The confrontation between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea has reignited the flames, and Ren'ai Jiao has become the eye of the storm.
The storm is rising again, and the South China Sea is turbulent!The Philippines, a country that has repeatedly challenged China's bottom line, has once again set off stormy waves in the South China Sea. At the behest of Marcos**, Philippine vessels openly forced their way into Second Thomas Shoal in an attempt to disturb peace and stability in the South China Sea in such a blatant manner.
Not long ago, there was a harrowing collision in the South China Sea. A fishing vessel in the Philippines collided with a foreign oil tanker in bad weather, killing three crew members and injuring eleven crew members. This could have been a tragic, but the Philippines chose to politicize it and shift the blame to others in an attempt to use the incident to hype up the South China Sea issue.
In the face of the Philippines' provocations, China has always remained calm and restrained. We have repeatedly warned the Philippine side through diplomatic channels, urging it to stop this dangerous act. However, Marcos** turned a deaf ear and continued to go his own way, turning his gaze from Scarborough Shoal to Ren'ai Jiao. They dispatched two coast guard ships and two supply vessels to forcibly intrude into the waters near Ren'ai Jiao without the consent of the Chinese side in an attempt to cause a bigger incident.
Ren'ai Jiao, a sacred territory belonging to China, has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times. The Philippine side's actions are undoubtedly a serious provocation to China's sovereignty. They thought they could use the support of the United States to argue with China on the South China Sea issue, but they forgot the firm determination of the Chinese people to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
In the face of the arrogance of the Philippines, China has decided not to tolerate it anymoreThe China Coast Guard responded quickly, issued a stern warning to the Philippine vessel, and followed and monitored it throughout the process. We will not allow the Philippine conspiracy to succeed, let alone let any country spread wild on China's doorstep!
Philippines, you should be soberly aware that the South China Sea is not your playground, let alone a place where you can act recklessly. The Chinese people have a strong will and firm determination to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Any act that provokes China's bottom line will pay a heavy price!
The Philippines' provocative behavior is not only a challenge to China, but also a blatant defiance of international law and regional peace and stability. They thought that with a few coast guard ships and supply ships, they could set off waves in the South China Sea and challenge China's bottom line. However, they were wrong, and they couldn't have been more wrong!
China, as a responsible major country, has always been committed to maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea. We respect the freedom of navigation and overflight enjoyed by all countries in accordance with international law, but this does not mean that we can tolerate any country's wanton behavior on China's territory. As China's inherent territory, Ren'ai Jiao's sovereignty, rights and interests brook no violation, and any attempt to change this status quo is futile.
The Philippine side should understand that China's sovereignty and territorial integrity are indivisible. We will never sit idly by while any country infringes on our core interests. The China Coast Guard's stern warnings and follow-up surveillance are a powerful response to the Philippines' provocative actions. We're going to let the Philippines know,Any attempt to challenge China's bottom line will come at a heavy price!
In addition, we would like to warn those countries that attempt to stir up trouble in the South China Sea not to underestimate the determination and will of the Chinese people to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. China's development will not stagnate, and China's rise is unstoppable. Any attempt to curb China's development and undermine regional peace and stability will be futile.
Finally, we call on all coastal countries in the South China Sea to jointly maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea, resolve disputes through dialogue and consultation, and jointly promote the South China Sea into a sea of peace, friendship and cooperation. Let us work together to contribute wisdom and strength to the prosperity and development of the region!
