France International Radio reported today (August 23): "The Chief of the Philippine Armed Forces said regarding the tension in the Scarborough Shoal: 'If one Filipino dies, that is the red line.'"
[Witty] Comment a few words: On May 9, 1999, the Philippine Navy sent a dilapidated tank landing ship "Sierra Madre" to the Scarborough Shoal, using the clumsy excuse of "leaking hull," allowing the ship to "run aground" on the Scarborough Shoal. Since then, the Philippines has set up checkpoints on the ship, arranged for soldiers to take turns guarding it, and continuously supplied it with provisions. They attempted to turn a so-called "accidental grounding" farce into an illegal occupation of the Scarborough Shoal. After 26 years, the Philippines has not only failed to tow the ship away, but also attempted to carry out large-scale repairs and reinforcement on it, revealing their clear ambition to permanently occupy the Scarborough Shoal. For this, we really need to make a decision early. Now the Philippines is escalating its actions, and we can no longer tolerate it unconditionally. It's time to take a clearing action, to completely remove this "thorn" illegally stationed on the Scarborough Shoal with a thunderous force, making the Philippines clearly aware that any act of infringing upon China's sovereignty will come at a heavy price, resolutely safeguarding national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
