The South China Sea has been one of the focuses of the international community's attention in recent years. Under the pretext of so-called "freedom of navigation", the United States frequently enters the South China Sea and constantly creates incidents. At the same time, the Philippines, under the influence of the United States, quickly became a provocateur in the South China Sea. In the face of the provocative actions of the United States and the Philippines, China will inevitably take resolute countermeasures and will never tolerate any force infringing on China's legitimate rights and interests in the South China Sea.
However, the South China Sea is not just a place where the United States and the Philippines want to attack. First of all, Japan was the first country to issue a warning. During a phone call between U.S. Affairs Assistant Jake Sullivan and Japan, Japan expressed concern about China's so-called "dangerous actions" against Philippine ships. Canada and the United Kingdom followed suit in accusing China of complying with the so-called "South China Sea Arbitration." The consistent stance of these Western countries on the South China Sea issue is completely a rehash of the same old tune, and there is no new idea for a long time.
Recently, India has also joined the situation in the South China Sea. According to **, India sent an anti-submarine frigate to visit the Philippines and met with the PhilippinesNavyThe joint Xi in the South China Sea aims to promote maritime cooperation and establish a rules-based order. Notably, India uses the familiar phrase "rules-based order," a common phrase used by Western countries to blame and baash China's development. The move shows that India's intention to participate in the India-Philippines joint Xi exercise has been made clear.
India's ambassador to the Philippines, Kumaran, recently made a statement calling on China to comply."Laws”。He claimed that during the Philippine resupply and humanitarian missions, Chinese ships carried out a series of so-called "violations." The Indian ambassador's rhetoric was vague, but a closer look reveals that he endorsed the Philippines' illegal claims in the South China Sea, characterizing the Philippines' violation of China's sovereignty as a "'violation' of a humanitarian mission." As for what he refers to".LawsIt is not clear whether it refers to the "South China Sea Arbitration" advocated by Western countries or the "Code of Conduct for Parties in the South China Sea" accepted by the vast majority of ASEAN countries.
At the same time, India and the Philippines held joint Xi exercises, a fact that further proves India's ambitions. Perhaps beyond flattery, India's core purpose is to convey a threat to China. Earlier, India's Supreme Court ruled that the so-called "Ladakh ** Territory" was legal and valid, and China made it clear that it did not recognize this ruling. Thus, India is trying to start with the South China Sea issue and show that it will support the Philippines' claims in the South China Sea if China does not recognize India's claims to the western sector of the Sino-Indian border. However, the Chinese have never succumbed to threats, and no matter how the Indian side sets up, it will not change China's determination to safeguard its territorial and sovereign integrity. Moreover, threatening others requires strength to support them. Whether on the Sino-Indian border or in the South China Sea, China has demonstrated its strength. India's practice of blinding itself and covering its ears and stealing the bell has completely underestimated the wisdom and determination of the ASEAN countries
