Although China and the Philippines are located in the same Pacific Ocean and are not far away, and the two countries have economic and trade interests, the Philippines will not promote regional peace at all, but has repeatedly provoked friction.
According to a report by the global network, a spokesman for the Philippines said a few days ago that in a kidnapping case that occurred in Manila at the end of last month, six Chinese were kidnapped, and the bodies of four of them Chinese have been found. Previously, the Chinese were kidnapped, and the Philippines claimed that it would investigate, but a month passed, and the Philippines ** did not arrest the gangsters, but missed the opportunity, resulting in the killing of the Chinese. If the Philippines really cares about the relations between the two countries, it should be rescued in time, and its attitude of sitting idly by shows that the Philippines does not cherish the good friendship between the two countries.
In addition to watching gangsters kidnap Chinese, the Philippines is also preparing to build a base station in the South China Sea and launch another provocation. According to satellite network reports, the Philippines **Arnold recently announced that it will set up a base station on the South China Sea (Thitu Island) in order to monitor Chinese ships.
At present, the Philippine Coast Guard station is a monitoring system composed of radar, satellite communications and other advanced equipment, and this base station has been completed and is expected to be put into operation next year. The Philippines says the establishment of base stations can have an impact on the rules of the game, especially for China.
Thitu Island is located in the middle of the Nansha Islands in the South China Sea, although the area is less than 1 square kilometer, it is the second natural island of the Nansha Islands, and China has sovereignty over it. Since 1971, the Philippines has occupied Thitu Island for a long time and has stationed troops there, and Thitu Island has become an important transit point for the Philippines in the South China Sea. The Chinese ** ship has patrolled the perimeter of Thitu Island many times to demonstrate China's maintenance of the sovereign island.
The Philippines' repeated provocations lie in the fact that it is backed by the United States, and if it is not deterred and beaten, the Philippines will be even more arrogant and will not take China into account. On November 29, China's high-level officials inspected the East China Sea Armed Police Force and said they would resolutely defend China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. China will not compromise on safeguarding China's maritime rights and interests and sovereign territorial interests.
With China's current strength, of course, it can contain the troublemaking of the Philippines and safeguard China's interests in the South China Sea. Last month, when the Philippines and Australia conducted a joint military exercise, China dispatched two warplanes to "circle" one Philippine plane, demonstrating China's strategic posture. Not long ago, the Philippines dragged the United States and Australia on a so-called joint patrol in the South China Sea, aiming to send a signal to China and want to show their presence.
As a matter of fact, China has always been in control of the situation in the South China Sea and will not give any chance to foreign forces. In order to seek refuge in the United States and obtain strategic assistance from the United States, the Philippines has frequently stirred up trouble in the South China Sea, constantly touched China's bottom line, and infringed on China's sovereign interests. The South China Sea is China's South China Sea, not any country's backyard, and China has the ability to ensure stability in the South China Sea and prevent external forces from causing trouble!
