(Manila Comprehensive) After two days of conflict in the South China Sea last weekend, both China and the Philippines were preparing for the situation upgrade.The Philippine military has set up a plan to deal with Chinese personnel forcibly boarding the Philippine ship.
Powell, the head of the Ocean Light Project of the Guo Di Jie Guojie Guoan Innovation Center, quoted the Planetlabs satellite image, saying that on Monday (December 11)As many as 11 Chinese maritime militia vessels, dozens of ships gathered in the surrounding areas.
Powell said: "The situation of Chinese ships entering the reef is very rare. 11 ships must be the highest number we have observed. This time the extremely unusual invasion seems to be a well -planned force display in Beijing."
The Philippines accused the Chinese maritime police accusing the Philippines from performing conventional supplies and rotating tasks last weekend, including to Scarberry Beach (China is known as Huangyan Island) and AhYunjin Reef provides a supply of high -pressure water cannons, colliding with the Philippine people's ships, and using a hard -shell inflatable boat to drive away the Filipino country fishing boat .
Powell pointed out that this is not the first time that China has tried to hinder the Philippines' implementation tasks. The previous situation was that once the Philippine ships and its escort leave, Chinese ships usually return to the nearby Meiji Reef.However, this time, "these vessels stayed for 24 hours, 11 of them still entered the shallow beach, and then returned to Meiji Reef."
The Meiji Reef is located about 240 kilometers west of Balawwin Island in the southwest of the Philippines. It is one of the most important islands and reefs in China in the South China Sea.
The Philippine official believes that the Chinese maritime police ship has been assisted by the Chinese maritime martial arts ships and harass the Philippine ship in the seawater area of Western Philippines.These maritime militia vessels pretend to be fishing vessels and move in western western seas of the Philippines.The Western Philippine National Special Forces reported on Monday that 46 Chinese ships, including two Chinese maritime police ships and 14 Chinese maritime militia vessels.
Special Forces believe that during the period of the Philippine ship to Ayunjin Reef and Scarberg's shallow beach, Chinese ships conducted dangerous exercises and launched water cannon attacks, marking the "serious upgrade" of the South China Sea.
The Commander of the Western Command of the Philippines said on Wednesday (13th) that the Philippines is formulating an emergency plan to deal with the harassment of Chinese ships, including how to repel the Chinese army that may be on the Philippine vessels.
Carlos said in an interview with CNN Philippine channel that in addition to no force attacks, China is expected to have more other threats."After the water cannon attack, they may try to board our ship, but we will not allow them to do so."
Carlos said that the Philippine military exercises and academic discussions on what actions China may take, including Chinese personnel trying to board the Philippine ship.He said: "We are gathered and worshiped for the deduction of military chess to prepare for any accident."
Zhang Xiaogang, a spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense Zhang Xiaogang on Friday (15th), said at a press conference that the Philippine ship deliberately "touched porcelain" and crashed the Chinese maritime police ship in a dangerous way to cause scraping.Ascending the "sitting beach" warship is a hype.
Zhang Xiaogang emphasized that China has arbitrary sovereignty over the Nansha Islands including Renai Reef and its nearby waters. "China will continue to take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard territorial sovereignty and marine rights."
