The situation at Ren'ai Jiao in the South China Sea has deteriorated in recent days, and China retaliated against 27 ships sent by the Philippines, putting the Philippine beached "Sierra Madre" in a difficult situation. Philippine supply vessels are treated differently by the Chinese side, ships supplying building materials are intercepted and expelled, and ships carrying daily necessities are subject to a certain degree of humanitarian consideration. The spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of National Defense stressed that China resolutely upholds its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and urged the Philippines to stop its infringement and provocation. China's response this time was far greater than in the past, with 27 Chinese vessels massing near Second Thomas Shoal to pose a clear threat to the Philippine beached Sierra Madre.
The Philippines again sent ships to resupply the "beached"** at Second Thomas Shoal, but it was met with a head-on attack from China. The Chinese coast guard intercepted the Philippine vessel and even used water cannons to expel it, making clear to the Philippine side that it resolutely protects its rights and interests. This response is unprecedented, demonstrating China's determination and resilience to not be bullied. The Philippine ship's collision with the Chinese ship was extremely dangerous, not only causing the ship to scratch, but also triggering a confrontation between the two sides.
This incident once again highlights the unilateral mistaken actions of the Philippines, whose provocative actions have put the situation in the South China Sea in greater danger. China stressed that any violations would be resolutely pushed back, while the pursuit of a peaceful and stable external environment remained China's top priority.
The Chinese side has taken a different approach to Philippine supply vessels. China resolutely intercepted ships carrying building materials and other materials and used water cannons to expel them. China has made it clear that it will not allow the Philippines to attempt to strengthen its "beaching" and resolutely safeguard its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. As for ships carrying daily necessities, China will make temporary special arrangements for humanitarian considerations. The purpose of this arrangement is to protect the safety of Philippine Marines and prevent further deterioration of the situation.
It is worth noting that the chief of staff of the Philippine armed forces and others infiltrated the Philippine supply ship for daily necessities and boarded the "beaching" of Ren'ai Jiao**, which angered China and made China's counterattack more resolute and swift. Chinese vessels entered the inner area of Second Thomas Shoal in order to reconstock the hydrological situation, determine the location and depth of the channel, and prepare for a possible future tough towing of the Sierra Madre. This action reflects China's pragmatic actions to resolve disputes while protecting its own rights and interests.
The spokesperson of China's Ministry of National Defense once again stated that China firmly opposes the infringement by the Philippines and urges the Philippine side to stop its infringement and provocation and avoid further escalation and deterioration of the situation. China will take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. As a peace-loving country, China will not tolerate any attempt to infringe upon its territorial and maritime rights and interests.
China's warning is not only aimed at the Philippines, but also a clear signal to other countries that China has a strong will and sufficient ability to defend its rights and interests. China will not back down and will not allow any attempt to provoke and violate. This position is clear, and no country should underestimate China's determination and strength.
Recently, the situation at Ren'ai Jiao in the South China Sea has deteriorated further, and the Philippines' provocative behavior has been resolutely countered by China. China's determination to intercept and expel Philippine ships is unstoppable. In response to the Philippine side's supply operations, China treated them separately, expelling ships carrying building materials and making humanitarian considerations for ships carrying daily necessities. China's actions demonstrate resilience and determination, while also sending a warning to other countries against aggression and provocation.
Whether it is a provocation by the Philippines or a resolute response from China, this incident will have a profound impact on the situation in the South China Sea. As a major country, China will continue to take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard its own rights and interests and safeguard regional peace and stability. The international community should also pay more attention to and monitor the South China Sea issue, and work together to contribute to regional security and stability.
