The Philippines "condemns" China, and China is strongDeniedandCount the six major crimes in the PhilippinesAs 2023 draws to a close, the South China Sea issue has once again become an international focus. The Philippines, a country that has long clashed China over the South China Sea, still does not seem to have given up on provocations. On December 6, the Philippine House of Representatives issued a new "resolution" that once again ignited the flames of the South China Sea dispute.
The Philippine resolution has attracted widespread attention, and journalists have brought the issue to China's regular press conference. In the face of the Philippines' accusations, China's spokesman Wang Wenbin responded in six ways and issued a strong "article against the Philippines" to set the tone for China's position on the South China Sea issue.
As we all know, the Philippines has continued to provoke China in the South China Sea in recent months. From the attempt to ram a Chinese coast guard ship to the "bill" passed by the House of Representatives on December 6, the Philippine actions have led to a rapid cooling of Sino-Philippine relations. However, all this stems from the resolution of the Philippine House of Representatives.
At the regular press conference, spokesman Wang Wenbin mentioned six aspects and made China's position clear and clear. First, China has indisputable sovereignty over Nanhai Zhudao. Second, China does not recognize the "South China Sea Arbitration" mentioned by the Philippines, arguing that it violates international norms.
China emphasizes the lawful actions of its own people in the waters under its jurisdiction. Fourth, Ren'ai Jiao is an inalienable part of China's territory, and the Philippines' transgression is firmly defended by China. Fifth, China's fishing and moratorium management in the relevant waters is in accordance with international law.
Finally, the Philippines has frequently dispatched congressmen and haunts near Ren'ai Jiao, which has caused dozens of notes from China.
Wang Wenbin's spokesman's rhetoric is forceful, revealing the hypocritical face of the Philippines. However, the Philippine drama is boring.
The South China Sea arbitration has long been denied by China, while the Philippines insists on reintroducing it, which seems a bit out of tune. In terms of overall national strength, if a military conflict breaks out between the Philippines and China in the South China Sea, it may be difficult to take advantage.
Therefore, the Philippines can only try to save face for itself through a war of words. However, both China and the Philippines understand that this is not positive for the situation in the South China Sea.
Frankly speaking, China has always advocated joint development of the South China Sea with the Philippines and other relevant countries, and it is in the interests of all parties to maintain regional peace and stability.
In the future, the Philippines should shake hands with China as soon as possible, otherwise, these senseless provocations will only harm the Philippines itself.
The evolution of the South China Sea issue has once again highlighted the complexity of the international arena. China's tough response demonstrates its firm determination to safeguard its national interests in the South China Sea.
And although the Philippines is trying to save face through a war of words, its boring performance does not change the facts. In the future, reconciliation and cooperation are the key to maintaining stability in the South China Sea, and it is necessary for the Philippines to assess the situation and reach a consensus with China as soon as possible to avoid irreparable losses caused by the South China Sea issue.
