Tensions between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea continue, and no one thought that the Philippines would fight to the end, which would not have happened during the Duterte era! After Marcos Jr. came to power, we saw that the Philippines has completely fallen to the United States, not only providing the United States with a number of military bases, which are very close to the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait, apparently deliberately! The Philippines is not only pandering to the United States, but also hopes to use the power of the United States to help the Philippines claim sovereignty! The Philippines knows very well that it cannot compete with China on its own, and can only use external forces to achieve the purpose of condemnation! The Philippines has continued to provoke Ren'ai Jiao, Scarborough Shoal and other surrounding islands and reefs, and has also continued to attract external forces to conduct military exercises and jointly patrol the South China Sea.
The confrontation between Chinese and Philippine ships at Scarborough Shoal caused damage to Philippine ships, which is also the Philippines' own fault, and the Philippines has hyped up in a vain attempt to win more sympathy and get more countries to intervene in the South China Sea! The Philippines is determined to provoke to the end, not only frequently extending its hand to Ren'ai Jiao and Scarborough Shoal, but also Xianbin Jiao has also become a sensitive sea area where China and the Philippines may conflict at any time! The Philippines sent coast guard ships to monitor the Chinese vessel's every move at Xianbin Reef, slandering everywhere that China was destroying the existing ecological environment and reclaiming islands, and the Philippines also sent divers to find evidence of the destruction. Xianbin Reef is originally part of our territory, we have the right to do anything here, and this move by the Philippines will only make Sino-Philippine relations more tense and will also lead to confrontation between Chinese and Philippine ships here!
Filipino NGOs have summoned a group of so-called "local fishermen" to the waters around China's Huangyan Dao, intending to use the "fishermen" as "meat shields" to promote a new round of infringement actions in the South China Sea, which has also attracted great attention! According to the spectacular images taken by satellite cloud images, as many as 100 fishing boats organized by the Philippines went straight to the waters of Scarborough Shoal, which is obviously prepared, and the Philippines wants to denounce more sovereignty on Scarborough Shoal! Although the Philippine media said that these fishing boats were organized by non-governmental organizations, if the Philippine authorities did not authorize them, they obviously did not have the courage to do so! A large number of Filipino fishing boats are heading straight for Scarborough Shoal, and the intensity of such a provocation is still very large, after all, Chinese and Philippine ships have only had confrontations in the waters of Scarborough Shoal!
More than 200 people participated, and as many as 100 fishing boats set off from the fishing port of Masinlok in the northern Philippines, planning to rush into the waters near Scarborough Shoal. Philippine government official ships will arrive at the predetermined sea area in advance, and then Philippine fishing boats will go to the waters of Scarborough Shoal in two ways, and Philippine ships will also carry journalists, social activists, etc., just to hype up, and may deliberately touch porcelain!
The Philippines' provocation at Scarborough Shoal will continue, and this time it sent a large number of fishing boats to Scarborough Shoal, which is deliberate! Whether it is the Philippine military or the Philippine Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they have basically cut off high-level contacts with the Chinese side, and the Philippines wants to expel the Chinese ambassador to the Philippines. As for the United States, it is obviously happy to see more tense relations between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea, so that the United States can better intervene in the South China Sea and use the Philippines to achieve the goal of containing China!
With about 100 ships on their second civilian mission to the so-called "West Philippine Sea" and the installation of markers or buoys at Scarborough Shoal, we are clearly not going to sit idly by, and we are ready to confront Philippine ships! Ray Powell, a former U.S. Air Force officer and former defense commissioner, bluntly said that China is sending a large force to blockade Scarborough Shoal, with at least four coast guard ships and 26 large maritime militia ships blockading. This also means that China will have at least 30 ships in combat readiness in the waters off Scarborough Shoal, including coast guard ships, fishing boats and warships, and we want to ensure that Philippine fishing boats do not intrude on our territory!
The combat readiness of more than 30 Chinese warships is to tell the Philippines not to mess around at Scarborough Shoal, otherwise it will bear the consequences! In the face of national sovereignty and territorial integrity, we will not make any concessions, even if we do not hesitate to fight! Once China and the Philippines really go to war in the South China Sea, the Philippines itself will only be unlucky in the end! The Philippines is vainly trying to use the United States to put pressure on China, but even if the United States enters the war here, it will not take any advantage, and the United States will not put itself in it for the sake of the Philippines.
