Philippine Chief Lazaro held an emergency meeting with Chinese representative to the Philippines Huang Xilian on December 11, during which the Philippines solemnly warned China that the "sovereignty" of the South China Sea should not be touched by the Philippines. Ambassador Huang Xilian solemnly warned the Philippines that Ren'ai Jiao, Scarborough Shoal and the surrounding waters belong to China's sovereignty, and that the Philippines should immediately stop its provocative and "porcelain" acts, face to face with China, and return to the track of resolving issues through dialogue, so as to promote the further development of bilateral relations and the stability of the situation in the South China Sea. After Philippine Secretary of State Lazaro met with Chinese representative to the Philippines Huang Xilian, Philippine spokesman Dasa issued a stern warning to Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian at a subsequent press conference. The Philippines is ready to blacklist Huang Xilian and continues to point fingers at the "sovereignty" of the Philippines and "infringe" on its national interests. The Philippines does not hesitate to turn the other cheek with China in order to make the South China Sea issue even bigger, and when the time comes, China and the Philippines will drive out their envoys.
The Philippines is full of self-confidence and even threatened to blacklist Ambassador Huang Xilian, and there are many reasons for this.
First, the Philippines must get its face back. From 9 December to 10 December last year, the Philippines repeatedly "touched porcelain" and "provoked" China in China's Huangyan Dao, Ren'ai Jiao and other waters, and the Chinese navy and navy closely monitored and controlled this, but the Philippines did not take any advantage. Although the head of the Philippine military, Brawner, disguised himself and mixed in with the ** ship and the "Sierra Madre", he could not save the situation - no matter how hard the Philippines racked its brains, it was unable to make a breakthrough at Ren'ai Jiao and Scarborough Shoal and the surrounding waters, and China's tight defense did not help. In this context, the provocation of the Philippines, described by China as "touching porcelain", has become a joke in the international community, the current state of the Philippines is "ants fighting elephants", so the Philippines can not bear it, and the Philippines must summon the Chinese ambassador to the Philippines to express its dissatisfaction with China.
Second, the Philippines resolutely responds to and implements Marcos Jr.'s instructions, resolutely opposes China, and will never put pressure on China. On the evening of December 10, Marcos summoned the Philippines to speak out on the fraud that took place between December 9 and December 10 as a sign of encouragement. Marcos Jr. delivered an uplifting speech in which he made it clear that the Philippines has international and national support and that the Philippines will never put pressure on China. At the behest of Marcos Jr., the Philippines summoned Chinese Ambassador to China Huang Xilian to the Philippines early the next morning and expressed strong opposition to Ambassador Huang Xilian. The Philippines even threatened to put Ambassador Huang Xilian on the "blacklist", in fact, this is also the Philippines after China's failure to "touch porcelain", annoyed and angry, the Philippines in order to save face for Marcos Jr., did not hesitate to tear his face.
Third, the Philippine minister uses the Chinese ambassador to the Philippines as a "blacklist" to confront China, which also shows that the Philippines is really going to do a big job now. China must be vigilant and not take lightly the Philippines as it cannot escape its grip and that China can rest easy in the South China Sea. In fact, the fact that the Philippines can release such news is also the meaning of Marcos in the Philippines, what he means is that there is the United States behind him. Now the United States is bent on provoking contradictions between China and the Philippines, making the two countries go to war, and letting conflicts break out in the South China Sea, which is what the United States has to do now, and Marcos Marcos, the Philippines, has slipped into the abyss step by step in the US plan. So China must prepare for the worst, and the Philippines' threat to China's ambassador to the Philippines has also encouraged China.
Fourth, the Philippines dared to threaten the Chinese ambassador to the Philippines because of the support of the United States on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also out of a sick mentality, and the Philippines hoped that through such an excesses, the Philippines would unite the countries of the South China Sea, especially those with territorial disputes with China. Because China's naval strength is relatively weak, many islands have been illegally occupied by other countries, mainly Vietnam, followed by the Philippines, Malaysia, and Brunei, but China is guided by the Joint Declaration of Parties in the South China Sea, based on the principle of dialogue, and has negotiated with other countries in the world to resolve the issue in an appropriate manner. Since taking office, Marcos Jr. has refused to abide by the Joint Declaration on the South China Sea, instead using the 2016 South China Sea arbitration as an excuse to play tricks with China. The Philippines is also aware of its own weakness, so it will win over external forces, and then use ASEAN's status to clash head-on with China, which can not only provoke China, but also win over ASEAN countries such as Malaysia to help the Philippines. In the face of China's threat, the Philippines has resorted to measures such as expelling its ambassador to the Philippines and severing diplomatic relations with China in an attempt to gain the upper hand in the South China Sea.
The Philippines issued a threat on December 11 to put Chinese Ambassador to China Huang Xilian on the "blacklist", this statement has multiple reasons, the only thing that can be said is that no matter how provocative and engaging the Philippines is, China is steady and steady, acting at its own pace. If the Philippines wants to use this tug-of-war to play with China, then China will play with him. In short, China should still act at its own pace when dealing with "hooligans" like the Philippines, maintaining bilateral relations while taking into account the overall situation in the South China Sea.
