On June 17, when Philippine special forces tried to break into the mainland's Ren'ai Jiao, the mainland expelled it with only a coast guard force.
But in the confrontation between China and the United States in the South China Sea eight years ago, we gathered warships from all over the country in order to confront the United States.
Many PLA soldiers even wrote suicide notes, determined to sacrifice their lives for the country, so how was the confrontation between China and the United States in the South China Sea resolved at that time?
The Philippines seized the islands and reefs of the mainland
The Nansha Islands have been part of the mainland since ancient times, and our ancestors fished on these islands and reefs in the Nansha Islands.
The mainland has also named and measured these places, and a large number of documents and historical monuments about this area in the history of the mainland show that our Nansha Islands have immutable sovereignty.
When the People's Navy was first founded, our People's Navy was not strong enough for our warships to conduct regular patrols in this area, and neighboring Vietnam and the Philippines seized the opportunity to forcibly occupy a number of mainland islands in the Nansha Islands.
On March 14, 1988, in order to safeguard national sovereignty and territory, the mainland navy fought against the Vietnamese navy that had come to invade and occupy the islands and reefs of the mainland.
The Philippines not only forcibly occupied our Scarborough Shoal and other islands, but even designated some islands of the Nansha Islands as their so-called exclusive economic zone, and the reason why the Philippines is so fearless is because it has the support of the United States behind it.
In order to confront the Soviet Union and at the same time suppress the development of the mainland, the United States hoped to strengthen its influence in the Asia-Pacific region, so the United States instigated the Philippines to seize the islands on the mainland.
The United States has provided economic support and support for the Philippines through its great strength, and the Philippines has also received military assistance from the United States, which has made the Philippines even more rampant.
The Philippines has not only stationed troops on a number of islands in the Spratly Islands, but has even built military facilities on these islands in an attempt to occupy them for a long time.
In particular, in 2012, the Philippines detained 12 fishing boats on the mainland, seriously infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of mainland fishermen.
In response to this situation, the mainland immediately dispatched a large number of warships to the area where the incident occurred, and at the same time, the mainland demanded that the Philippines immediately release the mainland fishermen and demand that the Philippines withdraw from Scarborough Shoal.
At the strong demands of the mainland, the Philippines soon released the fishermen from the mainland and withdrew from Scarborough Shoal.
The mainland has finally taken back ownership of Scarborough Shoal, but the Philippines will not give up, and the Philippines has come up with a new trick at the behest of the United States.
South China Sea Arbitration
In 2013, the Philippines filed a complaint against the mainland in an international tribunal, claiming that China has no historical sovereignty over the Spratly Islands, a move by the Philippines in an attempt to legitimize its possession of China's Spratly islands and reefs through the so-called international tribunal.
With the help of the United States, the Philippines found five judges to conduct the trial, and in order to make its arbitration appear more formal and legitimate, the Philippines also collected information from various sources in an attempt to deny the mainland's ownership of the Nansha Islands.
The first hearing was held in The Hague in 2015, and since the arbitration was run by the Philippines and the United States, all the people involved in it were also related to them.
Therefore, this is an extremely unfair arbitration, and China will naturally not attend such an arbitration, especially since it is an indisputable fact that the Nansha Islands belong to the mainland, and we will not recognize it regardless of the outcome of the arbitration.
A week before the South China Sea arbitration case began, the U.S. side invited our State Councilor Dai Bingguo to attend a meeting on the South China Sea issue, and they said more than once that the outcome of the South China Sea arbitration was imminent, in fact, in order to get China to compromise and obtain relevant benefits in the South China Sea.
However, China is naturally not afraid of any threats, and State Councilor Dai Bingguo said that this is a piece of waste paper.
There is no doubt that the Philippines will win the arbitration case with the help of the United States, but the arbitration on July 12, 2016, not only denied the mainland's ownership of the Spratly Islands, but also did not recognize the mainland's nine-dash line.
Naturally, China will not compromise on such an outcome, so for a time the situation in the South China Sea has changed dramatically.
"War" is coming
The United States is very unhappy in the face of this hard-line attitude of the mainland, and you must know that the United States, as the world's number one hegemon, has long been accustomed to flaunting its military might on weekdays.
Therefore, they decided to use force to force the mainland to compromise, so the United States, under the leadership of its commander-in-chief in the Pacific, Harris, sent two major aircraft carrier groups to the South China Sea in a vain attempt to force us to agree to the outcome of the South China Sea arbitration.
At this time, the first aircraft carrier of the People's Liberation Army, the Liaoning, had just been launched not long ago, and it had not yet formed a complete combat capability.
Even so, we still dared to show our swords to the enemy, and the three major fleets of the mainland came to the South China Sea to hold military exercises, and more than 130 warships came to this area in unison, declaring to the enemy that we are not afraid of any threat.
At the same time, we have also deployed the mainland's Dongfeng series missiles in coastal areas, and the mainland's air force has also dispatched H-6K series bombers to patrol the South China Sea area non-stop.
Harris, commander of the US Pacific Fleet, even threatened to wipe out the mainland's navy, and for a time the tense atmosphere in the entire South China Sea intensified, and the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army wrote suicide notes.
They know that the time is coming when the country and the people need them, and a large number of good soldiers have been recalled from the localities to the army, and we are ready for war with the United States.
After that, the mainland released a photo through the media, and the release of this photo not only shocked the US military, but also accelerated its escape from the South China Sea shortly thereafter.
It turned out that when the mainland's H-6K bombers were patrolling the South China Sea, they discovered the hidden US aircraft carrier group and recorded their coordinates.
Through the collation of information on the US aircraft carrier group, the mainland has made public all the coordinates and other information of the US aircraft carrier group, which has also made the United States very afraid.
It is important to know that after receiving information from the US aircraft carrier group, the mainland's Dongfeng series missiles can lock on to the target and launch an attack on it.
Under these circumstances, in order not to be blown up by the mainland's Dongfeng series of missiles, the US aircraft carrier had no choice but to leave the South China Sea in disgrace.
The South China Sea arbitration is a farce in itself, and although the Philippines has the support of the United States, we are still not afraid, because what we want to protect is China's legitimate rights and interests and the territory of the motherland.
Even if we concentrate all our warships, it may not be enough to confront the two aircraft carrier groups of the United States, and if China and the United States go to war, the war may spread to the country, and even a third world war may break out as a result.
But even so, the People's Liberation Army still did not back down, because it was our territory that they were to defend, so they were determined to die and wrote a suicide note.
