China Coast Guard Spokesperson's Statement on the Deliberate Collision of a Chinese Coast Guard Vessel by a Philippine Coast Guard Ship

Gan Yu, spokesperson for the China Coast Guard, said that on August 19, the Philippine Coast Guard ships No. 4410 and No. 4411 illegally entered the waters near Xianbin Reef in China's Nansha Islands without the permission of the Chinese government. The Chinese Coast Guard took control measures against the Philippine ships in accordance with the law. At 03:24, the Philippine ship No. 4410 ignored China's repeated solemn warnings and deliberately rammed China's 21551 boat, which was in a normal law enforcement and protection manner, in an unprofessional and dangerous manner, resulting in a collision. The responsibility lies entirely with the Philippines. We warn the Philippines to immediately stop its infringement and provocation, otherwise all the consequences arising from this will be borne by the Philippines. China has indisputable sovereignty over the Nansha Islands, including Xianbin Reef, and its surrounding waters. The Chinese Coast Guard will continue to carry out law enforcement activities in China's jurisdiction in accordance with the law and resolutely safeguard the country's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.

China Coast Guard Spokesperson Remarks on the Illegal Intrusion of Philippine Coast Guard Ships into Ren'ai Reef

Gan Yu, spokesperson for the China Coast Guard, said that at about 6 a.m. on August 19, after being blocked after illegally entering the waters near Xianbin Reef in China's Nansha Islands, the Philippine Coast Guard ship No. 4410 once again illegally entered the waters near Ren'ai Reef in China's Nansha Islands, despite repeated warnings and route control from China. The Chinese Coast Guard took control measures against the Philippine ship in accordance with the law. The Philippines has repeatedly provoked trouble, violated the temporary arrangements between China and the Philippines on the supply of living materials for ships illegally "running aground" on Ren'ai Reef, seriously violated China's sovereignty, and seriously undermined regional peace and stability. We urge the Philippines to immediately stop its infringement and provocation, otherwise all consequences arising therefrom will be borne by the Philippines.

Niu Tanqin: It is rare for the Chinese and Philippine foreign ministers to have a face-to-face meeting. Wang Yi's two remarks were very impolite

Wang Yi has been very busy recently.

butNo matter how busy you are, there is a foreign minister you must meet during the ASEAN meeting in Vientiane, Laos.

That is Philippine Foreign Minister Manalo.


Wang Yi Holds Talks with Philippine Foreign Minister Manalo in Vientiane

After all, among the 10 ASEAN countries, China and the Philippines currently have the worst relationship and were once on the brink of a conflict, which was really shocking to watch.

Therefore, during this rare face-to-face meeting between the foreign ministers, Wang Yi was also very impolite, especially these two sentences, which are very meaningful to read.

The first sentence.

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, Wang Yi told Manalo:If the Philippines introduces the US intermediate-range missile system, it will create regional tension and confrontation and trigger an arms race, which is totally contrary to the interests and wishes of the Filipino people.

Of course, Wang Yi also said before: China-Philippines relations are currently facing serious difficulties and challenges. The root cause is that the Philippines has repeatedly violated the consensus of both sides and its own commitments, continuously promoted maritime infringements, and amplified public opinion hype. China is seriously concerned about this and firmly opposes it.

To sum up, this is my personal understanding.

1. China and the Philippines are in trouble again. The root cause is the three sins of the Philippines, namely: ① repeatedly violating the consensus of both sides and its own commitments, which is a lack of integrity; ② constantly advancing maritime infringements, which is too much; ③ amplifying public opinion hype, which is very wrong.

2. China is very angry, seriously concerned and firmly opposed.

3,China also issuedSerious warning: If the Philippines dares to introduce the US intermediate-range missile system, I'm sorry, the consequences will be even more serious.

But this at least shows that the Philippines does have ideas and does not rule out the possibility that the United States will take advantage of the situation. Now, China has received a wake-up call.

This is the first sentence, and the second sentence.

Wang Yi told Manalo:The key is for the Philippines to fulfill its commitments, stop changing its words from day to day, stop going back on its words, stop backpedaling and creating unnecessary complications. Otherwise, China will definitely give a firm response.


Wang Yi said that regarding China-Philippines relations, there is no way out of conflict and confrontation, and dialogue and consultation are the right way

Before this sentence, Wang Yi also said: China recently reached a temporary arrangement with the Philippines on the issue of humanitarian and daily necessities transportation to Ren'ai Reef in order to maintain stability in the maritime situation.

This involves the temporary arrangement recently reached between China and the Philippines.

I have said before that if there is no interference from the United States, and if the Philippines really wants to stabilize the situation, a peaceful solution to the South China Sea issue can always be found.

But considering the Philippines' consistent performance, considering the instigation and advice from the United States, especially the fact that China and the Philippines have reached agreements and tacit understandings in the past, but the Philippines quickly tore them up in the end.

Wang Yi must be frank.

1. A very crucial point is that you must keep your promise in the Philippines.

2. If you continue to go back on your words, China will not be polite.

I think,This was also the most tense meeting between Wang Yi and foreign ministers in Vientiane, Laos.

How do you say it in the Philippines?

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' manuscript, Manalo told Wang Yi: The two sides recently held a bilateral consultation mechanism meeting on the South China Sea issue and reached consensus on managing the maritime situation, which reflects the goodwill of both sides and does not affect their respective positions. The Philippines is willing to implement these consensuses.

Considering the context, the meaning is very clear, and of course, this is also my understanding.

1. The Philippines is willing to ease the situation through dialogue and consultation. In other words, the Philippines also realizes that taking risks will not bring good results.

2. The Philippines will implement the recent consensus, but "it will not affect our respective positions." In other words, on the territorial issue, we will still have our own opinions.

But I guess, because this is the information disclosed by the Chinese side, and considering the diplomatic rhetoric, the Philippines will actually have some harsh words to say.

Of course, the good news is that China-Philippines relations have recently improved.

Two landmark events.

First, China and the Philippines have reached a temporary arrangement on the issue of replenishment of the Ren'ai Reef. If the Philippines can keep its promise, this storm point in the South China Sea is expected to gradually subside.

The second thing is that Philippine President Marcos ordered an immediate ban on all online gambling institutions run by Chinese. If this is implemented properly, it will indeed be a blessing for both countries.

The second thing I want to say is that these online gambling organizations defraud Chinese compatriots, and the people who defraud money are also detained Chinese.

Marcos himself said: "They disguise themselves as legal entities and are involved in illegal areas that go beyond the gaming industry, such as financial fraud, money laundering, prostitution, human trafficking, kidnapping, brutal torture, and even murder. This gross abuse and disrespect for our legal system must stop."

I saw that the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines immediately expressed its support for this decision, saying it complies with public opinion and is in the common interests of the two peoples, and clearly pointed out that "the Philippine offshore gaming industry breeds vicious crimes and seriously damages the interests of the two peoples."

It is rare, really rare, that China publicly praises the President of the Philippines.

Finally, my personal opinion.

It is really sad to see China-Philippines relations have developed to such a bad situation now.

It has to be said that after President Marcos came to power, the Philippines was not good at developing its economy, but was very good at causing trouble in the South China Sea.

We have seen that the Philippines has opened a large number of military bases to allow American soldiers to station there; the Philippines has constantly caused trouble and friction in the South China Sea, seriously eroding China's patience; and, the Philippines once intended to introduce the US intermediate-range missile system.

This is a serious challenge to China's bottom line.

I have previously quoted a famous saying by Han Feizi:A small country but not humbleThose who are weak but do not fear the strong, who are unreasonable but insult their powerful neighbors, who are greedy and stubborn but are clumsy in making friends.It is possible to die.

Of course, Han Feizi's words have a specific historical background. In modern society, all countries, big or small, are equal.

But if we look at history and even more at the present, how many countries have been correctly described by Han Fei?

China has maintained sufficient patience, but patience also has its limits. Don't really push China into a situation where "this is too much to bear".

The Philippines really needs to think twice about what to do next!
