Recently, domestic netizens have applauded the bold action of the China Coast Guard, expressing their firm support for the law enforcement action taken by the Philippine military vessel that illegally stormed the waters near Ren'ai Jiao.
Through the on-site law enforcement video released by the Global Times, we can clearly see the strength and decisiveness of this action, which is shocking.
According to the exclusive video obtained by the Global Times reporter on June 18, the Philippine side has adopted a new strategy in this illegal transportation operation.
They have abandoned the wooden Yunaza in favor of the Philippine military's hard-hulled inflatable boats, which are faster, more maneuverable and more capable of breaking through, as well as specially modified steel transport vessels.
The steel transports have been reinforced, with steel plates on the front windshield and portside windows of the wheelhouse, apparently to better resist possible Chinese measures such as water cannons.
It can be clearly seen from the footage that the Philippine army's supply ship is actually equipped with machine guns, which undoubtedly shows its obvious provocation and confrontational intentions.
However, in the face of the solemn warnings and compliance regulations of the Chinese coast guard vessels, the Philippine military supply ship did not choose to slow down or turn around and evacuate, but instead accelerated its sailing, which is really surprising.
In the course of law enforcement, the Philippine supply vessel made many dangerous moves, trying to cross the port side of the Chinese fishing vessel operating normally at Ren'ai Jiao, and even did not hesitate to have a dangerous close encounter with the Chinese coast guard vessel.
However, the Chinese coast guard has not been swayed by the provocative actions of the Philippine military.
They acted quickly and decisively, dispatching rubber boats and assault boats to forcibly drive away the Philippine army's supply boats in a flanking manner.
This action not only demonstrates the efficiency and professionalism of the China Coast Guard, but also demonstrates its firm determination to safeguard the country's maritime rights and interests.
In addition, the Chinese Coast Guard law enforcement officers bravely boarded the Philippine army's hard-hulled inflatable boat for inspection, which is undoubtedly a powerful response to the Philippine provocation.
During the inspection, law enforcement officers seized military supplies such as body armor, further revealing the illegal intentions of the Philippine side.
According to the Philippine side, eight automatic rifles were confiscated by the Chinese side, which is undoubtedly a powerful blow to the Philippine side's provocative behavior.
After watching this video, I had two "expected" and two "unexpected" feelings.
First of all, the first "expected" is that the provocations of the Philippine side will inevitably escalate.
This judgment is based on the June 15 promulgation by the China Coast Guard of the Provisions on Administrative Law Enforcement Procedures for Coast Guard Agencies.
The rules specify severe measures to combat acts that endanger national security and interests, including the detention of foreigners for up to 60 days on suspicion of intrusion into waters claimed by China.
For the Philippine side, which has always carried out provocations in the South China Sea, this new regulation has undoubtedly had a great deterrent effect on it.
They have to defy the law in order to continue their illegal acts, otherwise it would mean the tacit failure of all previous provocations.
Therefore, even though the Philippines knows that its own power is far from China, it still tries to use the support of the United States to counter China.
As expected, the day after the "Regulations" came into effect, the Philippines could not wait to launch another provocation and blatantly violate its previous commitments.
Second, the second "expected" is that the Chinese side is fully prepared to respond to any provocation by the Philippine side.
Since Marcos Jr. took office as president of the Philippines, the Philippines, with the instigation and support of the United States, has continuously challenged China's sovereignty in the South China Sea.
As the international situation continues to change, the United States is more eager to use the Philippines to provoke a conflict between China and the Philippines in order to achieve the goal of diverting the pressure it is facing in Europe and the Middle East.
However, in the face of this tense situation, the Chinese side has shown a high degree of vigilance and full preparation.
By promulgating the Provisions on Administrative Law Enforcement Procedures of the China Coast Guard, China has provided a solid legal foundation for the China Coast Guard to defend its rights and rights, and has given it more means and powers for its law enforcement activities in the South China Sea.
Because of this, when the Philippine military boat tried to carry out an illegal transportation operation in the early morning of the 17th, it was quickly and effectively intercepted by the Chinese coast guard, so that it had no chance to escape.
However, what is "unexpected" is the high degree of resoluteness and decisiveness shown by the China Coast Guard in safeguarding national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. In the past, when faced with provocations by the Philippine side, the Chinese coast guard usually responded with relatively mild measures such as "warning and interdiction".
However, in this operation, they not only strictly followed the legal procedures to warn and block, but also implemented more stringent control measures such as boarding inspections and forced evictions for the first time.
This series of actions undoubtedly made domestic netizens feel excited and proud.
It is worth mentioning that in the face of the strict law enforcement of the Chinese coast guard, the Philippine military personnel were decisively seized, all the guns illegally carried by the Philippine army were confiscated, and the ships used for provocations were also damaged and completely lost their operational power.
This series of decisive and effective actions caught the Philippine military by surprise, and even though they reinforced the ships in advance, they could not escape the close scrutiny and crackdown of the Chinese coast guard.
The setting of this precedent undoubtedly sends a clear signal to the outside world: any attempt to provoke China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests will be severely cracked down.
Finally, another "unexpected" thing is the extreme fragility and vulnerability shown by the Philippine side in the actual confrontation.
According to Philippine media reports, the operation was actually led by the Armed Forces of the Philippines and secretly supported by the Philippine Coast Guard, which even included the elite forces of the Philippine Navy's special operations group.
However, in the course of the actual confrontation, these so-called special forces did not dare to make any resistance, let alone shoot to resist, under the tight encirclement and strong pressure of the Chinese coast guard.
This incident has thoroughly exposed the Philippine side's conspiracy to threaten China through maritime operations, public opinion building, and diplomatic pressure, and has fully exposed its incompetence and vulnerability in the actual confrontation.
Based on the above, we can see that the Philippines is far from being able to compete with China in terms of compliance with laws and regulations, the demonstration of comprehensive strength, and the performance of psychological resilience.
China, on the other hand, is fully prepared and has a response strategy to deal with any possible challenges and threats.
We have always maintained our sincerity and desire to resolve the issue through peaceful negotiations, but at the same time, we are ready to resolutely defend our territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests from any infringement.
The decisive action of the Chinese coast guard not only made the Philippine special forces helpless and lost face, but also successfully found out the bottom line and strength level of the Philippine side.
Looking ahead, we have every reason to believe that the China Coast Guard will take more diverse and robust countermeasures to resolutely safeguard China's core interests and maritime rights and interests from any infringement.
