The Philippines' recent move is really surprising, as it announced that it will send more than 40 civilian ships to the shipwreck of Ren'ai Jiao around Christmas this year, intending to give China a big gift. This kind of provocation begs the question, what exactly is the Philippines doing?If the Philippines were to be so bold, such an action would be the biggest provocation in recent years. Not only that, but they also have to send a large number of ** to escort this "Christmas fleet", such an action is really too risky. It is worth noting that earlier, a Philippine lawmaker proposed a new way of sending supplies to Second Thomas Shoal with more and faster ships. It seems that the Philippines intends to implement this plan in earnest. The recent behavior of the Philippines has made people feel more and more arrogant, and various provocations have emerged one after another.
The Philippine defense secretary is even more arrogant: China is hindering the survival of future generations of the Philippines. The Philippines has stepped up its offensive policy in support of the U.S. line against China. In fact, it was only after Marcos Jr. came to power that relations between the Philippines and China gradually deteriorated. During the Duterte era, the sinking of the Ren'ai Shoal was not a stumbling block to China-Philippines relations at all. Now that Marcos Jr. has come to power, the survival of future generations of the Philippines has become a problemDoes this mean that the influence of the United States will be highlighted after this?The reason why the Philippines is so arrogant is all due to the support of the United States and the West behind it. The so-called "joint patrol" operation between the Philippines and the United States and Australia has just ended, and perhaps the United States and Australia are still on the way. This so-called "joint cruise" was preceded by joint Xi exercises with the United States.
In the more than a year since Marcos Jr. took office, he has conducted far more military exercises with the United States and the West than Duterte has conducted in the six years he has been in power. What are the motives and intentions behind these actions?Undoubtedly, these moves by the Philippines do deserve attention. Their actions may bring more uncertainty and challenges to China-Philippines relations. How to view and respond to this move by the Philippines is undoubtedly an issue that needs to be deeply considered and resolved at present. Chinese Fishermen's "Maritime Operations": Deciphering the Mystery Behind the Philippine "Christmas Fleet" Recently, the Philippines sent more than 40 fishing boats to the sinking ship of Ren'ai Jiao to deliver building materials, which was considered a "crowd tactic" with China. This move has sparked widespread attention and speculation from the outside world.
In the eyes of the United States and the West, they regard this as a "military exercise", but in fact, is there a deeper calculation hidden in it?First of all, does the Philippines really think that the "crowd tactics" can deter China?Perhaps they did not realize that Chinese fishermen have made great achievements at sea - not only against the Philippines, but even the United States and other countries have suffered great losses at sea. In addition, China has a "mysterious organization" that specializes in dealing with the Philippines' crowd tactics, and that is Chinese fishermen. They are well versed in the way of the sea and have been swimming in the sea for many years, and they may have their own "countermeasures" to this behavior of the Philippines. As a result, the Philippines' so-called "Christmas fleet" may face an unexpected challenge.
Once Chinese fishing vessels go to sea, Philippine civilian and escort ships are likely to come under intense pressure. Those who are not familiar with the "pomp" of Chinese fishermen at sea may need to understand the "combat" strength of Chinese fishermen first.
