The issue of Ren'ai Jiao in the South China Sea continues to affect people's minds. In recent days, the Philippines has continued to provoke and even threatened to expel the Chinese ambassador. China resolutely opposes this move and expresses its strong dissatisfaction through diplomatic channels. At the same time, Russia sent a group of ships to visit the Philippines
It has attracted widespread attention from the outside world. However, should we read too much into Russia's move?First of all, Russia sent a group of ships to visit the Philippines, which is indeed somewhat sensitive in terms of timing. Moreover, the ship group sent by the Russian side includes 2 Project 1155 anti-submarine destroyers
The displacement is around 7000 to 7500 tons. Does this move mean that Russia is siding with the Philippines?In fact, Russia has its own considerations and decisions, and this visit may be just an event within its schedule, and there is no need to read too much into it.
Second, judging from Sino-Russian relations and Russia's overall considerations, Russia's dispatch of a ship group to the Philippines does not mean that it is deliberately trying to please the Philippines. The amount between China and Russia has exceeded 200 billion US dollars, and the prospects for economic and trade cooperation between the two sides are broad. In the military sphere,
Sino-Russian cooperation has also continued to bear fruit, which is crucial for promoting stability in the Asia-Pacific region. Therefore, Russia's sending a group of ships to visit the Philippines is not deliberate, but part of its daily activities. Moreover, China has been persuading the Philippines not to stir up trouble on the basis of its sovereign position
We hope to maintain the stability of China-Philippines relations. The Philippines should also rein in its behavior and get China-Philippines relations back on track. Peace and stability in the South China Sea is also of paramount importance to the Philippines. Therefore, all parties should exercise restraint and work together to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea. Finally,
With regard to the South China Sea issue, what we hope is that all parties can resolve disputes through dialogue and consultation, rather than provocation and confrontation. Peace and stability in the South China Sea is in the common interests of countries in the region and is conducive to the prosperity and development of the region. It is hoped that the Philippine side will take a rational view of the South China Sea issue
We will return to the track of resolving disputes through dialogue and jointly promote peace and stability in the South China Sea.
