China's "first battle" may have been in Yellowstone!Many people still think that we will continue to "patience" with the Philippines. wrong?The truth is, when the Philippines the day before, has been stupid to use the "proactive collision" of our ships, to carry out "war trials", the peaceful option, in fact, has been closed by their own hands!

In the early morning of September 16th, the South China Sea once again became the focus of international spotlight. Despite China's repeated warnings, the Philippine government mobilized a number of official ships to forcibly break into the territorial waters of Huangyan Island, China, and took a highly provocative act of "actively accelerating collision" to directly confront Chinese marine police ships.
Such acts are not accidental, but a deliberate "war trial", attempting to explore the bottom line and patience of China in the South China Sea issue.The suddenness and intensity of the incident has made the previously sensitive South China Sea situation suddenly warmer again, and has also made the already difficult China-Philippines relationship again tense.
The island has been China's inherent territory since ancient times, this position has long been fully supported by historical and legal evidence. However, in recent years, the Philippines has been constantly making friction in the region, trying to gradually change the status quo through frequent "breakthrough", "supply" and "building" methods.
Different from the previous "symbolic" existence, this action obviously has provocative intentions and is a premeditated tentative action. The Philippines' move almost closed the peaceful option of resolving disputes through diplomatic consultation, making the whole South China Sea region face greater uncertainty.
In the face of this naked provocation, the Chinese Marine Police showed an extremely decisive response. Maritime law enforcement forces quickly assembled, maintaining a high degree of restraint in the confrontation but never giving in. In the end, a Philippine Coast Guard ship was forced to surrender with a white flag under pressure, and this picture became the focus of foreign media reports.
China's practical actions have shown that any infringement of sovereignty and maritime rights and interests will not succeed, and the wrong prediction of "China will endure" will completely go bankrupt. This move not only shocked the Philippines, but also sent a clear signal to other external forces that may be lucky: China has absolutely no room for concessions on territorial issues.
On the one hand, some Philippine politicians, deeply influenced by Western forces, view the South China Sea issue as a tool for gaining international attention and diplomatic coding; on the other hand, they mistakenly believe that China will tolerate “small bats” repeatedly in order to maintain regional stability.
This judgment not only underestimates China’s ability to counter, but also ignores China’s public opinion’s high sensitivity to national sovereignty and dignity. No country’s strategy can be based on fantasy, while the Philippines still seems to have the naive idea of forcing China to make concessions through provocation.
International public opinion quickly focused on the South China Sea after the incident. Contrary to the expectations of the Philippines, the international community is generally critical of its actions. Even some western media with close ties with the Philippines have to admit that it is an "extremely irrational" behavior to actively collide with other countries' coast guard ships.
Most countries tend to understand and support China’s actions to defend its sovereignty, and believe that showing the bottom line of great powers is a necessary condition for regional stability.
Some public opinions also began to question the strategy of the Philippines, believing that its frequent provocation not only failed to gain more bargaining chips, but aggravated the complication of the situation in the South China Sea and further reduced the sense of security of regional countries.
The future of the South China Sea is full of uncertainty.The Philippines currently lacks sufficient military and economic power to truly challenge China’s sovereignty, but there is a pushback from external forces behind it, and if new misjudgments arise, similar friction events may happen again.The Chinese attitude is very clear: no matter how the situation changes, the position of defending national sovereignty and maritime interests will not shake.
China is not only capable, but also determined to ensure that Huangyan Island and other waters are not violated by any external forces through legal, diplomatic and necessary actions.
Whether the South China Sea can return to calm depends on whether the Philippines and related countries can learn from this incident, stop provocation and return to the negotiating table.
