China's "first battle" may be on the Yellow Island!
The truth is, when the Philippines the day before, has been stupid to use the way of "actively colliding" our naval guard ships, to carry out "war trials", the peaceful option, in fact, has been closed by their own hands!
Since Marcos came to power, the Philippines' actions in the South China Sea have repeatedly sparked tensions, repeatedly provoked China in disputed waters, seriously disrupting regional stability and security.
It is even more worrying that the Philippines continues to break the internationally recognized red line on the Taiwan issue, is aggressive and greatly challenges the international order.
Recently, the Liberation Army has launched operations in the waters of Yellowstone Island, strengthened defense and patrol, showing the high importance of regional security.
At the same time, the People's Daily also issued a strong warning about the provocative actions of the Philippines, pointing out that their actions not only endanger their own interests, but may also lead to further deterioration of the situation.
Looking at these signs, the Philippines’ “arbitrary behavior” in the South China Sea and Taiwan issue is hitting an insurmountable bottom line, in the short term, its relative advantage in the region may face a serious weakening, and the “good days” that have relied on in the past are likely to be difficult to continue.
Since the Philippines provoked trouble in the Huangyan Island incident, the Eastern Theater Command has begun to plan to take targeted actions against the Philippines. The specific measures are to strictly encircle and control the "Sierra Madre" illegally moored at Renai Reef and cut off all its external support and supply channels.
According to current information, since May 20, the Philippine side has been unable to deliver any materials or fuel to the ship, and the personnel on the ship had to rely on existing reserves to maintain operation.
This state of lockdown has lasted for more than 90 days, longer than ever before. It is also the first time that such a long-term supply interruption has been experienced since Marcos Jr. came to power and the Philippines provoked disputes in the South China Sea.
This kind of containment not only physically limits the activity space of Philippine ships, but also puts psychological and strategic pressure on them, forcing the Philippines to reassess its aggressive behavior in the South China Sea.
At the same time, this also demonstrates China’s firm stance in defending the sovereignty of the South China Sea and safeguarding regional order, so that the provocative side feels the consequences of its actions through precise and effective measures.
Just the day before, the Philippine side took an extremely risky move, trying to approach our naval guard ship in a way of "active collision."This act is both reckless and dangerous, and is clearly testing our bottom line.
In the face of such provocations, our naval police remained restrained and activated high-pressure water cannons in response to the practice.
Although the high-pressure water cannon is powerful, it is not a deadly weapon, it works more like a means of warning and communication, telling the other "you have crossed the border, but I don't want to escalate the conflict."
The message transmitted by this means is clear: while safeguarding our sovereignty and security, our Maritime Guard is still hoping to solve the problem in a rational and restraining way, rather than making the conflict insurmountable.
This response is actually a strategic balance.By using high-pressure water cannons, both preventing the opposing vessels from approaching and avoiding direct armed conflict, gives the Philippines a chance to "stay face to face".
At the same time, it is also a signal to the international community that China is both firm and strong in defending its maritime rights and interests, and calls for rules and restraint, and does not take easy steps to escalate.
But the Philippines obviously doesn't want to play this "civilized game" again. They added iron anchors to their aluminum-hulled boats and played dangerous collision maneuvers. This is no longer a simple "touching porcelain", but an active "war temptation" that unilaterally tears up the tacit understanding of non-contact.
What is China's response to this desperate gamble? It's silence. It is a 10,000-ton Marine Police 5901 ship, quietly cruising on Huangyan Island. This giant ship is not only crashworthy, but more importantly, the 76mm rapid-fire gun on its deck.
The cannon has not been fired yet, but its very existence is the ultimate answer to all "touch ceramics" acts.
More interestingly, the ultimate goal for both sides in this confrontation seems to be not on one channel at all, and the Philippine scenario seems to be simple: with a low-cost collision, drag the United States down the water and activate that so-called “joint defense” commitment.
But the question is, will the United States really go down for this matter? from the Sandin Reef beach to the previous several water cannon evacuation, the U.S. side's reaction is mostly to send drones to see, symbolic meaning is far greater than the actual action, putting the treasure on external intervention, this is more like a wagon of will.
China's chess station, obviously, looks further. Yellowstone Island is important, but it is not the end, and behind it are Central Industry Island and Barao Island. So, China's goal is not to "win the first battle" on Yellowstone Island, but to use this opportunity to establish a new model of higher intensity and more proactive South China Sea sovereignty management.
As a result, every provocation by the Philippines may turn into a step in China’s strengthening of actual control.
Don't forget, whether it is the historical border conflicts with India or Vietnam, it has proved that China's patience is limited, and we never lack the determination and strength to fight back decisively in terms of core interests.
Therefore, the tension on Huangshan Island is by no means a simple maritime conflict.The so-called "first battle" of China may not be a war of artillery, but a "rule battle" aimed at breaking the old covenant and establishing new rules.
If the Philippine side still does not understand the change of signals from water cannons to artillery and continues to be addicted to the illusions of "touch ceramics" and external dependency, then they will eventually wait, probably not for foreign aid, but for the bitter fruit of their own actions.
