You have to endure the little things, and you have to be ruthless in the big things.
The Philippines has become more and more arrogant recently, so China no longer holds back and takes direct action.
On December 9 and 10, the Chinese Coast Guard changed its mild attitude and forcibly drove away Philippine coast guard vessels, official vessels, and supply vessels that illegally intruded into China's waters around Scarborough Shoal and Ren'ai Jiao.
Asking for a hammer, the Philippines has finally angered China.
First of all, since Marcos Jr. ascended to the throne of the Philippines this year, he has changed Duterte's pro-China policy and distanced himself from the United States, and once again provoked China on the South China Sea issue.
From Scarborough Shoal to Ren'ai Jiao, the Philippines is clamoring every month and making trouble every day.
The United States wants to "Ukrainize" the Philippines, and Marcos Jr. is vying to be the Asia-Pacific version of Zelensky.
Second, the chief of staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the commander of the Western Command disguised themselves as civilians and secretly boarded the tattered ** sitting on the beach on Ren'ai Shoal to perform the so-called "oath of sovereignty". There are even calls for other structures to be built on Second Thomas Reef.
Whether it is tolerable or unbearable, we must strike decisively and add a punishment.
In Wen Zitao's view, cannon fodder has one thing in common, that is, they can never recognize the situation.
Today's Philippines, first, has misestimated its own strength; The second is to mistake China's goodwill for weakness.
Where does the Philippines have the confidence to dare to call out China?
Of course, because of the support from the United States.
The United States supports the Philippines' frenzied provocation of China in the South China Sea for two purposes.
First of all, as the offspring of a century-old-stirring stick, the United States knows better than anyone that the best way to drain the opponent's strength is to plunge the other side into the quagmire of war.
This is the case with the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Our strategy in the South China Sea is "stable," and no major country wants wars to erupt in its neighborhood. But what we don't want is what the United States loves to do.
Now, the United States is playing with the idea of the South China Sea again. He believes that the goal of containing China can be achieved by simply letting the Philippines jump out and provoke a dispute between China and the Philippines over islands and reefs.
In order to give Marcos Jr. confidence, the United States began to lay out.
1. Support the Philippines militarily.
In addition to the aircraft carrier group, the United States added four new military bases in the Philippines in early February. Together with the existing five, the United States will have nine military bases in the Philippines.
Is the increase in US military bases to protect US interests or to defend the Philippines?
2. Support the Philippines from the momentum.
Whenever the Philippines provokes China, the United States immediately moves out of the "US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty" to side with the Philippines and accuse China.
Anyway, shouting and not paying for it.
3. Biden personally went down to support it.
In May, Marcos Jr. was invited to visit the United States. Biden was at the White House to give him an opportune interview and supervise him for being anti-China.
Soon after returning from his visit to the United States, the Philippines began to send a number of coast guard ships to confront Chinese coast guard ships near Ren'ai Jiao, hyping up the Huangyan Dao and Ren'ai Jiao incidents.
4. The United States has also pulled in the European Union.
On July 31, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen made a surprise visit to the Philippines and publicly claimed that the EU supported the so-called "South China Sea arbitration".
This von der Leyen is not only the president of the European Commission, but also an internationally famous "naked official". Her husband and children are Americans.
Of course, the United States does not support such a person to become president of the European Commission in order to serve the European Union, but to borrow von der Leyen's statement to drag the EU into the South China Sea dispute.
5. The United States helped the Philippines form an "eight-nation coalition" in the South China Sea.
Seeing that the Philippines is provoking China, it is difficult to achieve a big thing. In October, under the guise of a joint cruise, the United States brought in Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, and France to form an "eight-nation coalition" in the South China Sea together with the Philippines.
The purpose is to cooperate with the United States, support the Philippines in encountering China, and make the situation bigger.
Have you found that so far, the team of the United States to support Ukraine and provoke Russia is basically complete.
Therefore, in Wen Zitao's view, the model of the United States "Ukrainizing" the Philippines and letting the Philippines fight to the last man is being replicated in the South China Sea.
Secondly, the international diversion of Israel's atrocities against the people of Gaza.
The current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has proved that the United States has failed a huge failure in its Middle East policy, and the United States' hardline side with Israel is even more hostile to the entire Arab world.
What the United States does not want to see is China's growing influence on the situation in the Middle East. Not only have Iran and Saudi Arabia, the two bitter enemies, actually established diplomatic relations under the mediation of China, but China has very close relations with all Arab countries.
In order to support Israel and contain China, the Philippines should be singled out to stir up trouble in the South China Sea, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone in the eyes of the United States.
What about China?
A headache and a foot can never solve the fundamental problem.
The biggest problem between China and the Philippines is Scarborough Shoal and Ren'ai Jiao?
In Wen Zitao's view, it has never been. On the issue of Scarborough Shoal, no matter how much the United States and the Philippines talk about the so-called "South China Sea arbitration case", it cannot change the fact that China already has actual control over Scarborough Shoal.
Why is the Philippines crazy about encountering China on Ren'ai Jiao?
It's not because there is a Philippine tattered ship on Ren'ai Jiao"** The Philippines thinks that relying on this kind of "beaching" means having sovereignty. In fact, whether from the legal point of view or from the fist, it still cannot change the fact that Ren'ai Jiao belongs to China.
Let's look at the map below, how close is Second Thomas Reef and Mischief Island.
Since 2013, the United States has supported the Philippines in instigating the so-called South China Sea arbitration in an attempt to internationalize China's sovereignty in the South China Sea. In response, our country began to launch the great "planting island" project in the South China Sea.
Through the "magic" of nature, the Nansha islands and reefs have been transformed into huge islands.
In just one year's effort, China has turned Fiery Cross Reef, Subi Reef, Mischief Reef, Gaven Reef, Chigua Reef, Huayang Reef, and Dongmen Reef into unsinkable aircraft carriers in the South China Sea.
The island was planted, the airport was built, all kinds of defense ** entered, and even the AWACS aircraft came in.
At present, we are well aware of every move of US warships and military planes in the South China Sea.
The history is long, and the vicissitudes of life.
So, those who think that China will be weak on the Ren'ai Jiao issue should wake up.
If you are poor, you will put aside the controversy, and if you are poor, you will have it since ancient times. How could China let the Philippines succeed on the side of its own "unsinkable aircraft carrier"?
As for the final treatment of Scarborough Shoal and Ren'ai Jiao, Wen Zitao believes that it is time to "plant the island".
If the Philippines does not go crazy and provoke, we are embarrassed to break the status quo directly. Now, now that the Philippines is crazy about death, China is taking the opportunity to turn Scarborough Shoal and Ren'ai Jiao into unsinkable aircraft carriers.
I believe that the country has made all preparations, and if nothing else, it is estimated that it will not be long before good news will come.
Since the Philippines cannot change the fact that Scarborough Shoal and Ren'ai Jiao belong to China, then in order to make the Philippines pay the price and to establish its authority in the South China Sea, "planting islands" will not be the end of the struggle, and Wen Zitao believes that our ultimate goal is to recover Thitu Island, which was occupied by the Philippines.
Thitu Island is the second largest island in China's Nansha Islands and has always been China's inherent territory.
On April 18, 1971, due to a strong typhoon hitting Thitu Island, Taiwanese troops on Thitu Island withdrew to Taiping Island to avoid the typhoon. However, the Philippines took advantage of the situation and took the opportunity to send troops to forcibly occupy Thitu Island.
The incompetent Taiwan authorities have acquiesced in this matter without any counterattack. This gives the Philippines the illusion that whoever grabs the islands and reefs in the South China Sea will be the one who owns it.
Why does the Philippines keep "reliing" on Ren'ai Jiao? Don't you think you can become your own after staying for a long time?
Thitu Island is so large that the Philippines has even built an airstrip on it.
Now the Philippines is encroaching on Thitu Island, not only because of its unique strategic location, but also because of the abundant oil and gas resources nearby.
Great men have always believed that the way to defeat the enemy lies in "you fight yours, I fight mine".
This public provocation by the Philippines in the South China Sea has undoubtedly given China an opportunity to recover Thitu Island. After all, the face has been torn, and it is better to solve all the problems at once.
Diplomacy is all about timing, and now is the time.
Funnily enough, the United States still wants to rely on the illegal so-called arbitration case to sentence China's Scarborough Shoal to the Philippines.
What's even funnier is that Marcos, the Philippines, is still very "into the play".
The United States thinks that relying on hegemony can force China to "cede land and seek peace", and it really thinks that the current China is the late Qing Dynasty!
Have you forgotten how the Chinese Navy forced U.S. aircraft carriers to flee in the South China Sea in 2016?
Seven years ago, in response to the so-called South China Sea arbitration, China deployed more than 100 of the most elite ships of its three fleets in the South China Sea, from fighter planes to nuclear submarines, as well as the "aircraft carrier killer" Dongfeng Express.
All units entered the first level of combat readiness, and the fighters even wrote suicide notes. From the fighters to every fighter plane and every fighter plane, in order to defend the sovereignty of the motherland, they are all ready to die with the enemy.
The US aircraft carriers, which ran to the South China Sea to show off their might, did not dare to directly harden themselves with the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and finally fled in ashes, making the so-called South China Sea arbitration case an international joke.
China has convinced its friends that it could defeat the U.S. military, armed to the teeth, on the Korean battlefield decades ago, and that it can still do so in the South China Sea today.
It turns out:Dignity is only on the edge of the sword!
Truth, only within cannon range!
Peace is never shouted out with empty mouths and white teeth!
Peace has always been defended with iron and blood!
Seven years ago, the United States did not dare to confront China, but seven years later, will the United States dare?
Let's look at the reaction of the countries in the South China Sea.
Twelve days after the US aircraft carrier fell into the desert and escaped from the South China Sea, the leaders of China and ASEAN countries held a meeting in Vientiane, Laos, as planned.
Under the world's leading lens, China stood in the C position, and ASEAN politicians gathered together, holding hands and talking happily. The topic of focus was to work together to maintain peace in the South China Sea.
The so-called South China Sea arbitration? It's like it never happened.
Because everyone understands that the United States can retreat from war once, and there will be a next time.
Looking at Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Ukraine today, how can ASEAN politicians not understand what it means to learn from the past?
Today, seven years later, on September 5-7, the "ASEAN Summit" was held in Indonesia.
With the blessing of U.S. Deputy Harris attending the meeting, Marcos Jr. of the Philippines originally wanted to bring the matter of the Philippine ship being driven away by the Chinese coast guard water cannons, but no one paid attention to it.
As the host, Indonesia's ** Jokowi made it clear at the opening ceremony:"Southeast Asia will not be allowed to become the best of any great power".
It's almost a direct roll call.
Because everyone understands that the Philippines, as cannon fodder for the United States, will sooner or later be an outcast. At present, instead of using the United States as a pawn, how can it be better to carry out economic and trade cooperation and infrastructure development with China?
Even if Harris attended the meeting, apart from scratching her head and posing at the venue, looking left and right, how can her speech have any sense of existence?
The overall situation around the South China Sea has been decided, and the countries that have invaded and occupied our islands and reefs need to be divided and broken one by one.
China's just-concluded trip to Vietnam is of profound significance. Vietnam has invaded and occupied the largest number of islands and reefs in our country, but under the dual political and economic pressure, Vietnam is willing to reconcile with us. In order to be able to concentrate on fighting a war of annihilation, we need to pull one and fight another.
The United States is making arrangements, and China is also working together.
If the United States wants the Philippines to become another Ukraine, China will make the Philippines the "Waterloo" of American hegemony.
China doesn't like to target anyone with tough tactics, but that doesn't mean China doesn't have the ability to be tough. If the tiger is not powerful, is it really a sick cat?
With regard to the South China Sea issue, after the so-called South China Sea arbitration case came out, China has clearly put forward to the world the concept that the South China Sea is China's "internal waters".
No one understands the meaning of "internal water" better than the United States. Because American strategists believe that having a piece of "internal water" is the standard configuration of a great power.
100 Helping Programs
Just as the United States sees the Caribbean Sea as its own backyard, why can't China treat the South China Sea as its own internal waters?
Don't forget, who is the passer-by, and who is the real master of the South China Sea?
The Philippine grasshopper shakes the tree, and if it wants to provoke China on the sovereignty of the South China Sea, it will end up with nothing.
In 1987, when the Philippines visited China, he said to the Philippines: Geographically, those islands in the South China Sea are closer to the Philippines.
Comrade Xiaoping took a puff of his cigarette and said slowly: Geographically, the Philippines is also very close to China.
The interests of the nation cannot wait, they have always been fought!
