introduction
On May 15, Huanqiu.com released a video of the Chinese coast guard shouting a warning to the Philippine side, in which the Philippine illegal ships insisted on invading the waters under the jurisdiction of the mainland, and the Philippine side completely ignored the mainland's shouts to dissuade and warn.
Based on this, the China Coast Guard will continue to carry out rights protection and law enforcement activities in the waters under the jurisdiction of the mainland in accordance with the law, and resolutely safeguard the territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests of mainland countries.
Prior to that, more than 200 Filipino people gathered in the town of Philippine Simrock, boarded five fishing boats, and then joined the Philippine Coast Guard at sea and sailed towards the waters around Scarborough Shoal on the mainland.
The mainland coast guard is on standby for this, and a number of Chinese coast guard ships of different tonnages have already carried out tasks in the waters off Huangyan Dao, and are ready to intercept and intercept this so-called "civilian fleet" escort.
The tense situation at Scarborough Shoal and the scene of the confrontation between Chinese and African ships have also been exposed, which is quite shocking.
The Philippines is not dead in its heart for Scarborough Shoal
The Philippines and the United States will conduct the 2024 "shoulder to shoulder" joint military exercise in April this year, and this military exercise will last from April 22 to May 10, lasting up to 19 days, and the scale of this joint military exercise is also quite large, and this joint military exercise is also a reflection of the escalation of military relations between the United States and the Philippines in the past two years.
And in this military exercise, the United States also deployed an intermediate-range missile system in the Philippines, which is reported to be the first such behavior since the Cold War.
In this regard, a spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense of the mainland China said: We are resolutely opposed to the US deployment of intermediate-range missiles in the Asia-Pacific region, because after all, this behavior has seriously threatened the security of regional countries and undermined regional peace and stability.
After all, the United States is far away in North America, and the Asia-Pacific region is relatively far away from the United States, and the United States will be limited by distance even if it wants to reach out, and the United States has always regarded China as its competitor and wants to understand China's development, so it wants to win over China's neighboring countries.
If the United States is going to deploy medium-range missile systems on Luzon Island in the Philippines this time, it will have a certain impact on China's Taiwan Strait, after all, China's Taiwan Strait region and the Philippines are across the sea and are quite close to each other, and it is very likely that the United States has taken this into account in this act.
After all, before that, the United States had repeatedly refrained from interfering in China's Taiwan Strait issue, and had also interfered in the Taiwan issue many times, and the United States had always wavered in its attitude toward the Taiwan Strait issue.
At the same time, the mainland is also considering the Philippine country to avoid the Philippine country from luring wolves into the house, after all, the United States has done a lot of things like this.
And during this joint military exercise between the United States and the Philippines, it also sank a Chinese-made Philippine military ship.
In response to this incident, the reporter also asked the spokesperson of the mainland Foreign Ministry, to which the mainland spokesman said that any military exercise should not be aimed at a third party or harm the interests of a third party, and that the countries concerned should stop violating rights and provocations at sea, stop inciting confrontation, and do more things conducive to promoting regional peace and stability.
Shortly after the joint military exercises between the United States and the Philippines, on May 15, the Philippines began to gather hundreds of people and use five private ships to approach the waters of China's Scarborough Shoal and continue to provoke in China's waters.
And this is not the first time that the Philippines has made such a provocation.
Prior to this, there had been disputes between the Philippines and the mainland over the South China Sea, and the Philippines continued to provoke in the South China Sea.
As early as 1999, the Philippines illegally "beached" a warship at Ren'ai Jiao in China, and also tried to expand its scale and repair and reinforce it, ignoring the repeated warnings of the Chinese coast guard, and had no choice but to use water cannons to warn it.
Since then, the Philippines has instigated a public opinion offensive against China on China's use of water cannons, which is completely a misrepresentation to smear China and wants to use public opinion to obtain benefits, but the Philippines has never thought that China's use of water cannons is only to serve as a warning, and wants to drive away the Philippine ships that illegally invaded the mainland and become businessmen, but if it is the United States or other countries, the means may be more intense, and I have to say that the Philippines has completely failed China's good intentions.
The reason why the Philippines is doing this is nothing more than to gain more benefits on the issue of disputes over islands and reefs in the South China Sea, and at the same time, it also wants to show goodwill in front of the United States and realize military and security cooperation with the United States.
However, no matter how provocative the Philippines is, it cannot change China's determination to uphold the territorial integrity of the motherland, and as long as other countries want to illegally invade any part of the mainland, the mainland will defend it to the end, which is the dignity and bottom line of an independent country.
As an independent country, it should respect the territorial sovereignty and integrity of other countries, and at the same time, it will uphold its own territorial sovereignty from being infringed upon.
This time, the Philippines once again challenged China's territorial sovereignty and attempted to forcibly land near China's Scarborough Shoal, and the Chinese coast guard will also defend it to the end.
The Philippine fleet of 100 sailors headed for Scarborough Shoal
According to relevant reports, the Philippine non-governmental organization called "This is Ours" organized 200 so-called local fishermen to go to Scarborough Shoal on the mainland in five boats, and three Philippine ships escorted them.
And according to the report of the "Global Times", this so-called non-governmental organization actually has perennial sponsorship from US institutions behind it, and often stirs up trouble and stirs up trouble on the mainland's issue, and this time the organization's behavior also exposes the US interference in the South China Sea issue behind the scenes.
Faced with such a situation, how could the mainland coast guard sit idly by, and when they discovered that Philippine ships were constantly approaching the mainland waters, they began to closely monitor and shouted to warn them to leave quickly.
Moreover, China has repeatedly stressed that Scarborough Shoal has always been China's inherent territory, and that China has irrefutable sovereignty over Scarborough Shoal and its adjacent waters, and that the Philippines is provoking China by ignoring China's territorial sovereignty.
The mainland has also reacted to the Philippines' disregard for the Chinese coast guard's behavior and made adequate preparations near Scarborough Shoal.
Colin Powell, a former U.S. military officer, said on social media that China had sent a strong team to blockade the waters of Scarborough Shoal, and said that in a day, there would be four Chinese coast guard ships and 26 large "maritime militia ships" to blockade Scarborough Shoal.
However, China has always adhered to the theme of peaceful development and respected other countries, but if it violates China's territorial sovereignty and integrity, then China will also safeguard its own national sovereignty.
It is also wishful thinking for the Philippines to rely on the United States to force lies, and China will defend its sovereignty over Scarborough Shoal to the end.
