At present, although there is no conflict in the South China Sea, the situation is not calm. Recently, the United States and the Philippines have been active in the South China Sea, leading to a sharp escalation of tensions. Although these incidents are not described much in China's briefing, the seriousness of the situation cannot be ignored. The US operation in the South China Sea can be divided into two phases. First, the dispatch of ** to patrol near Second Thomas Shoal, apparently in support of the Philippines. After all, the resurgence of cooperation between the Philippines and the United States in recent years is a rare good thing for the United States. Therefore, supporting the Philippines can help boost its confidence in the South China Sea. Second, sending American warplanes through the Taiwan Strait is not only a demonstration of strength to its allies, but also a signal to them that they have made the right choice. It should be pointed out that these actions of the United States in the South China Sea are obviously an act of "not keeping their word", but the Chinese People's Liberation Army has long been prepared to monitor and expel them throughout the process.
The result is obvious, the United States did not achieve its expected goals in the South China Sea. At the same time, the Philippines' provocative actions in the South China Sea have also been thwarted. Although the Philippines twice sent ships to Scarborough Shoal and the vicinity of Second Thomas Shoal to cause trouble, they were intercepted by the Chinese Coast Guard through regulatory means. It can be said that the Philippines' attempt to confront China in the South China Sea will inevitably result in self-defeating. Although the confrontation between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea has been going on for some time, the Philippines does not seem to have grasped the deeper meaning of this and what China's goodwill represents. The Philippines certainly will not admit such perfunctory behavior. As a result, the Philippines has sought to "find a new path" and assert its sovereignty in two ways. First of all, the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines Brauner and other high-ranking military officials boarded the beached and broken ship on Second Thomas Shoal and held a so-called "party".
But in fact, Brauner and the others only carried some food, Christmas presents, and Christmas Eve packages. As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar. After all, before Brauner and others boarded the deck of the broken ship at Ren'ai Jiao, the Philippine supply ship "Yunaza May" No. 1 took the initiative to ram China's ship on a mission, and was subject to the control measures of the Chinese coast guard. Some people may wonder how the top military officials got on board since the Chinese coast guard has been guarding Ren'ai JiaoTo put it bluntly, the method is relatively simple, which is to take advantage of China's goodwill and exploit loopholes. Although building materials cannot be delivered, food and drinking water can be delivered for humanitarian reasons. The Philippine military's top brass disguised themselves as ordinary crew members and boarded the grain ship in civilian clothes before they were released.
Then, the Philippine military high-ranking speech on the broken ship was just to encourage the soldiers present to serve the country, and at the same time to express ** to China. Second, Marcos has bluntly stated that the actions of the Chinese coast guard will not intimidate the Philippines. He then condemned China's legitimate actions in the South China Sea and reaffirmed the Philippines' "sovereignty" over the South China Sea. I think Marcos is using someone else's power to show himself. In the wake of the confrontation between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea, the United States has made a high-profile statement that the US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty applies to the South China Sea. It is precisely with the support of the United States that the Philippines is even more arrogant. There have been changes in the South China Sea, and China, the United States and the Philippines have launched actions one after another. I think it is necessary for China to let go of its moral cleanliness. Despite its strength, China seems to be self-restrained and morally clean when confronted with small countries.
At present, in the face of the constant provocations of the United States and the Philippines, excessive moral cleanliness will only bind oneself. As the saying goes, "Fight with one punch, lest a hundred punches come"!While maintaining its strategic focus in the South China Sea, it is necessary for China to abandon its moral cleanliness and break the principle of "no first shot" .......
