China's SCS Strategy Thread

I don't think the water is actually penetrating the ship, it looks more like some of it is going over and running down the other side.

It's interesting that UM4 is being so heavily targeted though. It was first deployed last time, and drew the brunt of the attention then as well. I wonder what CCG doesn't like about it compared to UM1 or UM2. It's larger than the others, maybe something about the quantity of supplies?
It's probably something like UM4 being the bigger boat is more suitable for carrying building material. Question is how does CCG know which ship has building material without boarding and checking each one. Perhaps they have an inside man.

From my previous post, they are in need to fix the sewage system and I'm not joking as it affect the morale of the soldiers, image smelling the feces excrement everyday, you can't sleep or eat.
Perhaps they have an inside man.
The Chinese are eavesdropping the conversation between the ship and the Navy Headquarters as they use ordinary commercial radio to communicate.

It's quite obvious that CCG knows what's going on in Manila, as the first public indication of a resupply operation is always CCG taking up positions in advance. Could be HUMINT, SIGINT, whatever. Also they transferred at least some supplies from UM4 to the outpost via RHIB. Perhaps you are right about larger construction equipment and CCG is focused on limiting resupplies to only essentials.

I wonder if they'll prevent UM1 or UM2 from going and restrict it to RHIB only going forwards. Would make sense I think.

Why wouldn't the local MSM ask the same question? Ohhh!!!!! because he can censured it before an interviewed but by a foreign media outlet? Yeah he can't cause he is bestowed to them (he need them to project a good image for his family). I usually don't watch TikTok but for this one I'm thankful, maybe Marcos is one of those who funded the campaign to ban Tiktok using his Family billions.

34 Philippine personnel land on China's Tiexian Jiao, handled lawfully by Chinese coast guard: CCG



Phillippines up to no good in SCS again this time around Tiexian Reef, right after Blinken left. PLAN showed up this time.
Is there any way for China to hit back Phillipines economically or perhaps cyber attacks to cripple major nodes of their economy to make them stop with the provocations?
The PH have perhaps been instructed by uncle Sam to make these provocations routine so as to establish a new normal, the chain must be broken and they should be shown that the costs for them would be graver than the supposed benefits, if any, from such stunts.

The Danish F-16s will likely all be going to Ukraine. So I wouldn't count on that.
I think Argentina will also be getting shafted on that supposed purchase of 2nd hand F-16s.
So I think the Philippines should try getting their aircraft somewhere else.
India can help saar. Smallest RCS in 4th gen aircraft coz small size Tejas saar. Goes well with faulty Brahmos we just sold you saar, option to pay us in pineapple exports saar...

Yeah!!! the US just reaffirm its Commitment to defend the Island of the PHILIPPINES which include the three main island of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao under the MDT agreement which exclude the Spratlys....lol

Brave words coming from our government mouthpieces....lol BBM had NO shame to admit that he traded the nation interest to save his family ill gotten wealth which the US gov't unfreeze as part of a deal to spearhead the anti-China effort.

But THE REALITY on the ground is different, maybe the current administration had a reading comprehension problem. ;)

that it does not guarantee American aid in the West Philippine Sea disputes, and essentially argues that EDCA is only intended to assist, not supplant, Philippine national defense.



Despite the furor raised in some quarters, this is actually the most accurate and sensible statement that can and should be made concerning the EDCA. Any other statement would be a lie given the clear US position on the WPS disputes which have been consistently expressed for decades.

The Solicitor General’s admission highlights the cold reality of US policy on the disputes, and acknowledges that ultimately the burden of defending and protecting the national territory should always be the sole responsibility of the Philippine Government.

For the American to exclude the Spratlys is very wise and sensible, with multiple claimant, will they risk war with all of them? Heck the American can't lift a finger to support our claim in Sabah which historically and legally is ours and had a strong case against Malaysia.

I think China doesn't want to hit back at Philippines economically because it is hoping China friendly parties will come back to power soon. Maybe a 2016 v2 in SCS can stop Philippine and US aggression for a while.
