[The South China Sea has risen again, the Chinese coast guard has imposed an "electromagnetic blockade", and the Philippine fleet has been completely "blinded"].
This storm in the South China Sea has once again plunged the entire region into tension. While Chinese mainland and Taiwan are at a deadlock over the fishing boat incident, the Philippines is trying to quietly operate in the South China Sea, trying to take advantage of the "Taiwan Strait incident" to steal its interests. This time, however, Philippine speculation has kicked the steel plate, and perhaps it will leave a deep memory on them.
**At the regular press conference, spokesperson Mao Ning made it clear that Scarborough Shoal is China's inherent territory. Recently, the Philippines has taken a series of actions that infringe on China's sovereignty in the waters off Scarborough Shoal, and China has no choice but to take necessary measures to firmly safeguard its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. This "necessary measure" refers to the fact that China has installed a large hard floating barrier at the entrance to the Scarborough Shoal lagoon to prevent Philippine vessels from entering. Last year, the Philippines secretly sent divers to cut rope nets, forcing China to reinstall barriers and seal off the Scarborough Shoal lagoon again.
The Philippines has a special politics, and all the successive leaders belong to a certain big family, so the policies are changeable. In recent years, after Marcos Jr. took office, Philippine policy has clearly leaned toward the United States, trying to use American power to invade and occupy China's territory in the South China Sea. However, the Philippines' strength is not commensurate with its ambitions, and its navy does not even have gunboats, not even missiles.
For China, the Philippines' provocation is nothing more than a means of "attacking the West". It hyped up the Taiwan issue in order to gain more space for activities in the South China Sea. However, China has exercised a high degree of restraint and has not launched a frontal attack on the Philippines. However, the Philippines completely miscalculated this time, because China implemented electromagnetic interference, which caused all the AIS signals of Philippine ships to disappear. This meant that the Philippine fleet was blind and deaf at sea, unable to maintain its formation, let alone approach Scarborough Shoal.
The Philippines tried to use this to hype up the topic and invite a large number of journalists to travel with the ship, but it encountered sudden electromagnetic interference, which led to the complete failure of the plan. The Philippines** explained that the Chinese coast guard ships are equipped with large jamming equipment, but this also demonstrates China's strong strength in the field of electronic countermeasures technology.
For China, the conflict is not weak, but out of a desire not to go to war with the Philippines. However, if the Philippines insists on provocation, China will respond resolutely. This turmoil in the South China Sea is just a microcosm of China's safeguarding of national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and China will defend its national dignity and interests with stronger force.
At this challenging time, China must remain vigilant and firmly safeguard its core interests. The storms and waves in the South China Sea may be brewing all the time, but we have the confidence and strength to respond to any challenge with decisive actions and defend the maritime rights and interests of the motherland!
