South China Sea amid tensions: India** lands in the Philippines The situation in the South China Sea has intensified again in recent days, with reports that a stealth anti-submarine frigate of the Indian Navy is undergoing joint military training in the Philippines.
The move is intended to send a strong signal to other countries in the South China Sea region that any provocation in the South China Sea will face the strong and united military power of India and the Philippines. At the same time, the situation at Second Thomas Shoal is also becoming increasingly tense.
The news came that 11 Filipino fishing boats had entered the lagoon at Second Thomas Reef. Since December 10, when the Philippines carried out a law enforcement operation against Ren'ai Jiao, the number of Chinese fishing vessels has increased significantly.
The nearest fishing boat is only 2 miles away from the Philippines**, where Second Thomas Shoal sits on the beach9 km. It is reported that the Tiankun dredger can complete 6,000 cubic meters of sand blowing and reclamation work in one hour, and it only takes one hour to create an area the size of a football field.
As for our deployment, the Philippine side said that in the vicinity of Ren'ai Jiao, China has a total of eight coast guard ships, one Aegis ship and one frigate. All of these actions have undoubtedly exacerbated tensions in the South China Sea, which are closely watched by all countries, especially China, which is at the heart of the dispute.
China's attitude will be the key to the further development of the situation in the South China Sea.
The South China Sea dispute has been going on for a long time, with military activities and territorial disputes between countries escalating.
However, we must recognize that in the region, actions by either side could trigger a ripple effect that could jeopardize peace and stability throughout the region. The international community therefore strongly appeals to all parties to exercise restraint and to resolve disputes through dialogue and cooperation.
Long-term stability and prosperity in the South China Sea can only be achieved through peaceful means, which is of great significance to regional countries and the global economy. The development of the situation in the South China Sea remains uncertain, but we hope that all parties can handle the dispute in a rational and restrained manner and contribute to regional peace and prosperity.
