The actions of the Philippine Coast Guard vessel are outrageous, not only violating international rules on avoiding collisions at sea, but also carrying out illegal operations in the waters adjacent to Ren'ai Jiao in the Spratly Islands, and deliberately ramming the Chinese coast guard boat. This heinous act has completely exposed the ambition of the Philippine side and its attitude that is not afraid of provocation. Gan Yu, spokesperson for the China Coast Guard, said that the Philippine side is completely untrustworthy, deliberately stirs up trouble, maliciously incites propaganda and hypes to continue to undermine peace and stability in the South China Sea. Such an act is unpopular and seriously provokes China's sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
The Philippine Coast Guard's disregard for warnings and deliberate collision not only violated international rules on avoiding collisions at sea, but also provoked China's law enforcement actions. The China Coast Guard's strict control and regulation in accordance with the law, and the temporary special arrangements for Philippine vessels transporting daily necessities out of humanitarian reasons are already tolerant and benevolent to the Philippine side. However, the Philippine Coast Guard ship 4407 did not hesitate to ram, resulting in a slight scratch. The Philippine side's behavior in this incident can be said to be extremely shameless, completely ignoring the law enforcement actions of the China Coast Guard, which deserves strong condemnation.
In response to the typical provocation of the Philippine side, Gan Yu, spokesperson of the China Coast Guard, said that the China Coast Guard will resolutely respond to any infringement and provocation and resolutely safeguard national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. This is a tough response to malicious provocations and demonstrates the determination of the China Coast Guard to safeguard national interests. The Philippines' provocative behavior is not only a provocation to China, but also a violation of regional peace and stability. It is hoped that the Philippine side will face up to the problem and stop this dangerous behavior before it triggers more serious consequences.
The deliberate ramming of a Philippine coast guard vessel into a coast guard vessel normally enforced by the Chinese side is extremely dangerous and irresponsible. The Philippines should recognize its mistake and take proactive steps to avoid a similar incident. At the same time, he also called on the international community to severely condemn the provocative acts of the Philippines and jointly safeguard regional peace and stability.
