In March, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. went to the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines to ask China to provide food to alleviate the growing food crisis in the Philippines. As a result, without waiting for China's response, the Philippines forcibly landed on China's Wire Reef at the instigation of the United States, and then forced its way into Ren'ai Reef again.
The Philippines has broken its promises and disregarded the overall situation, so don't blame China for being unkind, and the latest videos show that the Chinese Coast Guard's approach to Philippine troublemakers can be described as crisp and ruthless, without any dragging.
In the video, 34 Philippine "scientific researchers" and some of their entourage and reporters initially sailed to the Wire Reef on a Philippine official ship, but were intercepted by the Chinese Coast Guard 5204 ship and a large number of fishing boats on the way, and were forced to take several speedboats to the Wire Reef in desperation. After landing at the Wire Reef, several Filipinos set up tents, while other Filipino "experts" pretended to collect samples.
Suddenly, a helicopter descended from the sky, and the violent air currents generated by the huge rotors smashed into the Filipinos, and the first few Filipinos who noticed that the situation was not good ran away and hid aside; the remaining Filipinos were not so lucky, some were almost overturned to the ground by the air current, and some were forced to retreat into the water! The air currents blew the luggage and tool kits carried by the Filipinos into pieces, and even tore off the tents that were being erected.
This helicopter is the Chinese Navy Z-8J helicopter, the prototype of the French SA-321 Super Wasp helicopter, is the continent's first large multi-purpose helicopter, the new generation of Z-8J take-off weight of 15 tons, load of 5-6 tons, and has a strong hovering ability. It is understood that the lift generated by the rotors when the Z-8J helicopter flies can reach 150kN, and the impact force is comparable to a small tornado.
Quite simply, 17 nautical miles away from the Ironline Reef is Subi Island, a typical artificial island, which was a complex atoll reef before 2015, and after more than two years of sand blowing and reclamation, it has now become a major base of China in the South China Sea, and there are docks for large warships and airfields for landing large aircraft, and the Z-8J helicopter is likely to take off from here. This is also the reason why we know that the Philippines has made a slight move on Thitu Island, and the Z-8J helicopter has been monitoring them from the air!
In addition to the Z-8J helicopters, the high-pressure water cannons equipped with Chinese coast guard ships are also a powerful weapon to deter harassment from the Philippines, which the Philippines is well aware of. After the failure of the forced landing on the Wire Reef, the Philippines hurried to the waters near Ren'ai Jiao to make trouble, and the Chinese coast guard took decisive action, first sending a number of fishing boats to surround the two Philippine coast guard boats, and then the Chinese coast guard ships chased the Philippine transport ship and fired water cannons.
The latest video released by the Philippine media shows that the front window glass of the Chinese coast guard ship's high-pressure water cannon sprayed into the Philippine transport ship's cabin was instantly shattered, and a large amount of water poured into the cabin at the same time.
As a result, such a set of images appeared in the video: two Chinese coast guard ships "flanked back and forth" a Philippine transport ship with water cannons, and the water cannons sprayed into the cabin from time to time with crackling and coughing sounds, and the Philippine transport ship spun in place due to the impact of the water column. The Filipino "fishermen" are aware of current affairs, waving white flags with their hands, while their lips squirm up and down, as if shouting: I surrender, I surrender, you have been beaten!
Taking the PSKD series of electric water cannons of the China Coast Guard as an example, the water cannon configuration is not too strong in the navy, with a working pressure of 1.0MPA, a firing range of about 50 meters, and an impact force of about 564,000 joules per second released by the water cannon at a distance of 10 times.
Whether it's using helicopters to drive them away or spraying them with water cannons, the Chinese coast guard's response to Philippine harassers is becoming more aggressive, but it is still manageable. The Philippines knows that the Chinese Navy is merciful, but why does it continue to provoke?
The United States, which has grown closer in the last two years, reaffirmed its defense commitment during a visit to the Philippines in mid-March. In addition, the Philippines is bent on binding the economic carriage of the United States, and Raimondo promised to invest $1 billion to help the Philippines develop the semiconductor industry during his visit to the Philippines, a promise that made the Philippines ecstatic. In return, the United States and the Philippines are willing to repeat the mistakes of the United States in the South China Sea and disrupt China.
The resources of the South China Sea have aroused the covetousness of the Philippines, which is the fundamental reason why the Philippines has been constantly stirring up trouble in the past two years. In the eyes of the Philippines, Scarborough Shoal, Thitu Island, Tie Line Reef, and Ren'ai Reef are far closer to the Philippine mainland than China, and they should be the first to taste this big cake. In 1999, the day after the United States brazenly bombed the Chinese Embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the Philippines took advantage of China's lack of time to take care of the South China Sea issue and forcibly ran aground on the wrecked ship, which it has been until now.
What Tudou wants to say is that sooner or later, whether in terms of legal theory or strength, China will take the islands controlled by the Philippines, but it needs to pay attention to the rhythm and timing.
