In recent times, the Philippines seems to have been on the wrong side of the Chinese coast guard, and has been "dealt with" from time to time. Just in the early hours of Monday, the Philippines once again "sent itself on the doorstep" by launching a new round of provocative actions in the South China Sea. As expected, it suffered another shameful defeat.

According to the Southern Theater Command,At around 3:30 a.m. on August 19, two Philippine ships attempted to sneak into the waters near our Xianbin Reef under the cover of darkness. When they were discovered by the Chinese Coast Guard and expelled in accordance with the law, the Philippine Coast Guard ship became angry and deliberately rammed the Chinese ship, causing damage to its own humiliation.At around 6 o'clock, the Philippine Coast Guard Ship No. 4410, whose hull was relatively intact, still tried to forcibly break into the waters of Ren'ai Reef, but was again controlled by the Chinese side and fled the scene.

In response, the Chinese Coast Guard released a short video about the incident and warned the Philippine ship that its behavior was "unprofessional and dangerous" and urged it to stop its infringing behavior, otherwise the Philippines would bear all the consequences arising therefrom.

After the incident,Manila may not have expected that it would launch a "sneak attack" deliberately at night, but the Chinese Coast Guard's counterattack was still so swift, and it stated the facts and presented evidence in a timely manner.A few hours later, the Philippines, which is always keen on putting the blame on others, finally issued a statement, which only made the country look like a "clown". The Philippines said in its statement:The relevant personnel had no intention of going to Xianbin Reef and Ren'ai Reef at all. They were on their way to Mahuan Island and Feixin Island in the Philippines when they encountered "illegal and aggressive operations by Chinese ships."

This is obviously not true.The Philippines simply fled to the area after its plan failed and it was driven away by China.Manila's statement is just as false as before, except that this time the narrative is even more false. This is because China was the first to release the video of the Philippines' malicious provocation that led to the collision of the two sides' ships. Faced with irrefutable evidence, the Philippines must have racked its brains to come up with such a clumsy excuse, namely, "on the way to work in the South China Sea, it encountered the Chinese Coast Guard halfway and was bullied for no reason"...

It has to be said that in the South China Sea dispute with China, the Philippines intends to carry out its "rogue" behavior to the end.The country first engaged in brutal provocation and then made lies. The international community should open its eyes and see clearly about such unethical and untrustworthy people.

In addition, the evidence released by the Philippines is:The deck of the Philippine ship 4411 had a 13-centimeter-diameter hole due to a "collision", and the Chinese Coast Guard boat 21551 was accused of hitting the Philippine ship 4410 twice, "causing slight damage to its structure".That is, the deliberate provocation of the Philippine Coast Guard ship in the video we released. In other words, less than two weeks after the air conflict between China and the Philippines over Huangyan Island, the Philippines once again made a fool of itself.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the crazy behavior of the Philippine ship No. 4410 in trying to forcibly break through the Ren'ai Reef that day.The Philippines has suffered heavy losses repeatedly in its confrontation with China, so it tried to attack the defense line set up by the Chinese Coast Guard on Ren'ai Reef to "forcibly save its reputation".However, given the disparity in power between the two sides, the Philippine ship once again fled. As we just said, the Manila authorities humiliate themselves in the South China Sea in various ways almost every week.

It is worth noting that despite the increasing friction between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea, this incident is the first time in decades that the two countries have clashed over the Sinapi Reef.On the one hand, this reflects the escalation of the Philippines' provocations against China. On the other hand, it also highlights China's determination to never allow the "illegal grounding of warships on Ren'ai Reef" to happen again in the South China Sea.The Philippines had better give up its unnecessary thoughts, otherwise it will definitely suffer the consequences.

In addition, the various "small fights" provoked by the Philippines have caused us some trouble, but this will never affect our ability to safeguard national sovereignty and our strategic determination to deploy in the South China Sea. In contrast, the Philippines has "embarrassed itself" time and time again and made a fool of itself in the international community. Unless the Manila authorities change their confrontational line with China, more "embarrassments" are waiting for them - China is very close to the Philippines, while the United States is very far away from the Philippines and regards the Filipinos as tools that can be sacrificed. I hope the Marcos government will take care of itself.
