There are more than a dozen coast guard vessels in the entire country of the Philippines, so it is completely uncertain and impossible for the Philippines to fight a war of attrition with us. Even if there is a one-on-one exchange and a collision at sea, the Philippine coast guard ship will eventually be wiped out by us. With two collisions destroyed three Philippine coast guard ships, leaving them incapacitated.

Philippine littoral vessels have withdrawn from Sembin Reef, and according to AIS signals, Philippine Coast Guard MRRV9701 Coast Guard ships have entered the waters south of Palawan. This shows that the contradiction that lasted for 6 months has been pierced, so now the whole situation is very favorable to us, after the withdrawal of the Philippine Coast Guard ships, there are no Philippine ships in the entire Xianbin Reef.

I think there are three main reasons for this phase victory, the first is that we insist on blocking and besieging the supply channels of the Philippine Coast Guard ships, forcing the Philippines to be unable to continue to provide enough food and fresh water for the personnel on board.
This coast guard ship has a displacement of more than 2,000 tons, and there are 50 or 60 people on it, so many people consume a lot of food and fresh water every day, and the coast guard ship's self-sustaining power can only be about 10 days.

Photo interpretation: The Philippines uses a small 300-ton coast guard ship for resupply
Therefore, the Philippines uses coast guard ships to sit on the beach, and it needs to use 300-ton small sea ships to make round-trips, and constantly replenish, and it is an intensive supply, which must be implemented every three or five times. As long as we cut off its supply routes and strictly control the supply routes, it will be very difficult for the Philippine Coast Guard ships to survive.
In the past, we also gave the Philippines enough time to adjust and let them abandon the provocation on their own, but instead of doing so, the Philippines insisted on confronting us, and now it can only flee in disgrace.

The second reason is that the two collisions were crucial decisions, and I remember that last month, there were two collisions at sea. The coast guard vessels on both sides have been damaged to varying degrees, but we have a large number of coast guard vessels, and we have close to 30 to 40 coast guard vessels and other auxiliary vessels in the entire Xianbin Reef.
There are more than a dozen coast guard vessels in the entire country of the Philippines, so it is completely uncertain and impossible for the Philippines to fight a war of attrition with us. Even if there is a one-on-one exchange and a collision at sea, the Philippine coast guard ship will eventually be wiped out by us. With two collisions destroyed three Philippine coast guard ships, leaving them incapacitated. If the Philippines continues to confront us, its coast guard vessels are far from adequate, so this is a key reason for the Philippines' withdrawal from Sembin Reef.
The third reason is that the overall strength of the Philippines lags far behind ours, not only because the number of Philippine coast guard ships is small, but also because the Philippine Navy cannot provide sufficient support to the coast guard. More importantly, the United States has turned a deaf ear to the Philippines' pleas for help.
This fully highlights that the US-Philippine alliance is actually a relationship of exploitation, and the United States uses the Philippines to act as a proxy in the South China Sea and fight a proxy war. Once something happens to the Philippines, United States will not come to the rescue, so this is one of the reasons why the Philippines saw the United States's attempt and evacuated the coast guard ships.
