Recently, the Chinese Coast Guard gave a hard lesson to a Philippine ship that forcibly intruded into the waters of Scarborough Shoal, using high-pressure water cannons to hit the Philippine Coast Guard 4410 boat. The latest news shows that the LED display, railings and navigation equipment and other components of the Philippine Coast Guard 4410 boat have been seriously damaged, and the amount of damage has reached 3 million pesos (about 52,000 US dollars), which makes the Philippine Coast Guard feel distressed but helpless.
By the way, when the Philippine Coast Guard 4410 boat and the 3004 official ship were sprayed by water cannons, our 052D missile destroyer was operating in the waters near Scarborough Shoal.
What makes the Philippines depressed is that in addition to Scarborough Shoal, he has also lost all his "face" in the waters of Ren'ai Jiao. It turned out that the "Hai Survey 3301" survey ship owned by the Ministry of Natural Resources of China and the two fishery guidance vessels Yuexia Fishing Index 20027 and 20030 sailed into the waters of Ren'ai Jiao to conduct sample collection and other marine scientific research operations. In order to carry out the scientific research work smoothly, the scientific research ship has released six working boats.
This scene was seen by the Filipino soldiers on the wrecked ship of the "Sierra Madre", who immediately sent two black rubber boats to the Chinese research ship. As a result, the menacing Philippine rubber boat stopped in front of the research ship, and the two sides were only a few dozen centimeters apart recently.
The Chinese scientists seemed to ignore the cries of the Filipino soldiers and left only after completing their scientific work. This makes the Philippine military very angry, because Chinese scientific researchers are not afraid of them at all, compared to the Philippine "fishermen" are really cowardly, and have repeatedly raised the white flag to China and surrendered!
The Philippines still does not give up after being "deflated" many times at Scarborough Shoal and Ren'ai Jiao, and has recently made a lot of nonsense on the South China Sea issue. Teodoro, the Philippine defense secretary, has publicly stated that the "gentlemen's agreement" that China has emphasized does not exist and that the Philippine Defense Department has never been in contact with any Chinese official.
Philippine national security adviser Agnoro accused China of fabricating the so-called "new model" on Ren'ai Jiao, and that Philippine officials have never reached any agreement on the issue of Ren'ai Jiao.
This kind of rogue behavior of the Philippines is not once or twice, and China is not used to them, and directly shows the "evidence". In response to this question, the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines made it clear that the "new model" for the control of Ren'ai Jiao has been repeatedly confirmed by the Western Philippine Military Region and approved by all key figures in the Philippine chain of command, including the Philippine defense secretary and national security adviser, who have flatly denied the matter.
The spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines also specifically pointed out that there is a detailed and complete record of the negotiation process of the "new model", which Tudou believes is a hint to the Philippines: don't go too far in acting, be careful to slap your face after the evidence is released!
In addition, there is evidence that after the "new model" was reached, the Philippines carried out an operation on the wrecked ship on Second Thomas Shoal, which was deliberately released on social media by a spokesman for the Philippine military on the same day.
Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte knows best about the "gentlemen's agreement". In March this year, Duterte's spokesman and aide Harry Roque said in an interview with the media that Durdte had good relations with China when he was president of the Philippines, with substantial economic growth, and had frank communication with China on the Ren'ai Jiao issue, and reached a "gentleman's agreement", that is, China allowed the Philippines to regularly replenish supplies to the broken ship that had been stranded for more than 20 years, and at the same time, the transport ship should not be doped with steel bars, cement and other construction materials.
Of course, the Philippine authorities, led by Marcos, have strenuously denied Harry's claims, saying that there is no agreement between China and the Philippines. A series of retaliations against Duterte and other pro-China figures followed.
Manuel Mamba, who is the governor of the local government of Cagayan Province in the northeastern part of the Philippine island of Luzon, recently visited China, and soon after returning to the Philippines, he was retaliated against by Marcos and others, slandering Cagayan Province for entering the country without visas for Chinese students, and accusing Chinese students of engaging in things that endanger Philippine national security.
Due to multiple factors, Duterte personally came to the forefront, publicly acknowledging the existence of a "gentleman's agreement" between China and the Philippines, while denying that it harmed Philippine interests. In the course of the confrontation between Marcos and Duterte on the issue of "gentlemen's agreement", it was obvious that Marcos lacked confidence, because he could not produce actual evidence, and could only let the top level of the government "verbally deny" one by one.
As a matter of fact, regardless of whether the gentlemen's agreement exists or not, China has drawn a red line for the Philippines and set rules for the Philippines in the South China Sea! What is a red line and what are the rules? It is the maximum limit that a country can endure, and when the other side crosses the red line, it will inevitably encounter a fierce counterattack from one side.
In response to a question about the Philippines' illegal intrusion into Scarborough Shoal, a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines said that in 2016, the mainland made temporary arrangements to allow Philippine small fishing boats to fish in specific waters of Scarborough Shoal, but prohibited them from entering the lagoon. At the same time, Philippine official ships and warships are prohibited from entering the airspace of the 12-nautical-mile sea of Scarborough Shoal.
Since Marcos took office, he crossed the red line many times and arranged for Philippine coast guard ships and official ships to intrude into the 12-nautical-mile waters of Scarborough Shoal. In order to safeguard China's territorial maritime rights and interests, China resolutely dispatched coast guard ships to drive away Philippine ships, which is a necessary measure.
As mentioned at the beginning, China has prepared for the worst for Scarborough Shoal, Ren'ai Jiao and many other islands in the South China Sea, and once the Philippines crosses the red line and does not follow the rules, China will never only dispatch coast guard ships, but will take more aggressive measures, which is why the 052D missile destroyer "coincidentally" appeared in the waters near Scarborough Shoal.
Now the Philippines is throwing itself into the arms of the United States and is at the mercy of the United States, but it does not know that it is just a pawn of the United States, and it is the kind of chess piece that can be discarded at any time.
The United States has repeatedly promised the Philippines that the Philippines has the right to activate the "US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty," but it does not know that the United States has deliberately distorted the original meaning of the treaty in its statement, replacing the original "the treaty can be invoked if both sides are attacked and killed" with the fact that the Filipinos can only be invoked if they are attacked and killed in the South China Sea.
