It seems that the situation in the South China Sea has finally calmed down for a period of time, but what people did not expect is thatThe Philippines not only did not take advantage of this time to reflect on its mistakes, but on the contrary, it secretly made small moves and even wanted to join forces with Vietnam to support itself, and then implement its so-called "island seizure plan" against Scarborough Shoal.
I believe that many people who are concerned about the situation in the South China Sea still remember that as early as last year, Marcos ** and the Philippine military had announced a plan to control Scarborough Shoal again, that is, the notorious so-called "island seizure plan", in order to achieve its own ambitions, the Philippine side proposed that the Philippine military and the Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Bureau under the Philippine ** department implement this plan, but in order to confuse the Chinese side, the Philippine side did not immediately start to implement this plan, and there was a period of time in between. Recently, the Philippine side seems to have sensed that the time has come, so it has begun to implement its so-called "plan to seize the island" and directly dispatched relevant personnel to try to forcibly enter Scarborough Shoal.
Soon, the Philippine personnel attempted to illegally intrude into Scarborough Shoal and were warned and driven away in accordance with the lawMarcos did not give the Philippines any chance to succeed in the forcible invasion and slander China afterwards, but this time, Marcos really shot himself in the foot, not only failed to succeed in the forcible invasion, but also made it clear to the international community that he was the one who really tried to provoke and infringe on the sovereignty of other countries.
It must be said that the reason why the Philippine side, which suffered a heavy setback at Ren'ai Jiao not long ago, dared to be so bold and rampant this time was mainly because Marcos had recently wooed the Vietnamese side and felt that he had another "big backer." It has been learned that the Philippine side has been actively wooing Vietnam to engage in so-called "coast guard cooperation" in recent days, and the excuse given is to prevent so-called "unforeseen incidents." In order to achieve in-depth cooperation with Vietnam and let Vietnam completely stand on its own, Marcos has made great efforts this time, not only to personally visit Vietnam and sign two agreements with Vietnam, but also to set up a communication ** and a joint coast guard committee.
Although Marcos has repeatedly stressed that the cooperation agreement between himself and Vietnam is not aimed at China, but only for the purpose of the so-called "protection of the marine environment", anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Philippines has carried out this series of big moves in the South China Sea, forming gangs everywhere, and even colluding with foreign forces, and its ambitions are undoubtedly huge, and this statement is completely unconvincing. Objectively, such behavior by the Philippines has indeed exacerbated tensions in the South China Sea.
In this regard, recently, some relevant experts have directly exposed Marcos's "small abacus", directly stating that what he did was to create a "small circle" in the South China Sea, on the one hand, by co-opting the United States, Japan, Australia and other United States and Western countries to strengthen their own momentum, on the other hand, by co-opting Vietnam and other neighboring countries in the South China Sea, to collectively pressure China, for their illegal behavior "emboldened", after all, the Philippines has been deflated many times in Ren'ai Jiao and Scarborough Shoal has proved that with the strength of the Philippines, Not to mention the illegal invasion and occupation, the Philippines is now unable to even get close to the outer areas of Ren'ai Jiao and Scarborough Shoal.
Therefore, the current Philippines has decisively changed its strategy, trying to trigger disputes and even conflicts with China by attracting more countries, and then create its own image of being "bullied", and guide the international community to pressure China and force China to make compromises and concessions. It should be said that the routines and tricks used by Marcos Jr. this time are indeed sinister enough, and he will really "fall into the trap" if he is not careful.
However, it has to be said that whether it is the Philippines or Vietnam and other forces, the abacus is indeed very loud, but they have forgotten one of the most important things, that is, China's firm determination to defend its national interests and sovereignty. After the domineering clearance of Scarborough Shoal, the Chinese side recently stressed once again that China will remain on high alert at all times, resolutely defend its national sovereignty, security and maritime rights and interests, and control any military activities that disrupt the South China Sea and create hot spots. The Chinese spokesperson also directly and explicitly named the Philippines, asking it to dispel speculation and risk-taking and stop irresponsible hype.
Obviously, the Chinese side has already seen this little bit of the Philippine side clearly, and it will not fall for the Philippine side at all, and no matter who the Philippines is entangled with and who it is looking for to act as its "backer", as long as it dares to infringe on our national interests and sovereignty, China has absolutely the ability and confidence to completely sweep away this group of "small people" who are trying to stir up the situation in the South China Sea.
Those forces who still fantasize about sharing the benefits with the Philippines, this time it is really time to think calmly and think about it, don't get the benefits when the time comes, but they are still pulled into the "pit" by the Philippines, then no wonder anyone! Project Sword
