A new situation has occurred on Second Thomas Reef! Four Chinese ships "surrounded" Ren'ai Jiao, and one ship was at 1Approaching the Filipino fleet from 5 kilometers away, what is this going to do? We have to step up our efforts to get the Philippines to evacuate on its own, and if something happens, we can fill it in, and then everything will be solved.
Let's take a look at what happened this time, and what we want to say is that Ren'ai Jiao is really important to China, and no matter what, this island is very important. Yes, the Philippines has been "probing" Ren'ai Jiao in the South China Sea, especially at the behest of the United States and Japan. Naturally, we will not give the Philippines any opportunity, our regular supplies are in operation, but in terms of transporting building materials, we are strongly opposed.
Therefore, if the Filipinos dare to cross this line of China, then they will definitely not be allowed to leave with "private goods". So, what is the importance of this reef? Ren'ai Jiao is the most important area in the South China Sea, located 14 nautical miles southeast of Meiji Reef in the Nansha Islands, and is an island 15 kilometers long from north to south and 56.6 kilometers wide from east to west. As such, it is both a major fishing ground in our South China Sea and a major shelter for fishermen. According to published information, the ** reserves in the Reed Bank area of the South China Sea are about 6 billion barrels, while the natural gas reserves are about 55.6 billion, so this location is good.
Because of this, the Philippines has made a move on Ren'ai Jiao and Scarborough Shoal in an attempt to snatch more resources from China, but in any case, nothing has changed, and China's control over Scarborough Shoal and Ren'ai Jiao has become more and more intense, such as 2On the 22nd, the Chinese navy had driven the Philippine fishing boat No. 3002 out of the Philippines near Scarborough Shoal. It can be seen that China has become more assertive in maintaining stability in the South China Sea.
And this timing is really too coincidental, it just so happens that the Philippine ship broke into our Scarborough Shoal, and we also did more things on Ren'ai Jiao, which may be to control the Philippine ship from entering Scarborough Shoal and not let them be here**. Four Chinese ships "surrounded" Ren'ai Jiao, and one was only 1 billion miles away from it5 km, judging by the satellite images released, it is true, our ships patrol near Second Thomas Reef and know every corner of the reef inside out, two ** are in the north and east, and one is in the west.
The Chinese Coast Guard's CCG 5201 (most likely) is only about 2 km from the Indian Coast Guard, Sierra Madre, and the other is at 15 km or so. The reason why they approached the ruined warship of the Philippines was to prevent the Filipinos from doing something here, and it was impossible for them to invade. Therefore, the "encirclement" of Ren'ai Jiao is obvious, which shows that China's control over this place is very strong, even in 99, an old Philippine 57 tank landing ship, under the pretext of "leaking at the bottom and being forced to sit on the reef flat in the northwest corner of Ren'ai Jiao", sailed to Ren'ai Jiao.
China's Aijiao Island belongs to China, and even with the help of those "allies" of the Philippines, it is of no use at all. In addition, as China becomes more active in the South China Sea, its strategy for Ren'ai Jiao is certainly obvious, but for its own part, it is obviously not feasible to use tugboats to truly transform Ren'ai Jiao. There may be only one way to love the reef, whether it is in terms of area or the situation of the island, it should be filled with sand.
Philippine boats can be alleviated by towing, but even if they can't be hauled away, they can be filled with sand into the ocean, the point reef on the north side of Ren'ai Jiao Island is not developed, about 20 meters deep, 23 meters in the middle, the sea water in the south is very shallow, about 10 meters, there are not too many reefs on the island, there are 30 km square, and the development index of the coral reef is 071. In this area, in terms of the depth of the water, it is very convenient to carry out sand blowing and reclamation. Moreover, this process will not last long. There is no need to fill up all the islands, it only needs to be built within a certain range, we just need to observe the movements of the Philippine fleet here, which is undoubtedly a huge threat to the Philippines.
They're right under our noses, it's useless for you to do anything, we don't need our ships to patrol back and forth to explore our surroundings. Therefore, the best thing to do is to fill the island, whether it can fill it up or not, as long as it can be stationed here, everything is fine. Even if the Filipinos jumped high, they wouldn't see the Chinese troops here, so they had to force their way over? Kill two birds with one stone.
However, this is just a speculation, and the country's plan for this sea area should have been done, but there is no detailed description. However, the status quo of the Philippines will not change because of the Philippines, not to mention that this island and reef already belong to China, and the Philippines cannot change it, and if there is a conflict with China, it will only suffer in the end.
This is also the reason why the Filipinos invaded the Chinese Love Reef Island, and whenever the Chinese navy appeared, the Filipinos would return in vain, and the only thing they could do was to look for opportunities here to supply their islands. Therefore, the right path is okay, but China will never allow it.
