In this vast blue territory, the flag of the China Coast Guard once again flew high, becoming a staunch symbol of defending the dignity of the country's territory. When Philippine vessels intruded into the waters near Scarborough Shoal despite China's solemn warnings, the Chinese coast guard acted quickly and defended national sovereignty with thunder.
Scarborough Shoal, a witness to this piece of history, has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times. However, the ambition and ignorance of the Philippines have repeatedly tried to challenge this hard fact. But this time, they were once again met with a determined response from the Chinese Coast Guard.
According to Gan Yu, spokesperson of the China Coast Guard, in the face of the illegal entry of Philippine vessels, the Chinese Coast Guard has taken precise and effective measures to successfully drive Philippine vessels away through professional follow-up, water cannon warnings and interception control. Throughout the process, the China Coast Guard has demonstrated a high degree of professionalism and determination, once again demonstrating its strong ability to safeguard the country's territorial sovereignty.
It is worth mentioning that the intrusion of the Philippine ships did not succeed this time, but suffered serious losses. According to the Philippine side, its coast guard ships suffered varying degrees of damage to their radars, electronic display screens and other facilities during the confrontation with the Chinese coast guard. This result once again highlights the firm stance and strong strength of the China Coast Guard.
The Philippines' defeat this time is not only a complete defeat to its ambitions, but also a powerful response to its provocative behavior. The solemn defense of the China Coast Guard has once again sent a clear message to the international community: any attempt to infringe on China's territorial sovereignty will be resolutely countered and forcefully punished.
On this issue, we once again see the profound meaning of the ancient adage that "good words are hard to persuade damned ghosts". The stubbornness and provocation of the Philippines will only lead to a more passive situation. We urge the Philippine government to have a clear understanding of the situation, stop all acts that infringe on China's territorial sovereignty, and jointly safeguard peace and stability in the South China Sea.
The China Coast Guard will continue to maintain a high degree of vigilance and resolutely defend China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. At the same time, we also call on the international community to respect and maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea and make positive contributions to regional prosperity and development. As an important maritime area in Asia, the South China Sea carries the common interests of countless countries and nations. We should work together to promote peace, stability, prosperity and development in the South China Sea based on the concept of peace, cooperation and win-win results.
China has always adhered to a foreign policy of peaceful development and is committed to establishing harmonious and friendly relations with its neighbors. We are ready to work with the Philippines and other neighboring countries in the South China Sea to resolve disputes in the South China Sea through dialogue, consultation and mutual benefit and win-win results, and jointly safeguard peace and stability in the South China Sea.
In addition, we call on the international community to strengthen cooperation to jointly address maritime security challenges and promote the sustainable use and protection of marine resources. By strengthening maritime law enforcement cooperation, information sharing, and joint exercises, we can work together to build a safe, stable, and prosperous maritime environment.
Let us work together to create a peaceful, stable and prosperous future in the South China Sea. Let us work together to promote regional cooperation and development with an open and inclusive mind, and make positive contributions to the peace and prosperity of mankind.
