On October 16, two Philippine reconnaissance aircraft illegally entered the airspace of China's Yunnan Island, although the Chinese maritime police took measures against them in accordance with the law, conducted control and evacuation, and so on.

It should be noted that this is another provocative act in the direction of the South China Sea by the Philippines within a week.

The Philippine side, which claims to be familiar with China¡¯s behavior pattern, believes that the principle of ¡°not shooting first¡± is their symbol, but forgets that this dangerous gambling will be unbearable once the misjudgment occurs.

Liu Dejun, spokesman of China Coast Guard, made a talk on October 16th, revealing the recent nuisance and provocation of the Philippines in the South China Sea. The Philippines provoked China under various pretexts.

The provocative actions of the Philippines have spread from the sea to the air, showing a comprehensive, multi-level probation.

On the day of the incident, the Chinese Coast Guard's disposal of controlling and evicting demonstrated China's firm determination to safeguard national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.

Huangyan Island and its affiliated islands have been China's inherent territory since ancient times. The Chinese Coast Guard continues to carry out rights protection and law enforcement activities in the waters under China's jurisdiction in accordance with the law, which is the legitimate exercise of national sovereignty.

The adventure of the Philippines is based on three serious strategic misjudgments.

First, the Philippines misjudged China's bottom line. They think that if China adheres to the principle of "not firing the first shot," it can provoke without bottom line.

Unfortunately, according to China¡¯s National Defense Law and international law, if we are seriously provoked, the Chinese military has the full right to take necessary self-defense measures, including the use of weapons.

Second, the Philippines has also misjudged the sensitivity of the regional situation.The provocative actions of the Philippines not only seriously violate China's sovereignty, but also undermine regional peace and stability.

Third, more seriously, the Philippines mistakenly judged the consequences of their behavior, believing that such "cannabis-cut" experiments could control the risk, but forgetting that unfortunate events could happen at any time in the military confrontation.

Once an accidental collision occurs, the Philippines will pay a heavy price for its risky behavior.

Undoubtedly, the provocative behavior of the Philippines is essentially a dangerous gamble.

They seem to think that through military cooperation with certain countries outside the territory, they can enhance their encryption in the South China Sea.Unfortunately, such acts of intrusion will not only bring any substantial benefits to the Philippines, but may make themselves victims of the game of great powers.

The use of grey-zone tactics has become an important means for the Philippines to test China's bottom line.From official vessels entering the territorial sea, to reconnaissance planes illegally entering the airspace, the provocative behavior of the Philippines has shown a gradual trend.

Faced with the provocation of the Philippines, China's response has fully demonstrated the strength and wisdom of the great powers.

China Coast Guard has taken professional, standardized, legitimate and legal measures in its law enforcement actions in the waters of Huangyan Island.

In the international public opinion field, China insists on responding to provocations with the language of law, which is also to establish a rule-oriented dispute resolution paradigm, to say the truth, we cannot fall into the philippinian dictionary circle.

This is not only a response to the provocative behavior of the Philippines, but also a manifestation of China's position of peaceful settlement of disputes by the international community.

While China firmly upholds its sovereignty, it is also strengthening our control of the islands in the South China Sea.

Not long ago, China officially approved the new Huangyan Island National Nature Reserve, which can be said to be an important step for us to strengthen the control of Huangyan Island and deal with the provocation of the Philippines.

Safeguarding sovereignty and ecological protection simultaneously demonstrates China's responsibility as a responsible big country.

The Philippines must understand that China¡¯s restraint is limited.

Every provocation by the Philippine aircraft is on the edge of the Red Line.

In short, throughout history, from the "MiG Corridor" to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea in 1951 to the withdrawal of the US aircraft carrier in the South China Sea in 2016, China's determination and ability to safeguard national sovereignty have never wavered.

If the Philippines continues to make such bottomless provocations, it will be countered by China sooner or later. They use ships to provoke and have been severely taught by the Chinese coast guard repeatedly. Now, they are beginning to use military aircraft to provoke, thinking that they will not be shot down, but again, this is a dangerous gamble. Once any unexpected situation happens, the Philippines needs to take full responsibility.

For a country, the red line of sovereignty and territorial integrity cannot be touched, which is the core of its core interests.

Today¡¯s China has both a firm will and a strong strength to let any risky action pay its due price.
