On the other hand, the Philippine side believes that ChinaCoast GuardThe act was too drastic and harmed the PhilippinesFishing boatsand the legitimate rights and interests of the crew.
ChinaCoast GuardIn this enforcement operation, water cannon jets andSonic wavesnon-lethal means such as eviction. These technologies not only effectively control and drive away offending vessels, but also reduce the risk of escalation of conflicts.
Water cannon jetting is ChinaCoast GuardOne of the commonly used management measures. ChinaCoast GuardThe boat is equipped with a high-pressure water cannon system with a range of up to 100 150 meters, rotates 360 degrees, and the crew can operate it remotely from the wheelhouse. After the water cannon is fired, the facilities and buildings on board the vessel can be severely damaged, forcing the vessel to stop the violation and leave the scene.
Sonic wavesThe eviction technique is oneNon-lethal**, by firing high-intensitySonic waves, which can cause interference and discomfort to the target, or even disable it. ChinaCoast GuardRemote orientation is usedSonic wavesEviction device, also known as "".Sonic wavesCannon". Such a device can amplify the noise up to 160 decibels, which is enough to make the target ineffective at a distance of several hundred meters. Sonic wavesEviction technology can be used not only to drive away illegal vessels, but also for long-distance communication, broadcasting, inter-ship shouting, alarms, etc.
In addition to conducting law enforcement operations in the waters off Scarborough Shoal,Chinese NavyAlso thereMischief ReefwithSecond Thomas ReefSignificant sea forces were deployed in the direction. This is to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea and to respond to provocative actions by countries such as the Philippines and the United States.
According to the latest satellites**,Chinese NavyInMischief ReefwithSecond Thomas ReefA large number of ship formations were assembled in the direction. This includes Type 052D missile destroyers, Type 052C missile destroyers, Type 053H3 missile frigates, Type 056A missile frigates, Type 072 tank landing ships, and Type 022 high-speed missile boats, among others.

Chinese NavyThe main reason for the deployment of maritime forces in the South China Sea is a response to the provocative actions of the Philippines and the United States. The Philippines not only sendsCoast Guardand civilian ships interfering with ChinaCoast GuardThe law enforcement action is still thereSecond Thomas Reefand Scarborough Shoal and other places to display itNavyStrength. This behavior is considered self-indulgent. Therefore,Chinese NavyDeploy stronger forces in this direction to prevent problems before they occur.
In modern border and coastal defense conflicts, the ability to respond quickly by force is crucial. In the event of a conflict, the ability to react and strike at the first time determines the development of the situation. If you suffer a loss at the first time, it will be difficult to reverse the situation. Therefore, China's border and coastal defense forces need to have a strong rapid force response capability.
A case in point is the Sino-Indian conflict in the Galwan Valley in 2020. In this conflict, our army defeated the Indian side in one fell swoop using cold weapons. According to the doctrine of modern armed conflict, if a skirmish occurs between two countries without the outbreak of war, it is difficult to escalate into a fierce local war. Therefore, rapid reflexes and strike capabilities can ensure that our side always has the upper hand and emerges victorious in a conflict.

ChinaCoast GuardThe use of water cannon jets andSonic wavesEviction technology is a non-lethal means of controlling and dispersing illegal vessels. Chinese NavyPowerful maritime forces have been deployed in the South China Sea to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea and to respond to provocative actions by countries such as the Philippines and the United States. China's border and coastal defense forces need to have a strong rapid force response capability to deal with border and coastal defense conflicts.
