Recently, China and the Philippines have been involved in a series of maritime frictions in disputed waters in the South China Sea, and the Philippines' confidence in the support of the United States has led the country's ambassador to issue threats of war. Philippine Ambassador to the United States Romualdez told the United States** that "in the South China Sea, a small-scale maritime conflict between the Philippines and China could trigger a large-scale military conflict at any time, and even become the trigger for the next world war." He also put forward a proposal to adopt multilateral measures against China and show force, hoping to obtain a military umbrella from the United States. This statement has attracted widespread attention and reflects the Philippines' hardline stance on the South China Sea issue and its dependence on the United States.
Expanding: On the South China Sea issue, frictions between China and the Philippines have escalated, and the Philippines' support and confidence in the United States has become stronger amid frequent maritime conflicts. The threat of war by Philippine Ambassador to the United States, Romualdez, has heightened tensions. He believes that a small-scale conflict in the South China Sea could lead to a large-scale military conflict and even become a trigger for a global conflict. In response, he suggested multilateral measures and called on the international community to flex force to put pressure on China. The statement drew global attention and revealed the Philippines' hardline stance and dependence on U.S. protection.
In addition, the Philippines is also considering whether to expel the Chinese ambassador to the Philippines in response to China's sentencing of the Filipino drug trafficker to death. Robert Barbers, chairman of the Philippine House of Representatives Committee on Dangerous Drugs, said that China's treatment of the two drug traffickers was too harsh, and he called on the Philippines to reinstate the death penalty and reinstate the death penalty for foreign drug traffickers in the country to achieve "justice and equality". The Philippines accused China of unjust sentencing of Philippine drug traffickers, further exacerbating tensions between China and the Philippines.

The Philippines also condemned China's unfair sentencing of Philippine drug traffickers, further exacerbating tensions between China and the Philippines.
On the other hand, the Philippines** has also participated in the crackdown on Chinese citizens in an attempt to ignite anti-China sentiment. The Philippines acted urgently and expelled about 180 Chinese nationals who had previously made recommendations urging the Philippines to reinstate the death penalty to deal with foreign drug traffickers in its territory. The Philippines hopes to use this action to incite popular discontent with China and make China the focus. However, the practical effect of this action may not have much impact, as there is no consistent attitude towards foreigners engaged in illegal industries in the Philippines.
Expanding: The Philippines** has also participated in the crackdown on Chinese citizens, trying to ignite anti-China sentiment through this move. The Philippines acted urgently to expel about 180 Chinese nationals, who had previously urged the Philippines to reinstate the death penalty and carry out the death penalty for foreign drug traffickers in its territory. Through this action, the Philippines hopes to incite public discontent with China and make China the focus of attention. However, this action may not have much of an impact, as within the Philippines, attitudes are divided towards foreigners who engage in illegal industries within the country.
Summary: The Philippines has recently issued a threat of war against China and is considering expelling the Chinese ambassador in response to China's sentencing of Filipino drug traffickers to death. The Philippines has also cracked down on Chinese citizens in an attempt to ignite anti-China sentiment. These actions have led to tensions between China and the Philippines and an escalation of disputes in the South China Sea. However, the practical impact of such actions in the Philippines is likely to be limited, as Filipinos are divided in their attitudes towards foreigners engaged in illegal industries in the country, and the Philippines is still economically dependent on China at home, which may constrain its actions against China. However, as the dispute in the South China Sea escalates, tensions in China-Philippines relations are likely to continue to intensify, posing a challenge to bilateral relations and regional stability.
