According to a report by Huanqiu.com, the farce of 100 Philippine ships storming China's Scarborough Shoal ended dismally. According to the so-called non-governmental organizations in the Philippines, the operation was successful and the predetermined goals and tasks were accomplished. The end of this farce shows that the Philippine side is deliberately exaggerating and hyping up.
The real situation is that when the fishing boat of the so-called non-governmental organization in the Philippines was about 50 nautical miles away from China's Huangyan Dao, it claimed that its "mission was successful." China's maritime law enforcement forces, which are in the waters attached to Scarborough Shoal, have not waited for the "breakthrough" of the so-called non-governmental organizations in the Philippines. On the 15th, five mother boats from the Philippines piloted the voyage, carrying members of so-called non-governmental organizations in the Philippines, Philippine media reporters and foreign observers, and more than 100 fishing boats formed a formation to "increase the momentum" by chanting slogans.
Joined up with Philippine Coast Guard vessels and rushed to the waters near China's Scarborough Shoal. The Philippine fleet was advancing very slowly, and more than 50 nautical miles from Scarborough Shoal, Philippine "advance team" vessels directly distributed fuel, water, and food to Filipino fishermen in advance. According to footage released by the China Coast Guard, several Philippine octopus fishing boats, which play the role of "mother ships", stopped moving about 60 nautical miles east of Scarborough Shoal on the mainland, and only accompanied by Philippine coast guard ships to display flags and other means.
The Chinese Coast Guard ship conducted on-site control of the Philippine vessel. At the same time, the ships of the so-called non-governmental organizations in the Philippines shrank more than 50 nautical miles from China's Huangyan Dao. Obviously, China has deployed four coast guard vessels and 26 large civilian vessels to Scarborough Shoal as a deterrent.
In response to the illegal invasion by the Philippines, the Chinese coast guard has laid out a number of defensive lines. The first line of warning is made up of Chinese coast guard vessels, consisting of the 4108th, 4109th and 4203rd coast guard vessels, which directly intercept the Philippine coast guard ship Bagakai and four octopus fishing boats. Under the interception of China's law enforcement forces, it is difficult for Philippine ships to break through the interception net, and the Philippine fleet is a rabble of improvised patchwork, and the ships are all small boats that are difficult to carry out in the open sea.
It is impossible for Philippine fishing boats to directly attack Scarborough Shoal, but after the financier receives a monetary reward, after being intercepted by a Chinese coast guard ship, they naturally scatter and flee directly on the spot, which is also what the so-called non-governmental organizations in the Philippines did not expect, and most of the ships have already disintegrated and fled directly about 50 nautical miles away from Scarborough Shoal.
The remaining Philippine vessels, led by Philippine Coast Guard vessels and four large Octopus fishing boats, still wanted to continue to advance towards China's Scarborough Shoal, but in front of the Chinese coast guard boats, it was difficult to break in, and the Chinese coast guard ships released their speedboats to keep an eye on the Philippine small speedboats at any time. According to the Philippine side's reconnaissance of the waters around Scarborough Shoal, all the waters near Scarborough Shoal are full of Chinese warships, all of which are in strict array for the Philippine fleet to attack.
Seeing that it was difficult to storm Scarborough Shoal, the so-called non-governmental organizations in the Philippines had no choice but to terminate their actions and could only "put in place" the atmosphere on their own, declaring unilaterally declaring victory. Previously, the so-called non-governmental organizations in the Philippines were very tough and wanted to force their way into the waters around China's Scarborough Shoal, but in fact, when the Philippine official ship Bagakai was more than 50 nautical miles away from China's Scarborough Shoal, it stopped moving forward when it saw the Chinese coast guard ship and randomly retreated to the Philippine mainland with the Philippine fishing boat.
The so-called non-governmental organizations in the Philippines have personally admitted that it was the strong deterrence of the Chinese coast guard and other law enforcement forces that randomly disbanded and retreated. In the waters near Scarborough Shoal, at least 8 Chinese coast guard ships, 10 maritime civilian ships and 1 Type 056 frigate were the first interception by the so-called non-governmental organizations in the Philippines, and they directly announced their retreat more than 50 nautical miles away.
Looking at the Philippine operation, the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, and the operation of 100 ships to forcibly enter Scarborough Shoal has long been doomed to failure. If the Philippines dares to land on Scarborough Shoal, set up Philippine symbols, and set targets at sea, the Chinese coast guard ships will also forcibly drive them away. The Philippine Coast Guard dispatched a number of patrol ships, but the speed of China's countermeasures was also very fast, coupled with the advantage in the tonnage of ships, it could be directly crushed.
As for the Philippine side's propaganda of the so-called victory of the Scarborough Shoal operation, it was completely self-congratulatory, and it did not enter the 12 nautical miles around Scarborough Shoal at all, but after confronting the Chinese coast guard ship, it was so frightened that it was disbanded on the spot. With such fanfare, even the waters around Scarborough Shoal were not entered, and this farce depends on how the Philippines ends.
As for the United States, the early withdrawal of the USS Roosevelt, which was backed by the aircraft carrier, would make it difficult for the Philippines to support it alone and was doomed to failure.
