Breaking News! Intense standoff occurs at Tieline Reef! Chinese maritime police water cannon pierces the bridge of Philippine ship, Philippine maritime police turn around to force their way through, only to encounter a humiliating scene next. On May 23 local time, according to reports by GMA Television in the Philippines, on the morning of May 21, Philippine Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources ships 3002 and 3003 illegally intruded into the waters near Zhubi Reef and Tieline Reef. The Philippine side successively sent personnel to illegally land on the second sandbank of Tieline Reef to carry out so-called "marine scientific research tasks." Our maritime police took decisive countermeasures in accordance with the law and regulations, forcibly driving away the Philippine research vessel and other official vessels, and conducting a landing inspection and handling at Tieline Reef. At around 9 a.m. on May 21, the Philippine 3002 official ship repeatedly ignored the stern warnings from our maritime police ships and attempted to circumvent and intrude at high speed. From 9:13 to 9:14 on the same day, our patrol boat 21559 issued multiple warnings to the Philippine 3002 ship. However, the Philippine 3002 official ship still intended to forcefully intrude into Tieline Reef. In the next second, the Philippine side encountered a humiliating situation. Patrol boat 21559 carried out a warning water cannon spray at the ship. According to the video released by the Philippine side, the bridge of the Philippine 3002 ship was directly hit by the water cannon, and the navigation radar and related electronic equipment were destroyed. There were cries of alarm inside the bridge. Between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. on May 21, during the normal rights protection law enforcement process of our maritime police patrol boat 21559, the Philippine side attempted to provoke incidents by "ramming". The Philippine 3002 ship dangerously approached our patrol boat 21559 and suddenly adjusted its course to the left, pressing onto the route of the maritime police patrol boat 21559, ultimately causing serious collisions between the two parties. The relevant responsibility must be fully borne by the Philippine side. We have seen that the law enforcement actions of the maritime police units are professional, standardized, reasonable, and legal. To prevent the Philippine ship from retreating and leaving the scene, they specifically carried out high-speed water cannon spraying from the stern to the bow of the Philippine ship. This is also the first time that our new fast patrol boats have implemented expulsion measures against Philippine official ships in actual combat. According to the on-site videos released by our maritime police, after our multiple stern warnings, the Philippine side still lowered one high-speed boat in the waters about 2 kilometers away from Tieline Reef and organized personnel to illegally land and conduct activities on the second sandbank of Tieline Reef. Our side immediately dispatched two law enforcement assault boats and one law enforcement fast boat to legally drive them away. Subsequently, our law enforcement personnel landed and drove all the Philippine personnel ashore away.
