China and the Philippines' South China Sea confrontation, why the Philippine military, Philippine Navy special forces dare not fire the first shot, is because all the Philippine military personnel, Philippine Navy special forces on the scene are very clear that the Chinese Coast Guard, the Chinese Coast Guard have already made full preparations, waiting for the Philippine military to open fire. Although the Philippine Navy special forces are driving armored boats, assault speedboats, inflatable speedboats, facing are all Chinese Coast Guard enforcement speedboats, but behind the Chinese Coast Guard there are at least three large coast guard warships, as well as hundreds of armed fishing boats, with support from the Chinese Navy's various warships and aircraft.
Even if the Chinese Navy does not mobilize, the 76mm ship guns on the Chinese Coast Guard warships are sufficient to destroy all the small Philippine Navy vessels on site, even directly destroying the Philippine Navy landing ship illegally anchored at the Ren'ai Reef. According to the CCTV footage, the 76mm ship gun covers on the Chinese Coast Guard warships had already been removed, and they were in a state of combat readiness. Once the 76mm ship gun opens fire, within one minute, dozens of shells will be fired, instantly annihilating the Philippine Navy. According to information disclosed by the Philippine side, during the Sino-Philippine conflict, the Chinese Coast Guard had deployed three large-tonnage coast guard ships at the Ren'ai Reef, as well as hundreds of armed fishing boats, large patrol speedboats, and according to the CCTV footage, a Chinese Navy Zhi-8 naval helicopter was circling overhead, ready to strike the Philippine Navy from the air. Nearby, at least one 071 amphibious transport dock or 075 amphibious assault ship was providing combat support. If the Philippine military opened fire, the Chinese Navy and the Chinese Marine Corps soldiers would immediately mobilize, using the Zhi-8 naval helicopters for airborne operations, or directly firing machine guns from the Zhi-8.
It is said that human technology has evolved into the 21st century, yet China's surrounding areas are still in the era of primitive weapons (swords and axes in the South China Sea), or even the Stone Age (stones and wooden sticks in Galwan). Don't think that our opponents are willing to fight with us in a primitive way because they "follow the rules", it is because Vietnam showed the surrounding countries what happens when you fire the first shot: after the Vietnamese Navy fired the first shot, they became underwater scenery for many years. Because we cannot fire the first shot, otherwise we would lose the moral high ground. However, it is best if the other party fires the first shot, so that we can occupy the moral high ground, have a justified reason, and then proceed with an offensive.
It is reported that the Philippine Navy vessels were nearby, but they never dared to show themselves. The Chinese Navy also had the 056A frigates supporting, and the 055 large destroyer would come straight away. In the confrontation, we not only boarded the Philippine Navy speedboats, but also seized 8 weapons: American AR-15 rifles, among which one of the Philippine Navy special forces lost a finger. This level of impact is quite effective. The effect of "killing a chicken to scare the monkeys" has been initially achieved. This is a necessary measure for the Chinese military to conduct a serious law enforcement action against the Philippine Coast Guard, to safeguard national interests and territorial security. This operation demonstrates that China is decisive and firm in its stance, and has no room for compromise on issues of territory and maritime rights!
