Title: The South China Sea: The Waves Behind China-Philippines Friendship.
The South China Sea issue has never faded from focus and has become a stumbling block to China-Philippines relations. At one point, the atmosphere of optimism quickly dissipated with Marcos Jr.** coming to power. From this perspective, it is clear that the Philippines has adopted a hostile stance toward China and has ignored the existing consensus between the two countries. From this perspective, the South China Sea issue is becoming more and more acute, and China-Philippines friendship is facing a storm.
China and the Philippines have been engaged in ongoing disputes over the South China Sea. Since Duterte came to power, China-Philippines relations have improved significantly, and even successfully signed a memorandum of understanding on the South China Sea issue. This memorandum of understanding has injected vitality into friendly and cooperative relations and laid a solid foundation for subsequent negotiations and cooperation. The establishment of the mechanism has made a great contribution to maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea. However, all this optimism quickly collapsed after Marcos Jr. came to power.
The Philippine side's actions are not only ignoring consensus, but also blatantly provoking China. The Philippines is clearly carrying out so-called "maintenance and upgrading" projects near China's islands and reefs, claiming to build radar and surveillance systems in these areas. Such behavior poses a threat to China's security and interests, and also poses a hidden danger to regional peace and stability. The Philippines also violated the fishermen's shelving agreement by detaining and violently expelling Chinese fishermen, and submitted these acts to some international organizations to smear and slander China. The Oxbow Reef incident is even more outrageous, as the Philippine side openly accuses China of illegal operations, but it is denied by facts and international law, but it still deliberately distorts the facts and gives China unwarranted provocations and attacks. Such behavior has undoubtedly created a huge obstacle to the friendly and cooperative relations between China and the Philippines.
However, in the face of all this, China has always maintained rationality and restraint and firmly defended its rights and interests. It resolutely opposes and condemns the actions of the Philippine side, but has always advocated resolving the South China Sea dispute through dialogue and negotiation. This stance and stance not only demonstrates China's firmness, but also sets the right way for other countries to resolve the South China Sea issue.
Such a situation inevitably sparked discussions among netizens. Many people are outraged by the Philippine side's actions, believing that they ignore international law and disrespect facts, and pose a serious threat to regional peace and stability. Some expressed their support for China, believing that China has always safeguarded its legitimate rights and interests, acted steadily and rationally, and made positive contributions to regional peace and stability.
The complexity of the South China Sea issue cannot be easily resolved. In the face of challenges, China remains committed to resolving the problem in a rational manner and hopes to reach consensus through the joint efforts of all parties to maintain regional peace and stability. This process requires not only the cooperation between China and the Philippines, but also the objectivity and impartiality of other countries, as well as appropriate support and assistance. It is hoped that all parties will remain rational on the South China Sea issue, not bury hidden dangers for regional peace and stability, and contribute their due efforts to this end.
The second half will be continued).
The South China Sea issue has always been a topic of concern to us. To be honest, I was really angry and helpless to see this behavior of the Philippine side. After all, China has always been firmly defending its rights and interests, but the Philippines is like a troublemaker, trying to find fault. This oxbow reef incident is simply a joke, it is obviously China's own territorial waters, doing its own legitimate operations, and it has to be distorted into the so-called "territorial sea encroachment".
Moreover, the Philippine country's actions on the South China Sea issue are really eye-catching. Not only did they ignore the consensus they signed earlier, but they also deliberately provoked them by carrying out so-called "maintenance and upgrading" projects near China's islands and reefs. Not to mention that the Philippines does not understand international law, even if it does not understand the facts, it is enough to dare to say that such behavior is a "reasonable action". Isn't this adding chaos to regional peace and stability?
If anyone is constructive on the South China Sea issue, it must be China. Since Duterte came to power, China-Philippines relations have been very good, and a memorandum of understanding on the South China Sea issue has been signed, and a first-class mechanism has been established. But how can the Philippines do this, as if nothing had happened, and not respect the previous consensus at all?
Let's see what netizens have to say. Some people can't see this kind of behavior of the Philippines and bluntly think it's too unreasonable. I feel that the Philippines is not only making trouble for itself, but also bringing instability to the region. However, there are also those who support China. He believes that China has always abided by international law, safeguarded its own rights and interests, and is a responsible country.
The South China Sea issue is not so easy to solve. China has always advocated resolving the issue through dialogue, which is also the most reasonable way. Of course, in addition to the efforts of China and the Philippines, other countries should also give appropriate support and assistance, so as not to cause chaos at such a critical time. I hope that everyone can look at the South China Sea issue calmly and rationally, because after all, it concerns the peace and stability of the entire region, and no one can take it lightly.
