Tensions between China and the Philippines have escalated, with Filipino Marcos making it clear in an interview that China poses a tangible challenge to its Asian neighbors and that the South China Sea issue has become a complex geopolitical challenge. This statement not only made China-Philippines relations more tense, but also triggered profound changes in the regional situation.
The South China Sea has always been a sensitive issue besetting the region, and friction between the Philippines and China has fueled geopolitical development. Marcos' hardline stance has attracted the attention of the international community, especially as the situation in the South China Sea has become more confusing as Japan strengthens cooperation and introduces military means.
It is worth noting that the joint military exercises between the Philippines and Japan have raised concerns about regional security. Such joint actions not only exacerbate tensions in the South China Sea, but also underscore the full picture of Marcos' ambitions. He has sought to strengthen his position in the South China Sea through alliances with countries such as Japan, and has expressed strong ambitions for the islands and reefs and the resources around them.
Against this backdrop, China has had to reassess its relations with the Philippines and think about how to respond to this complex geopolitical situation. While diplomacy remains an important means of resolving differences, it has become clear that military means have become one of the main ones.
As far as China is concerned, it cannot turn a blind eye to the South China Sea issue, let alone be forced to take the path of passive response. The Philippines' assertiveness requires a corresponding response from China to defend its core interests. At the same time, it must be recognized that the Philippines not only has ambitions on islands and reefs such as Ren'ai Jiao and Scarborough Shoal, but also aspires to acquire more resources within the islands and seas of the so-called "West Philippine Sea".
China can send a clear signal to the Philippines by taking decisive military action. Military intervention at key sites such as Second Thomas Shoal, blockade of islands and reefs, and deter provocative actions by the Philippines are necessary measures to maintain regional peace and stability. In addition, more forceful military measures, such as landing on the island and clearing the field, ramming and sinking the ship, are also effective ways to deal with Marcos's ambitions.
