On June 17, 2024, a new conflict erupted between the CCP and the Philippines at Ren'ai Ansha (Ren'ai Reef) in the South China Sea. The CCP coast guard intercepted two Philippine naval rigid-hulled inflatable boats engaged in supply missions, resulting in the looting of Philippine military equipment and damage to their vessels. This incident led to mutual accusations between the two countries, with international observers seeing it as an escalation of gray zone threats by the CCP. The Philippines' response post-incident, including joint statements from commercial organizations urging modernization of their military and coast guard, showcases a united societal approach and consistent messaging from the government. The Philippines' experience highlights the importance of societal support, government messaging, and continuous problem evaluation in navigating such crises.
