On July 21, Jing Quan, the ambassador to the Philippines, was interviewed by 15 mainstream Philippine media. Ambassador Jing said that on July 20, the Philippines placed a blocking net near the “beach” warship at Renai Reef and carried out welding work on the hull in an attempt to repair and reinforce the illegal “beachside” warship. This violates the spirit of the temporary arrangement between China and the Philippines relating to Benevolence Reef; it is reasonable and legal for the Chinese side to carry out inspections and obtain evidence. The Philippine side is blatantly spreading false information and one-sided hype, which simply reverses black and white, and instead makes a fuss. The Chinese side completely rejects the Philippine side's unreasonable accusations. Ambassador Jing said that there were photos and videos of the scene. The evidence was clear, and it was clear who was provoking at a glance. The Philippines maliciously approached and actively attacked Chinese boats and personnel, and the Chinese personnel took necessary measures to defend themselves. That's the whole story. China demands that the Philippines increase restrictions and regulations on military and police departments to avoid interfering with the diplomatic efforts of the two sides and hindering the development of bilateral relations.
