Will Second Thomas Reef usher in a major decision? China showed its cards and for the first time pro

As the most powerful cultural output in Asia, Chinese traditional culture has been inherited by Chinese people around the world for its profound historical heritage and unique style. In South Asia, such as Singapore and Malaysia, the Chinese community upholds this tradition, bathing in the traditional peaceful atmosphere every Chinese New Year, and the scene of family reunion is very emotional.

In this moment of happiness, there are always those who choose to join in when others are celebrating, and destroy the tranquility. On February 2, Philippine ships again delivered daily necessities to Second Thomas Shoal, but this time, the Chinese side chose restraint and did not resort to drastic measures such as interception.

Looking back at history, the Philippines' coveting of the South China Sea can be traced back to the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, Asian countries were developing their own countries, but the Philippines was eyeing the islands and reefs in the South China Sea. In 1999, the Philippines parked a USS Sierra Madre on Second Thomas Shoal, citing a mechanical failure that required repairs. Until 2002, the Philippines did not fulfill its promise to tow the wrecked ship away. After the signing of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, the Philippines violated its commitments by continuously sending supplies to Ren'ai Jiao, and even providing concrete and iron plates in an attempt to extend the "life" of the broken ship.

The "Five Questions Ren'ai Jiao" series released by CCTV directly poked at the crux of the problem. From history to reality, each chapter reveals the untrustworthiness of the Philippines, which tries to distort the facts for its own selfish gain. Among them, the question "Who is treacherous" details the Philippines' long-standing control over Second Thomas Shoal and its evil deeds in the international community. **, mentioning China's rational restraint on the South China Sea issue, treating Filipino seafarers with basic living supplies, but prohibiting other supplies.

In the chapter "Who Repeatedly Touches the Porcelain for Show", ** revealed that the Philippines invites foreign countries to go every time it sends supplies, and distorts the facts through editing, trying to exaggerate the image of our country as a bully. It turns out that this is just a farce, whether it is a "laser **" or an "illegal collision", it is an unwarranted accusation against our country.

Of even greater concern is the question of who has repeatedly distorted international law. ** bluntly pointed out that the Philippines uses the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which is not recognized by China, to adjudicate ownership, simplify the problem, and try to solve it through legal means. This misinterpretation of the law is scornful, and national territorial issues are not the same thing as legal disputes.

The final question, "Who is behind the scenes?" is even more pertinent, revealing the close relationship between the new Philippine leader and the United States, as well as the ambitions of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region. This series of problems accurately points to the root cause of the South China Sea problem at the collusion between the Philippine leadership and the United States.

The eighth meeting of the China-Philippines Bilateral Consultation Mechanism on the South China Sea issue was held in Shanghai, and various departments gathered together, demonstrating China's strong influence on the Philippines. By spreading the accounts of the Philippines over the years, China has expressed its firm position on the South China Sea issue and does not want to become a "wet nurse" for the Philippines.

After the China-Philippines economic earthquake triggered by Scarborough Shoal, the Philippines might as well think about its own development path. Continuing to "mess around" with our country will only make the cycle of history play out again. On the contrary, resolving disputes through cooperation and dialogue may be the path to true prosperity. I hope that the Philippines can look at it rationally, cherish its friendly relations with China, and jointly promote regional peace and prosperity.
