In the vast South China Sea, the resolute law enforcement action of the China Coast Guard has once again attracted widespread attention from the international community. Recently, the China Coast Guard announced that for the first time, the Chinese Coast Guard boarded a Philippine vessel that trespassed into the waters adjacent to Ren'ai Jiao in China's Nansha Islands to enforce the law, which not only reflects China's firm determination to safeguard national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, but also sends multiple important signals to the outside world.
1. Resolutely defend national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests
Second Thomas Shoal and its adjacent waters are China's inherent territory, over which China has indisputable sovereignty. Philippine vessels have trespassed into the waters without authorization in an attempt to deliver supplies to warships that are illegally "beached," which has seriously violated China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. The China Coast Guard's control measures in accordance with the law, such as warnings, arrests, boarding inspections, and forced evictions, are a strong response to the Philippines' provocative actions and a firm defense of China's sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
2. Demonstrate the law enforcement capabilities and professionalism of the China Coast Guard
The China Coast Guard has demonstrated superb law enforcement capabilities and professionalism in this law enforcement operation. In the face of the provocative actions of Philippine vessels, the China Coast Guard took resolute measures to board and inspect Philippine vessels in accordance with the law and take necessary control measures. The entire law enforcement process is reasonable, legal, professional and standardized, which not only effectively safeguards national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, but also demonstrates the law enforcement capability and professionalism of the China Coast Guard to the outside world.
3. Maintain a firm position on peace and stability in the South China Sea
The South China Sea is a sea of peace, friendship and cooperation. China has always been committed to maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea and promoting regional countries to resolve differences through dialogue and consultation. However, the Philippines and other countries have disregarded the overall situation of regional peace and stability and frequently provoked incidents in the South China Sea, seriously undermining peace and stability in the South China Sea. The China Coast Guard's law enforcement action is not only a strong response to the Philippines' provocative behavior, but also a firm position and determination to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea.
Fourth, send a clear and unequivocal message to the international community
For the first time, the Chinese Coast Guard boarded a Philippine trespass to enforce the law, sending a clear and unequivocal signal to the international community. First of all, China has indisputable sovereignty over Nanhai Zhudao and its adjacent waters, which no country has the right to infringe. Second, China will unswervingly safeguard its national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and any provocation will be severely cracked down. Finally, China is committed to maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea, but will not tolerate any act that undermines regional peace and stability.
5. Promote cooperation and dialogue among countries in the region
The incident also reminded countries in the region of the importance of strengthening cooperation and dialogue. The South China Sea issue involves the interests of many countries and requires all parties to resolve their differences through dialogue and consultation. China is ready to work with other countries in the region to strengthen cooperation and dialogue and jointly safeguard peace, stability, prosperity and development in the South China Sea.
The Chinese Coast Guard's first aboard a Philippine trespassing vessel to enforce the law is not only a strong response to the Philippines' provocative actions, but also a staunch defense of China's sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. This action sends a clear and unequivocal signal to the international community, demonstrating China's firm determination and strong ability to safeguard national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. At the same time, it also reminded regional countries of the importance of strengthening cooperation and dialogue to jointly maintain peace, stability, prosperity and development in the South China Sea.
