These two confrontations have not only caused threats from the Philippines, but also caused interference from external forces such as the United States and the United Kingdom.

Reflections and Insights: The South China Sea issue is a complex and sensitive regional dispute involving the territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests of multiple countries. The Philippines' provocative actions in the South China Sea have heightened tensions in the region and provoked outside forces to step in. I believe that the settlement of the South China Sea issue requires all parties to follow the principles of dialogue and cooperation and find a solution to the dispute through mutual respect and consultation on an equal footing. The two sides should resolve their differences through diplomatic channels and refrain from taking drastic actions that could lead to a larger conflict. At the same time,InternationalSociety should also uphold a fair and objective stance, refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of countries in the region, and earnestly safeguard peace and stability in the South China Sea. Only through the joint efforts of all parties can peace and prosperity be achieved in the South China Sea.
