The Philippines has once again made a serious mistake in the South China Sea, triggering serious maritime frictions. According to the China Coast Guard's 2024 rights enforcement announcement, most of the incidents involved are related to the Philippines. Even during the Chinese New Year, the Philippines has not stopped its provocative behavior.
The most recent incident occurred during China's Two Sessions at Second Thomas Shoal. According to the report of the China Coast Guard:
The Philippines sent a number of ships, including two coast guard ships and two replenishment vessels, to trespass into the waters of China's Ren'ai Jiao and try to deliver supplies to **, which is illegally "beached" there.
The Philippine side's actions appeared unprofessional and dangerous. The Philippine Coast Guard vessel 4407 not only ignored China's repeated warnings, but also deliberately rammed the Chinese Coast Guard Boat 21555, which was carrying out normal law enforcement duties, resulting in a minor collision.
Note that we accused China of a deliberate collision, but the result was only a slight scratch. However, the Philippine side reversed black and white, claiming that the Chinese coast guard ship blocked the Philippine supply ship and fired water cannons, causing damage to the Philippine ship and injuries. The Philippines immediately summoned Chinese diplomats and demanded that the Chinese ships leave the corresponding waters. 
The U.S. ambassador to the Philippines and the U.S. have also blamed China for siding with the Philippines. In this case, the truth does not seem to matter, but the parties continue to support the Philippines.
