The Philippines has recently launched a series of provocative actions against China in the South China Sea, the most notable of which is the deliberate collision of a Philippine ship with China on November 9Coast GuardShip events. The Philippine side claimed that they sent official vessels to the shallow waters of Scarborough Shoal to provide relief supplies to fishermen, but the Chinese side set up a floating barrier in the waters near Scarborough Shoal and patrolled by speedboat to intercept the Philippine boats. The Philippine side expressed dissatisfaction with this and slammed China's actions as "illegal and inhumane". However, the fact is that Scarborough Shoal has always been China's inherent territory, and in the early days, China allowed Filipino fishermen to enter the island and reef to fish for the sake of friendship and cooperation, which is already China's tolerance. By choosing to distribute supplies in the waters near Scarborough Shoal, the Philippine side actually wants to expand its de facto control over the area in an attempt to achieve the goal of "de facto occupation." And ChinaCoast GuardThey resolutely took measures, using water cannons to suppress the Philippine ships, and even carried out double flanking attacks, so that the Philippine ships did not dare to approach. This time, ChinaCoast GuardIt not only controls Philippine fishing vessels, but also strongly controls Philippine official vesselsCoast GuardThe ship, in order to safeguard China's territorial integrity, sent a strong warning signal to the Philippine side.
ChinaCoast GuardWater cannons were effectively used to drive away Philippine ships. In the image, two water jets can be seen launched directly towards the Philippine official ship, which is an impressive sight. China's water cannons are very powerful, and once the attack continues, the Philippine government ship of several hundred tons is likely to sink in less than five minutes. However, ChinaCoast GuardIn the end, a short warning shot was taken, which conveyed a strong determination to the Philippine side. It also reflects China's restraint and humanity, and its unwillingness to allow the situation to escalate to extremes. Despite this, the radar and communications equipment on the Philippine official ship has been largely destroyed, which is also the result of their risky collision. China's response has once again shown the world that China is ChinaCoast GuardThe majesty and determination also sent a clear signal to the Philippines that any offense to Chinese territory would be met with a harsh response.
The Philippine side erroneously believes that with the support of the United States, it can frequently stir up trouble in the South China Sea, and seek benefits from both sides. However, they clearly ignore the changing times and the development of the situation. At the moment, the United States isMud BodhisattvaCrossing the river, it is difficult to protect itself. The Russia-Ukraine war has nearly brought down the United States and its allies, and the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has forced the United States to lower its posture at the San Francisco meeting and plead with China to show mercy. The provocative actions of the Philippines will only put them in an even more embarrassing position. The Philippine side is trying to take advantage of such despicable small actions, and even hopes that China will appropriately "break the bank and eliminate disasters", such as providing the Philippines with ** relief materials and funds. However, they underestimate China's wisdom and firmness, and such actions will only lead them to nothing. China has not only restricted the activities of Philippine fishing vessels, but also severely restricted Philippine official vesselsCoast GuardBy resolutely protecting the security of the South China Sea, the ship has sent a clear message to the Philippines: for a country like the Philippines, no matter how much benevolence and morality we give, it will not help, and they only know the language of fists.
The Philippines' provocative actions have once again exposed their hypocrisy and arrogance in the South China Sea. They are trying to seize the interests of the South China Sea through despicable means, but they ignore China's sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. ChinaCoast GuardThrough decisive actions, China has demonstrated its firm determination to maintain security in the South China Sea. China will not be swayed by the small actions of the Philippines, and any encroachment on China's territory and interests will be responded to harshly. The Philippines should be soberly aware that the South China Sea is not an arena for them to manipulate, and that only by abiding by international law and rules, mutual respect and peaceful settlement of disputes, can a win-win situation and cooperation be achieved.
