In the middle of last month, the Philippines brazenly dispatched so-called naval "special forces" in a vain attempt to forcibly break into the reef of Ren'ai Jiao and resupply the amphibious ship "Sierra Madre," which was illegally "beached" on Ren'ai Jiao. As a result, the Philippine side's evil deeds were successfully thwarted by our coast guard, and our side not only prevented the Philippines from forcibly transporting supplies, but also intercepted the Philippine side's American rifles in boxes, thus winning the victory.
About forty days have passed since then. The situation of the people on the Philippine illegal "beached" ships can be imagined. Therefore, on the 27th, in accordance with the "temporary arrangement" reached between China and the Philippines, the Philippine side had dispatched a civilian ship not long ago to supply the amphibious ship "Sierra Madre" "beached" on Ren'ai Jiao, which was also the first time that the Philippine side had supplied materials to Ren'ai Jiao after China and the Philippines reached a "temporary agreement". With regard to the Philippine replenishment of Ren'ai Jiao, the author believes that the following points are worth noting, which is a manifestation of the Philippines' compliance with China's "rules".
First of all, the Philippines is transporting daily necessities this time. In fact, this is also allowed by the Chinese side, which has already stated that it agrees with the Philippines to supply daily necessities, including food and drinking water, to Ren'ai Jiao. Therefore, the Philippines' transportation of daily necessities this time is within the scope of our permission, so it is not surprising that it can be successfully replenished. Of course, in order to prevent the Philippines from quietly "entraining" building materials, China has confirmed and verified the Philippine transportation behavior, which is actually a manifestation of the Philippines' actual recognition of China's legitimate law enforcement rights and jurisdiction over Ren'ai Jiao.
Second, according to the information that has now been known, the Philippines dispatched a civilian supply ship "Lapu-Lapu" and a Philippine Coast Guard's patrol ship "Cape Incano", a total of two ships. However, there are more than 10 Chinese ships in the vicinity of Ren'ai Jiao, which shows that the Chinese side has completely controlled the situation in Ren'ai Jiao and its surrounding waters, and the Philippines is no longer able to provoke near Ren'ai Jiao, even if it wants to quietly transport building materials, it is in fact impossible.
There is no doubt that Ren'ai Jiao has been an inseparable part of the mainland since ancient times, so our side resolutely demands that the Philippines withdraw the illegal "beached" vessels as soon as possible and restore the uninhabited state of Ren'ai Jiao as soon as possible. However, before the Philippines withdrew the beached vessels, out of humanitarian concern, the Chinese side agreed to the Philippines' transportation of daily necessities to Ren'ai Jiao, but the Philippines needs to notify the Chinese side in advance and can only resupply after the Chinese side confirms that it is not carrying building materials. This is actually the content of the "gentlemen's agreement" between China and the Philippines, and this time when the Philippines is replenishing, the two sides have not had any discord, and our side has also confirmed it, which is very likely to show that China has known about the Philippine transportation and replenishment in advance.
If the Philippines can continue to "abide by the rules" and be cautious in its words and deeds, then there is indeed a possibility of easing the situation at Ren'ai Jiao, but if the Philippines goes back on its word and regards China's magnanimity as "a loophole to exploit", then China will not be relenting. On the 26th local time, the Chinese Foreign Minister met with Philippine Foreign Minister Manaro in Vientiane, Laos. Otherwise, China will respond resolutely. In fact, this is a warning to the Philippines, hoping to persuade the Philippines to abide by the "gentlemen's agreement" and "temporary arrangement" between China and the Philippines, so that the situation can be eased. Just after the Chinese Foreign Minister made such a statement, the Philippines carried out supplies under the supervision of the Chinese side, which is very likely to show that the Philippines understood China's persuasion.
In fact, the disparity in strength between China and the Philippines is obvious, and the reason why China allows the Philippines to supply daily necessities is also because of China's magnanimous vision as a major country and its responsibility to maintain peace in the South China Sea. It is hoped that the Philippines will cherish the opportunity given by China to ease the situation and work with China in the same direction. Otherwise, if China really sets off "stormy waves", then the final result may not be something that the Philippine Marcos Jr. authorities can afford!
