Recently, the Philippines has attempted to invade Scarborough Shoal on several occasions, assisted by fishermen and fishing vessels, in addition to its cruisers. In fact, even those ships were disguised by Philippine marines. Their role is to spy on our ships, the equivalent of Philippine spies. Since mid-February, shipments have arrived to Philippine Coast Guard vessels 9701 and 3005 and 3002. Working day and night with fishing boats, they broke into the waters of Scarborough Shoal several times. They also released the floatboat, hoping to create chaos so that they could take advantage of the chaos to break through. In response to the Philippines' tough attitude, the Chinese side reacted accordingly, not only sending cruiser fishing boats to intercept it, but also sending ** escorts.

When a number of Philippine ships tried to find loopholes to break through, China sent the Air Force's Z-9C helicopters to identify and verify them. The Philippine side also sent Cessna fighter jets to monitor us. What surprised the Philippines even more was that China also sent a 7,000-ton Chinese "Aegis" warship 052D175 to surround the Philippines from behind. In contrast, the most powerful ** in the Philippines in Palawan is equipped with only one 76 mm caliber naval gun, as well as a 25 mm caliber gun, as well as several machine guns, and does not even dare to show their faces.
China sent an armed ***
The strength of patrols in the Philippine Sea is far inferior to that of China, and the strength of the two sides is even more different. 052 d, as our main combat ship, is equipped with a wide range of types of **, from artillery to missiles. There is no doubt that this single ship alone will be enough to challenge the entire fleet of the Philippines. Even in terms of artillery, the 052 D is equipped with a 130 mm caliber cannon and a 30 mm cannon, which is obviously more powerful than the battleships of the mainland Philippines. Against an enemy like the Philippines, the "Chinese Aegis" alone is enough to sweep one side.

A few days ago, the Chinese coast guard announced that it had expelled fishing boats from the Philippines that illegally invaded Scarborough Shoal for two days. In addition to this, the American company Marsal Technologies also noted that China has once again built a floating barrier at the entrance to Scarborough Shoal, and the Philippines has also confirmed this claim. China's foreign minister said that Scarborough Shoal belongs to China, and that the Philippines has recently made many provocations against China's sovereignty in the waters near the island, and we must respond accordingly in order to firmly defend its territorial and maritime rights.
In fact, the Philippines unilaterally lifted China's separation wall at Scarborough Shoal in September. At that time, the Philippines also condemned the barriers built by China to prevent Filipino fishermen from entering the waters. Scarborough Shoal was originally Chinese territory, so why did Filipino fishing boats come here to fish? And judging by the past of the Philippines, it is likely that they will take Scarborough Shoal in a way that is similar to the shameless way they occupied Thitu Island and Renai Island. If China were to carry out the expulsion in order to defend its own rights and interests, it would likely anger the Philippines as well as the United States.

From the recent news, it can be seen that the Philippine strategy in the South China Sea has changed, no longer relying on maritime patrol forces to "go head-to-head" with Chinese patrol forces, but using "asymmetric strikes" to confront the Chinese Navy. In addition to this, the Philippines is also trying to persuade its neighbors to come together against China, as is Vietnam. If the Philippines continues to do so, then China will have to strike back even harsher. For example, the bomb-and-fill battle at Scarborough Shoal, the deployment of rockets and military aircraft on the island. It is just over 300 kilometers away from Manila in the Philippines, and they can use missiles against them. Perhaps, this is the only way to keep the Philippines from messing around in the South China Sea. Not too close to the Philippines, a new "unsinkable aircraft carrier" will appear.
