Cross post from the SCS THREAD and perfect analogy to Zelensky.
The reality on the ground, this news is from a Oligarch control MSM (meaning Manny Pangilinan who had a stake in exploring the SCS for oil), there is a realization that Uncle Sam can't back their words with deeds after the US Congress VOTED DOWN Ukraine request for further aid.
This news is nothing new like I said before since 2012, the CCG maintain their presence by deploying a vessel inside and another one at the mouth of the lagoon.
Note that they didn't say that there is a vessel inside the lagoon, that statement indicates a toning down of rhetoric as the realization of Chinese determination set in.

The presence of Chinese vessels in Panatag Shoal further intensified in recent years, according to the Bigkis ng mga Mangingisda Federation in Masinloc, Zambales.
In this Feb. 27, 2015 photo provided by fisherman Renato Etac via the Associated Press, Chinese Coast Guard members approach other Filipino fishermen near Panatag (Scarborough) Shoal in the West Philippine Sea.
The China Coast Guard has deployed rubber boats around Panatag (Scarborough) Shoal to prevent Filipino fisherfolk from entering the lagoon, a fishers’ group said on Sunday, Oct. 1.
The presence of Chinese vessels in Panatag further intensified in recent years, the Bigkis ng mga Mangingisda Federation in Masinloc, Zambales added.
“The Chinese coast guard is on standby outside, but the Chinese rubber boats are patrolling the area and preventing Filipino fishermen from entering the lagoon,” the group’s spokesman Henrelito Empoc said in an interview over radio dzBB.
Empoc noted that the Chinese rubber boats tail the Filipino fishermen once they try to enter the lagoon.
“The Chinese fishing vessels are free to fish in the lagoon. We can prove to our authorities that the harassment of the Chinese coast guard has increased in the last months,” he said.
Empoc called on the Philippine Navy and Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) to assist Filipino fishermen in Panatag.
“The Filipino fishermen will be happy if that happens. There were times when foreign vessels entered our exclusive economic zone. They are near 80 nautical miles. We know that the foreign vessels have no right to enter water owned by the Philippines,” he said.
The revenues of fisherfolk have declined by 70 percent due to the limited access to fishing grounds, Empoc noted.
“Before the pandemic, the Chinese already dropped floating barriers, although they were removed because of the strong waves,” he claimed.
The PCG has vowed to “do whatever it takes” to remove any more floating barriers installed by China in the South China Sea.
The floating barrier was found across the entrance to the shoal last week during a routine Philippine government resupply mission to Filipino fishermen.
Coast Guard personnel cut a rope tethering the barrier to an anchor, allowing it to drift.
President Marcos earlier said that his government was “not looking for trouble” but he insisted it would “continue to defend the Philippines, the maritime territory of the Philippines, the rights of our fishermen to ply their trade in the areas where they have been fishing for hundreds of years.”
‘Empire of lies’
The Chinese Foreign Ministry on Sept. 30 called the United States an “empire of lies” after the US Department of State released a report alleging that Beijing spent billions of dollars annually for propaganda and disinformation to manipulate foreign information.
The report revealed that China invested billions in false information to promote positive views of China and the Chinese Communist Party.
“The PRC (People’s Republic of China) seeks to cultivate and uphold a global incentive structure that encourages foreign governments, elites, journalists and civil society to accept its preferred narratives and avoid criticizing its conduct,” the report stated.
“Some in the US may think that they can prevail in the information war as long as they produce enough lies. But the people of the world are not blind,” China’s foreign ministry said.

Absolutely doable - ship all those corns to Ukraine and use the corn seed in blowgun to kill at those Russians.
True... even JFK died of lead poisoning
As an aside, what's the average level of lead exposure in India?
Is there a single thing that China can gain from a Xi-Biden meeting?
Here's the result of the mental gymnastic event:
Team event.
Gold- India with a perfect routine led by Modi BJP.
Silver - Germany led by Annalena Baerbock with her 360 routine.
Bronze - The US led by Anthony Blinken with his jazz move.
Special mention
UK- Liz Truss running a close second with her geographic routine BUT miss the mark upon landing and was disqualify.

Xi can tell Biden to take it easy and retire after 2024. America will be in good hands
