U.S. White House aide Jake Sullivan spoke with "** advisers" to Japan and the Philippines, inciting the South China Sea issue, claiming concern about China's actions in the "disputed islands" area. At the instigation of the United States, many countries have expressed support for the Philippines in an attempt to achieve its political goals by eroding stability in the South China Sea.
The Indian Navy's Kamota-class anti-submarine frigate visited the Philippines, claiming to help the Philippines "protect its territorial waters." India has tried to sell warships to the Philippines through naval exercises, further aggravating the situation in the South China Sea. However, the Philippines is facing financial pressures and has limited real capacity.
On the occasion of Marcos' upcoming visit to Japan, the Philippines seeks more large patrol vessels from Japan to enhance the coast guard's long-sea patrol capabilities. It is planned to establish a patrol ship base in the South China Sea and strengthen its presence in the South China Sea.
The Philippines has roped in many countries to carry out so-called "joint patrols", but ASEAN's low-key attitude shows that the Philippines is triumphant. The more foreign forces intervene, the more the Philippines is isolated, and it is even weaker than China.
Extraterritorial forces meddled in the South China Sea for political self-interest, with the United States threatening the US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty and India trying to peddle **. If the Philippines fails to recognize the situation, it may be exploited by foreign forces, which will eventually lead to further chaos in the South China Sea.
