drifts into your lane. You honk, but they ignore you. Now imagine that the response to that provocation is to paper over their windshield completely, fry their backup radar, black out their rearview mirrors, spoof their GPS, sever their data links, and hijack their communications. Their high-tech car instantly becomes a blind, deaf, and uncontrollable metal box. The embarked NH90 helicopter was rendered equally useless, and that detail matters more than most people realize. That helicopter serves as the De Ruyter's primary anti-submarine warfare and over-the-horizon targeting asset. By neutralizing it, China did not just blind the frigate's surface awareness — it also erased the ship's ability to detect subsurface threats. A warship that cannot see below the waterline is a sitting duck. This is exactly what happened to the De Ruyter: a multi-thousand-ton warship was reduced to an inert floating shell in China's near seas. This is not face-saving public relations. It is top-tier soft-kill capability, and it represents the true core of modern near-shore defense. 3. Why the Dutch (and NATO) Underestimated the Electromagnetic Net On paper, the De Ruyter looks respectable with its 6,000-plus ton displacement, advanced radar, and vertical launch cells. But the ship is over twenty years old, and its electronic warfare suite was built for a different era characterized by low-intensity, single-platform threats. It was never designed to handle the kind of high-power, digitized, saturation jamming that China now deploys.
