Recently, our countryCoast GuardThe bureau issued a circular stating that several Filipino vessels attempted to navigate without permissionSecond Thomas Reef, and tried to deliver supplies to the garrison **. In order to safeguard national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, ICoast GuardControl measures have been taken against it in accordance with the law. In the course of the execution, the Philippine vessel deliberately caused a scraping incident in an attempt to shift the responsibility to our side.

At the same time, the PhilippinesSpokeswoman Teresita Dasa said the Philippines was considering expelling the Chinese ambassador from the country, declaring him "persona non grata" in the Philippines. The news is inInternational** has attracted widespread attention.
It is worth mentioning that after the Philippines proposed to the Chinese side, U.S. spokesman Miller issued a statement criticizing China's behavior in the South China Sea. The statement pointed out that the Chinese vessel used a high-pressure water cannon to forcibly collide with the Philippine vessel, causing damage and endangering the safety of the crew, which was a serious violationInternational Law。The statement said the United States reiterated its solidarity with the Philippines and called on China to stop all dangerous and destabilizing behaviors and complySouth China Sea Arbitrationof the ruling. The announcement further sparked dissatisfaction with China in the PhilippinesPhilippines**Marcos Jr. wrote on social media that China's aggression and provocation against Philippine vessels and personnel have strengthened the Philippines' determination to safeguard its sovereignty and jurisdiction.
After facing the accusations of the Philippines and the United States, our countryA response was made, emphasizing that the Philippine conduct was violatedInternationalprinciples, and cannot justify their actions. MeHe also pointed out that the Philippines' actions violated the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea and seriously violated China's sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. MeHe once again stressed that the South China Sea dispute is an issue between China and the Philippines, and no third party has the right to intervene, and said that China will make peace in accordance with domestic lawsInternational LawNecessary measures should be taken to firmly safeguard territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
The incident also highlights U.S. interference in the South China Sea. AlthoughDisputes in the South China SeaThe solution should be resolved through dialogue and consultation between the parties directly concerned, but the United States has chosen to intervene and openly support the Philippines' position of blaming China. The rhetoric and actions of the United States have undoubtedly intensifiedThe situation in the South China SeaThe tension has intensified regional contradictions. However, this practice of US interference is not new. As early as 2016, when China and the United States faced off in the South China Sea, why did the United States choose to flee?Now that the United States is dealing with complex situations such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, if it continues to stir up the South China Sea issue, I am afraid it will not be able to control the situation. No matter how the United States interferes, China will continue to uphold its principled stand and resolutely safeguard its own interests.
Recently, the Philippines has frequently created incidents in an attempt to provoke China's sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea. Especially rightSecond Thomas ReefThe violation was triggeredInternationalSocietal concerns. Second Thomas ReefAs China's inherent territory, the Philippines' encroachment is a serious violation of China's sovereignty. The Philippines has made it clear that it is rightSecond Thomas ReefLarge-scale reinforcement was carried out in an attempt to achieve the goal of permanent encroachment. In this context, our countryCoast GuardThe sanctions imposed on Philippine vessels by the Bureau are imperative and do not rule out stepping up efforts to safeguard territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
If the Philippines continues to be obsessed, ignore itInternationalSocial containment, continue to provoke our country, the situation may further escalate, and even a misfire may occur. At this point, the Philippines may be counting on U.S. support, but based on past experience, U.S. protection is not reliable. The Philippines must realize that provoking other countries will not lead to good results, but will only lead to more tension and unavoidable consequences.
It can be seen from this incident that the Philippines has violated the South China Sea issueInternational LawIt also goes against the consensus of regional countries. The Philippines has constantly created incidents in an attempt to pursue its own interests by encroaching on China's territory and maritime rights and interests. However, such actions have not only damaged relations between China and the Philippines, but also exacerbated regional tensions. At the same time, U.S. interference complicates the problem. In the face of external interference and provocations, China must adhere to its principled position and safeguard its own rights and interests through diplomatic means, while strengthening the confrontation of forces to ensure its own security and stability.
It is true that there are no shortcuts and no easy answers to the South China Sea issue. However, long-term stability can only be achieved through a peaceful settlement through multilateral dialogue. InternationalSociety should also uphold the principle of fairness and objectivity, and not cause trouble to any party, and not allow one party to gain an inch. Only in this way can peace and prosperity in the South China Sea be achieved and the common interests of all countries be ensured.
Finally, it is hoped that the Philippines will look at the problem rationally, abandon unreasonable claims, and resolve disputes in a peaceful and cooperative manner. Only through dialogue can we find mutually beneficial and win-win solutions and achieve long-term stability and common development in the region. As a responsible major country, China will firmly safeguard national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and uphold the position of peace, justice, cooperation and win-win results to promote regional peace and prosperity.
