Not long ago, in order to safeguard the sacred sovereignty and dignity of the mainland, our side used high-pressure water cannons for the first time to directly strike at a Philippine coast guard vessel. Although China has also used water cannons in maritime confrontations with the Philippines before, it is basically against Philippine official ships or supply ships that forcibly invade islands and reefs, and this is the first time that water cannons have been used against Philippine coast guard ships.
Recently, perhaps because the US military is conducting joint exercises with the US military in the Philippines, the Philippine Marcos Jr. authorities have become emboldened again and want to provoke new incidents in the South China Sea. However, the Philippines may not realize that a world power of the same size as the United States, or even in the least overall strength, will not be intimidated by a mere 10,000-odd US troops! Therefore, although the Philippines has deliberately provoked incidents on many occasions and seems to be very ferocious, in fact it has "stolen chickens and rice" every time, and all provocative acts will eventually end in failure. According to the information publicly released by the Chinese coast guard, the coast guard law enforcement ship was in the waters near Huangyan Island on the same day, and drove away the Philippine ships that illegally intruded into the waters in accordance with the law. So, how did we drive the Philippine ships away? Let's take a look:
According to a briefing given by a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, on the morning of 30 April, the Philippine Coast Guard ship No. 4410 tried in vain to forcibly rush into the reef of Huangyan Dao! As a result, it was discovered by the Chinese Coast Guard, which had been waiting for a long time! Immediately after that, the Chinese side directly used high-pressure water cannons to launch a direct attack on the Philippine coast guard ship that dared to provoke. Judging from the footage made public at the scene, the Philippine Coast Guard ship was attacked by our coast guard from both sides, and the hull suffered great losses, so it can be said that it has been directly "scrapped".
Another Philippine official ship No. 3004 was even more rampant, and it actually collided directly with our coast guard ship! After seeing that the Philippine ship was so rampant and took the initiative to ram our ship, the Philippine ship No. 3305 also carried out a close-range water cannon strike on the Philippine ship 3004! Because the height and volume of our ship were much larger than those of the Philippine ship, our water cannons could only hit the upper hull of the Philippine ship at close range. Judging from the picture at the scene, the radome of the Philippine ship No. 3004 has been damaged, and it is estimated that it is no longer usable!
Scarborough Shoal has been an inseparable part of the mainland since ancient times, and the Philippines' brazen dispatch of ships in an attempt to forcibly break through without permission is truly a great defence of the whole world! Our coast guard has dealt a calm response, has rules and regulations, forcefully stopped the evil acts of the Philippines, dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Philippines, and once again won a brilliant victory!
The reason why the Marcos authorities have continued to stir up trouble in the South China Sea in accordance with US instructions and have also "invited" US troops to station military bases in the Philippines and even allowed the US military to deploy the rather threatening "Typhon" missile system in the Philippines is nothing more than an attempt to "make waves in the South China Sea with the help of US forces" in a vain attempt to further illegally seize maritime interests. But now, the Marcos Jr. regime's conspiracy has completely failed, and the reason is very simple: with the current strength of the United States, there is actually no possibility of winning in the South China Sea, and in the face of the powerful People's Liberation Army, the US military will not only not stand up for the Philippines, but will have to let the Philippines stand in the front, which may not have been expected by Marcos Jr. As for the Philippines' own strength, it is not surprising that a frenzied provocation in the South China Sea is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and it will eventually face defeat.
Marcos Jr.'s introduction of U.S. influence not only failed to benefit him, but instead led to the continuous deterioration of Sino-Philippine relations, causing the Philippines to miss a good opportunity for economic development. In addition, ASEAN countries are actually very afraid of the entry of US and Western forces into the South China Sea, and Marcos Jr.'s move to lure the wolf into the house has actually made the Philippines unprecedentedly isolated in ASEAN, which is by no means good news for the Philippines, an ASEAN country.
To sum up, compared with ASEAN countries that want to seek cooperation with China to develop their economies and maintain regional stability, Marcos Jr.'s behavior has made the Philippines an "outlier" in ASEAN. The Marcos Jr. administration's practice of throwing in the United States and acting perversely has become more and more unsustainable, and the Marcos Jr. administration has come under unprecedented pressure, both internationally and within ASEAN! Under such circumstances, if the Marcos Jr. administration does not repent, and insists on going its own way, it will certainly not end well in the end.
