The Philippines is making a big move!Building a mansion on Ren'ai Reef?What is our reaction?
Hey, look at this, the Philippines is doing something in the South China Sea again!This time, they didn't go on vacation, but they actually threw a lot of money on Ren'ai Jiao, ready to build something big. I would say that it's definitely not as simple as drinking, singing, and basking in the sun. We have to start from the beginning.
First of all, what the hell is Ren'ai Reef?Listening to the name is like a gentle place, but when I checked it, ouch, this is a hard bone. In this disputed part of the South China Sea, it is like a sweet cake that everyone is hungry for. Then, the Philippines suddenly decided to allocate a large amount of money to it in the new national budget. Some people speculate that they are going to build a villa or something there, and live there for a lifetimeI'll say, it's no small feat.
Looking at history, when Ren'ai Jiao was beached, the Philippines was not calm. I've been thinking about building some infrastructure there for a long time. Now that I have the budget, it doesn't look like a surprise. But you have to think about it, what does it mean to engage in construction in this sea area?Permanent buildings aren't as simple as drinking juice in the sun. Isn't the runway and facilities on Mischief Reef an example?This makes me feel that the Philippines wants to expand its control in this area
Digging a little deeper, some analysts say that it may be related to Reed Beach. If the Philippines can control the area through Second Thomas Shoal, the exploitation of oil and gas resources is just around the corner. Of course, we cannot ignore the geopolitical implications. The South China Sea issue has always been a complex and delicate matter, and the interests of all countries are entangled. The Philippines' move could trigger a ripple effect. I know these jargon sounds lofty, but in a nutshell: military strategy, geopolitics, the scramble for resources – it's all here!
Now, let's play a game of the future. If the Philippines does make a home on Second Thomas Shoal, other countries will certainly not sit idly by. The countermeasures must have been laid out. Today's news analysis tells us that the Philippines is really interested in Ren'ai Jiao, and they are making frequent moves, which shows that they are very ambitious. As Chinese, this cannot be taken as a deaf ear. This kind of thing, we have to watch, we have to pay attention.
In general, the Philippines is not a simple move, and we should not take it lightly. They showed a clear interest in Second Thomas Reef, and their actions speak to their ambitions. And what about us, as outsiders?We'll just have to wait and see what happens next. Don't forget, in this day and age, information is the best ** and toy!【Disclaimer】What is said in this article is my personal opinion, please understand if there is any offense.
