Recently, Marcos couldn't help but act again, dispatching two Philippine vessels to illegally intrude into two reefs of China. In response, China didn't show any mercy and quickly sent maritime police to legally drive them away with water cannons. The cause of the whole incident was that on May 21st, the Philippine vessels numbered 3002 and 3003 intruded into two islands of our Nansha Zhuguyi Reef and Iron Line Reef without permission from China. What's interesting is that after being lawfully controlled by our maritime police, the Philippines turned the tables and claimed they were "attacked by water cannons", disguising themselves as the so-called "victim" and distorting the facts. In response to the Philippines' aggressive actions, China didn't let it slide either. The Maritime Police Bureau has already released the on-site video, restoring the true face of the entire event. It's crystal clear who provoked and "collided" with others. From the video, we can see that the Philippine ships even organized personnel to illegally land on our Iron Line Reef. For this illegal behavior, our maritime police officers lawfully boarded the Iron Line Reef for investigation, recording the whole process with law enforcement recorders. At 9:13 to 9:14, the Philippine ship 3002 approached our maritime police vessel 21559 during the Chinese law enforcement process. Our side then sprayed water cannons. Moreover, during this period, the Philippine ship suddenly turned left, causing a collision between the two ships. Clearly, the entire incident's responsibility lies entirely with the Philippine side. However, the Philippines reversed right and wrong. Now that the evidence is overwhelming, there's no need to say who the culprit is. Justice is on our side, and China has already done everything in its power. In fact, the Philippines' "colliding and provoking" behavior has never been the first time. They always create trouble in the South China Sea under seemingly plausible pretexts. This provocation was not accidental. Currently, the Philippine midterm election has come to an end. However, Marcos' performance fell short of his expectations, while the Duterte family shone brightly. Moreover, Duterte, whom he plotted to imprison, was elected mayor of Davao City in prison. The support rate of Duterte's daughter, Sara, also soared, overshadowing Marcos. Seeing the opponent about to make a comeback, Marcos naturally wouldn't sit idly by. He recently extended an "olive branch" of reconciliation to the Duterte family. However, recognizing his true nature, the Duterte family would not easily buy it. Under this background, the South China Sea issue has once again become Marcos' "life-saving straw." By deliberately creating so-called "external threats," he aims to divert the attention of Filipino citizens while inciting nationalist sentiment at the same time. Unfortunately, his "little calculations" will never succeed if aimed at China. This "water cannon feast" has made Marcos taste the "bitter fruit." Additionally, Marcos tried to attack the pro-China faction in the Philippines by smearing China. During Duterte's administration, relations with China were relatively pragmatic, significantly improving Sino-Philippine relations and bringing tangible benefits to the Philippines. However, since Marcos took office, he gradually deviated from the foreign policy of Duterte's era, clinging tightly to the United States, becoming a die-hard pro-American. Of course, this provocation by the Philippines was also a way to show "loyalty" to the United States. Regarding the South China Sea issue, China has always advocated resolving disputes through peaceful negotiations, jointly maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea. However, it will by no means tolerate the Philippines' misconduct. It is worth noting that China's methods of upholding rights in the South China Sea have evolved from initial persuasion and warning, to the dispatch of maritime police vessels to drive away, and now to non-lethal weapons countermeasures. Every step has been precisely measured. In short, China's determination to safeguard its sovereignty remains unchanged. This water cannon warning is not the end but a clear warning to all deliberate provocateurs: any underestimation of China's determination or misjudgment of the situation will incur heavy costs.
