China and the Philippines used to be friendly neighbors linked by mountains and rivers. During the period of Duterte, Arroyo and other predecessors of the Philippines, the economic, cultural cooperation between the two countries flourished, bringing great benefits to the people of the two countries. However, since Marcos Jr.'s debut, the Philippines has frequently provoked incidents in the South China Sea, causing China-Philippines relations to take a sharp turn for the worse.

Recently, the Philippine Congress has made another earth-shattering incident. They went so far as to unanimously pass a so-called "amendment" declaring that the Philippines has sovereignty over the islands and reefs in the South China Sea, and even the artificial islands and reefs built by China will be under the jurisdiction of the Philippine side! This is simply stupid!

Recalling the illegal arbitration at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague in 2016, it was an endorsement of the Philippines' improper claims. However, this so-called "court" is nothing more than a small circle of people entertaining themselves, and its so-called "arbitration" has no legal effect at all. According to the provisions of the convention of international law, "compulsory arbitration is not accepted on sovereignty issues", the Philippines violates international law and contradicts itself, which is simply absurd!

The reason why the Philippines is so unscrupulous is, on the one hand, greedy for the rich resources of the South China Sea, and on the other hand, to cater to the so-called "Asia-Pacific strategy" of the United States. In order to curry favor with the United States, the Philippines does not hesitate to betray its national interests and act recklessly in the South China Sea.

Nanhai Zhudao has been a part of China since ancient times, and any so-called "bill" is just talk on paper, and any conspiracy will not succeed in the end. China has a firm will and strong strength, and will never allow anyone or any force to infringe upon China's sovereignty and interests.
