Background: Recently, the Philippines has continuously provoked China in the South China Sea, leading to tensions in the South China Sea. After China responded to the Philippine provocation, the Philippine vessel made a dangerous move to ram the Chinese coast guard vessel. China has shown its cards and made clear six clear views, emphasizing the need to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea. This series of events puts the Philippines at risk of eating its own bitter fruits.
As a small country in the South China Sea, the Philippines could have pursued its own development through peaceful development. However, with the support of external forces, the Philippines has continued to stir up trouble in the South China Sea. During the Duterte era, the Philippines had good relations with China and benefited from China's development opportunities. However, after Marcos Jr. came to power, the Philippines began to adopt a first-class strategy to cooperate with the United States to stir up trouble in the South China Sea, resulting in tensions in the South China Sea. The Philippines ignored warnings from Chinese coast guard vessels and intruded into waters near China's Scarborough Shoal, and the Chinese coast guard took decisive control measures to safeguard its territorial sovereignty. The Philippines later complained that China used water cannons to attack Philippine ships, but the fact is that the Philippines provoked first, and the Chinese coast guard's measures were legitimate.
As China asserts its territorial sovereignty over Scarborough Shoal and Ren'ai Jiao, the Chinese Coast Guard has taken control measures against Philippine vessels. However, the Philippines** rammed a Chinese coast guard vessel, creating a very dangerous situation in the South China Sea. In the briefing, the CCG pointed out the fact that the Philippine vessel ignored Chinese warnings and rammed the CCG vessel in an unprofessional and dangerous manner. The Philippines has intensified its provocations at Scarborough Shoal and Ren'ai Jiao in succession. Such an act not only violates the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, but also exacerbates tensions in the South China Sea.
The Philippines' provocation in the South China Sea and its intensification of provocations are actually an attempt to leverage the support of the United States and other foreign forces to achieve its own illegal interests. The Philippines hopes to gain its own so-called interests in the South China Sea by creating a big stir in the South China Sea and attracting external support. However, the provocative behavior of the Philippines has brought great trouble to peace in the South China Sea.
Fourth, China has shown its cards to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea.
In the face of successive provocations by the Philippines, China has made clear six clear views to show that it has done its best to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea. China has made clear its sovereignty over Nanhai Zhudao and its adjacent waters, while pointing out that the South China Sea arbitration is illegal and that China's deployment of its own defense facilities and scientific research activities in the South China Sea are all legal. In addition, China stressed that Ren'ai Jiao is part of China's Nansha Islands, and that the Philippines' beaching is completely illegal. China's fishing moratorium is aimed at protecting living marine resources, and the Philippines is not in a position to blame. Finally, China pointed out that the Philippines' frequent and illegal landings on China's islands and reefs and its provocations constitute a serious violation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea. The clear expression of these six views reflects China's propositions and bottom line on the South China Sea issue.
By showing its cards and making its point clear, China is sending a clear message to the Philippines. China has done everything it can, and if the Philippines still can't understand China's goodwill, then it will have to ask for its own suffering. In maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea, China has done its utmost to do its duty. If the Philippines continues to provoke, it will face the consequences of swallowing its own bitter fruits. China has been maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea and has the support of most countries in the world. The Philippines, on the other hand, has stepped up its provocations in the South China Sea with the support of foreign forces, which is an unwise move.
Summary: The Philippines' provocative actions in the South China Sea have caused tensions in the South China Sea, but China has taken control measures in accordance with the law to safeguard its territorial sovereignty. China has shown its cards and made clear six clear views, emphasizing the need to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea. The Philippines' provocative actions are a violation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea and a violation of China's territorial sovereignty. China has done its best to maintain peace and stability, and the Philippines will face the risk of swallowing its own bitter fruit if it continues to provoke.
