The United States keeps giving the Philippines ** a "decoction", what did it say?The former spokesperson of the Philippines issued an angry rebuke, saying that he was ashamed!China and the Philippines cooperated to repatriate 180 Chinese nationals, and the attitude of the Philippines has changed
In 2023, the Philippines has continued to provoke China on the South China Sea issue and ignored China's solemn statements. According to Xinhua News Agency, in the second half of 2023, the Philippines repeatedly provoked incidents in the South China Sea. Since August, the Philippines has intruded into the waters near China's Scarborough Shoal or Second Thomas Shoal once or even twice a month. Moreover, in the last abusive provocation, Second Thomas Shoal was the main target of the Philippine side. There is a view that the reason why Ren'ai Jiao will become the main target of provocation for the Philippines is that it fears that it will disintegrate from the "beaching" that was deliberately "stranded" in 1999 and thus lose its grip on seizing Ren'ai Jiao.
The most recent provocation was on December 10, when the Philippines sent four ships to trespass into the Ren'ai Jiao area of the South China Sea in an attempt to "beach" it to deliver supplies. In response, the Chinese side said that the responsibility lies entirely with the Philippine side.
It is not difficult to see from the Philippines' frenzied intrusion into China's territorial waters that China has been very restrained in this regard. So, what is the reason why the Philippines is so profitable?The answer is the United States.
In order to restrict China's development, the United States has continuously carried out the so-called island chain blockade, and the Philippines is naturally also in the strategic layout of the United States. For the United States, there is no reason to meddle in the affairs of the South China Sea, so it must ** the Philippines. The United States ostensibly supports the Philippines, but its real purpose is to accomplish its own strategic goals.
Just after the dispute between China and the Philippines in the waters near Scarborough Shoal and Ren'ai Jiao, on December 10, a spokesman for the United States said that the United States will stand firmly with the Philippines, and also said that the "US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty" applies to attacks on Philippine public vessels, aircraft and armed forces in any area of the South China Sea. This is not the first time that the United States has sided with the Philippines on the South China Sea issue, nor is it the first time that the United States has come up with this so-called defense treaty to put pressure on China.
In this regard, China has repeatedly warned the United States not to meddle in the situation in the South China Sea, which is an internal affair of countries in the South China Sea. But it is clear that China's warning will not have much effect on the United States, which is bent on hegemonism and regards China as its biggest adversary. The behavior of the United States in the South China Sea has gradually become crazy, and Marcos Jr.**, led by him, is also mired in irrationality.
Marcos Jr. said that a strong China is posing a challenge to its neighbors, and the South China Sea issue has become a complex geopolitical challenge.
From such a statement, it is not difficult to see how seriously Marcos Jr. was "****" by the United States. The problems between China and the Philippines are only bilateral differences. However, the United States continues to agitate in an attempt to turn this issue into a geopolitical conflict.
Rigoberto Tigrau, the former spokesman of the Philippines, couldn't bear what the Philippines had done, and published an article in the Manila Times of the Philippines on December 15. In the article, Tigrau said he expressed his shock at the outright irrationality of the country's policy toward China, saying that Vietnam's current relationship with China, which is also a party to the South China Sea dispute, is enough to show that the Philippines is seriously wrong.
In the article, Tigrao expressed shame for the country. He said the Philippines has mature academics and intellectuals, but has allowed the United States to portray China as an enemy. The current Philippines is mired in irrationality and ignorance, even to the point of madness, and this also shows the strength of American propaganda and **.
The former spokesman's article is full of facts, and every point listed is supported by sufficient facts, and this also shows what kind of state the Philippines is in now under the coercion of the United States.
But again, there is no shortage of knowledgeable people in the Philippines. The richest man in the Philippines also expressed his dissatisfaction with the behavior of the Philippines, and his daughter Styth said that China and the Philippines are very close and cannot be too hostile, and that the problem should be resolved through more peaceful negotiations. It is not difficult to see from his remarks that the Philippine business community is now also uneasy because of the behavior of **.
Perhaps it is China's consistent friendly attitude that has made the Philippines come to its senses, or perhaps it is China's countermeasures that have given the Philippines a blow to the face, and the Philippines has made friendly actions to ease the situation between the two sides. On December 14, the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines released a message saying that China and the Philippines had cooperated to repatriate 180 Chinese citizens engaged in offshore gambling. Previously, on October 27, the Philippine side raided an offshore gaming company in Pasay City and detained a large number of people. In the past month, the relevant departments of the Philippines have taken the initiative to request cooperation from the Chinese side, does it mean that the Philippines is trying to change China-Philippines relations?
Marcos Jr. should understand that following the United States will only harm the national interests of the Philippines. More than half of the Philippines** is with China, and maintaining good relations with China is crucial.
