Recently, a maritime dispute has once again attracted international attention. On August 5, the Philippines sent two supply ships in an attempt to trespass into China's territorial waters to transport building materials and replacement personnel for dilapidated warships "beached" near Ren'ai Jiao. However, the Chinese coast guard ship quickly intercepted them, and when the warning was ineffective, China had to take action by using a water cannon warning to force the Philippine ship to reverse direction and sail away from the waters of Second Thomas Jiao.
Behind this incident is the Philippines' insistence on trespassing into China's territorial waters in disregard of China's repeated dissuasion, as well as the long-term detention of warships in Ren'ai Jiao, illegally occupying for 24 years, and constantly sending military personnel in a vain attempt to invade and occupy Chinese territory. Although China has repeatedly urged the Philippines to tow away the "beach" warship, the Philippines has not taken concrete actions and only stayed at the level of verbal commitments.
The Philippines did not heed China's kind advice, but issued a statement "strongly condemning" China's actions and summoned the Chinese ambassador to the Philippines to express protest. On August 8, the Chinese Foreign Ministry once again stressed its willingness to resolve the issue through dialogue and consultation, maintain bilateral relations and the stability of the maritime situation, and urged the Philippines to immediately tow away the "beach" warship and restore the original state of Ren'ai Jiao. This time, the tone of the Foreign Ministry's statement was clearly resolute, showing that China has reached the limit of its patience with this matter.
In this context, two Chinese departments have issued warnings one after another, and the outside world has also noticed a change in the tone of the Foreign Ministry. This is clearly a sign of escalation, and China's response has gradually escalated. At the same time, the outside world has also seen that the United States has been arching the fire, claiming that it does not recognize China's sovereignty in the South China Sea, and saying that it will apply to the "US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty" to provide support to the Philippines.
Perhaps encouraged by the United States, the Philippines remained high-profile despite China's warnings, saying it would increase its presence and patrols near Ren'ai Jiao in the South China Sea, sending more and larger ships to escort resupply missions. However, the South China Sea has been China's territory since ancient times, and the Philippines' attempt to gain support through arbitration in the South China Sea has failed, and this wastepaper ruling has not been widely recognized by the international community.
Regarding the South China Sea disputes, China has always advocated resolving differences through peaceful negotiations and jointly developing this resource-rich land. However, China's sovereignty cannot be violated, and the Philippines' delusions will only provoke a determined response from China. On this issue, China has a clear position and is willing to work with other countries to safeguard peace and stability in the South China Sea, but at the same time will resolutely defend its territory and sovereignty. As the old saying goes: "Friends come with good wine, jackals come with shotguns." ”
This maritime conflict is far from over, and the international community will continue to pay attention to and expect all parties to resolve disputes through dialogue and consultation to maintain regional peace and stability. May all countries handle this complex issue with reason and calmness and promote regional cooperation and common development with concrete actions.
