After two days of silence, the Philippine side finally unified its voice and began to launch a public opinion counterattack against China.
This time, Brauner, chief of the general staff of the Philippine army, stood in the foreground and openly accused the Chinese side of its actions as a "provocation", and he strongly demanded that the Chinese side return the captured Philippine guns, and claimed that China should compensate for "all the losses arising therefrom."
This move has undoubtedly pushed the tension between the two countries to a new climax.
Then, on June 20, Philippine media obtained "first-hand video footage" of the conflict at Second Thomas Shoal from the Philippine military.
The videos are seen as important evidence by Manila to prove the alleged "brutal law enforcement" of the Chinese coast guard and to try to portray the Philippines as a "victim" internationally.
However, the truth of the matter is often not what it seems, and these public video footage has instead become a mirror that reflects the real perpetrators of the conflict, leaving the Philippines' provocations unconcealed and ultimately reduced to a farce of self-inflicted humiliation.
From several live videos disclosed by the Philippine side, we can clearly see that the Philippine side is not an ordinary military force, but its elite division, the "Navy Special Operations Commando", which is known as the "elite of the elite" of the Philippine army.
Dressed in camouflage uniforms and tactical helmets, these special forces in high-speed special operations boats attempted to break through the tight defense line of the Chinese coast guard with lightning speed and forcibly provide material support to the illegally stranded landing ship "Sierra Madre."
However, their plans did not work out.
With a high degree of vigilance and professionalism, the Chinese coast guard successfully intercepted the Philippine assault boat, preventing it from approaching the target.
In the tense standoff, video footage captured how multiple law enforcement boats of the Chinese Coast Guard surrounded Philippine assault boats, forming an impregnable line of defense.
In the face of the Chinese coast guard's stern readiness, the Philippine side did not choose to retreat rationally, but adopted a variety of provocative measures.
First, the Philippine soldiers on the "Sierra Madre" poured an unknown liquid on the Chinese coast guard from top to bottom in an attempt to interfere with our sight and judgment.
However, this despicable approach did not work. Our personnel reacted quickly, pointing at the Philippine soldiers and issuing a stern warning, demanding that they immediately stop this shameless provocation.
However, the Philippine side did not take China's warnings to heart. Not only did they refuse the Chinese Coast Guard's request to board the ship for inspection, but they also created great chaos at the scene.
From the video materials provided by the Philippine side, we can see that the Philippine soldiers are holding weapons and taking a strong attitude to obstruct the normal law enforcement activities of the Chinese coast guard.
Faced with this situation, in order to defend itself and protect the country's sovereign interests, the Chinese coast guard had to go on guard with a fire axe and shout "don't move" to the Philippine side in English.
Regrettably, however, the Philippine soldiers did not restrain their arrogance and adopted more dangerous measures to prevent our personnel from carrying out their official duties.
In another striking video, we can see a Filipino soldier in a dinghy pulling out an axe-like murder weapon and attempting to hand it to his besieged companions.
This kind of blatant act of "violent resistance to the law" is undoubtedly a flagrant violation of international law and the bottom line of basic morality.
In addition, the footage also captured the scene of multiple Philippine military special forces gathering to bandage a suspected injured person. The soldier is likely to be the victim of the "severed finger" mentioned by the Philippine army.
However, judging from the video from the scene, the Chinese coast guard did not launch any kind of attack on the Philippine army. Therefore, it is reasonable to speculate that the soldier may have been accidentally injured in the course of the resistance.
It was revealed that the soldier's finger was pinched off when two speedboats collided.
If this news is true, then he can be said to have shot himself in the foot.
The Philippine side carefully selected and released these video clips, apparently with the intention of using them as "evidence in court" to criticize China's alleged "hegemonic" behavior.
However, to the surprise of the Philippine side, these videos have instead become powerful evidence to reveal the truth. They not only prove the professionalism, legitimacy and restraint of the China Coast Guard in the process of law enforcement, but also expose the provocative behavior and bad intentions of the Philippine side itself.
It has been learned that although the Philippine side has always claimed that its actions were only for the purpose of transporting food and other daily necessities, in fact they have been hiding illegal goods.
They took advantage of the opportunity to secretly send construction materials and even weapons and ammunition to illegally stranded warships.
The fact that the Philippine military also publicly admitted that seven assault rifles were captured by the Chinese side just proves the bad intentions of the Philippine army, that is, they originally intended to use lethal force against Chinese personnel.
However, it can be seen from the video released by the Philippines that China's law enforcement actions are purely for the purpose of preventing illegal supplies, and have not taken any drastic measures against Philippine personnel, showing a high degree of restraint and professionalism.
In particular, in the current conflict at Ren'ai Jiao, the Philippine military unilaterally raised the level and intensity of the conflict.
They dispatched the highly acclaimed Philippine Navy Special Forces, even hailed as rivaling the U.S. Army's "Navy SEALs."
These well-trained special forces, who flew in several high-speed speedboats and carried lethal weapons such as automatic rifles, were clearly preparing for a tough battle with the Chinese side, and their arrogance and provocative intentions were self-evident.
However, even in the face of such formidable opponents and challenges, the front-line law enforcement members of the China Coast Guard have shown fearless courage and unwavering determination.
In the contest with foreign enemies, they showed the spirit of forgetting their lives and forgetting their lives, successfully repelled the attack of the Philippine special forces with a high degree of professionalism and tactical wisdom, and completely smashed the long-planned provocative actions of the Philippine army.
They have proved to the world with ironclad facts that the China Coast Guard has the ability to enforce the law and is determined to defend the country's sovereign interests and maritime rights and interests with concrete actions.
In this fierce conflict, the members of the Chinese Coast Guard showed tenacious fighting spirit and indomitable fighting spirit.
They defended the dignity and interests of the country with firm conviction and excellent skills.
Their heroic deeds have not only won the respect and praise of the Chinese people, but also made tremendous contributions to the security and stability of the country.
Here, we would like to express our highest respect to these warriors who are fighting on the front line of rights protection.
They used their youth and blood to compose a heroic hymn of the new era, showing the heroic image of "the loveliest people".
Their courage, loyalty and fearlessness will forever be etched in people's hearts and become a powerful motivation to keep moving forward.
