Recently, the Philippines has frequently provoked China's territorial sovereignty in the South China Sea. In addition to Scarborough Shoal, the Philippines has also violated China's Ren'ai Jiao and other Spratly islands and reefs, which have sparked serious regional tensions.
There are two main reasons for the surge in provocations in the Philippines. First, influenced by historical and territorial disputes, the Philippines stubbornly believes that it has a chance to retake Scarborough Shoal and put it in its own "exclusive economic zone". Secondly, Scarborough Shoal is strategically located in the South China Sea, and it is a necessary route for merchant ships and ** to the Indian Ocean. In addition, Scarborough Shoal is also surrounded by abundant fishery resources, which are very important for the Philippines, which is the backbone of its economy.
However, Marcos**'s provocative act was carried out against the backdrop of rapid progress in the construction of China's South China Sea islands. China's artificial island projects have already made brilliant achievements on islands and reefs in the South China Sea, such as Fiery Cross Island, and the construction of islands and reefs has been completed. These construction projects not only strengthen China's sovereignty in the South China Sea, but also constitute a powerful deterrent to the Philippines. According to the comparison of strength, the Philippines does not dare to really provoke China, but the Philippines is constantly escalating the means of provocation, indicating that there is greater support and interest behind it.
One of the reasons why the Philippines' provocations have been emboldened is because of the support of the United States. The United States has always regarded China as a competitor, and the Philippines has become an important pawn for the United States to contain China in the South China Sea. The United States hopes to use the Philippines to achieve its Indo-Pacific strategic goals and seek more benefits.
On the other hand, the factors of the internal political struggle in the Philippines have also contributed to the escalation of provocations. In order to consolidate his political position and meet the demands of domestic politics, Marcos needs to take a tough stance on the South China Sea issue to assert his authority. The political struggle of Duterte in the former Philippines has also made Marcos more in need of diplomatic achievements to consolidate his position.
However, such a provocative act pursued by the Philippines** is extremely unwise. China has absolute military superiority in the South China Sea, and any provocative actions will not be able to resist China's determination and ability to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
There is an old Chinese saying: "When a friend comes, there is good wine, and when a jackal comes, there is a shotgun." This sentence is a very apt description of China's attitude on the South China Sea issue. China is not afraid of territorial provocations by opportunists and resolutely defends its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
China has a strong military presence in the South China Sea, which the Philippines and other countries must take seriously. China's construction of artificial islands in the South China Sea not only provides a solid foundation for strengthening military defense, but also makes important contributions to regional peace and stability.
Overall, the Philippines' frequent provocations have had a negative impact on peace and stability in the South China Sea. The Philippines should not be kidnapped by the United States, but should work with China to resolve disputes through dialogue and cooperation and make positive contributions to regional prosperity and stability.
In summary, behind the frequent provocative acts of the Philippines are not only the support and interests of the United States, but also the factors of the Philippine internal political struggle. These provocations will inevitably be met with a firm response from China. China has an absolute military superiority in the South China Sea and will resolutely defend its territorial sovereignty. The Philippines should face up to the reality, resolve disputes through dialogue and cooperation, and make its due contribution to regional peace and stability. The South China Sea is a common home, and only through cooperation can we achieve win-win results and common development.
