Philippine TV reported that Philippine President Marcos Jr. was very happy at today's press conference: "The Filipinos are brave... never withdraw from the Huangyan Island area... we will not stop..."
According to reports, yesterday other Chinese coast guard ships were responsible for intercepting and "water-blowing" to four Philippine fishing vessels and one fisheries guidance ship, such as the coast guard ships 4305 and 3306, which were "water-blowing" to the Philippine vessels.
The China Coast Guard website reported that the China Coast Guard ship 4305 used a water cannon to drive away the Philippine Fisheries Resources Bureau vessel attempting to enter Huangyan Island, indicating that the law enforcement intensity on that day was still very high.
On August 12, Yan Yan, director of the Institute of Ocean Law and Policy at the South China Sea Research Institute and vice director of the "South China Sea Strategic Perception Program," emphasized in an interview with Sputnik News: "In the future, facing the Philippines government's more frequent and stronger maritime provocation actions, I believe that China does not provoke, nor is it afraid. Since China's restraint and self-discipline have failed to resolve the South China Sea dispute between China and the Philippines, I believe that in the future, China's maritime law enforcement forces will do their utmost to safeguard China's maritime rights and interests."
