Title:
Surprise!The Chinese ship was hit, the United States and Britain made irresponsible remarks, the inside story of the farce in the South China Sea**!
Have you heard?In a recent storm in the South China Sea, when a Chinese coast guard ship was forcibly rammed by a Philippine vessel, the development of events is unbelievable. Within 24 hours, the United States and Britain were blaming China and even supporting the Philippines in considering expelling the Chinese ambassador. What the hell is going on here?Why did it become like this?What should we do?
First of all, on December 10, the Philippines sent a ship to illegally intrude into Ren'ai Jiao, knowing that China has sovereignty, and actually attempted to deliver supplies to the Philippines**, which was illegally "beached" in the reef. In order to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, the China Coast Guard has taken necessary control measures. However, the Philippines' response was astonishing, not only did it not recognize its mistake, but it openly declared that the Chinese coast guard's actions were "aggression and provocation".
What is even more bizarre is that Ferdinand Marcos went so far as to make a rake back, claiming that the actions of the Chinese coast guard will strengthen their determination to "national sovereignty". This is simply a reversal of black and white, and from the rational side, this statement is obviously untenable.
However, the story doesn't end there. On December 11, the day after the Philippine ship collided with the Chinese ship, the United States openly sided with the Philippines and made unreasonable accusations against China, claiming that China interfered in Philippine maritime operations and undermined regional stability. It has also unceremoniously demanded that China stop its so-called "dangerous and destabilizing behavior" in the South China Sea.
This is obviously a reversal of right and wrong, and it is clear that the Philippines has intruded into China's territorial waters in violation of the law, but the United States has accused China one-sidedly. On the same day, the UK issued a statement accusing China of "insecurity and escalation" against the Philippines in the South China Sea, and strongly called on China and the Philippines to abide by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and the 2016 South China Sea Arbitration Award.
This series of developments makes one wonder what makes the United States and Britain so clearly on the side of the Philippines and ignore the truthDoes this mean that there has been some kind of change in international relations?
China's spokesperson Mao Ning's response was nothing short of to the point, emphasizing that the maritime dispute between China and the Philippines is an issue between China and the Philippines, and no third party has the right to intervene. This is too right, it is obviously a matter between China and the Philippines, but the United States and Britain jumped out to add to the chaos, which is really unreasonable.
The UK's reference to the 2016 South China Sea arbitration seems to be an attempt to stir up the situation in the South China Sea again. However, in fact, China has long made it clear that it will not participate, accept or recognize this arbitration case, and the fact that the United Kingdom has brought it up again will inevitably raise doubts about its real motives.
In just 24 hours, the United States and Britain made unreasonable accusations against China and openly stood up for the Philippines, which not only complicated the situation in the South China Sea, but also gave the Philippines greater confidence. According to a number of ** reports, the Philippine deputy minister urgently summoned the Chinese ambassador to the Philippines to express his dissatisfaction with China on the spot, and said that he might declare the Chinese ambassador "persona non grata" in the Philippines and even consider "expelling him".
The Philippine side's hardline attitude is obviously supported by the United States and Britain. If Marcos continues to stubbornly insist, China-Philippines relations will face more severe tests in the future. Does all this mean some kind of reshuffling in international relations?We can only wait and see, and hope that all parties will treat them calmly, handle differences rationally, and maintain regional peace and stability.
Looking at all this from another angle, the fact that the Philippines' illegal behavior against China has been explicitly supported by the United States and Britain makes one wonder if international relations are really so simple
In this storm in the South China Sea, we have seen the complexity of international politics and the closeness of some countries in geopolitics. For China, however, it is incumbent upon them to defend their territorial sovereignty, no matter what the outside world may blame.
China's Mao Ning's statement demonstrates China's firm position in safeguarding national interests, emphasizing that disputes in the South China Sea should be resolved by China and the Philippines through dialogue and consultation, and no third party has the right to intervene.
In the process, we have seen that the United States and Britain are on the wrong side, ignoring the truth and making unfair accusations against China. By referring to the 2016 South China Sea arbitration again, the UK clearly wants to take the opportunity to meddle in the situation in the South China Sea, which is not only a provocation to China's position, but also a disrespect for the international rule of law.
The fact that the Philippines has behaved so hard after receiving the support of the United States and Britain that it is even considering expelling the Chinese ambassador is not only a violation of diplomatic etiquette, but also a provocation to China. If Marcos insists on going forward, China-Philippines relations may face a more severe test in the future.
Overall, the South China Sea storm has not only exposed the double standards of some countries in international relations, but also reflected some hidden concerns in the current geopolitics. As a responsible major country, China will continue to resolutely defend its territorial sovereignty and safeguard regional peace and stability.
This storm also reminds us that what cannot be ignored in international relations is that history and reality are not always simple. In dealing with complex international affairs, we need to be calm and rational, not to be swayed by the noise of the outside world, to make rational judgments, and to stick to principles.
Perhaps this storm is only a moment in international relations, but the reflections and warnings contained in it are far from being ignored. In the face of a complex and volatile international environment, China needs to remain steadfast and safeguard its national interests and promote regional peace and prosperity through principled and rational dialogue.
