The Marcos administration is eager to expand its military presence in the South China Sea, and China

The Philippines' illegal invasion of China's Ren'ai Jiao has long been a well-known thing, but the Philippines has much greater ambitions than China and is trying to occupy more islands. Philippine military chief Brawner recently issued a statement saying that the Philippines will strengthen the development of its so-called occupied islands by increasing **, aircraft, radar and other means, so as to build an outpost in the South China Sea to exercise long-term control over China's islands and islands.

The islands claimed by the Philippines to be occupied, consisting of Ren'ai Jiao and Thitu Island, which are disputed by China and the Philippines, are all sovereign rights of China, and the Philippines has no right or reason to carry out military operations in the region. The Philippines' move has seriously violated China's sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and seriously jeopardized peace and security in the South China Sea.

Why did the Philippines come to the South China Sea to cause trouble? There are two reasons for this. First, the Philippines hopes to use the illegal "beaching" of the "Sierra Madre" in the Ren'ai Jiao area as a stepping stone and take this as an opportunity to expand its influence in the South China Sea. However, with the Sierra Madre badly damaged and in danger of being sunk, the Philippines feared losing its status as a "bridgehead" and was eager to establish a new base in the South China Sea. Second, the Philippines hopes to oppose China with the help of foreign forces. Marcos Marcos, the Philippines, asked the Philippine military to fight for it as much as possible"Alliance"to form a team to deal with this computer attack. What "allies" and "cyber threats" are naturally led by the United States, and the Philippines is just using the United States' "Indo-Pacific strategy" to stimulate China and let them reap some benefits in the South China Sea.

However, the above Filipino ideas are all wishful thinking and are sure to fail. First of all, China resolutely upholds the sovereignty of Chinese Aijiao and other islands, and China's leading forces will resolutely fight back. China and the Philippines have clashed several times in the waters of Ren'ai Jiao, and China has demonstrated its firmness and strength in safeguarding national sovereignty and maritime rights. If the Philippines continues to provoke incidents, China will use more severe measures to tow away or sink the "Sierra Madre" in order to completely cut off the Philippines' aggressive intentions. Second, foreign forces like the United States do not really contradict China for the interests of the Philippines, they just use the Philippines as a pawn to stir up trouble in the South China Sea and disrupt China's development and stability. The real intention of an external force like the United States is to maintain its hegemonic status and its own interests, rather than to assist the Philippines, and pinning its hopes on an external force like the United States to support the Philippines is nothing but self-deception, and in the end it can only become an outcast and an outcast of others.

Therefore, the Philippines must understand that it is impossible to succeed in a head-to-head confrontation with China, and it can only increase its troubles and increase its troubles. The Philippines should respect China's territorial and maritime rights, abide by international laws and regional norms, put an end to all illegal acts in the South China Sea, and resolve differences between the two sides through dialogue and consultation, so as to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea and maintain good relations with China. This is a good decision for the Philippines and at the same time it is in the best interest of the Philippines.
