Reviews & Ratings for the Hnlms-De-Ruyter

In a recent incident, the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Southern Theater Command accused the Dutch frigate 'De Ruyter-F 804' of unlawfully entering the territorial waters surrounding the Xisha Islands on May 27, 2026. Reports indicate that the frigate not only infiltrated China’s maritime boundaries but also deployed its shipborne helicopter multiple times, encroaching upon Chinese airspace. In response, China's navy and air force undertook necessary actions, including verbal warnings and electronic interference, to expel the foreign vessel, aligning with established laws and regulations. The Chinese government emphasized that such actions by the Netherlands represent a serious violation of China's territorial sovereignty, maritime, and aerial security, breaching international law and the foundational principles of international relations. Furthermore, this incident raises concerns about potential misunderstandings and escalations that could jeopardize peace and stability in the South China Sea.
