The Philippines' recent moves have become increasingly frenzied, showing its presence in the South China SeaArmedProvocations are becoming more frequent and excessive. According to meCoast GuardAccording to the flash released, the Philippine side carried out three consecutive provocative actions in just 24 hours.

These actions have shown the PhilippinesArmedAn increase in the scale and frequency of provocations. The Philippines has also publicly stated that it will organize a huge fleet for "Christmas resupply". These moves have forced us to be on high alert for the actions of the Philippines.
According to meCoast GuardAccording to the release, the Philippines attempted to break through again on the morning of December 10Second Thomas Reefand crashed into me in an unprofessional and dangerous wayCoast GuardBoats, causing the ships to scrape. The Philippines has carried out blatant provocations and attacks in this regard, and it is entirely the responsibility of the Philippine side. Such an act makes us very indignant. The Philippines is becoming more and more emboldened to make such provocative moves against us in the South China Sea. This raises greater concerns about the Philippines' intentions in the South China Sea.
There must be some purpose behind such a bold move by the Philippines. First, the Philippines wants to illegally acquire it in the South China SeaMarine resources。The vicinity of Scarborough Shoal is rich in metal resources, including manganese, copper, cobalt, nickel, etc. In addition, there are significant oil and gas resources in the region. The Philippine economy is relatively weak, and the thirst for these resources is understandable. Second, the Philippines' actions are also aimed at currying favor with the United States and cooperating with its so-called "Asia-Pacific strategy." In carrying out provocative actions in the South China Sea, the Philippines has received support and assistance from the United States. The United States wants the Philippines to be its "pawn" in the western Pacific and South China Seas, and the two countries have agreed. Therefore, it is also possible that the Philippines' constant provocations are aimed at strengthening ties with the United States. In summary, the Philippine operation is only one part of its larger conspiracy, and we should be vigilant and keep a close eye on the larger actions that the Philippines may be planning.
MeCoast GuardAs well as my mighty oneNavyThe military is our solid backing on the South China Sea issue.
