In the South China Sea, a sea area with extremely high strategic gold content, dark clouds are gathering over it. In recent years, the Philippines has repeatedly launched provocations against China in the South China Sea, coupled with provocations by external forces such as the United States, which has led to the escalation of the situation in the South China Sea. Recently, Marcos of the Philippines has once again become the focus of attention, and he has made public his ideas and plans for the South China Sea in an interview with Japan. However, when we carefully interpret the truth, we can find that the complex situation revealed far exceeds our initial judgment, and the Philippines' South China Sea strategy actually includes the exclusive occupation of valuable resources in the South China SeaWhy did the Philippines dare to be so arrogant?
According to Marcos, tensions in the South China Sea are escalating, and the Philippines has signed a trilateral agreement with the United States and Japan to address the "challenge" posed by China. However, he believes that such an alliance is far from enough, and that the Philippines will strengthen its "alliance" on the South China Sea issue, whether bilaterally or multilaterally. Just when we were still seeking peaceful developmentMarcos has turned his ambitions to the vast energy reserves of the South China Sea. He said the Philippines was trying to address "exploration issues" in the South China Sea to meet its own energy needs.
Looking back at the developments in the South China Sea in recent years, we cannot but admit that after Marcos took office, the South China Sea issue began to become more complicated and risky, driven by his diplomatic strategy. In the early days of his administration, although he had anti-China ideas, he still did not dare to openly antagonize China. Now, with the deepening cooperation between the United States and the Philippines and Japan's official entry into the South China Sea, Marcos is becoming more and more emboldened.
In early November, Fumio Kishida visited the Philippines and Malaysia to strengthen defense and security cooperation with these two countries, and the Philippines did not refuse all "support", and then the two sides signed a "security assistance agreement.", which has undoubtedly further aggravated the situation in the South China Sea.
In the face of such a situation, what will happen to the issue of energy distribution between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea?It seems that the Philippines has insisted that "all disputed waters and their rights and interests belong to the Philippines" in accordance with its own laws, and even wants to jointly develop them with China in a "first-class" manner, which undoubtedly adds fuel to the fire. In the past six months, the United States and Japan have become the Philippines' dependence, which has made Marcos** enthusiastic about the so-called "South China Sea arbitration" surging, and they not only want to compete for islands and reefs in the South China Sea, but also want to dominate the huge treasures hidden in the South China Sea.
The South China Sea, with its rich oil and gas resources, biological resources and resources, is known as the "second Persian Gulf".。Disputes over this area are frequent because no one wants to suffer in the allocation of resources. However, the Philippines' actions are clearly even worse, and they are trying to seize power with the help of the United States, Japan, Australia and other forces, which may reveal their ultimate goal of confronting China.
However, if all countries in the South China Sea follow the example of the Philippines and take the initiative to become a pawn of the U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy, then the South China Sea will no longer be a region of peace and cooperation, and it is even more unimaginable that common development and prosperity will be achieved. The Philippines' actions will only put the entire region in a lose-lose situation, and the only real beneficiaries may be those who sit back and enjoy the benefits of the fisherman. The Philippines needs to be vigilant that its ambitions in the South China Sea are too big, and that if they don't exercise restraint, the outcome may not be as they imagined.
