The Philippines has been causing trouble in the South China Sea with the support of the United States, and China has implemented the largest-ever blockade of Yellowstone Island

  Recently, the Philippines again provoked incidents at Huangyan Island, leading to a new round of tense confrontation between China and the Philippines. On May 13, the "Atin-to" coalition loaded supplies and was about to invade the waters near Huangyan Island. The organizers held a press conference, arrogantly claiming that even if China increased the number of ships in Huangyan Island, they would not back down, and waved flags on the beach to boost their courage.2024051729096047.jpg

  Jay·Tale, spokesperson for the Philippine Coast Guard, claimed that many people criticized him as "an American lackey," which shows that he was aware of his role. The Philippines' aggressive provocation would not have been possible without the United States' backing behind the scenes. The United States has always emphasized the so-called "US-Philippines Common Defense System," which has made the Philippines feel like they have a big brother to lean on. But in fact, this big brother has once again abandoned his little brother and fled. The loyal little brother thought that the "big brother's" USS Roosevelt carrier strike group would support them, but now they have all disappeared without a trace.

  At present, several Chinese ships are already located near Huangyan Island. What is worth noting is that the US Navy's USS Roosevelt carrier strike group has been operating in the area since May 6, and suddenly moved to the area near Wan'an Tan in the South China Sea on May 13. The two places are about 1,200 kilometers apart, and the operational radius of the US aircraft carrier strike group is also 1,200 kilometers. The Philippines' aggressive provocation has caused the US aircraft carrier strike group to stay outside its operational radius and observe cautiously, appearing cowardly. In addition, the Philippine Coast Guard organized five commercial fishing boats and a large number of small skiffs, along with about 200 civilians, to sail to the waters around Yellowstone Island. Among them were more than 50 people who were disguised as journalists. On the 14th, the organization dispatched a 100-boat professional fleet to provide supplies to Filipino fishermen in the nearby waters. These actions show that the Philippines has always liked to send fishing boats to the South China Sea to disrupt activities, and relies on China not taking action against civilians to cause trouble.

  China made a good-faith arrangement in 2016 for a small number of Filipino fishing boats to engage in normal fishing activities near Yellowstone Island, and managed and supervised their relevant activities in accordance with the law. Yellowstone Island is China's inherent territory, and China has indisputable sovereignty and jurisdiction over it and its nearby waters. "If the Philippine side abuses China's goodwill, infringes on China's territorial sovereignty and jurisdiction, China will exercise its rights to counter it according to law," Wang Wenbin said. The Philippines must certainly regret this now, as they abandoned the "temporary special arrangement" and chose to stir up trouble in the waters near Yellowstone Island. More than 200 people on a small fishing boat were about to approach Huangyan Island when they were warned sternly by Chinese coast guard vessels that were on high alert. Even reconnaissance planes were warned to leave immediately, or else they would face being shot down. China has already expressed all its views to the Philippines and repeated them countless times, but the Philippines has not backed down and has instead become more aggressive.

  China has already taken strict preventive measures, according to AIS information on the morning of the 14th, there are a large number of ships deployed in the eastern, western and southwestern parts of Huangyan Island by Chinese side, and one ship has even approached the Philippines' exclusive economic zone. Former US Admiral Powell often incites the Philippines to create incidents in the South China Sea, he said this is the "largest scale blockade" he has seen so far.

  This shows China's determination to firmly defend its sovereignty over Huangyan Island, the more the Philippines makes a fuss, the more actions China will take on Huangyan Island. In addition to coast guard vessels and fishing boats, China's navy fleet has also conducted live combat exercises in the South China Sea recently.

  Recently, China has released the first aerial photographs of Huangyan Island. To be precise, in fact, the H-6K bomber flew over Huangyan Island for patrol in 2016, at the time of the tense standoff in the South China Sea. It seems that history is about to repeat itself again. At the same time, China has also released the successful sea rescue training conducted by China Coast Guard in the waters off Huangyan Island. It now appears that this exercise is also targeted. After all, the Philippines' "civilian boats" would be prepared with contingency plans if anyone fell overboard. It's worth mentioning that Chinese media has rarely revealed the situation at Ren'ai Jiao. Reporters found that the Philippine illegally grounded vessel was in a dilapidated and precarious state, and Filipino armed personnel were discharging sewage on it, seriously damaging the environment at Ren'ai Jiao and posing a serious threat to marine ecology. China cannot allow the Philippines to occupy the site for 25 years without fulfilling its promise to remove it, and it will take decisive measures to clear it out in this regard. Whether the Philippines uses its armed forces or so-called civilian forces, China has already made full preparations.

  May 1st is the fishing ban period along China's coast, and fishing is still possible near the Huangyan Island. As long as needed, the 350,000 fishing boats from Zhejiang and Shandong provinces can arrive on time. If the Philippines wants to challenge the civilian fishing boats, they have certainly made the wrong calculations. Protecting the sovereignty of the South China Sea is related to the new chapter of the family tree, and all troops can be deployed to Huangyan Island during the fishing ban period. If the Philippines wants to know how many 3,000-ton fishing boats China has, they will definitely be disappointed! If they want to see the same icebreaker as the Vietnamese wish for, we can also meet their needs! Radicals are likely to try to grab the spotlight by staging a scene of being bullied by China. And it cannot be ruled out that they will create dangerous situations and trigger fierce verbal warfare.
