Tensions between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea have not eased, and the true face of the Philippines has finally surfaced as senior Chinese officials released recordings of the so-called new model of China-Philippines handling Ren'ai Jiao. The Philippines is completely saying one thing and doing another, and it is really infuriating to go back on its word like this! China obviously does not want a conflict between China and the Philippines to break out over Ren'ai Jiao, but the repeated provocations of the Philippines can only make us tougher. After the Chinese side released the recording, we saw that the Philippines first denied that there was a possibility of falsification in the recording, so that everyone should not believe it! Later, the Philippine Secretary of Defense bluntly said that there was no such agreement at all, and the Philippine Secretary of Defense also interrupted high-level interaction with the Chinese side, which also made it difficult to ease the current Sino-Philippine relations! Both the Philippine Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Philippine military have demanded the expulsion of the Chinese ambassador to the Philippines, and if the Philippines really dares to do so, then it means that it is entirely possible for China and the Philippines to start a war in the South China Sea!
The Philippines is well aware that it is not China's opponent, so it has constantly enlisted external forces to intervene in a vain attempt to use foreign forces to put pressure on China in order to achieve the goal of claiming more sovereignty! The US-Philippine military exercise chose to sink a retired Chinese-made warship 12 nautical miles away from the Philippines, and now it is deliberate, just to warn China not to mess around! The confrontation between China and the Philippines at Scarborough Shoal has led to the damage to Philippine ships, which has once again become the focus of Philippine hype, and the Philippines hopes to win the sympathy of more countries and hope that more countries can intervene in the South China Sea.
Ren'ai Jiao and Scarborough Shoal are the two most provocative waters in the Philippines, and the lesser-known Xianbin Jiao is likely to become a key target of provocation by the Philippines, because this reef is almost 60 kilometers away from Ren'ai Jiao, only 160 kilometers away from Palawan Island, and 100 kilometers away from Mischief Reef, where we have completed land reclamation. From the distance to the surrounding islands and reefs, we can see that the geographical location of Sembin Reef is very important, and it is also one of the most important islands and reefs in the Spratly Islands! Xianbin Reef is part of China's Nansha Islands, and China has indisputable sovereignty over Nansha Islands and its adjacent waters, and the Philippines has always claimed that Xianbin Jiao is Philippines', which is obviously unacceptable to us!
A large number of Chinese fishing boats often stop at Xianbin Reef, which is a very good location, but it is also a key area for Philippine coast guard ships and fishing boats to break into, and there are many confrontations between China and the Philippines here! And this time, China and the Philippines have reproduced a long confrontation at Sembin Reef, and this confrontation may be very long! From the satellite cloud image, we can see that China has dispatched more and more ships to the vicinity of Xianbin Reef, including coast guard ships, fishing boats and engineering vessels, all of which are surrounding the vicinity of Xianbin Reef, which has also quickly aroused great vigilance in the Philippines! The Philippines is afraid of China's land reclamation, and the Philippines does not want China to completely occupy Sembin Reef!
According to Reuters, the Philippines has deployed ships to the waters of Sembin Reef, accusing China of building "artificial islands" there. According to the Philippines, the presence of dozens of Chinese ships at Sembin Reef was "alarming," including research vessels and naval vessels. The Philippines is very worried about China's moves, and the Philippine Coast Guard dispatched a ship to monitor China's illegal activities in building so-called "artificial islands", which has also led to a prolonged standoff between Chinese and Philippine ships at Sembin Reef! But Xianbin Reef is originally part of our territory, we have the right to do anything here, the Philippines has no right to interfere, even if China and the Philippines confront here, the Philippines will not take any advantage!
The Philippines has anchored a ship at Sembin Reef to "capture and record the dumping of crushed coral on the sandbar", and Philippine coast guard ships have tracked and monitored dozens of Chinese vessels, keeping an eye on whether Chinese ships are destroying the marine environment and reclaiming islands here! The Philippine Coast Guard will lead marine scientists to the site to prove that China has indeed destroyed the original marine environment, and the Philippines is collecting evidence, and then it will definitely play it up, which is also in line with the current style of the Philippines!
As far as we are concerned, even if the Chinese and Philippine ships will have a long-term confrontation at Xianbin Reef, it does not mean that we will have any concessions! Sembin Reef is originally part of our territory, we have the right to do anything here, and the Philippines wants to stop us from reclaiming the island, which will only lead us to be tougher! In our territory, we have the final say, the more the Philippines stops it, the more we have to speed up the construction of the island, with the strength of the Philippines can not stop it at all! Even if the United States intervenes, it is powerless to stop it, after all, the South China Sea has nothing to do with the United States, and even if China and the Philippines go to war in the South China Sea, the United States will not be able to take advantage of it, and the United States will not be able to put itself in it for the sake of the Philippines!
