When it comes to this matter, we have to start from the South China Sea. Huangyan Island is originally China's inherent territory. It has been there for hundreds of years, but the Philippines always likes to stir up. Especially recently, China just announced the establishment of a nature reserve on Huangyan Island. No, in the early morning of September 16th, the Philippines couldn't sit still and directly sent more than 10 ships from the east, north, northeast and southeast. The fleet consisted of the Coast Guard's Gabriela Silang and Cabra, the Fisheries Service's Mamarakaya transport, and several Dato-class patrol boats, which made for a total of about 12 ships. They set off from the port of Zambales province in northern Luzon Island, and set off at 1 o'clock in the morning. Some ships even turned off the AIS signal and planned to sneak close.

This action by the Philippines is obviously aimed at the territorial waters of Huangyan Island. Under the banner of delivering supplies to fishermen, they say it is the "Kadiwa" fishery support mission. From 1 am to 8: 30 am, they transport fresh water, food, fuel and so on. But in reality, there was something else hidden under this supply cover. As soon as the fleet arrived at the place, it began to drill into the territorial sea baseline and adjacent area, maintaining a speed above 10 knots, trying to break through from multiple directions at the same time. In the east, the Dato M. Taladapit broke directly 14.5 nautical miles east of the island, and ships in the north and southeast followed suit. After analysis, this tactic is quite obvious. First, I want to escalate the situation and embolden myself; The second is to pull foreign forces into the water and hype the tone of "bullying the small with the big" through the media; The third is to brush the sense of existence, so that fishermen feel that they have a backing.

The Chinese Coast Guard has been prepared. There were already 12 law enforcement ships and naval ships near Huangyan Island, plus 5 large fishing boats, and an iron barrel array was laid out. At 4 o'clock in the morning, as soon as the Philippine ship assembled, the Chinese side took action. First, he shouted a warning and repeatedly informed him to withdraw from the territorial waters through radio and loudspeakers. The Philippine ship did not listen and accelerated, and some of it had entered the 24-nautical-mile contiguous zone. China immediately launched route control, and ships 4202 and 3305 intercepted them at high speed on the inside, blocking the way. Ships 3302 and 5101 outflanked from the flanks, ships 3301 and 3306 blocked the southeast direction, and boat 21559 was responsible for high-speed crossing to create pressure. The Philippine ship wanted to go around, but it couldn't get around, and the whole formation was stuck.

At 5:10 a.m., things escalated. Chinese naval police infiltrated 25 to 35 ocean miles of Philippine vessels with water cannons. High-pressure water columns directly hit through, covered wide, and the Philippine vessels speed suddenly dropped to zero. Some ships from low-speed navigation turned into a standstill state, AIS signals showed clearly. The east "Datu M. Taradat Pitt" was interrupted, and it was not possible to activate; the northern vessels tried to drop their heads and were also controlled. The Chinese side also used high-powered microwave radiation to interfere with their electronic equipment, and the instrument board jumped. The entire process continued until 8 a.m., the Philippine navy was completely suppressed, and the plan to

In this, there is another episode. At about 10 o'clock in the morning, the Philippine ship No.3014 was furious and directly collided with the Chinese marine police ship. The two ships collided, and the metal rubbed sparks. The Chinese ship stabilized the steering wheel and opened the distance to avoid greater conflicts. It's tense enough to put this matter in a sensitive place like the South China Sea. The Philippine fleet was dispatched in full force, with more than 10 ships coming from all directions. It was the first time that it was such a large scale. But the Chinese side responded steadily, with soldiers coming to block it, water coming to cover it, and law enforcement boats and fishing boats cooperated tacitly to drive them all out.

Then again, why did the Philippines play like this? After Marcos Jr. came to power, the South China Sea policy changed. When he becomes president in 2022, he quickly strengthens military ties with the United States, signs an agreement to allow the US military to use more bases, and also invites Japan and Australia to conduct joint exercises. Just a few days after China declared the reserve, the Philippine Coast Guard and the Fisheries Bureau joined forces to attack Huangyan Island. They launched ships from Manila Bay and northern Luzon Island at the same time, closed AIS stealth, and the speed was full. It was clear that they wanted to make a quick decision and create a fait accompli. Supplying fishermen is an excuse, but actually they want to brush their existence in territorial waters, escalate friction, and shout "confrontation to the end" by the way.

On this side, the law enforcement is understood. Yellow Island is the inherent territory of the South China Sea, in international law adjacent to the area 24 nautical miles, exclusive economic zone 200 nautical miles, the Philippine ship breach is a violation. China Marine Police Press spokesman Geng Feng spoke in the afternoon, highlighting the facts: September 16, the Philippine ship illegally invaded, the Chinese side regulated in accordance with the law, including water cannons and other measures. There is no further explanation on the statement process. After the Philippine ship was hit by water cannons, some damage was obvious, the ship's body bended, the propulsion engine out of the problem, had to be dragged away. More than 9 o'clock in the morning, they continued low-speed evacuation,

The entire day, the mainstream media in the Philippines was collectively silent.ABS-CBN TV, the Philippine Star, GMA TV, PTV TV, nothing to mention this.The morning news broadcast, noon talk about the economy, at night play sports, and nothing happened on Yellow Rock Island. The Foreign Ministry building was quiet, the presidential palace meeting broadcast satellite maps, but no noise to the outside. The Little Marcos authorities this time planted, the ship crew slipped back, missions failed, fishermen white, etc. The domestic public began to whisper, this South China Sea strategy is not worth it, economic connections broke.
