The United States has indeed attached great importance to this exercise, and more than 10,000 US troops have been dispatched to take part in this exercise! Obviously, the United States wants to use this kind of fanfare to show off its powerful strength and show off its force on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also to show "support" for the Philippines and hope that the Philippines will continue to stir up trouble in the South China Sea, thus creating an opportunity for the United States to interfere in the situation in the South China Sea and disrupt regional peace.
Just as more than 10,000 U.S. troops arrived in the South China Sea, the Philippines probably felt that with the "support" of so many U.S. troops, it might be "doing it again." Therefore, under such circumstances, the Philippines has once again engaged in a new "moth" and is ready to carry out another crazy provocation against China in the South China Sea. According to the Philippine side's public announcement on 22 April, the Philippines will conduct a so-called "hydrographic survey" in the waters near Thitu Island in the South China Sea, which it has illegally stolen, during which all "unrelated vessels" will be avoided! Moreover, it is worth noting that the Philippines' so-called "BRP H Ventura" hydrographic survey ship has already arrived at Thitu Island, which shows that the Philippines is really preparing to carry out a so-called "hydrographic survey" on Thitu Island!
You must know that Thitu Island and its surrounding waters have been an inseparable part of the mainland since ancient times! As early as the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty (1796-1820) more than 200 years ago, the island was inhabited by Chinese fishermen, and even the Philippine state did not exist at that time! However, it is regrettable that due to various reasons, this beautiful pearl of the South China Sea has been illegally stolen by the Philippine side since 1971, and it has been more than 50 years now. Previously, due to some considerations, our side did not expel the Filipino personnel on the island. As a result, I didn't expect that the Philippines would now kick its nose in the face, and still have to conduct some kind of "investigation" near Thitu Island, which is illegally stolen, and even prevent other ships from approaching, which is simply a great condemnation of the world!
The Philippine behavior is not only a frenzied provocation against our side, but is also very likely to pose a threat to the safety of our fishermen who are carrying out normal fishing operations near Thitu Island! Therefore, under such circumstances, we must not allow the Philippine conspiracy to succeed! According to information from relevant quarters, China's powerful coast guard has taken a strong action and launched a powerful countermeasure against the Philippine behavior!
According to public information from relevant quarters, China's coast guard ship 5101 has arrived in the waters near Thitu Island! The coast guard ship 5101 is a coast guard ship with a tonnage of 1,000 tons, equipped with 30mm naval guns and two 12.7mm heavy machine guns, and its armament is quite powerful, surpassing most Philippine coast guard ships! It can be seen that our coast guard is fully prepared, and once the Philippines dares to "step on the red line," it will inevitably be dealt with by our coast guard!
The Philippines thinks that the arrival of more than 10,000 US troops can "support" it, but perhaps what the Philippines did not expect is that we do not pay attention to the more than 10,000 US troops at all! Obviously, if anyone dares to deliberately cause trouble around the mainland, both the Philippines and the United States will have the only way to fail in the end!
