# The Philippine organization said that it had completed the storming of Scarborough Shoal#
On May 15, a Philippine NGO called "This is Our" gathered a group of so-called "local fishermen" and drove two wooden fishing boats to the waters near China's Scarborough Shoal for a three-day "storming of Scarborough Shoal." They were mixed in with a cargo ship, and their original purpose was to go fishing. But soon, the cargo ship was dissuaded away by the Chinese coast guard. Subsequently, the two fishing boats remained stranded in the waters near Scarborough Shoal until May 18, when they were taken away by the Chinese coast guard.
Many domestic netizens said that there was an indescribable taste.
After all, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, a traditional Chinese festival, there are two wooden fishing boats and a cargo ship floating on the sea, which is quite emotional.
Take advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival to make trouble and make a mistake
According to incomplete statistics, more than 100 people broke into the waters near Scarborough Shoal this time.
Among these people, there are more than a dozen foreigners: citizens of the United States, Britain, Australia, Canada, the Philippines and other countries.
Some of them took selfies, some did yoga, and some held the national flag as a parasol.
It can be seen that the organizers are very attentive and specially invite foreign reporters to come for interviews.
But these foreign journalists don't seem to buy it. A reporter from The New York Times said that his media did not invite anyone to the event.
What's even more interesting is that the founder of this organization, a Filipino named Jerome Valencia, introduced himself as an American.
He wrote in English on Twitter: "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival (traditional Chinese festival), we just go fishing in the South China Sea, just like Chinese festival......
But the tweet he posted only had 70 likes. Among them, 69 were from local Filipino netizens.
Judging from his profile, he has served as president of the American Peace and Solidarity Alliance, spokesman for the Global Anti-War Congress, and other positions. However, these positions are fictitious.
Currently, the group has been banned on social media. But it was too late, and the whole world knew about their tricks.
Using the Dragon Boat Festival to make trouble is essentially stealing chickens and rice.
Because in the eyes of the Chinese, the Dragon Boat Festival is used to commemorate Qu Yuan. If you see someone making trouble on a day like this, you will only get angrier.
What's more: Scarborough Shoal belongs to China in the first place.
As early as 2012, Scarborough Shoal was included in the regular law enforcement patrol range of China's maritime surveillance and law enforcement vessels. The waters around Scarborough Shoal have always been China's territorial waters.
Therefore, whether in law or in terms of historical facts, Scarborough Shoal does not represent any international dispute at all.
However, this organization deliberately distorted the facts, and even did not hesitate to pretend to be foreign journalists to infiltrate China's territorial waters to make trouble.
Zhang Feng, a professor at the University of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and vice president of the Institute of Asia-Pacific and Global Strategy, told reporters that there is a purpose behind all actions. For a small country like the Philippines, coveting certain islands in the South China Sea is a realistic option.
But here's the problem: the islands themselves aren't worth much!
Why do these countries have to come and seize it?
The United States and Vietnam and other Western countries are hacking?
The idea of the Philippines occupying Scarborough Shoal is not unfounded.
As early as April 2021, when the United States, Britain and Australia formed an alliance, the Philippines jumped up and down to express strong dissatisfaction and concern.
At that time, in order to win over Southeast Asian countries such as the Philippines to contain China, Biden promised to give these countries a lot of economic aid and military support.
For example, military aid contracts to the Philippines are worth $25 billion, including $13.5 billion in outstanding loans and at least $10 billion in follow-up support service contracts. There is also $1.5 million in monthly humanitarian assistance.
The United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia also plan to provide a series of support to ASEAN countries: up to $1 billion in aid to Indo-Pacific countries, and the establishment of a new defense center in Singapore, among other things.
In order to further draw the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries to contain China, the United States has also decided to stop continuing to sell high-end weapons to Japan and instead give priority to supplying these Southeast Asian countries.
All these acts have seriously violated the original strategic intention of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region.
In this regard, the Chinese Foreign Ministry directly pointed out that the nuclear submarine cooperation between the United States, Britain and Australia is a "naked act of nuclear proliferation".
China strongly urges the countries concerned to immediately stop all acts that lead to tension in the region and prevent new separatist confrontations in the region.
But it is clear that the Philippines is just a pawn in the chess game of the United States and other Western countries.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said during a visit to the Philippines in February: "The U.S. 'Indo-Pacific strategy' will not exclude any country...... Including China. But it is not directed at the government of the People's Republic of China...... The United States will help its partners build defense capacity."
It can be said that the attitude of the United States towards the South China Sea is very clear: How you jump is your business, and I just want to stir up the situation.
After all, over the past few years, the United States has been pushing for the negotiation process of a protocol on delimitation between ASEAN countries and China. Despite the delay in progress, the United States has no intention of reining in.
In addition to using the Philippines to disgust China, the United States has also asked Japan and Australia to join in the fun.
On December 2 last year, the United States, Japan, India, and Australia held a joint naval exercise in the western Pacific. In addition to the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and the U.S. military stationed in Guam, a naval fleet from Australia, a naval fleet from India, and an amphibious force from the United States participated in the exercises.
According to Japan's Kyodo News Agency, if the dispute over the northern territories escalates into a military conflict, it could lead to chaos in the region. Therefore, Japan and the United States hope to resolve the dispute at the diplomatic level and ensure Japan's "self-defense" through military force.
Australia, which is active on the South China Sea issue, is also doing a lot of shady things behind the scenes:
They have continuously sent reconnaissance planes and warships to the waters near the Nansha Islands to monitor China. even partnered with the United States and the United Kingdom to hold joint military exercises to show off their strength; In addition, it has secretly signed a "defense agreement" with the United States to deploy a combat-capable naval contingent in the Indo-Pacific region.....
As long as you can follow behind the Chinese ass, it's disgusting. As long as the United States can return to the position of the leader in Asia, it will help other countries to step on it.
It is no exaggeration to say: today's US-British-Australian combination is even more terrifying than the Manchu Qing Dynasty back then!
China needs to come up with hard measures
Faced with this situation, China must do something in response!
On the morning of May 18, Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said in response to inquiries that this incident was a sudden incident caused by illegal infringement, and the relevant parties should let the ship leave China's waters as soon as possible.
At the same time, some experts said: Once the United States and Japan intensify their contradictions in the South China Sea or even break out into a military conflict, the consequences will be unimaginable! At that time, everyone will really regret it!
After all, at the moment when the Russian-Ukrainian war is in full swing, the world's two major camps are in tension; The local tyrants in the Middle East have also gone to Europe to burn money for tourism; The global economy is in a state of gloom again...... Under these circumstances, any war would have serious consequences that were difficult to predict.
