It seems that the Philippine authorities have started causing trouble after the September 3rd military parade: they are once again targeting the amphibious ship that is illegally grounded at Ren'ai Reef, attempting to transport supplies and building materials. According to the World Shipping System information on September 4th, the Philippine Coast Guard's patrol vessel "Bagacay" has once again entered the South China Sea and arrived near Xinyi Reef. The largest Philippine Coast Guard patrol vessel, "Melchora Aquino", also launched on September 4th and may have entered the South China Sea.
According to the Philippine side, on the morning of September 4th, four Philippine coast guard vessels, including the "Melchora Aquino" (97 meters), "Bagacay" and "Malapascua" (two 44-meter class vessels), all set sail. It is estimated that they may be heading to Ren'ai Reef to cause trouble. Most likely, on the evening of September 5th, the Philippine Coast Guard will take concrete actions.
It is reported that Chinese coast guard ships are monitoring the Philippine coast guard vessels comprehensively. As of September 4th, according to the current information, the Philippine Navy landing ship that is illegally grounded at Ren'ai Reef has not received any supplies for 112 days (the last supply was on May 16, 2025), which is a record, the longest time ever, with supplies cut off by China. It can be said that the Chinese coast guard is performing its duties in accordance with the law to safeguard sovereignty and firmly maintain maritime security and stability. We have completed our major tasks, the guests have been sent away, it's time to make a decision and clean up the house! We should take a strong action now, the Philippine authorities are too active. Let's see if these Philippine marines really have the spirit to starve rather than withdraw. We won't fire the first shot, but we can use laser cannons! We will definitely take good care of them!
