The South China Sea issue refers to disputes over territorial and maritime rights and interests mainly involving China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries. These disputes mainly focus on the islands, reefs, sea areas, and the delimitation and utilization of resources in the South China Sea. Due to its important geographical location and abundant resources, the South China Sea issue has long attracted the attention of the international community.
Recently, China's spokesman Wang Wenbin took stock of the six major crimes committed by the Philippines in the South China Sea in the form of "courting the Philippines", and clarified China's position and propositions. In this "Confetti Statement," the Philippines committed six major crimes in the South China Sea: First, the Philippines attempted to interfere with China's exercise of sovereignty in the South China Sea and challenged China's rights granted by historySecond, the Philippines with the help ofSouth China Sea ArbitrationCreate international hotspot issues and hit China's legitimate interests;Third, the Philippines maliciously interferes with China's presence thereSpratly Islandsnormal cruising patrols and scientific expeditions;Fourth, the Philippines illegally occupies ChinaSecond Thomas Reefand frequently sent ships to illegally intrude into China's territorial waters;Fifth, the Philippines has ignored China's off-season fishing moratorium, fished illegally and pointed fingers at China's fishing moratoriumSixth, the Philippines to ChinaNanshaThe islands and reefs have undermined peace and stability in the South China Sea.
China's insistence on exercising its rights on the South China Sea issue has full legitimacy and historical basis. From a historical point of view, China has sovereignty rights and interests in the South China Sea for thousands of years, which is an indisputable fact endowed by history. From a legal point of view, China has a legitimate basis to exercise its sovereignty according to its own wishes. After the Philippines freed itself from colonial rule, it also reached a reconciliation with China on the South China Sea issue, and the two sides jointly found the right path of peaceful coexistence. However, after the incumbent Philippines came to power, its behavior on the South China Sea issue has regressed in the opposite direction, resulting in increasingly intensifying contradictions and differences between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea, and seriously threatening peace and stability in the South China Sea.
The Philippines' crimes in the South China Sea cannot be ignored. First, in the exercise of sovereignty in the South China Sea, the Philippines attempts to interfere with China's legitimate behavior and challenge China's historical rights and interests. Secondly, the Philippines with the help ofSouth China Sea ArbitrationCreate international hotspot issues to suppress China. Thirdly, inSpratly IslandsRegion, the Philippines maliciously interferes with China's patrol and scientific research activities and threatens ChinaFishermensafety of life and property.

China has taken action in the South China Sea to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests. ChinaCoast GuardWe will take necessary measures in accordance with the law to firmly safeguard our sovereignty in the South China Sea. The Chinese side lodged solemn representations on the crimes committed by the Philippines and submitted a note to issue a warning. Wang Wenbin's speech is a preview of the outcome of the South China Sea, and it is also a warning to the Philippines, so that the Philippines will realize its mistake and turn back in time. It is hoped that the Philippines will have a clear understanding of the situation, take the initiative to stop its provocative moves against China, and create conditions for a peaceful settlement of the South China Sea issue.
The South China Sea issue is a complex regional dispute involving the territorial and maritime rights and interests of multiple countries. In resolving the South China Sea issue, all parties should seek a peaceful solution through dialogue and negotiation on the basis of the principles of equality, friendship and consensus. China's rights protection actions are aimed at defending its legitimate rights and interests and maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea. I hope that the Philippines will recognize its mistakes and respect themInternational LawwithInternational orderand jointly promote the proper settlement of the South China Sea issue and achieve regional peace and prosperity. Only through mutual respect and dialogue on an equal footing can a truly sustainable solution be found, making the South China Sea a bridge for regional cooperation rather than a focal point for conflict.
