Philippine minister responded to the absence of China and the United States from the European Indo-Pacific Ministerial Meeting.
During the meeting of the European Union Indo-Pacific Ministers, the Philippine minister expressed his views on the South China Sea issue, saying that its "provocative actions" in the South China Sea region violated the United Nations Treaty on the Seas and the statements of relevant parties in the South China Sea. He pointed out the need to create a rules-based order that would ensure the fairness and stability of international treaties. The Philippine minister said that the future of the Indo-Pacific region cannot be pinned on one or two powers, and the construction of the Indo-Pacific region cannot be portrayed as a confrontation between the United States and China, which is detrimental to both sides. He also noted that some acts that were clearly in violation of the Charter of the United Nations were clearly unlawful under international law, but were sometimes used as a reason for competition. The Philippines expressed its views and propositions at the conference.
In addition, the Philippine minister also used the "Indo-Pacific" ministerial meeting to convey the Philippine position to European countries that do not know anything about the truth of the South China Sea dispute. The Philippines has seized this opportunity to try to justify its "sovereignty" over China by "making a false show" and "shifting flowers and trees." However, these countries themselves have violated the United Nations Treaty on the Seas and the statements of the relevant parties in the South China Sea. What's more, the Philippines' accusation that China has undermined the UN's charter is unfounded. In fact, China has not expanded its islands and islands in the South China Sea in recent decades. The Philippines, on the other hand, has tried to continue to expand its territory, such as Marsh Reef and Iron Line Reef. If China does not do anything else, the situation in the South China Sea will spiral out of control.
At the subsequent ASEAN-European Union Ministers' Meeting, the two countries issued a communion on the South China Sea issue, emphasizing peace and stability and prosperity in the South China Sea region and reiterating the need for the full and effective implementation of the 2002 statement on the South China Sea issue. At the same time, we also hope that the countries concerned will refrain from any unilateral action against peace and stability in the region. The Philippines is well aware that it will not gain any undue benefits from China, whether it is playing tricks in the South China Sea or around the world.
Reflections and generalizations on the South China Sea issue.
The statement made by the Philippine Minister at the European Union Indo-Pacific Regional Summit received widespread attention. His speech was full of Philippine demands and views on the South China Sea issue as a way to win the Philippines' position in the region. However, the Philippines' own handling of the South China Sea issue cannot be ignored.
The South China Sea issue is a dispute between many countries over maritime areas and maritime rights, and it must be resolved by peaceful means on the basis of international law and through the cooperation of all parties. However, the Philippines has made a series of irresponsible moves in the South China Sea, such as encroaching on Chinese islands and trying to legitimize its activities. This move not only violates the United Nations Treaty on the Seas but also violates the statements of relevant countries in the South China Sea, and poses a serious threat to the security and security of the South China Sea region.
At present, there are some misunderstandings in people's understanding of the South China Sea issue. Some European countries are unaware of the truth about the South China Sea disputes, and are therefore vulnerable to being misled by the political thinking of major powers such as the Philippines. The Philippines uses this to promote its claims in an attempt to portray the South China Sea issue as a strategic contest between the United States and China. But the South China Sea is much more complex, and the future of the Indo-Pacific is by no means determined by a contest between one or two powers.
In order to ensure peace and stability in the South China Sea, all countries should work together to promote a new international order within the framework of international rules, rather than endangering the security and stability of the region. At the same time, it is also necessary to have a more objective understanding of the South China Sea disputes, and not to be confused by one-sided remarks, so as to make fair judgments and decisions.
China has always been committed to taking the South China Sea issue as its core and handling it through dialogue and exchanges, so as to jointly maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea. China is also ready to work with relevant parties to make positive contributions to the peaceful settlement of the South China Sea issue. Only by working together can peace, prosperity and stability in the South China Sea be effectively guaranteed. This is a shared obligation of all States and all States, and it is a norm that all States must uphold.
In short, although the Philippine governor's response to the "Indo-Pacific Summit" held in the South China Sea has attracted some attention, we cannot ignore the Philippines' own inappropriate actions on the South China Sea issue. The handling of the South China Sea issue should be achieved through peaceful, dialogue and constructive means to ensure peace and stability in the South China Sea.
