In the early morning of the 19th, two Philippine coast guard ships illegally entered the waters near Xianbin Reef in China's Nansha Islands without the permission of the Chinese government. The on-site video showed that the Philippine ships ignored China's repeated dissuasion and warnings and deliberately rammed the Chinese coast guard ships on the scene in a dangerous manner, resulting in a collision. The Chinese coast guard took necessary measures against the Philippine ships in accordance with domestic and international laws, and the on-site operations were professional, restrained and standardized.

Pictures speak louder than words, and what is true cannot be false. Although the Philippines blamed China afterward, and the United States and the West followed a routine to support the Philippines and attack and smear China, the facts have proven that the responsibility for the collision between the Chinese and Philippine ships lies entirely with the Philippines; it is the Philippines that has repeatedly taken risks and provoked in the South China Sea, undermining regional peace and stability.

In the past two years, the Philippines has frequently "made trouble" in China's Ren'ai Reef and Huangyan Island, and now has set its sights on Xianbin Reef. The island is part of China's Nansha Islands and is also an uninhabited island and reef, which belongs to China's inherent territory. Since Xianbin Reef is only 70 kilometers away from Ren'ai Reef, it is an important node in the shipping route and the cornerstone of security and stability in the eastern South China Sea. The Philippines has always attempted to control the island.

Since April this year, the Philippines has sent large coast guard ships to illegally stay in the Xianbin Reef lagoon. The main purpose of the Philippines's intrusion into the Xianbin Reef waters is to provide supplies to the Philippine coast guard ships stranded there, seeking to achieve a long-term presence and expand illegal gains in the South China Sea. This is the latest development of the Philippines' infringement and provocation against China in the South China Sea.
