The South China Sea, the contest between China and the Philippines is jaw-dropping. Hey, dear readers, today I'm going to unveil a mystery of the South China Sea for you, so stay tuned for the inside story of this South China Sea battle!
First, let's review recent events. Within 48 hours, the situation in the South China Sea continued to be turbulent, and China's "calm restraint" compared with the "continuous mistakes" of the Philippines made people stunned. Isn't it a bit of a plot reversal?Let's take a closer look at the causes and consequences of this "South China Sea drama".
Hi, have you ever wondered why the Philippines always makes some "small moves" in the South China Sea?Don't worry, I'll reveal the mystery to you. In fact, the Philippines' frequent provocations in the South China Sea are not without reason. From China's point of view, Marcos** is menacing, and his provocative intentions are clearly exposed. The two recent incidents, one of which involves a fishing boat intruding into the waters of Scarborough Shoal and the other of which attempts to "beach" Ren'ai Jiao, are serious violations of China's sovereignty. This is not a joke, but a sharp collision on the South China Sea issue.
Speaking of which, Marcos of the Philippines made a clear statement during the San Francisco meeting, saying that he hoped to resolve differences in the South China Sea through consultation. But looking at the recent performance of the Philippine side, it is really worrying. Not long ago, when Philippine ships illegally "beached"** to transport supplies, they not only rushed in an unsafe and unprofessional manner, but also conducted joint patrols with the United States and Australia, and the intention of provocation was clearly exposed.
However, in the face of the Philippine side's blatant provocations, China has always maintained a professional and restrained attitude. What is the reason for repeatedly giving the Philippines the opportunity to "turn over a new leaf"?Let's think about it, is it because China has always been committed to maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea, rather than acting rashly?
Did you know that China has already done its utmost on the South China Sea issue? Nearly 100 solemn representations and declarations are nothing more than China's response to the frequent provocations by the Philippine side. China advises the Philippines to stop hyping up maritime disputes between China and the Philippines, stop maritime violations and provocations, resolve maritime differences through negotiation and consultation as soon as possible, and jointly safeguard peace and stability in the South China Sea. This is not empty words, but China's determination to maintain peace has been demonstrated time and time again.
Don't think this is the end of the story, the resolution of the Philippine House of Representatives "condemning" China's "illegal actions" in the South China Sea has added fuel to the fire. In this regard, China has already made a solemn statement and adheres to its sovereignty over Nansha, Xisha and Zhongsha and Scarborough Shoal. In the future, China will continue to take necessary measures to firmly safeguard its sovereignty. China's law-abiding enforcement actions in the waters under its jurisdiction are legitimate, lawful and beyond reproach, and are by no means "dangerous law enforcement" hyped up by the Philippines and its allies.
In general, the tension in the South China Sea is not accidental, but comes from a provocation by the Philippine side. In the future, if Manila continues to hype up the South China Sea arbitration case and sends ships to provoke in the South China Sea waters, the squadron will take concrete actions to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. China's on-site operations are professional, standardized, legitimate and lawful, and the Philippine side will not tolerate infringement, provocation, slander and hype. In the future, the China Coast Guard will further strengthen rights protection and law enforcement actions in the waters under its jurisdiction, and resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
At this point in the story, it's time to think about it. Whose responsibility is it for the battle in the South China Sea?On this stage, China has shown calm and restraint, while the Philippines has made a series of mistakes. Perhaps, this story is not only about the South China Sea, but also about the resonance between everyone who cares about international affairs.
