"Is the Philippines Trying to 'Deceive and Wash Away' the Ship Again? Chinese Coast Guard Uses Water Cannons to Drive Away Philippine Intruding Vessels"

[Global Times - Global Network Report by reporter Fan Wei] According to an official report from the China Coast Guard, spokesperson Jiang Lue stated that on July 23, two Philippine government vessels, 3012 and 3018, disregarded repeated warnings and advice from the Chinese side and insisted on intruding into the waters under the jurisdiction of China's Huangyan Island. The China Coast Guard took necessary measures such as monitoring, external pressure, and blocking control to drive away the Philippine vessels, with operations being professional, standardized, and lawful. This incident of the Philippine side causing trouble at China's Huangyan Island occurred just three days after their conflict at China's Ren'ai Reef, and the same "tactics" in two hotspot areas in the South China Sea faced the same "treatment." Video obtained by a Global Times reporter shows that the China Coast Guard used water cannons to issue warnings to the Philippine government vessels attempting to intrude into the waters under the jurisdiction of Huangyan Island, and the Philippine vessels quickly retreated upon realizing the situation was unfavorable.
