Not long ago, in the face of the Philippines' repeated frenzied provocations at Ren'ai Jiao in the South China Sea, China's coast guard heroically stepped forward and severely dealt with the Philippines' misconduct. In the process of "contact" between the two sides, the operation of the Philippine special forces to carry out armed provocations was successfully thwarted by our side, and Philippine ships also collided in the process. China's coast guard has responded calmly, followed rules and regulations, successfully safeguarded the sacred sovereignty and dignity of the motherland, dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Philippines' illegal provocations, and won a brilliant victory, which is very admirable.
However, what people never expected was that the Philippine side would go so far as to make a backslash and not only wantonly smear our legitimate behavior, but also shamelessly make so-called "claims" against our side. According to sources from the Armed Forces of the Philippines, the Philippine side has demanded about 60 million pesos, or about $1 million in economic compensation, from the Philippine side. In addition, the Philippine side also demanded that our side "return" the American-made rifles carried by the Philippine special forces that had been seized earlier.
I have to say that the Philippine side's request is really ridiculous! You must know that Ren'ai Jiao, which the Philippines has brazenly launched a provocation, has been an indisputable and inseparable part of the mainland since ancient times, and the Philippines has illegally "beached" here for more than 20 years, which has itself caused serious damage to the marine ecological environment of Ren'ai Jiao, according to statistics, over the years, Filipino personnel illegally staying in Ren'ai Jiao have discharged more than 5,000 tons of domestic sewage and metal sewage! In addition, the Philippine side had also illegally stolen and destroyed the fishing nets that our fishermen had worked so hard to lay at Ren'ai Jiao, and also caused serious losses to our fishermen. In addition, the responsibility for the losses caused by the Philippine side this time lies entirely with the Philippines itself, and it was the Philippine side that deliberately dispatched special forces to provoke first, and in the end, the losses completely belonged to the Philippines itself, and the so-called "claim" demand can be said to be completely untenable!
China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has responded to the Philippine side's actions, and China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has firmly stated that China's "rights protection and law enforcement are legitimate and lawful, and the Philippines should bear the consequences for its infringements." It can be seen that our side has clearly pointed out that the matter is completely caused by the "infringement" of the Philippines, and our actions are completely justified, so all the consequences should also be borne by the Philippines itself!
