Since the beginning of this year, the Philippines has launched successive provocations against China in the South China Sea, causing tension in the South China Sea and sliding relations between the two countries to a low ebb. For this reason, after maintaining restraint and forbearance, the Chinese side rarely made two consecutive moves to hit the Philippines.
1.China issued a clear warning to the Philippines, and the Chinese foreign minister said that if the Philippines insists on provocations in the South China Sea, China will resolutely respond. This is China's warning to the Philippines and reflects China's resolute attitude of safeguarding national territorial sovereignty. China will not be threatened by provocateurs, and any action involving China's territorial interests will be met with a strong response.
In addition, the People's ** published an article pointing out that the Philippines is backed by the United States to provoke and make trouble, and China will not sit idly by. The provocation of the Philippines is backed by the United States, which is unacceptable to China. China's determination to maintain stability in the South China Sea is unquestionable and it will take all necessary measures to counter interference by external forces.
Addendum: The warning issued by the Chinese side is a clear response to the actions of the Philippines and indicates that it will not tolerate any provocative acts. Such a resolute attitude is essential for maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea. At the same time, through the People's ** article, China also highlighted the forces behind the Philippines, implying that it deviated from the accepted rules and principles of the international community. The move was not only a pressure on the Philippines, but also a clear signal to the United States that China would not allow them to cause chaos in the South China Sea.
2.China conducted a three-dimensional combat exercise. According to a Russian think tank, a few days ago, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) organized an actual combat exercise over the South China Sea, dispatching a variety of aircraft including J-11 and J-16. The scale and scope of this actual combat exercise are very large, and they involve not only air operations but also a combination of sea and land operations. The exercise, centered on the Nansha Islands, demonstrated the strength and determination of the squadron in the South China Sea.
Addendum: The holding of the actual combat exercise shows that China is not only willing to put pressure on the Philippines in words, but also prepared in practical actions. Through the exercise, the technical capabilities and combat strength of the squadron were demonstrated, and China's strategic influence in the South China Sea region was demonstrated. This is a clear signal to the Philippines and a warning to other countries and forces.
According to a report by the global network, Marcos of the Philippines said that we have been maintaining a presence in (China's Ren'ai Jiao), although the United States has been helping the Philippines patrol, the Filipinos hope to solve the problem of "Sierra Madre" on Ren'ai Jiao.
Marcos's statement in the Philippines can be seen in several aspects. First, he has recognized China's stance of resolutely safeguarding its sovereign territorial interests in the South China Sea, so the Philippines hopes that it can resolve the South China Sea dispute and does not want to involve the United States. This indicates that the Philippines is beginning to shift its attitude towards China and hopes to resolve its differences in the South China Sea through dialogue.
Second, the Philippines has been sending supplies in an attempt to maintain a sense of presence at Second Thomas Shoal, and will not compromise easily. The Philippines exists in part to protect its rights and interests in Second Thomas Shoal. While Marcos has expressed a desire for dialogue with China, he is also sending a signal to China that the Philippines will maintain some persistence in the South China Sea.
Addendum: Marcos' statement implied that he has recognized China's tough stance and hopes to resolve disputes in the South China Sea through dialogue and avoid conflict with China. By maintaining a presence at Second Thomas Shoal and engaging in dialogue with China, the Philippines has expressed its desire to maintain a sense of independence and resolve the South China Sea issue.
However, Philippine military spokesman Aguilar said the push for multilateral patrols is part of the country's assertion of sovereignty over the exclusive economic zone, and that "more patrols are expected next year." "This means that the Philippine military, instigated by the United States, will continue to provoke in the South China Sea, and they still have no intention of reining in.
Addendum: The Philippine military's attitude suggests that the Philippines' handling of the South China Sea issue is still divided. The Philippine military wants to continue to maintain sovereignty over the EEZ through patrols, which may be at odds with Marcos' stance of trying to resolve issues through dialogue. Contradictions within the Philippines over the South China Sea issue still exist, which also brings certain difficulties to resolving the South China Sea disputes.
In general, China has demonstrated its resolute stance and strong strength on the South China Sea issue by continuously attacking the Philippines, which is a strong response to the Philippines' provocative behavior. Through clear warnings and practical exercises, China has sent a clear signal to the Philippines that it will not tolerate any violation of its territorial sovereignty.
Marcos**'s statement shows a shift in the Philippines' attitude toward China and its desire to resolve its differences in the South China Sea through dialogue. However, there are still different voices within the Philippines, which brings certain difficulties to the resolution of the problem. In the face of provocations by the Philippines, China should maintain its strategic focus and resolutely safeguard its territorial sovereignty.
In the process of resolving the South China Sea issue, the two sides should strengthen communication and dialogue, abide by international law and the rules and principles recognized by the international community, and resolve disputes through peaceful means. Dialogue is the best way to solve the problem, and on this basis, it is only in the best interests of all parties to work together to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea.
Addendum: I personally believe that the resolution of the South China Sea issue requires all parties to uphold the principles of peace, justice and reasonableness and find a common solution through dialogue and consultation. As one of the important countries in the South China Sea, China must handle and resolve the South China Sea issue with sincerity and wisdom. As a party to the South China Sea dispute, the Philippines should look at the issue rationally, respect international law, engage in substantive dialogue with China, resolve the dispute by peaceful means, and contribute to regional peace and stability.
Final conclusion: China has demonstrated its resolute position and strong strength by beating the Philippines through two moves, and at the same time, Marcos's statement shows the Philippines' desire to resolve the South China Sea issue through dialogue. However, there are still different voices in the Philippines, and the resolution of the South China Sea dispute requires the two sides to strengthen communication and dialogue, abide by international law and generally recognized rules, and find a consensus solution through peaceful means.
