Preface
On June 17, the Chinese Coast Guard intercepted a Philippine vessel resupplying the 57, which was illegally beached at Second Thomas Shoal.
In the past, the Philippines has ignored China's warnings.
In this case, the Chinese coast guard also intends to increase the intensity of the Philippines and directly tow away their supply vessels.
Looking at the supply ship that was forcibly towed away by the Chinese coast guard, the Philippines was completely desperate.
In the face of the powerful Chinese coast guard, the Philippines is also well aware that it is not capable of confrontation.
Therefore, the Philippines may choose to seek help from international organizations in the future.
The Chinese Coast Guard towed away the Philippine vessel
With the official implementation of China's new coast guard regulations, the mainland has run out of patience with a series of actions by the Philippines.
In the past, we have acted like a great power and shouted at the Philippines to leave the South China Sea as soon as possible.
However, China's reiteration and emphasis have been made by the Philippines as a deaf ear and continue to carry out various illegal acts in the South China Sea.
No, on June 17, the Philippines planned to resupply their warships that were illegally "beached" at Ren'ai Jiao.
The Philippine warship has been docked near Second Thomas Shoal on the mainland for many years.
During this period, the Philippines repeatedly delivered other supplies to the warship in the name of transporting supplies.
This time, the Philippines wants to forcibly enter the mainland again.
In the early morning of June 17, it was still dark on the South China Sea, and the Philippines took advantage of the darkness to plan to break into the mainland's Ren'ai Jiao territory.
According to a report by Huanqiu.com, this incident was published on June 17, 2024, "China Coast Guard: Take Control Measures against Philippine Vessels Illegally Intruding into the Waters Adjacent to Ren'ai Jiao in China's Nansha Islands in accordance with the Law"
It is worth mentioning that the Philippines has also sent their coast guard to assist.
At the same time, 6 ships were also dispatched, intending to enter the Ren'ai Jiao on the mainland from different directions.
But what the Philippines didn't expect was that the Chinese coast guard was serious this time.
In the past, the mainland did not take direct measures against the provocations of the Philippines, mainly because of the friendship between the two countries.
However, the Philippines has made inroads and has repeatedly carried out provocations in the South China Sea.
The behavior of the Philippines has also made the mainland gradually lose patience with it.
So this time, the Chinese coast guard directly took coercive measures against the Philippine supply ship.
In the process, the Philippines ignored the shouts of the Chinese coast guard and deliberately collided with our normal vessel.
In this regard, the Chinese coast guard also showed no mercy and directly towed away the Philippine supply ship.
In addition, the Chinese coast guard also seized eight rifles from the Philippines.
According to a report by Planet Huandao.com, this incident was published on June 19, 2024, "6 Philippine ships forcibly entered Ren'ai Jiao, and the Chinese coast guard boarded the ship for the first time to enforce the law and seized 8 rifles"
Since then, however, the Philippines has begun to turn black and white upside down, accusing China of being "illegal, reckless and offensive" in a series of actions.
On June 18, according to Philippine media reports, the Philippine side was hampered in the resupply mission of the "57" warship due to the "interference" of the Chinese coast guard.
Not only that, but the actions of the Chinese coast guard have also caused damage to Philippine vessels.
At the same time, several Philippine personnel were also injured.
The Philippines' remarks are completely reversing right and wrong and ignoring the facts.
The Philippine intrusion into the mainland's Ren'ai Jiao was completely illegal, and their vessel deliberately collided with a vessel normally operated by the Chinese Coast Guard.
According to a report by the Observer, the incident was published on June 18, 2024, titled "The Philippines admits that the supply mission of the illegally beached" warship has been blocked.
With regard to the illegal acts of the Philippines, China has taken control measures in accordance with laws and regulations.
The so-called "ship damage" on the Philippine side may also be due to the fact that when they collided with the Chinese coast guard vessels, they used too much force, causing themselves to backfire.
Similarly, the so-called "injuries" in the Philippines may have been caused by themselves.
Judging from the statement released by the Philippines, they are also very shocked by the behavior of the Chinese coast guard.
Perhaps, even the Philippines itself never imagined that the Chinese coast guard would take such a tough attitude.
The Philippines themselves acknowledged the failure of the supply, but they embellished their actions as "legitimate."
However, this also illustrates the Philippines' desire to reinforce the warships that are illegally "beached" at Ren'ai Jiao.
The Philippines sought help from international organizations
The failure of the Philippines' forced intrusion into the mainland's Ren'ai Jiao not only shows them the attitude of the Chinese coast guard.
At the same time, it also shows that the Philippine warships in Ren'ai Jiao have almost entered a state of food shortage.
If the Philippines wants to forcibly break into Second Thomas Shoal after this.
Then the Chinese coast guard will also take control measures against them.
Faced with this situation, there is a high probability that the Philippines will provide assistance to international organizations.
It has been learned that the Philippine senator intends to write a letter to the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs, hoping to seek help from international organizations and send some supplies to the Philippine personnel at Ren'ai Jiao.
And the Philippines is likely to be the United States for help.
The reason why the Philippines dares to repeatedly provoke China in the South China Sea is that the United States has instigated and supported it.
Prior to this, the United States had repeatedly expressed its support for the Philippines.
In March, a State Department spokesman said they would stand with their Philippine allies.
It can also be seen from this that the United States also wants to intervene in the situation in the South China Sea.
However, although the United States and the Philippines are ostensibly allies, this is not the case.
Previously, the Philippines had to choose to import from abroad due to the decline in grain production due to extreme weather.
After learning of this situation, the United States not only did not extend a helping hand to its allies, but quietly raised the price of American rice imported from the Philippines.
This is not the only thing, the United States has often talked about the Philippines but has not practiced it.
The United States has repeatedly expressed its support for the Philippines and criticized China's behavior in the South China Sea.
However, the United States is only talking about it, and has not done anything in real action.
It can also be seen from this that it may be difficult for the Philippines to get any practical help from the United States.
In the end, the bitterness can only be swallowed by the Philippines itself.
After this experience, the Philippines must have known that if they want to continue to break into the mainland's Ren'ai Jiao.
Then, the China Coast Guard will not be relentless.
The power gap between China and the Philippines is huge, and it is probably unrealistic for the Philippines to want to take the refuge in the United States.
epilogue
China has always been engaged in friendly and amicable discussions with the Philippines in its provocative behavior in the South China Sea.
However, China's kind words and persuasion have made the Philippines gain an inch, and it has to toast and not eat and drink.
Since China's kindness is not appreciated by the Philippines, then there is no need for us to show them any more affection.
If the Philippines continues to engage in provocations in the South China Sea, China will not relent.
