Recently, the Philippines has relied on the support of foreign powers to jump up and down like a chicken, trespassing into Ren'ai Jiao and Scarborough Shoal without China's consent, and provoking China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea.
Admiral Brauner, chief of the general staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, was dressed in civilian clothes and hid in a supply vessel, evaded the inspection of our coast guard, and boarded the tank landing ship "Sierra Madre," which had been illegally "beached" on our Ren'ai Shoal for 24 years. He changed into a military uniform and took photos with the Philippine Marines on the ship, and shared food with his subordinates on the deck, hyping Ren'ai Jiao in the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
The Philippine Coast Guard has threatened to drive away the "Chinese militia boats" in the waters around Ren'ai Jiao, which are in fact Chinese fishing boats engaged in fishing operations in the South China SeaThe Philippine military even clamored for the expulsion of the Chinese ambassador on the grounds that Ambassador Huang Xilian "disrespected the Philippines and 'bullied' Brawner, chief of staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines."
Philippine Senator Sonny Angara said the Philippines** has decided to allocate funds in the 2024 national budget for the construction of a permanent structure on Second Thomas Shoal. Some Philippine congressmen have even made wild remarks, claiming that they will not hesitate to go to war with China
It means that the Philippines will not only strengthen the grounded and dilapidated tank landing ship at Ren'ai Jiao, but even build a permanent structure at Ren'ai Jiao, turning it into an outpost fortress against China, which is a naked provocation to China.
In the South China Sea, the Philippines has repeatedly caused incidents and continued to commit violations and provocations in the waters of Ren'ai Jiao and Scarborough Shoal in the Nansha Islands, seriously jeopardizing regional peace and stability. It has also continued to spread disinformation, reversing black and white in the international community, exaggerating hype, wantonly smearing China, peddling security anxiety, and inciting confrontation.
On December 20, Director General and Foreign Minister Wang Yi had a phone call with Philippine Foreign Minister Manaro, during which China issued a strong warning to the Philippine side, saying that the Philippines had "misjudged" the maritime situation and insisted on going its own way, and that China-Philippines relations had stood at a crossroads, and the Philippine side must act cautiously.
On December 25, the People's Republic of China issued a commentary signed by Zhong Sheng, angrily criticizing the Philippines for ignoring China's restraint and goodwill and continuing to play with fire in the South China Sea. He pointed out that if the Philippine side misjudges the situation, insists on going its own way, or even colludes with foreign forces with ill intentions to continue to cause chaos, China will resolutely respond.
On December 25, at a regular press conference, I said that spokesperson Mao Ning said that for some time, the Philippines has frequently provoked incidents by using issues such as Ren'ai Jiao and enlisted the intervention of foreign forces, and China has to take necessary measures to resolutely respond.
Mao Ning pointed out that the door to dialogue between China is always open, and we are willing to properly handle maritime issues with the Philippine side through negotiation and consultation.
Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that China-Philippines relations stand at a "crossroads", Zhong Sheng said that "China will resolutely respond according to ***", and spokesperson Mao Nian hoped that "the Philippine side will pull back from the precipice".
All of them show that China has run out of patience for the Philippines' continuous provocation of China's rights and interests in the South China Sea, wanton smearing China, and inciting confrontation and confrontation, and China-Philippines relations are in an extremely grim situation.
In fact, these words that the Chinese side said to the Philippines are already very heavy, and they are almost the same as "don't say it unexpectedly". It is hoped that the Philippines will pull back from the precipice, choose a path of peaceful coexistence with China at a critical crossroads, properly handle the differences between the two countries, and maintain stability and peace in the South China Sea.
Now that China-Philippines relations have reached a critical point, if the Philippines does not stop and continues to provoke at Ren'ai Jiao and Scarborough Shoal, China will be forced to take action and use thunderbolt means to tow away the rusty and broken ship that has been illegally "beaching" our Ren'ai Jiao for 24 years, and "blow sand to fill the island" at Ren'ai Jiao.
At that time, I am afraid that the Philippines will only be able to stare dryly, is it possible that it really wants to roll up its sleeves and fight with China?As far as the Philippine Coast Guard and Navy are concerned, there is no need for frigates from the Southern Theater Navy to go up.
The 76mm naval guns, 30mm machine guns, and 12 mm guns on the ships of our sea jing that carry out maritime law enforcement in the South China SeaA 7mm heavy machine gun and a high-pressure water cannon are enough to get them done, isn't it?
