A Chinese coast guard ship escorted 14 Chinese fishing boats to Thitu Island!
A few days ago, the Philippine Coast Guard released pictures saying that on April 5, a large number of Chinese ships gathered in the waters of Thitu Island, including a Chinese coast guard ship and 13 Chinese fishing boats. Specifically, 10 Chinese fishing boats are clustered together on the innermost layer, 3 Chinese fishing boats are scattered in different directions on the outermost layer, and a Chinese coast guard ship is escorted by a Chinese coast guard ship on the middle layer to ensure the safety of fishing boats and fishermen.
In fact, most of the Chinese ships gathered near the Wire Reef, some distance from the main island of Thitu Island. Last month, dozens of Filipino people forcibly entered China's iron line reef by boat, and Chinese Navy helicopters defended their rights on the spot.
It is said that the Philippine side has hundreds of military personnel stationed on the island, has built an airport, and can take off and land various types of military aircraft; moreover, there are kindergartens and other civilian facilities, which in fact treat the Filipino people as "meat shields."
As we all know, Thitu reefs, including Thitu Island, have been China's inherent territory since ancient times. At one time, the Taiwan authorities sent troops to garrison it, but in 1971, the "Taiwan troops" on the island briefly withdrew from Thitu Island to avoid a typhoon, and the Philippines took advantage of the situation to enter Thitu Island, and to this day, Thitu Island is still illegally occupied by the Philippines.
On the same day, three Chinese coast guard vessels and two Chinese fishing boats appeared near Ren'ai Jiao.
