The attitude of the Philippines has changed, and Marcos has called for avoiding war, saying that he will not expel the Chinese ambassador
Marcos called for violence to be avoided.
Marcos Marcos, the Philippines, outlined his stance on avoiding violent conflict in a recent interview with Japan. He stressed that the Philippines will continue to engage in dialogue with partners in an effort to reach a common position. This partner obviously includes China as well. This position shows Marcos' sincerity in hoping to resolve the South China Sea dispute through peaceful negotiations.
Marcos' call can be seen as a positive signal that the Philippines is trying to de-escalate tensions in the region. This is a positive step towards maintaining regional peace and stability. At the same time, the Philippines** has made clear its willingness to engage in dialogue with China to resolve disputes in the South China Sea. This positive attitude will help to break the impasse and create a better atmosphere for negotiations between the two sides.
Marcos stressed that the Chinese ambassador would not be expelled.
In response to the previous remarks made by the Philippines** that the Chinese ambassador might expel the Chinese ambassador, Marcos made it clear that the remarks made by the Chinese ambassador in the performance of his duties were within a reasonable range, and the Philippine overreaction was meaningless and could even cause major problems.
Marcos' statement shows the importance and respect he attaches to China-Philippines relations. Marcos acknowledged that the expulsion of the Chinese ambassador would have a negative impact on relations between the two countries and would create unnecessary tensions in Sino-Philippine relations. This attitude is worthy of affirmation and is conducive to maintaining the stability and development of China-Philippines relations.
Analysis and thinking.
Marcos' recent softening of attitudes may be related to a number of factors. First, China's resolute response to the Philippines' provocative rhetoric and unequivocal opposition to the Philippines' actions made Marcos realize that continued provocations would only lead to tougher Chinese countermeasures, while also harming the Philippines' own interests.
Second, ASEAN's evasion of the China issue in the joint statement shows that ASEAN as a whole is not willing to take sides. The Philippines continues to pull the United States, Japan and other countries to disrupt the South China Sea, which will only make more ASEAN countries disgusted. Realizing this, the Philippines has also begun to consider adjusting its China policy.
In addition, the United States, on which the Philippines depends, cannot pause for the time being to provide sufficient support to the Philippines. With the United States temporarily unable to provide assistance, the Philippines does not dare to cause trouble for the United States anymore and does not dare to continue to provoke the South China Sea issue, so as not to provoke countermeasures from China and other countries in the region.
Finally, there are many voices in the Philippines calling for dialogue with China and not using differences to define China-Philippines relations. These voices come from the Philippine political, business and academic circles, calling on the Philippines to proceed from the overall situation, focus on developing bilateral relations and regional peace and stability, and maintain bilateral relations.
In short, Marcos' recent softening of the Philippines' stance shows the Philippines' sincerity in trying to de-escalate the conflict in the South China Sea. This is a positive step in maintaining regional peace and stability. China has reacted to the softening of the Philippines' attitude and expects the Philippines to translate its claims on resolving the dispute into concrete actions. Only when the two sides work in the same direction can China-Philippines relations develop steadily and make greater contributions to regional peace. The resolution of the South China Sea issue still requires the joint efforts of both sides to seek a mutually beneficial and win-win solution through dialogue and cooperation.
