First Exposure! Philippine Military Pulls Out Firearms to Counter China Coast Guard Enforcement, Our Coast Guards Shout: "Come at Me!"
On August 1, the CCTV special program "Struggle" first exposed the on-site enforcement action of our coast guard against Philippine infringing personnel in the Reed Bank.
At that time, our coast guards were preparing to tow away the Philippine infringing vessel from the scene, but the Philippine military soldiers on the dilapidated warship that had been stranded in the Reed Bank went desperate. They not only splashed an unknown liquid on our coast guard personnel, but also pulled out firearms to threaten them.
In response, our coast guard personnel showed no fear. They shouted at the Philippine military soldiers holding guns: "Come on, come at me," but the Philippine military soldiers ultimately lacked the courage to fire. Our coast guard successfully prevented the Philippine side from cutting the rope and towed the Philippine infringing vessel away in just six minutes.
Although the video did not reveal the specific time, based on the confrontation between our coast guard and the Philippine infringing personnel, it is speculated that this enforcement action by our coast guard against the Philippine infringing vessel was likely the Sino-Philippine maritime clash that occurred on June 17 of last year.
The Philippine Western Command deployed six inflatable boats carrying Philippine Navy special forces soldiers, attempting to forcibly enter the Reed Bank for a so-called "resupply mission." As soon as they arrived near the Reed Bank, they were intercepted and pursued by our coast guard.
The result is well known to everyone: the Philippine military's six speedboats were "completely destroyed," their firearms were confiscated by our coast guard, and one Philippine soldier had a finger crushed during the conflict when the boat was pinched.
After this confrontation, seeing that they had suffered a major loss, but the United States only gave some verbal support from start to finish, the Philippines finally became quiet for a period of time.
