introduction
The Nansha Islands are located in the southern waters of the South China Sea, and the Nansha Islands have always been China's territory, but due to various historical reasons, there are not many islands in China's hands, and the rest of the islands are occupied by neighboring countries of other countries.
As the first country to develop and survey Nanhai Zhudao, China not only has sovereignty over Nansha Islands, but also has the right to develop and utilize Nansha Islands, and China has not used force to intervene in other countries' illegal occupations, but has always appealed that Nansha Islands have always been China's territory, and China's sovereignty over Nansha Islands is indisputable, but other countries can achieve cooperative development in the South China Sea through friendly consultations and negotiations.
However, some countries ignore China's appeal, and also want to further occupy China's islands and reefs in Nansha and infringe on China's territorial sovereignty; of course, in the face of these acts of infringing on the mainland's sovereignty, the mainland will not sit idly by, as long as other countries do something, the mainland will take back one, and this is how the mainland has taken back the illegally occupied islands and reefs from the Philippines in the past 30 years.
China's sovereignty in the South China Sea is inviolable
China has always stressed that the Spratly Islands are China's inherent territory, but some countries have always had ill intentions, such as Vietnam and the Philippines.
In 1956, Vietnam invaded the Nansha Islands on the mainland and raised the Vietnamese flag on the islands, claiming sovereignty over the Nansha Islands.
However, Vietnam did not take it seriously, but became even more arrogant, and extended its claws to other islands in the South China Sea, and even changed the name of the Nansha Islands to "Changsha Islands", and the mainland has always advocated taking back sovereignty by diplomatic means for Vietnam's provocations and violations, and in 1987 the mainland has decided to establish a marine observatory in the South China Sea.
However, Vietnam intervened in the construction of an observatory on the mainland, and sent people to confront China, while also mobilizing troops to occupy the islands in the Spratly Islands with impunity.
In 1988, Vietnam's two armed transport ships went straight to Fiery Cross Reef in the South China Sea, and the mainland naval escort blocked it, and then after various confrontations, on March 14, Vietnamese and Chinese fighters clashed, and the Vietnamese army took the lead in shooting, wounding mainland personnel, and then the two sides began to fight, in a very short time, the Vietnamese fleet was defeated, and finally China sank two Vietnamese naval ships at the cost of one injury, and recovered 9 islands, this battle China declared the inviolability of sovereignty in the South China Sea.
In 1956, the Philippines opened its eyes and told nonsense, believing that some islands in the Nansha Islands did not belong, so it took the initiative to include them in its own national territory, but they did not know that these islands were ownery, and they were on China's charts, and they continued to invade the Nansha Islands since then.
Ignoring China's sovereignty over the Spratly Islands, it forcibly annexed some of the islands to its own territory, and also targeted Scarborough Shoal.
In 1999, the Philippines also illegally "beached" at Ren'ai Jiao on the grounds of technical failure, and although in 2003 the Philippine leaders said that they would not carry out new facilities at Ren'ai Jiao, more than 20 years have passed, the Philippines has never towed away the warship that ran aground on Ren'ai Jiao, and it wants to have other plans.
However, the mainland coast guard stopped it in time and warned it with water cannons, saying that China's actions are reasonable and lawful, and that they are safeguarding China's territorial sovereignty and integrity, and that Ren'ai Jiao has always been China's territory, which is irrefutable.
In 1995, there was also the "Mischief Reef" incident between China and the Philippines, which is an atoll of the Nansha Islands and has an extremely important strategic position, when the Philippine government expressed strong opposition to China's construction of buildings on Mischief Reef and accused China of illegally invading the Philippines' sovereign territory in the South China Sea.
The mainland spokesman explained and responded to the Philippine government's accusations, but the Philippine government directly chose to ignore them and also transferred fighter jets to the Spratly Islands.
In addition, a large number of reporters were organized to go to Mischief Reef by boat and helicopter to conduct so-called interviews, which the mainland blocked and dealt with them, and then the Philippines also asked the United States for help, but all the actions of the Philippines ended in nothing.
Eventually, China built a building on Mischief Reef, making it a permanent outpost of the People's Republic of China.
This time, the Philippines still does not recognize the reality, and wants to provoke China's sovereignty over the Spratly Islands, and also wants to forcibly invade and occupy Scarborough Shoal.
It can also be found from history that Scarborough Shoal has always been China's inherent territory, and the Philippines never raised any objection to the ownership of Scarborough Shoal before 1997, but because of oil and gas resources, the Philippines had bad ideas.
In 2009, it shamelessly included Scarborough Shoal and some islands and reefs of the Nansha Islands into Philippine territory, and in 2012, it provoked the Scarborough Shoal incident for no reason, illegally arresting and detaining Chinese fishermen and fishing boats engaged in normal operations.
In the aftermath of the Scarborough Shoal incident, the mainland quickly dispatched maritime surveillance and fishery administration and law enforcement vessels to Scarborough Shoal to defend sovereignty and rescue the arrested Chinese fishermen.
After many representations, the Philippine government's actions are completely in violation of the United Nations Convention on the Sea and completely negate China's territorial sovereignty in the South China Sea, which is shameful and malicious.
Moreover, the proposed Scarborough Shoal is the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines, which is also an act that distorts the facts and does not respect China's territorial sovereignty, and Scarborough Shoal has always been China's inherent territory and is sacrosanct, and the Philippines is also slapping itself in the face by such an act.
Over the years, the Philippines has begun to have friction with China over the Scarborough Shoal issue, and this is inseparable from the instigation of the United States.
In 2023, the Philippines claimed and condemned China for erecting barriers in the waters near Scarborough Shoal to prevent Filipino fishermen from fishing and livelihoods, but did not say a word about the Philippines' illegal invasion of China's Scarborough Shoal.
But facts are facts, will not change because of one or two sentences, Scarborough Shoal is China's territory, this is an indisputable fact, no matter how much the Philippines does, it can not change, on May 15 this year, the Philippines once again sent a so-called non-governmental organization to try to illegally land on Scarborough Shoal, this time China was not polite, directly sent warships and fishing boats to blockade and intercept.
epilogue
It is an indisputable fact that the Nansha Islands have always been China's inherent territory, and if China wants to do something, then China will not hesitate to defend the territorial sovereignty and integrity of the motherland.
