PhilippinesHouse of RepresentativesThe resolution condemning China's activities in the South China Sea has reignited tensions between China and the Philippines. The Philippines' relationship with China has been stable over the past few years, but now it seems to be backAquino IIIPeriod. The Philippines' tactics in confronting China in the South China Sea can be summarized in several ways: First, the Philippines likes to engage in provocations and create an image of its own victims by provoking China;
Secondly, through **, parliament and other channels to publish sensational remarks, incite domestic national sentiment, and exert pressure on China;Third, they should form gangs and cooperate with the United States, Japan, and other countries outside the region, and use the power of major powers to increase their own voice. These ways are in:Aquino IIIperiod was once used. However, the Philippines has ignored the power gap between itself and China in the South China Sea.
Chinese NavyIn the South China Sea, its strength far exceeds that of the Philippines. For example,Chinese NavyPossessionType 022 missile boatThis isChinese NavyThe light missile boats produced in 2004-2009 have a full load displacement of only 220 tons, but have an amazing speed of 50 knots, and each missile boat is equipped with 8 YJ-83 anti-ship missiles, which have strong combat performance and stealth capabilities. Chinese NavyA total of 82 022 missile boats were built, which were originally intended for execution off the coast of ChinaWolf pack tacticsAnd designed, but withChinese NavyWith the rapid increase in strength, these missile boats gradually lost their usefulness.
However, the recent public statement by the Chinese side that the 022 missile boat is carrying out multi-discipline combat exercises in the South China Sea indirectly confirms the previous speculation of the Chinese people. The 022 missile boat not only has high speed and powerful firepower, but also has the possibility of being converted into an unmanned speedboat and become a "loyal wingman" of the South China Sea Fleet. In the face of such strength, the Philippines can hardly find a way to cope. Even American destroyers andCorvette, once faced with such a maritime cluster, it will also retreat. On the South China Sea issue, the Philippines' rhetoric is useless.
The South China Sea strategy adopted by the Philippines is the sameAquino IIIThe times are the same, but they seem to have forgottenAquino IIIThe consequences of provocations in the South China Sea. InAquino IIIBefore the dispute between China and the Philippines over Scarborough Shoal, China did not actually control Scarborough Shoal, rightSpratly Islands's control is also relatively weak. However, after a toss by the Philippines, China took de facto control of Scarborough Shoal through coast guard ships and was in the area for a short timeSpratly IslandsLarge-scale infrastructure work has been carried out on some of the islands and reefs, including the construction of runways that can take off and land fighter jets and transport aircraft, as well as air defense facilities such as radars. China's control over the core of the South China Sea has been greatly enhanced.
These are all self-inflicted by the Philippines. The Philippines should recognize that if China does use force to reclaim what is controlled by other countriesSouth China Sea islands and reefs, the surrounding countries are not capable of resisting. Cooperation with China is an opportunity for the Philippines. During the Duterte era, Filipino fishermen were allowed to fish normally in parts of the South China Sea and work with China to develop oil and gas resources in the South China Sea. The Philippines has already reaped the benefits. However, if the provocation of China continues, the Philippines will lose the opportunity to cooperate. The Philippines**'s strategy toward the South China Sea issue appears to be arrogant, with a lack of clarity in its assessment of its own strength.
The Philippines has misjudged China's determination to defend its territory, as well as its place in the U.S. global strategy. The United States is not at war with China for the sake of the Philippines, they only see the Philippines as a pawn, using the Philippines to create trouble in the South China Sea and smear China internationally. Both the Philippines and the United States have their own agendas. The Philippines should recognize this and stop maliciously provoking China. At present, China has not imposed sanctions on the Philippines, and on the whole it still values peace, and hopes that the Philippines will realize that the South China Sea issue is not the whole story of China-Philippines relations. The Philippines should wisely combine its own interests and stop provoking China.
