On December 4, a major event occurred in the South China Sea, which almost caused a naval battle between the two countries.
On the same day, a US littoral combat ship USS Giffords intruded into the waters adjacent to Ren'ai Jiao in Nansha without prior communication with China, and there is no doubt that this violated China's sovereignty in territorial waters. In the past, there have been incidents of US warships intruding into the South China Sea, but this time the intrusion of the "Giffords" was very unusual.
First of all, the United States sent the "Giffords" to the vicinity of China's Ren'ai Jiao at this time, obviously to cheer up the Philippine authorities.
Since Duterte and Marcos Jr., the new Philippine president, succeeded to the throne, China-Philippines relations have deteriorated dramatically.
Marcos Jr. is an extremely ** politician, he completely abandoned the pro-China political strategy of his predecessor ** Duterte, and firmly tied the "time bomb" of the US military to the Philippines.
Some time ago, the Philippines frantically launched a provocation in the South China Sea, and at one point it was going to send reinforced concrete to the "Sierra Madre," which was illegally beached on Ren'ai Jiao, in an attempt to permanently reinforce the broken ship and use it as an excuse to continue to encroach on China's Ren'ai Jiao.
In the past, the Chinese side has always been friendly to the Philippines and turned a blind eye to the illegal beached ship of the Philippines, but since we found out that they want to permanently strengthen the broken ship, our attitude towards the Philippines has changed dramatically.
The Chinese side did not give the Philippines any opportunity to send reinforced concrete to the ship, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Philippines, so it moved out its American "father".
In fact, China has already given the Philippines a lot of face by doing so, and with the strength of the Chinese navy, blowing up the Sierra Madre is just a matter of artillery shells, but we do not want to engage in a fierce conflict with our neighbors, and the Chinese navy does not use force.
China's amicable attitude has not been exchanged for self-reflection on the Philippines, which thinks that if the United States is moved here and the American "Giffords" swims around the South China Sea, China will be afraid
In the face of the joint efforts of the United States and the Philippines, China's Southern Theater of Operations issued a strong statement, in which three "serious" strong measures were used very rarely.
It has seriously violated China's sovereignty and security, seriously undermined regional peace and stability, and seriously violated international law and basic norms governing international relations.
The statement of the Southern Theater of Operations released three important messages.
The first point:U.S. Navy warships have repeatedly trespassed into the waters adjacent to Ren'ai Jiao, and China has given enough patience in the face of the United States and the Philippines colluding with each other, but we also have a bottom line, and once we break China's red line, we will take action.
The second point:The United States is the biggest threat to peace and stability in the South China Sea, and if a war breaks out in the South China Sea in the future, the responsible party will not be China, but the United States
The third point:China's exercise of sovereignty over the islands near the South China Sea is protected by international law, and it is an objective fact that other countries have violated China's sovereignty in the South China Sea.
Now that tensions are high in the South China Sea, the Philippines, as a small country, could have avoided getting involved in the gladiatorial arena of confrontation between China and the United States, as other Southeast Asian countries have done in Thailand and Myanmar.
However, Marcos Jr., as a puppet supported by the **forces**, completely disregards 1With a net worth of 1.6 billion Filipinos, they forcibly want to be the pawns of the United States in the South China Sea, constantly provoking China and maliciously creating friction.
We love peace, but we do not rule out that in the next provocation between the United States and the Philippines, China will not use force to resolve the issue
In the event of a naval war, no matter who wins or loses, China and the United States may suffer heavy losses, but for the Philippines, once the battlefield starts, it will be a clarion call for the destruction of the country!
By that time, Marcos Jr. will be the sinner of all Filipinos!
