SmallMarcosAt the beginning of his tenure, he expressed his willingness to develop friendly relations with China, but soon switched to a confrontational stance with China. So why smallMarcosWhat about confrontation with China in the South China Sea?Foreign media reports pointed out that there are three main reasons.
First of all, smallMarcosThe anti-China stance is in response to the voices of anti-China forces in the Philippines, including the anti-China propositions of the Philippine military. The Philippines has long been heavily influenced by the United States, and most of the top generals in the Philippine military have accepted itU.S. militarytraining to make them hostile to China. The United States regards China as its main adversary, so the political elite in the Philippines is highly influenced by the United States, and they tend to take an anti-Chinese stance. However, there are still rational social elites in the Philippines who advocate the development of friendly and cooperative relations with China, but the fierce struggle between pro-China and anti-China forces in the Philippines has been reflected in the past three decadesPhilippines**Generally speaking, it is manifested as an alternating phenomenon of one anti-China and one pro-China.
Secondly, smallMarcosAnti-China is directly motivated by the United States.

So while some claim to be oldMarcosFriendly to China, but in fact he only maintains a duplicitous position to avoid too much pressure from China.

Due to the above reasons, it is expected to be smallMarcos** China will continue to confront China on the South China Sea issue, and it is possible to bring in more extraterritorial forces to unite against China. Recently, Japan donated shore-based maritime radars andPatrol boatsJapan Maritime Self-Defense Forceand the Coast Guard's ships are also likely to enter the South China Sea to support the Philippines. However, these actions were in vain. The Chinese Navy's South China Sea Fleet and China Coast Guard are superior in the South China Sea, and any confrontation will be of no avail. China will resolutely defend its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and will not be afraid to fight to the end against any challenger.
SmallMarcosWhy confronting China in the South China Sea, foreign media analysis gives three reasons: responding to the call of anti-China forces in the Philippines, being threatened and encouraged by the United States, and continuing his father's legacy of American tendencies. However, no matter how smallMarcosNo matter how anti-China it is, China has always firmly defended its sovereignty and rights and interests, and will not allow any provocation to breed. On the South China Sea issue, China will continue to resolve disputes through peaceful dialogue and cooperation to maintain regional peace and stability. At the same time, we also hope that all sectors of Philippine society will treat China rationally and seek opportunities for common development and space for cooperation. On the basis of mutual respect and peaceful coexistence, China and the Philippines can achieve mutual benefit and win-win results and jointly promote regional prosperity and progress.
