China and the Philippines have reached the brink of misfire on the South China Sea issue, fortunately the Philippines has not lost its mind, and some people even said that China has been polite enough to the Philippines, and if it is a different country, I am afraid that the outcome will not be like this.
For example, the Manila Times, which is extremely well-known in the Philippines, said that the Philippines is clearly out of touch with reality on the South China Sea issue, and that the solution to the problem can only be achieved through arduous negotiations.
At present, the Philippines has been tossing and turning on the Ren'ai Jiao issue for another half a year, and even said that it wants to regain control of Scarborough Shoal, but it has only been tossed for so long, and it has only tossed a loneliness.
So some smart people in the Philippines are wondering, is there any point in us doing this?Against the backdrop of anti-China sentiment across the country, it is indeed rare for the Manila Times to make such a noise. The newspaper believes that if the Philippines faces Vietnam, it will not only be a water cannon, but a direct attack with a carrier-based **.
At the same time, the ** also stressed that the South China Sea is not only an issue between China and the Philippines, but also has sovereignty blockade over the South China Sea by Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, etc., if China really does not care about the territory of the South China Sea, then various countries will flock to it, and then the situation will be even more chaotic.
The strength of the Philippines is too weak, even against Vietnam and Malaysia, there is not much chance of victory. This would lead to the isolation of the Philippines within ASEAN and ultimately ASEAN**.
The reason why the United States supports the Philippines is actually that it wants to use the Philippines as a pawn. Even if it is to give the Philippines some benefits for the time being, it will not benefit the Philippines for a long time.
The ** also analyzed that compared with relying on the United States to be aggressive in the South China Sea, it is better to adopt China's methods, put aside disputes, and jointly develop.
In fact, not only **, but also the business community is very dissatisfied with the current practice of the Philippines. The vice chairman of a well-known Philippine investment company publicly expressed the hope that Marcos Jr. would not be too hostile to China in order to avoid getting involved in the big chess game of Sino-US conflict, and hoped that the Philippines would remain calm.
He also said that China had already used ** in the South China Sea. This is also very rare in recent years, and the Philippines must pay attention to these changes in China. After all, whether in terms of morality or strength, the Philippines does not have an advantage, and it is the best choice for the Philippines to stop as soon as possible.
