The Chinese side is no longer used to it, and the Philippines has admitted that it has failed to resupply the warship illegally beached at Ren'ai Jiao.
On the evening of June 17, local time, the Philippine official statement said that the Philippine side's resupply activities for its illegal "beached" warship at Ren'ai Jiao failed to be carried out as planned due to the "illegal, offensive and barbaric" interference of the Chinese coast guard.
On the same day, the China Coast Guard reported that the Philippines violated its commitment and dispatched one replenishment ship and two inflatable boats to illegally intrude into the waters of Ren'ai Jiao in China's Nansha Islands, in an attempt to break through the warning line of the Chinese coast guard ships by force and forcibly deliver supplies to the illegal "beached" warships by means of dangerous approaches and deliberate collisions. The China Coast Guard has taken compulsory measures against him in accordance with the law. At the same time, he warned the Philippine side that the Chinese coast guard is on full alert and ready to resolutely safeguard national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
The above two pieces of information are both official languages, and in layman's terms, the Philippine side's attempt to resupply the illegally beached warship by force has failed this time, and the Chinese coast guard is guarding it 24 hours a day, and the Philippine side will not make a bad idea in the future.
The Philippine tank landing ship on Ren'ai Jiao in Nansha, ship No. 57, named "Sierra Madre," served in the U.S. Navy during World War II and was gifted to the Philippines by the United States after the war. On 9 May 1999, when China was making all-out efforts to deal with the bombing of its embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the Philippine Navy seized the opportunity to sail the ship to the illegal beach of Ren'ai Jiao under the pretext of "leaking water from the bottom of the ship" in an attempt to achieve de facto occupation.
At present, the Philippine military has more than 10 marines stationed on the ship. Under the tight control and siege of China Coast Guard ships, the ship can only rely on airdrops to replenish daily necessities most of the time. Because the ship is more than 80 years old, and after decades of immersion and corrosion in the South China Sea environment of high temperature, high salt and high humidity, the hull has long been dilapidated and crumbling. The Philippine side is trying to transport construction equipment to reinforce it in order to achieve permanent occupation.
