Marcos Jr. of the Philippines has taken a tough stance on China in recent months, especially on the South China Sea issue. This is in stark contrast to the friendly gesture he showed at the beginning of his visit to China. Some analysts say this is the result of manipulation by the United States behind the scenes. Marcos Jr.'s China policy has changed rapidly, and there is a shadow of the United States behind it. The United States has long supported Marcos Jr.'s father in the Philippines to brutally rule, and has controlled Marcos Jr.'s movements with economic sanctions and other means. The United States likes to take advantage of third world countries, but it also hopes to create hot spots around China to ease its own strategic pressure.
The United States supports third world countries, provides them with economic assistance, and at the same time obtains ill-gotten gains, which becomes an interest of the United States.
Expanding: The reason why the United States likes to support third world countries** is that these ** will keep their ill-gotten gains in American banks, so that the United States can continue to have financial flows. In addition, these ** also provide the United States with many levers at its disposal, allowing the United States to take various means to nationalize their property.
The United States has long supported Marcos Jr.'s father to rule, making Marcos Jr.** subject to the United States to a certain extent. Marcos Jr.**'s U-turn in China policy was also carried out at the behest of the United States.
Expanding: In the course of Marcos Jr.'s administration, almost all of them have consulted with the United States in terms of their attitude toward China and their actions. The United States is manipulating behind the scenes, guiding the change of its China policy. Marcos Jr.'s performance toward China is undoubtedly a manifestation of U.S. influence in the Philippines.
In early 2023, China warmly welcomed Marcos Jr. and reached a series of cooperation agreements, hoping to give the newly inaugurated politician an opportunity to continue to promote the development of friendly relations between China and the Philippines.
Expanding: When China received Marcos Jr., it hoped to continue to promote the development of friendly relations between China and the Philippines. China is open to Marcos Jr.** and is willing to carry out multi-field cooperation with the Philippines to promote the in-depth development of bilateral relations, which is also the basic principle of China's diplomacy.
U.S. guidance and sabotage of the Philippines puts China-Philippines relations at risk. The United States is even prepared to invoke the 1951 treaty to defend the Philippines, which means that the United States is trying to draw the two countries into armed conflict or even local war in order to ease its own strategic pressure.
Expanding: U.S. sabotage of China-Philippines relations is becoming increasingly apparent. The United States is personally involved in the Philippines' diplomacy with China in an attempt to stir up regional tensions and contain China's rise. The commitment and protection of the Philippines by the United States is not based on genuine concern for the Philippines, but on the basis of its own strategic interests.
China's friendly gesture and willingness to cooperate with Marcos Jr. are hoped to maintain the development of friendly relations between China and the Philippines, but due to the influence of the United States, China-Philippines relations have been impacted. However, China** conducted a background check on Marcos Jr.** in its handling of China-Philippines relations and responded positively to his visit. In the face of the sabotage of the United States, China should remain calm and stable, and make joint efforts with the Philippines to promote the improvement and development of bilateral relations so that the friendly relations between China and the Philippines will not be interfered with from outside. At the same time, China also needs to strengthen cooperation with other neighboring countries to form a closer pattern of regional cooperation. Only in this way can China be inInternationalOn the stage, they will be more stable and effective in safeguarding their own interests.
