Details Exposed: Philippine Vessels Intentionally Collide, with Severe Nature! China Coast Guard Uses High-Pressure Water Cannons for Strong Countermeasures.
Today (September 16) at 11:25, the spokesperson of the China Coast Guard, Gan Yu, made a statement, revealing in detail the malicious provocation by Philippine government vessels near Huangyan Island: First, the Philippines deployed more than 10 government vessels; Second, they entered from different directions; Third, they intentionally collided with Chinese coast guard ships. The Chinese side took a series of management measures according to law: First, verbal warnings; Second, route control; Third, water cannon sprays. Gan Yu specifically mentioned that the Philippine vessel No. 3014 intentionally collided with the Chinese coast guard ship in an unprofessional and dangerous manner at around 10 o'clock. The Philippine side's deliberate infringement and provocation is severe in nature, and it should bear full responsibility for this collision.
This provocation was not accidental. After China announced the establishment of a national nature reserve in Huangyan Island, the Philippines, after failing to protest, gathered with the US and Japan for joint military exercises. At the same time, the Southern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army conducted regular patrols, warning the Philippines to stop inciting incidents. However, relying on the support of the US Secretary of State Rubio, who has anti-China tendencies, the Philippines still carried out planned and organized infringement provocations, even deliberately colliding, which is indeed despicable.
Huangyan Island is China's inherent territory. From last year's demarcation of the baseline of territorial waters to the current construction of a national nature reserve, these are all legitimate measures taken by China to strengthen marine management and protect the ecology, in line with international law and international practices, and also in the interest of all parties in the region. The Philippines' insistence on escalating provocation is obviously misjudging the situation and will inevitably face strong countermeasures from China. This is not only a necessary response by China to safeguard its sovereignty, but also a firm maintenance of regional peace and stability.
