In response to the question of why the Chinese coast guard ship and the Philippine coast guard ship chose to collide instead of ** when they encountered, the customs issued an announcement on February 11 explaining that from February 2 to February 9, the Philippine coast guard ship 9701 repeatedly violated the waters near our Scarborough Shoal.
As one of the focal points of disputes in the South China Sea, the Philippines has not been as close to the United States as it is to occupy China's islands and related waters, but it has become closer to the United States and seeks to use the power of the United States to change its disadvantages against China, so as to obtain more benefits. Against this backdrop, Philippine media often portray China as an "aggressor" and a "predator" in the South China Sea.
In particular, the Philippines frequently demonstrated and provoked last year, and although most of its actions failed due to the all-out efforts of China's powerful naval and air forces to block them, its active posture has received strong support from the United States.
This time, the Philippines dispatched its largest coast guard ship in the early stage of the Spring Festival in an attempt to create an accident in the South China Sea on the occasion of the festival. In this regard, the Chinese coast guard immediately dispatched four vessels, of which the 3105 ship directly blocked the route of the Philippine vessel, which faced greater risks, because the Philippine coast guard ship of more than 2,000 tons weighed twice as much as the 3105 ship. Although the speed is not high, it may affect the stability of the ship if it directly blocks the way.
That's all for today.
