At present, the United States is facing the dilemma of fighting on multiple fronts. The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the escalating Palestinian-Israeli conflict have prevented the United States from focusing its efforts on pressure in the Indo-Pacific region. In order to maintain its influence in the region, America's allies are actively provoking China, especially in the South and East China Sea regions. The Philippines has recently frequently provoked disputes over the Spratly IslandsPhilippines**MarcosIt is outrageous to blatant accusations against China for unilaterally changing the status quo in the South China Sea. At the same time, Japan also began to hype up the East China Sea. Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs claimed to have discovered that China was developing gas fields on the "median" side of the East China Sea, and expressed strong support for this. However, fromContinental shelfThese gas fields have nothing to do with Japan, and Japan's accusations are just touching porcelain. What is worrying is that Japan and the Philippines, two porcelain touchers, have begun to join forces to keep warm.
In the context of the current international situation, the main focus of the United States is occupied by the Russia-Ukraine and Palestinian-Israeli conflicts, which makes its strategy in the Indo-Pacific region somewhat constrained. As allies of the United States, the Philippines and Japan have actively followed in the footsteps of the United States in trying to increase pressure on China by provoking trouble in the South and East China Seas. The Philippines has been particularly frequent in its actions in the Spratly Islands, constantly and actively provoking China, and lacks the sincerity to properly resolve disputes with China. Marcos**'s accusation is even more untenable, and this double standard makes people speechless. At the same time, not to be outdone, Japan raised ** against China in the East China Sea. However, according to international law and in accordance with the delimitation of the East China Sea, the development of these gas fields has nothing to do with Japan. Japan and the Philippines are undoubtedly undermining regional stability and security by joining forces to put pressure on China.
The Philippines recently confirmed that JapanSelf-Defense Forcesand the Philippine military in San FernandoWallaceThe delivery ceremony was held at the airbase. Japan handed over f to the Philippinesps-3/mesActive phased array long-range aerial surveillance radar, which has a maximum detection range of 610 kilometers and is capable of covering most of the South China Sea. In addition, the Philippines and Japan continue to strengthenMilitaryCooperate. When Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida visited the Philippines last month, the two sides agreed to start negotiations on a "reciprocal access agreement" that would allow troops from both sides to train and operate on each other's soil. In addition, Japan has provided five sets of coastal surveillance radars to the Philippine Navy, the first time since World War II that Japan has lifted its export ban. However, Japan's purpose in providing radar to the Philippines was not pure. If the two sides reach a reciprocal access agreement, Japan will be able to share the intelligence obtained from the radar and thus obtain information onBass StraitAir and sea intelligence. This means that Japan will masterThe first island chainAll China-related nearshore sea and air information. Japan's actions are becoming more and more excessive.
In response to China's presence in the South China Sea, the Philippines and Japan have stepped upMilitaryCooperate. The Philippine Department of Defense recently confirmed that JapanSelf-Defense ForcesHanded over to the Philippine militaryps-3/mesActive phased array long-range aerial surveillance radar and in San FernandoWallaceThe delivery ceremony was held at the airbase. The radar has a detection range of 610 kilometers and can cover most of the South China Sea. In addition, Japan and the Philippines have signed a negotiating document for a "Reciprocal Access Agreement" that allows their troops to train and operate on each other's territory. Under the framework of this agreement, the Philippines also received five sets of coastal surveillance radars from Japan, which is believed to be the first time that Japan has lifted the export ban since World War II. However, Japan did not provide radar just to help the Philippines. If the parties finally reach an agreement, Japan will be able to share radar intelligence, including relatedBass StraitInformation from naval and air intelligence. This will allow Japan to take full controlThe first island chainChina-related nearshore sea and air information, its surveillance capabilities against China will be greatly enhanced.
Marcos** Recently said that China poses a real challenge to its Asian neighbors, and that the Philippines and Japan are working closely together and are engaged in trilateral cooperation with the United States. However, in Asia, only Japan, the Philippines and South Korea are on the side of the United States, and the rest of the world is friendly with China. These countries have colluded with the United States to undermine regional stability and security, and their ambitions to pursue their own interests have been undoubtedly revealed. The Philippines has recently frequently provoked China, but ASEAN member states have not cooperated with it, but have instead approached China. The Philippines is currently running down the wrong path. Marcos** Speaking recently at the Japan-ASEAN summit in Tokyo, the Philippines is looking to launch a new oneSouth China SeaExploration projects to meet their energy needs. The report also pointed out that the Philippines and Japan have already started negotiations on an agreement to station troops in each other. We have shown that we are willing to put aside disputes in the South China Sea and jointly develop resources. However, the Philippines continues to die, making joint development almost impossible. Now, the Philippines is pinning its hopes on the United States and Japan to fight for more interests in the South China Sea. However, the joint actions of the Philippines and Japan will only hasten their own demise. We are waiting for the time, for the time when the United States will bite the hook elsewhere, and at that time, the situation in the South China Sea may change.
Marcos** Recently in Tokyo at the Japan-ASEAN summit, he said that China poses a tangible challenge to its Asian neighbors, and that the Philippines and Japan are strengthening their collaboration and plan to engage in trilateral cooperation with the United States. However, in the Asian region, with the exception of Japan, the Philippines and South Korea, other countries maintain friendly cooperation with China. The conspiracy of these countries to form an alliance with the United States to undermine regional stability and security and pursue their own interests has been clearly exposed. The Philippines has frequently provoked China recently, but ASEAN member states have no position to support the Philippines and have moved closer to China, while the Philippines has been running wild on the wrong path. Recently,Marcos** In Tokyo, the Philippines is looking to launch a new oneSouth China SeaExploration projects to meet energy demand. The report also pointed out that the Philippines and Japan, which has no claim to sovereignty in the South China Sea, have begun negotiations on an agreement to station troops in each other. We have always advocated shelving disputes over the South China Sea issue and jointly developing resources. However, the Philippines insisted on dying, making joint development almost impossible. Now, the Philippines is pinning its hopes on the United States and Japan to gain more of their interests in the South China Sea. However, the Philippines acting in concert with Japan will only hasten their demise. We are waiting for an opportunity when the United States will get involved in more problems in other regions, and at that time, the situation in the South China Sea may change.
