Footage captures the Chinese Coast Guard closely monitoring the process as a Philippine ship sends supplies to their illegally stationed Coast Guard ship 9701 at Xianbin Reef!
The ship 9701 has been illegally grounded at Xianbin Reef for almost three months.
The Philippines has openly declared its intention to replicate the grounding of a ship at Ren'ai Reef 25 years ago.
The Chinese Coast Guard responded to the provocation with restraint and kept the situation under control.
If the Philippines believe that continued provocation will gain them leverage, they are mistaken.
