Your attention is my motivation, and your support is the direction we are heading. Follow me, you can see my latest article, the Philippines has recently carried out illegal activities in the waters near Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea, and the Chinese coast guard has taken resolute countermeasures against this. According to official information from the China Coast Guard, Philippine Coast Guard vessel 9701 illegally intruded into the waters adjacent to China's Huangyan Island from February 2 to 9 on several occasions, but the Philippine side's violations were effectively stopped by the Chinese Coast Guard's control of shipping routes and forced evictions. This series of cross-border violations shows that the Philippines has significantly intensified its posture of "doing things" in the South China Sea, and the situation in the South China Sea is also facing the possibility of sudden changes.
The Philippine side chose to provoke during the Chinese New Year, trying to gain more benefits by warming up the situation and blaming it on China. However, the Chinese coast guard has always maintained a high level of vigilance and will never allow the Philippine side to cross the "red line". The China Coast Guard adheres to international and domestic laws and upholds national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in waters under China's jurisdiction. In addition, China has escalated its countermeasures against the Philippines, sending a strong warning signal to it.
In addition to strengthening patrol surveillance, the China Coast Guard has also received support from the PLA's Southern Theater of Operations. The PLA's Southern Theater issued a routine cruise on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, indicating that they are always vigilant and resolutely defend national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. With this action, China sent a strong signal to the Philippines to stop undermining peace and stability in the South China Sea.
At the same time, the Philippines and the United States held a third joint patrol operation in the waters of the South China Sea. AFP Commander-in-Chief Brauner said the long-standing joint maritime operations demonstrate a strong partnership between the United States and the Philippines and promote close cooperation between the two militaries. However, the squadron's actions make it clear that they are not only targeting the Philippines, but also the United States, which has provoked and even led the militarization of the South China Sea, as well as other countries interested in gaining an inch on China's sovereignty red line.
China's resolute attitude has deterred the US military. In the second US-Philippine joint patrol operation, the squadron's countermeasures changed the original plan of the US side, and even caused the US aircraft carrier that was originally planned to participate in the joint aviation operation to escape. In the recent third joint patrol operation, the US military also kept a relatively low profile, and did not come forward again to "stand up" for the Philippines and defend its violation of China's territory.
China's assertive posture has served as a deterrent to abuses by the United States and other countries. In fact, the intensifying military cooperation between the Philippines and the United States has alarmed China. China needs to make the United States aware of the consequences of abusive provocations and realize the impact that supporting the Philippines in smearing China will have on U.S.-China relations and stability in the South China Sea.
In summary, China's firm stance on the Scarborough Shoal issue and its cooperation with the PLA's Southern Theater of Operations have made the Philippines and the United States reluctant to act rashly in the South China Sea. China will continue to uphold national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea. At the same time, China also emphasizes cooperation and dialogue with relevant countries, and is committed to resolving disputes through peaceful means to promote the proper settlement of the South China Sea issue. Only through the joint efforts of all parties can we achieve long-term peace and stability in the South China Sea.
