Following the previous illegal landing on China's iron line reef, the Philippines launched another provocation in the waters near Ren'ai Jiao, but this time the Philippine provocation suffered a fiasco. Gan Yu, spokesman for the China Coast Guard, confirmed that on the 23rd, the Philippines sent two coast guard ships and one supply ship to intrude into the waters near Ren'ai Jiao in an attempt to deliver construction materials to its illegal "beached" warship, and the China Coast Guard dealt with it in accordance with laws and regulations. Although the Chinese coast guard did not release more details at the time, judging from the video materials leaked on social media, the Philippine provocateurs were really embarrassed at that time.
As can be seen in the footage, the Chinese coast guard ship fired high-pressure water cannons at the supply ship chartered by the Philippine military, and the water column continued to spray the Philippine boat, making it impossible for the Philippine personnel to raise their heads at all. Perhaps frustrated by the water jet, there was a rare scene on the Philippine vessel, where someone leaned out of the window and waved a white flag made of unknown things at the Chinese vessel, as if to ask the Chinese coast guard ship to stop spraying the jet of water. Combined with the Philippine side's account, it admitted that the resupply operation was unsuccessful, and that the Philippine vessel suffered "serious damage" and that other Filipinos were injured. It can be seen that in the face of the maritime defense line built by the Chinese Coast Guard in the waters near Ren'ai Jiao, the Philippine side that took provocative actions was knocked out on the head and bled out, which is exactly in response to the warning made by the spokesperson of the Chinese Coast Guard that those who play with fire will bring humiliation on themselves, and the Chinese Coast Guard is ready to fight all the time!
It is worth noting that 24 hours after the latest confrontation between China and the Philippines at Ren'ai Jiao, China's Ministry of National Defense came forward to explain to the Philippine side. At the regular press conference of the Ministry of National Defense, spokesman Wu Qian pointed out that China's sovereignty and territorial integrity brook no violation, and although China is willing to settle disputes with the Philippine side through dialogue and negotiation, the Philippine side has gone back on its word and treacherously attempted to reinforce the illegal "beached" warship at Ren'ai Jiao into a permanent facility, and the Chinese side will never sit idly by! Wu Qian also warned the Philippines that if it repeatedly challenges China's bottom line, China will continue to take resolute and resolute measures to firmly safeguard its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. It can be said that the warning of the Ministry of National Defense has already made it clear to the Marcos authorities in the Philippines that if the Philippine side wants to continue to transport building materials to the broken ships that are illegally "beached" on Ren'ai Jiao, the PLA will not ignore them, and it cannot be ruled out that a conflict between China and the Philippines will break out as a result! So, after the Chinese Ministry of National Defense issued this warning, will the Marcos authorities be able to heed the warning and pull back from the precipice?
I have to admit that the Philippines will not only not stop in the South China Sea, but will launch more violent provocations. The Philippines has been illegally "beached" on China's Ren'ai Jiao for more than 20 years, and since it has not been reinforced, the wrecked ship may not last long, and the Philippines will be forced to end its illegal presence on China's Ren'ai Jiao by that time, and the Marcos authorities obviously do not want to accept that situation. Therefore, as time goes by, the Philippines' attempt to force its way into the waters of Second Thomas Shoal will become more aggressive, and we should have sufficient psychological expectations for this.
Now it seems that China is ready to talk with the Philippines and fight with the Philippines. The spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense once again stressed to the Philippine side that it is willing to resolve the dispute through negotiations, which is a goodwill to the Marcos administration and a reminder to return to the right path of resolving the dispute through negotiation with the Chinese side. But the PLA's vow not to ignore it is a warning to the Philippines that the PLA has already begun to act, and a few days ago, a 054A-class guided missile destroyer appeared in the waters near Ren'ai Jiao, indicating that China is preparing for any eventuality. If the Marcos administration still refuses to give up its ambition to encroach on China's sovereignty and insists on provoking China in the South China Sea, the consequences that await them will be extremely serious, and the warnings of the Chinese military are no joke.
