Clarifications of rule 3

9 Upvotes

I've recently seen a couple of posts here(and in other parts of reddit) spamming the collision incident of the cutter Nanyu(南域, 3104, ex Ningming(宁明, 510)) which have been taken down for rule 3:

Now, discussion of the incident in a respectful manner is completely permitted; constructive criticsm can also be allowed. However, discussion in a manner mocking the damages to Nanyu will come in violation of rule 3, which covers:

  1. Advocating/endorsing violance against China, particularly troops/law enforceemnt.

Example: Saying philpine boats should "open fire" on chinese troops in chinese waters.

  1. Mocking/celebrating Chinese casualties/damages. Now, discussion of casaulties is permitted as long as it is in a respectful manner, such as "Rest in peace to ____" posts, while doing so in a completely disrespectful manner such as "Lmao ____ crashed" will result in a ban. This will include BOTH personnel casualties and equipment damage.

Rule 3 applies to, but is not limited to the following subjects:

Chinese people in general

People's Liberation Army (all branches)

People's Armed Police (including China Coast Guard)

Militia

People's Police (all branches)

Auxiliary police

Hong Kong Police Fore

China Fire and Rescue

Hong kong fire services department

Yuexiayuzhi 20028(粤霞渔指20028,) and Yuezhanyuke 6(粤湛渔科6号) are likely from zhanjiang indicated by their names.

The two fisheries research vessels found huangyan island's reefs are gradually naturally repairing; green sea turtles were also found in the island.

In addition, on June 19, philipine navy Miguel Malvar-class frigate BRP Diego Silang (FFG-7) attempted to enter chinese waters near huangyan island but was deterred by Type 054A frigate PLANS Tongliao(通辽, 554), type 054B frigate PLANS Qinzhou(钦州, 555), a type 056A light frigate, type 903A replenishment ship and type 815A spy ship. PLANAF Z-9 helicopters also helped to deter PCG planes.

Between june 15-21, Type 818 cutter CCGS Meiji(美济, 5304, Ex-46302) has also been on show of force patrols 81 KM east of huangyan island and 24 km off luzon island as surveillence of US and philipino exercises.

Outside of CCGS Meiji, the following CCG ships are on duty near huangyan island:

  • 3rd Bureau:
    • 3000 tonne electronic cutter CCGS Wanshan(万山, 3301, Ex-3306)
    • Type 056 light frigate/cutter CCGS Daji(大吉, 3107), Ex- PLANS Quanzhou(泉州, 588)
  • 4th bureau:
    • Type 056 light frigate/cutter CCGS Liyue(礼乐, 4110), Ex-PLANS Qingyuan(清远, 589)
  • Guangdong coast guard bureau
    • Shanwei coast guard bureau
      • type 031 patrol boat CCGS Zhongpeng(中澎, 21563)
    • Shantou coast guard bureau
      • type 031A patrol boat CCGS Shuangren(双仁, 21578)

As titled. And according to some insiders, 2 other islands were planned to be reclamed but Lingyao reef was chosen as first priority.

Thank you u/Key-Needleworker-702 for reminding. It should be Lingyang not Lingyao (i hate the autocorrect)

EW warfare measures were also used.

PLAN ships in the footage:

  • Type 056A block III light frigate Tianmen(天门, 631) - Beihai maritime garrison command 18th frigate flotilla
  • Type 056A light frigate Wuzhou(梧州, 626) - Beihai maritime garrison command 18th frigate flotilla
  • Recording only: Type 054A block IV frigate Dali(大理, 553) - Yulin navy base 19th frigate flotilla

Video should be from a J-11B or J-16. Very likely 6th, 128th or 129th aviation brigades.

My stance hasn't changed, China should establish some sort of permanent outpost on tiexian jiao(along with huangyan island etc);

Additionally filipino(or vietnamese, since they also claim it) personnel who enter all chinese maritime territory should be arrested and detained.
