The Philippine Coast Guard ship 4409, and I am the Chinese Coast Guard ship 21556. China has indisputable sovereignty over the the Nansha Islands, including Ren'ai Reef, and the surrounding waters. In the spirit of humanism, we only allow the Philippines to enter ships transporting materials for illegal "beaching" warships. Official ships are not allowed to enter. To avoid miscalculation, we should immediately move away from the outside, or we will bear the consequences.

Illegal "sitting on the beach" for 24 years! Why is Ren'ai Reef experiencing waves again?

Ren'ai Reef is part of China's the Nansha Islands. On May 9, 1999, the Philippine tank landing ship "Madre Mountain" ran aground on the reef of Ren'ai Reef, and began illegal "sitting on the beach" under the pretext of needing "repair" due to damage. It has been 24 years since then. It is reported that the ship was built by the United States during World War II. In 1976, the Philippines acquired this warship and renamed it "Mount Madre" for service in the Philippine Navy. By 1999, the Madre Mountain had become very old.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement stating that "the Philippines has repeatedly made clear commitments to tow warships illegally 'docked' on the reef. However, 24 years have passed, and the Philippines has not only failed to tow the warship, but also attempted to carry out large-scale repairs and reinforcement to achieve permanent occupation of Ren'ai Reef. The Philippines' actions seriously violate international law and the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea signed between China and ASEAN countries. China once again urges the Philippines to immediately tow the 'docked' warships from Ren'ai Reef and restore its unmanned and facility free state."

Analysis: The United States is the biggest interfering factor in China Philippines relations


Three times within five weeks! Why does the Philippines frequently trespass on Ren'ai Reef?

Experts say it is rare for the Philippines to provoke so frequently on the South China Sea issue. Given its weak maritime power, the possibility of the Philippines doing so is greater due to external factors, or the United States encouraging the Philippines to act as a "pawn" to challenge China for exploration.

Reuters previously reported that under the leadership of Marcos, the Philippines has turned to its traditional ally, the United States, and its relationship with China has become increasingly tense. In early February of this year, during the visit of US Secretary of Defense Austin to the Philippines, the US and the Philippines announced an agreement: the Philippines agreed to open four more military bases for use by the US military. This move increases the total number of military bases that the United States can use in the Philippines to 9.Another base is in Barabak Island, near China's the Nansha Islands.

Some analysts believe that the Philippines is becoming a bridgehead for the United States to contain China. However, such a move towards the United States does not meet its demands for national security. The signing of visiting force agreements and other actions further stir up the situation in the South China Sea. If a conflict breaks out, the Philippines, which allows the United States to enter bases for attacking China, will inevitably be dragged into the battlefield, which is not conducive to its security.
