Tensions between China and the PhilippinesSecond Thomas ReefIn the context of the escalating incident, there seems to be a certain risk and uncertainty in the entry of Russia. On the one hand, Russia has not openly stated rightSecond Thomas ReefThe point of view of the event, but the choice to visit the Philippines in the name of a tour at this sensitive moment raises some questions. Russia's starting point may be to avoid publicly offending China in this way, but this euphemism appears insincere and raises doubts about Russia's intentions. On the other hand, Russia's entry into Hong Kong may be interpreted as a move by Russia to demonstrate its strength and increase its influence in the Asia-Pacific region. At present, the situation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has eased, plusThe White HouseThe shelving of aid plans for Ukraine has given Russia an incentive to increase its economic power and influence in other ways. However, the Philippines is backed by the United States, and Russia's hasty involvement could provoke a reaction from the United States, making such an action unwise at this time.
Russia has been committed to maintaining its regional and global influence, but in recent years, the ongoing crisis in Ukraine and Western sanctions have limited the pace of Russia's development. The current easing of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has given Russia an opportunity to reassess its existing influence and seek more opportunities for cooperation. However, Russia's choice to port into the Philippines at this time may be dissatisfied with China.

At present, Russia is seeking to ease relations with the West and revive its economy.

In addition, the Philippines may once again misjudge the situation due to the visit of Russia, leading to a further escalation of contradictions with China. However, China has not chosen to avoid disputes because of its lack of strength, but has maintained a restrained attitude based on the principle of communication to solve problems. China currently has enough maritime power to break the so-called first island chain of the United States and is about to have its ownAircraft carriers。This poses a challenge to the US approach to restricting China's development over the years, and it is also a wake-up call for small countries that vainly seek to challenge China's rights and interests.
