South Korea underestimated! They wanted to disrupt the status quo on Suyan Reef but found a large number of fishing boats had arrived, and even the South Korean coast guard dared not approach.

South Korea has recently sent ships to cause trouble near China's Suyan Reef multiple times, interfering with and provoking our normal construction in the surrounding waters of Suyan Reef. We were merely building some high-rise houses or a few fish ponds in our inherent territorial waters around Suyan Reef, but South Korea maliciously provoked us. In response to South Korea's dangerous actions, we actively defended our own interests. Our warships, including 054-class frigates, entered the corresponding sea areas without giving any opportunity to South Korean coast guard vessels and warships.

Originally, only a few fishing boats came here without fishing, and this area has always been our inherent territory without any disputes. After South Korea's provocations, more of our fishing boats arrived, including some large ones, with some Zhejiang fishing boats leading the way. Seeing this situation, South Korean coast guard ships no longer dared to approach.

We have always handled matters in this way: when friends come, there is fine wine; when enemies come, there are hunting guns. We usually negotiate politely with outsiders, but once outsiders take overly aggressive measures, especially those that infringe upon our rights, then we will not be polite. In history, we have said that those who offend China will be punished no matter how far they go, and we can also go where the enemy goes. These things are deeply rooted in our bones.

South Korea now regrets it, knowing they have made a big mistake. The fundamental reason is their insufficient understanding of our culture. Actually, as long as South Korea acknowledges that Suyan Reef and its surrounding waters are part of China's inherent territory, we can still discuss relevant development issues. If South Korea deliberately provokes China, it must pay the price.
