Recently, many netizens have been outraged by the Philippine chief of staff who boarded the wrecked ship that was beaching Ren'ai Jiao. However, I don't think you need to be angry, because he is actually helping China press the "action button", which is equivalent to announcing the end of the broken ship "Sierra Madre" on Ren'ai Jiao in the Philippines in advance. I will discuss this analysis in three ways. First of all, let's look at the very strange answer of the spokesman for the Ministry of Defense. On December 15, the Ministry of National Defense held a press conference, at which a reporter asked about the situation of the Philippines sending ships to rush into the waters of Ren'ai Jiao in China's Nansha Islands, and the chief of general staff of the Philippine armed forces and others landed on Ren'ai Jiao to illegally "beach" ** and hyped up the situation at the same time, the United States called on China to stop the relevant obstruction actionsWhat is the answer of Zhang Xiaogang, spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense?Be sure to listen carefully.
He said: On December 10, the Philippine side insisted on sending ships to intrude into the waters adjacent to Ren'ai Jiao in China's Nansha Islands without authorization, despite China's repeated dissuasions and warnings, in an attempt to illegally "beach" and transport construction materials to Ren'ai Jiao. During the period, the Philippine ship deliberately "touched porcelain" and collided with the Chinese coast guard ship in a dangerous way, resulting in scraping, and some Philippine military personnel also mixed with illegal "beaching"** and hyped that the Chinese coast guard took necessary measures to regulate it in accordance with the law, and the on-site disposal was professional, restrained, reasonable and legal. Zhang Xiaogang's answer did not mention the chief of the Philippine General Staff at all, is this a deliberate evasion?Apparently not. Why, then, is the existence of the Philippine Governor ignored?There must be something else hidden in this.
From his answers, we can infer that despite China's tough interception actions that led to a collision between the two vessels, the Chinese coast guard vessels certainly had the ability to prevent Philippine vessels from approaching the beached and broken ships and preventing people from boarding the ships. So why did the Philippine chief get on board in the end?There must be a deep consideration behind this. In a dramatic event where we seem to be just outsiders, but witnesses and, apparently, video footage is also going on, for what purpose?Perhaps this is a strategic lure by China. On the other hand, let's look at the problem from a different perspective. I might want to stress one more point, the importance of repositioning the relationship between China and Vietnam at the top level. China has decided to provide free assistance to Vietnam in building railways and other projects, and China-Vietnam cooperation is entering a new stage. In light of the situation in the South China Sea, I put forward the viewpoint of "fighting the Philippines and stabilizing Vietnam". What does this mean exactly?
It can be understood that on the eastern side of the South China Sea, an action was taken against the aggressive Philippines to drive away the wrecked ship occupying Second Thomas Shoal;On the western side of the South China Sea, it is to stabilize the situation in Vietnam and further develop the relationship between "comrades and brothers". Perhaps this is one of our basic strategies for dealing with the South China Sea issue at present. In addition, we must face up to this issue in the context of the recent rampant performance of the Philippines and the support of countries such as the United States. In particular, the United States has announced that it will activate the "US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty," and we are well aware that it is imperative to resolve the Philippine issue. As I have said, I firmly believe that the relevant parties will also realize that the United States is currently mired in the Russia-Ukraine war and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and is mired in a debt crisis, which is a serious crisis that is difficult to solve.
In the face of the reality that China has a decisive advantage in the South China Sea, if we take action, the United States will fall into the most serious state of "dishonesty", which means that the United States will lose its influence and coercion, and become a loner and lose its hegemony. Taking a step back, if the United States really dares to "defend the Philippines," it will inevitably end up destroying itself. And the actual role of the Philippine chief boarding the ship is actually to help China press the "action" button. I firmly believe that great drama is yet to come, and we will wait and see.
