In the vast South China Sea, there is a bright pearl - Scarborough Shoal. This pearl has been an inseparable part of China's territory since ancient times, carrying the profound maritime emotions and endless dreams of the Chinese nation.

In the face of severe challenges, the China Coast Guard has not flinched and bravely attacked to defend the sovereignty of Scarborough Shoal and safeguard China's maritime rights and interests with concrete actions.

Scarborough Shoal, also known as Democracy Reef, is located in the central and eastern waters of the South China Sea and is China's inherent territory. As early as the Song Dynasty, Chinese fishermen began fishing and pearl diving in this area, and left behind a wealth of historical relics. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, China included Nanhai Zhudao in its territory and clearly marked the location of Huangyan Dao on the map. These historical facts fully prove that Scarborough Shoal has been a part of China's territory since ancient times, and this is an incomparable historical fact.
However, in recent years, the Philippines has ignored historical facts and the norms of international law and frequently carried out illegal activities near Scarborough Shoal. Ships and personnel were dispatched to illegally enter the waters of Scarborough Shoal to carry out fishing operations, and they also tried to occupy Scarborough Shoal by various means.

The China Coast Guard responded quickly and dispatched a coast guard vessel to the scene to deal with it.
When the Chinese Coast Guard ship approached the Philippine vessel, the Filipino crew showed no remorse or fear. Continued illegal fishing operations and attempted to violently resist the enforcement of the Chinese Coast Guard. However, the Chinese coast guard was not intimidated. The rubber boat was quickly released and approached the Philippine vessel, ready to carry out maritime law enforcement.
During the standoff, a Chinese coast guard officer bravely jumped off the kayak and rushed onto a Philippine vessel. With extraordinary courage and wisdom, he succeeded in capturing the Philippine ship. Immediately afterwards, four other coast guard officers also acted quickly to control all the Filipino crew members.
