On March 5, the Philippines again launched a forcible operation on Second Thomas Shoal.
The Philippine Coast Guard dispatched two 44-meter-long coast guard vessels, the Kabula and the Sindangan, in an attempt to cover the May 1 and May 4 transport vessels to break through the interception line and break into Ren'ai Jiao to provide illegal building materials and other supplies for the illegal "beaching"**.
The two are among the most advanced coast guard vessels in the Philippines, with a displacement of about 700 tons and a maximum speed of 25 knots. In addition, the Philippine Navy has also appeared, and after encountering our control, the situation on the scene has rapidly escalated.
The Philippine Coast Guard Boat No. 4407 suddenly increased its horsepower and collided with China's Coast Guard Boat No. 21555.
In the past, there have been collisions between the Chinese and Philippine coast guards, but they were all malicious retaliation by the Philippines after the fact, and it was the first time that they collided when they were discovered. The reason why the Philippine Coast Guard overreacted was that the two transport ships covered this time were loaded with a large amount of cement, steel and other construction materials and rotated soldiers.
In addition, Philippine Defense Secretary Teodoro has previously publicly stated that he will strengthen the nine islands and reefs in the South China Sea and deploy more military forces, so it cannot be ruled out that the forcible invasion of Ren'ai Jiao is aimed at this.
According to Philippine sources, at 8:32 a.m. on March 5, four Philippine ships entered the waters near Ren'ai Jiao, and the Chinese coast guard ship No. 21555 took the lead in intercepting them. Philippine Coast Guard vessel No. 4407 continued to move forward, eventually causing a collision and structural damage to the Philippine vessel.
The May 4 transport vessel also collided with a Chinese steel-hulled fishing boat, and during the ensuing standoff, the Chinese coast guard boat used a high-pressure water cannon to break the windshield of the May 4, injuring four crew members.
Obviously, the Philippine report still reverses black and white, does not mention the fact that it has forcibly violated China's territorial waters, blindly accuses China, and portrays itself as a "victim" and a "weak".
Ren'ai Jiao is China's inherent territory, and the Philippines is trying to achieve permanent forcible occupation with the help of a grounded ship and the support of the United States. When the broken ship is on the verge of disintegration, how can China agree to frequent forced attempts to transport illegal building materials?
Since the Philippines wants to kick its nose in the face, then the Chinese coast guard directly takes action to "teach you to be a man"!
In the end, under the strict defense of the Chinese coast guard, the four Philippine ships that could not find a chance left the waters near Ren'ai Jiao in a gray manner, and the full ship of building materials was also pulled back.
At 9:30 a.m. on the same day, our side inspected and made special arrangements for the May 1 transport ship to carry out special arrangements based on humanitarian principles, and only allowed it to bring food and fresh water into Ren'ai Jiao. At 10:54 a.m., the transport ship left the waters of Second Thomas Shoal, and the confrontation came to an end.
Our principles are clear: for humanitarian reasons, we allow food and fresh water to enter; But if the Philippines wants to take advantage of this opportunity to do something, then don't blame the Chinese side for being polite!
It is worth mentioning that in the past two months, the Philippines has been doing things near Scarborough Shoal, and now it is turning to Ren'ai Jiao because the new equipment imported by the Philippines from Canada has arrived. The device is capable of emitting virtual vessel information to mislead radar detection in order to break in and provide supplies.
However, the Philippines is not clear about the gap between China and the Philippines at all, and the 4 Philippine ships here have not yet left the port, and our side has gathered 28 ships in the waters of Ren'ai Jiao, locking the movement of Philippine ships throughout the whole process, **How do they perform.
After more than a year of confrontation, we have also made our goal clear, since the illegal "beaching" of Ren'ai Jiao has begun to rot, we will no longer continue to waste words with the Philippines, and within three or five years, the broken ship will disintegrate on its own, and those Filipino soldiers stationed in Ren'ai Jiao have also lost their carriers and can only be repatriated, and the Philippines will no longer have any excuse to get involved in Ren'ai Jiao.
Now the Philippines is indeed in a hurry, but the gap between China and the Philippines is here, even if the Philippines pulls the United States to support it, the result will be the same. Even ASEAN member states condemned the Philippines' move, hoping that Marcos Jr. would wake up, stop being a "leading party" for the United States, stop stirring up the regional situation, and stop doing bad things that damage China-Philippines relations.
