After the intense confrontation at Ren'ai Reef, the Chief of Staff of the Philippines warned: "The red line must not be touched."
Recently, authoritative Chinese media released information that the Philippines has once again taken provocative actions at Ren'ai Reef. Facing the Chinese vessels conducting normal law enforcement at Ren'ai Reef, the stranded landing ship lowered two small boats to try to interfere with us. Subsequently, they were driven away by our front-line law enforcement personnel.
After this incident, the Chief of Staff of the Philippines, when interviewed by the media, stated, "If any casualties occur among the Philippine military on the Madsen Mountain, even if one soldier is killed, it will trigger the red line that the Philippines has already set."
The red line mentioned by this high-ranking official of the Philippines refers to the possibility that the Philippines may take military measures to defend their so-called rights. Before this, this Chief of Staff had previously claimed that the Philippines has already formulated an emergency plan. If China takes radical measures and directly boards the landing ship, then the Philippines' military action will also follow immediately.
Wow, it seems that this Chief of Staff from the Philippines is speaking quite convincingly, as if Ren'ai Reef belongs to them. As for the so-called red line that the other side has drawn, personally, I think that for us, directly boarding the old landing ship now would not be of much interest. However, if the Philippine military members on the landing ship frequently come ashore to harass our normal activities, we cannot rule out the possibility of driving them away, even detaining them, and possibly some casualties. If the Philippines believe that this has already touched their red line, then they can certainly use their so-called military measures. We are curious to see what the military measures of this South China Sea country are like, and also want to see how red their red line really is.
It's simply being overly arrogant and reckless.
