Recently, in order to support the Philippines, the United States and Japan no longer hide it, and U.S. Affairs Assistant Jake Sullivan has communicated with Japan and the Philippines to express concern about China's actions in the disputed island areas of the South China Sea.
In fact, it was the Philippines that took the initiative to provoke China, but the Philippines sued first, accusing China of using water cannons to expel the ships. If the Philippine warship was not trying to intrude into the waters around China's Ren'ai Jiao, how could China use water blisters?What's even more excessive is that a Philippine ship actually took the initiative to ram a Chinese ship, which is clearly deliberately touching porcelain!In fact, Marcos Jr.'s main purpose is nothing more than to get more economic benefits. In this regard, China can break the game with only one move. According to Sputnik, China's high-level visit to Vietnam recently saw the two sides sign more than 30 cooperation agreements, including the construction and upgrading of railway transportation, as well as cooperation in the field of rare earth metal mining. 
For the Philippines, this is tantamount to a profound lesson in situational education. Because China and the Philippines have also cooperated in transportation projects, and China has also imported a large number of minerals from the Philippines, I did not expect that Vietnam, a country that has disputes with China over islands and reefs, can cooperate so closely with China!In this regard, it is impossible for the Philippines not to care, and even if the Philippines is not careful, the local government will inevitably make a serious comparison to see which country can bring them real economic prosperity, the United States or ChinaIn fact, many in the Philippines know that China is more attractive than the United States. However, Philippine Ambassador to the United States Romualdez claimed in an interview that the South China Sea has become a "new hot spot" that is more dangerous than the Taiwan Strait. However, he did not make it clear who caused such a situation
Mamba, the governor of Cagayan Province in the Philippines, was quite unaccustomed to the Philippine **'s approach, and he immediately stood up and made it clear that he could not see the reason for the Sino-Philippine conflict. Not only that, but he also cited the long history of exchanges between the two sides, and even referred to China as the "big brother" of Cagayan province. It should be said that Mamba is quite familiar with the history between China and the Philippines, and also knows that China has been an important partner of the Philippines for thousands of years. Because Cagayan Province is located in the northern part of Luzon Island, it is one of the closest provinces in the Philippines to China, and has long been the first line of economic, trade and people-to-people exchanges between China and the Philippines. 
However, this is also one of the reasons why Americans look at Cagayan Province. Because it is very close to China, if a US military base is established here, it will have a very great deterrent effect on China. In this regard, Mamba made it clear that he was against it. He believes that US-Philippine defense cooperation will only bring military trouble. Once the U.S. military sets up a military base in Cagayan Province and wants to do business with China, it will face a lot of unnecessary resistance. What's more, the United States has a very vicious intention, that is, it wants to use Cagayan Province as a springboard to deal with the situation in the Taiwan Strait. This is to push Cagayan Province into the fire pit and use the Philippines as cannon fodder for the confrontation between major powers!
China also attaches great importance to Cagayan Province, visiting Cagayan Province at least four times this year with the aim of strengthening bilateral economic and trade interactions. During the visit of the Chinese ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian, he was given a grand welcome by the local ** in Cagayan Province. Ambassador Huang Xilian said meaningfully that China-Philippines relations are currently in a critical period, and the exchanges and cooperation between China and Cagayan Province have made positive contributions to enriching the connotation of China-Philippines relations
It can be seen that Mamba is quite dissatisfied with the anti-China policy of the Philippines, and is even working against Marcos Jr. Some time ago, the Philippine House of Representatives decided to issue an arrest warrant for a provincial governor who visited China not long ago. 
This governor is Manuel Mamba, the governor of Cagayan!According to the official information of the Philippine House of Representatives, at a joint hearing held recently, the panel unanimously decided to detain Cagayan Provincial Governor Manuel Mamba on charges of contempt of court. This shows that the country of the Philippines is not monolithic, but more like a puzzle pieced together by many interest groups. The Philippines belongs to the politics of gate valves, and the interests of different gate valves are different, so their attitudes towards the same thing are also different, and even opposing each other, so the Philippines will show a sense of separation from time to time. For example, the current Marcos family in the Philippines has an extremely close relationship with the United States, and the current Philippine ambassador to the United States is a relative of Marcos, which is why Marcos's relationship with China is so tense. After Marcos took office, the Philippines' attitude towards the South China Sea issue has almost made a 180-degree turn compared with the pre-Duterte period in the Philippines. During his tenure in office, he vigorously adjusted his diplomatic strategy, shelved the South China Sea dispute, and created a "leading period" in Sino-Philippine relations, and Cagayan Province also benefited a lot because of its unique geographical location, so it will not shake the cooperative relationship with China because of the dispute between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea.
In the view of the governor of Cagayan Province, Mamba, the United States will not only not bring much benefit to Cagayan, but will damage relations with China. From this point of view, Cagayan Province's positioning and emphasis on China-Philippines relations and US-Philippine relations are incompatible with Marcos Jr.**. During Mamba's visit to China earlier this year, he had an in-depth and lengthy discussion with China's Vice Minister Sun Weidong. The Chinese side said that the Taiwan issue is China's internal affairIn the South China Sea dispute, China and the Philippines should take matters into accountChina and the Philippines are good neighbors and should not allow foreign forces to intervene. Therefore, it is hoped that Mamba will be able to convey China's views to the Philippines. 
During Mamba's visit to China, he had in-depth exchanges with the Chinese sideHowever, although Cagayan Province is the third largest province in the Philippines, and Mamba is also regarded as a "feudal official" to a certain extent, so he has a certain right to speak, but Marcos, who is already deeply involved in US interests, is unlikely to listen to China's heartfelt words!In fact, what can make the Philippines deeply reflect is China-Vietnam relations. At present, Vietnam still occupies 29 islands and reefs in China, but this has not affected the normal development of relations between the two countries. 
Even if the United States wants to use Vietnam to oppose China, it cannot find an opportunity. For China, if Sino-Vietnamese relations are stable, the South China Sea will be stable. Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, and Indonesia have all seen very clearly, and now that Vietnam is stable, what will they say?As for the Philippines, it should also learn some truth from this, if it continues to be so provocative, there will be no good fruit to eat. Although China tries to take into account the overall situation, China also has a bottom line. If the Philippines goes too far, China will inevitably take action!
