The Philippines has been lying on Ren'ai Jiao for more than 20 years, and it may be liquidated by China, and the United States does not dare to intervene

In history, friction between countries has inevitably led to some large and small wars, which were normal in the past, and the continent experienced more wars.

In the South China Sea on the mainland, there is a Philippine warship that has been here for more than 20 years, and the Philippines will send some personnel to station here every year.

In the past two years, China has begun to liquidate the problems left over from history one by one, this warship may be liquidated by the mainland, but the United States does not dare to intervene, what will be the outcome of this warship?

1. The old warships of the Philippines

The Philippines is a small country with little international influence, and geographically, it is a neighbor of the mainland, and the two countries have argued and disagreed over territorial issues in the past.

Looking at the modern history of the mainland, although it has achieved sovereignty, its position in the international community is precarious, but fortunately, the masses on the mainland are united enough to become strong step by step under the correct leadership of the party.

After the end of World War II, the United States has always occupied the position of international hegemon, and it has tried its best to suppress those countries that seem to be relatively powerful.

It may be because hegemonism has been implemented for a long time, and the United States has long adapted to this method, and it is even more unscrupulous in doing things, because it is strong enough, so no one dares to resist head-on.

In 1999, a major international event occurred when the Chinese Embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was bombed by NATO, and three journalists were killed.

After this incident, the Chinese people were very sad, and the mainland also asked the United States for verification and explanation as soon as possible.

At the time, the United States said it was a mistake, because they were using old maps, so the final target of the attack was different from the actual situation, which accidentally blew up the Chinese embassy.

This explanation is obviously perfunctory, which has also led to a state of tension in Sino-US relations, but what people say is reasonable, and the mainland cannot insist that people are lying.

After the incident, the United States assumed full responsibility for the incident and provided financial compensation to the families of the victims, which was originally a problem between China and the United States, but the Philippines made small moves behind the scenes.

Two days after the bombing of the Yugoslav embassy, an old U.S. warship set off from the Philippines toward Mischief Reef in the South China Sea.

The region was fat in the eyes of the Philippines, which had long wanted to compete for sovereignty, and at the time China's naval and military strength was not strong, and its management of the South China Sea region was somewhat lax.

The warship, named the Sierra Madre, made its way to Ren'ai Reef, 31 kilometers southeast of Mischief Reef, a vast atoll.

Ren'ai Reef is 15 kilometers long and 5.6 kilometers wide, and most of the area is flooded at high tide and exposed at low tide, and it is particularly rich in fishery resources.

While the mainland was busy dealing with the embassy incident and dealing with the United States, the Philippines saw the opportunity and drove the broken warship to this area.

Due to the complex terrain of the Ren'ai Reef area, there are many reefs on the bottom of the sea, and in the process of driving, this old warship ran aground directly on the beach.

The sudden appearance of a huge warship is bound to attract the attention of those around it, and the Chinese coast guard also went to check on the Philippine warship at that time.

In the face of the Chinese coast guard's inquiry, the other party was also very cooperative, saying that the warship suddenly ran aground when driving here, and now it is impossible to drive, and they will try to repair it as soon as possible, and will leave immediately as long as they can drive.

Hearing the other party's answer, the mainland coast guard has no reason to refuse, but everyone knows that this Sierra Madre was built in 1944 and served in the US Navy for nearly 30 years, and then served in the Philippine Navy for 50 years.

At that time, the mainland only gave a verbal warning, asking the Philippines to repair the warship as soon as possible, and then leave immediately, unexpectedly, this warship ran aground for more than 20 years as soon as it ran aground.

Second, the intention of the Philippines

People's warships are broken on the territory of the mainland, and all we can do is help them repair them, and the Philippines has not done anything further, people have only occupied Ren'ai Jiao on the grounds that warships cannot be repaired.

After the Chinese coast guard left, Philippine soldiers began surveying the topography of Ren'ai Jiao and even surveying nearby natural resources.

At first, the Philippines only looked at the fishery resources here, which could bring them huge economic benefits.

But after probing, they found that there were a large amount of oil and gas resources near Ren'ai Jiao, which was an unexpected gain for the Philippines, so they made a small calculation to seize the area and natural resources.

Using tough means to rob will inevitably attract the dissatisfaction of everyone, and it is also a bad name in the international community, and it is not smooth, and directly stranded the warship here, and has been occupying Ren'ai Jiao on the grounds of repair, so that the Philippines' purpose can be regarded as half.

The Philippines later issued an announcement saying that the warship needed to be repaired, and its ships would frequently travel to the South China Sea on the mainland to deliver supplies to the servicemen stationed on the warship.

Ren'ai Jiao is more than 200 kilometers from the Philippines, which is not too far, and it is not impossible to use other ships to transport the warship back to the Philippines, but it has insisted on repairs.

The maintenance progress of this warship is extremely slow, and it can even be said to be stagnant, in fact, to put it bluntly, the current warship is the end of the strong crossbow, and its service time has exceeded the normal service life of the warship.

Now, more than 20 years later, the people stationed on the warships have changed wave after wave, and the situation has not changed, the Philippines has been using maintenance as an excuse, and China cannot forcibly expel it.

3. Reasons why China cannot expel it

After seeing what the Philippines did, China warned the other side many times, but it only verbally agreed, and what to do afterwards, China expressed special helplessness.

At this time, some people will say, why don't we forcibly expel them from the mainland territory?

This has to be said that the Philippines' mind is ingenious, the Sierra Madre is a pile of scrap iron for anyone to look at, the hull is rusty, and many facilities and parts inside cannot work properly.

It was almost impossible to get it to sail on the sea again, but the warship had been in service and had not been retired from the Philippine Navy.

If the mainland forcibly expels him, the Philippines can directly identify it as a provocation by the mainland to the Philippines, and it can directly take military action.

Just like two people fighting, as long as you start first, regardless of whether you have ignored it before, then you will eventually bear a slightly higher responsibility than the other party.

The Philippines is not large, and its military capabilities are not high, and it does not pose much threat to the mainland, but there is also the United States behind this matter.

The current international situation is not stable, and if the mainland really forcibly expelled the Philippine warship and it also launched a military operation, then the United States behind it could have an excuse to intervene in this matter.

Just like the current Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the United States originally wanted to suppress the mainland, and once there is a military action, the United States will definitely stand on the side of the Philippines, and then it will intervene by force.

In the past two years, the Taiwan Strait issue has become increasingly acute, and the United States is worried that it cannot find a reason.

The Philippines is also faceless and skinless, so they have been entrenched on the human island for 20 years, and this warship has become a pile of scrap iron.

Through decades of construction, the mainland has made higher and higher achievements in various fields, and when everything has settled, in recent years the mainland has a great intention to concentrate on solving some problems left over from history.

As far as the Philippines is concerned, the mainland has also taken action this year, it has made great efforts to illegally encroach on Ren'ai Jiao, and if China takes action, it may be empty.

Fourth, China's approach

After the end of World War II, the international situation seemed to have stabilized, but in fact it was a dark tide, and the United States would encourage some small countries to do something that endangered international security from time to time.

In 2016, the Philippines directly proposed to reclassify Ren'ai Jiao and its surrounding areas, and it did so with the support of the United States.

Since then, the mainland has intensified its inspections of islands in the South China Sea, and the Chinese coast guard has made Ren'ai Jiao a key target.

Since then, if the Philippines wants to deliver supplies to warships, it needs to go through multiple inquiries by the Chinese coast guard, which is also a routine matter, but it only consumes the Philippines' time.

Sometimes their supplies may not be delivered to the island for several days, and the soldiers stationed on them can only starve, coupled with the lack of protection of the living environment and facilities on the island, everyone also complains a lot.

The Philippines has occupied parts of the mainland in the South China Sea long enough, and it has been getting closer to the United States for the past two years, after the two countries jointly conducted exercises.

China ultimately decided not to tolerate it, and in March 42 Chinese fishing vessels, protected by two coast guard vessels, sailed directly to Thitu Island in the Philippines-controlled South China Sea and operated nearby.

In a tense atmosphere where a dilapidated warship surrounded by so many advanced ships and coast guard ships is terrified, China does not do much.

After China strengthened the supervision of the nearby waters, the Philippines changed the transportation route of materials to airdrops, which also increased transportation costs, so the Philippines also has bitter words about the occupation of the Ren'ai Jiao area.

By mid-April, an Associated Press reporter's Philippine coast guard patrol vessel, trying to approach Ren'ai Jiao, possibly to interview Filipino servicemen stationed there, was expelled by a large Chinese coast guard vessel.

In the waters of the mainland, the ships of any country can enter at will, which has become a joke, and in the end the other party's plan has not been implemented.

Not long ago, the mainland sent a high-powered tugboat to stand by near Ren'ai Jiao, and it is clear that as soon as we give an order, we intend to drive the broken warship of the Philippines out of Ren'ai Jiao.

In 2018, when the Philippines wanted to repeat its old tricks, a frigate ran aground on Half Moon Reef, and the mainland drove a large professional tug nearby.

Seeing that China is so tough, the Philippines, which a second ago said that it could not be repaired, miraculously repaired the ship's keys as quickly as possible and sailed out of the area, and since it left on its own, the United States did not have the right to interfere.

summary

Territorial and sovereign integrity is the bottom line of the mainland and cannot be touched.

Now that we have absolute strength to confront other countries, and we can directly tow away the Philippines' broken warships, the Philippines should recognize the reality.

What is obtained in a tricky way will not last long after all, and it has been occupying things that should not belong to itself, and it is only in vain, and China has tolerated the Philippines enough, which does not mean that the mainland is weak and can be bullied.

As the saying goes, the tiger is not powerful, you and I are sick cats, the mainland has been friendly to deal with diplomatic relations, if someone bullies the head, we absolutely have zero tolerance.
