China has won again in the South China Sea game!It turns out that even if the Philippines calls the United States, it will not help!
Due to meteorological problems, 135 Chinese ships took refuge near Oxbow Reef in the South China Sea. The Philippines was dissatisfied with this after noticing this, so it deployed resources and quickly dispatched two patrol boats, forming an embarrassing situation of 135:2.
If you really don't have a boat, don't tune it, and transfer two ships shabbyly, it's so embarrassing that you cut out an acre of land!
Unable to take substantive measures to respond to the proliferation of Chinese vessels, the Philippine has been unable to take substantive measures to defile Chinese vessels, calling them "Chinese maritime militia vessels" and claiming that they have ignored Philippine Coast Guard radio warnings.
The Philippines has also called Chinese fishing boats and other vessels operating in the disputed waters "illegal vessels." In this regard, China's diplomatic spokesman once again reiterated the issue of territorial sovereignty.
Chinese fishing vessels have every right to dock or even operate in their own waters. There is no such thing as a so-called "Chinese maritime militia ship", and any groundless speculation and accusations are meaningless.
In fact, Oxbow Reef and its surrounding waters have long been an important area for Chinese fishing vessels to operate and shelter from the wind. Chinese fishing vessels carry out normal operations and shelter from storms in the territorial waters under the jurisdiction of China, and there is no violation or prohibition in any way.
Instead, it was the Philippines that illegally established a coast guard station on Thitu Island without China's permission, publicly claiming that it would use it to monitor Chinese vessels in the area.
It is expected that the guard station will be officially put into use early next year with radar, satellite communications, cameras and other equipment. Therefore, it is clearly the Philippines that has committed illegal acts in the South China Sea that undermine regional peace and stability.
While Chinese and Philippine vessels were confronting each other in the South China Sea, the US Navy's littoral combat ship USS Giffords illegally intruded into the 12-nautical-mile territorial waters near Ren'ai Jiao in China's Nansha Islands without China's approval.
In view of the existence of a military alliance between the United States and the Philippines, and the fact that the two countries have cooperated on the South China Sea issue many times before, some analysts believe that the US warship's intrusion into China's territorial waters may be a support for the Philippines and an attempt to recover the situation of its oxbow reef being frustrated.
However, such provocative actions by the United States will not have a substantial impact on China, and China still has effective control over the South China Sea.
The spokesman of China's Southern Theater responded to the illegal intrusion of the United States into China's territorial waters, saying that this move has seriously undermined peace and stability in the South China Sea.
The squadron tracked and monitored the US ship throughout the whole process, maintained a high degree of vigilance, and resolutely defended national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The spokesman also said that China has indisputable sovereignty over Nanhai Zhudao and its adjacent waters, and the United States is the biggest threat to peace and stability in the South China Sea.
At a recent regular press conference held by China, the spokesman also made a further response to the Philippine side's remarks. He reiterated that the Philippines should recognize Oxbow Reef and its surrounding waters as a traditional operating area and shelter for Chinese fishing vessels.
The normal activities of Chinese fishing vessels in this area are legal. At the same time, he also criticized Marcos Jr.'s position on the South China Sea issue as obviously irrational, and warned the Philippines not to continue to take actions that damage China-Philippines relations, otherwise it will pay for its wrong actions!
In short, the Philippines has no factual basis for slandering our country, and the United States has taken rash action just by listening to the words of the Philippines, which has exposed the strategic relationship between the two countries
In the future, China will continue to resolutely safeguard its rights and interests in the South China Sea, and any illegal invasion and provocation will be expelled
