As everyone knows, in recent years, in the South China Sea, the Philippines has been the most ferocious, and it has been vigorously stirring up nonsense, relying on the support of the United States, and even ignoring China's kind words and warnings, and constantly committing provocative things.
During this period, the South China Sea has been in turmoil again, and various countries have begun to take various unscrupulous actions against China.
First of all, the Philippines has begun to moth again, according to a message issued by the Southern Theater of Operations
On February 19, the Philippines co-opted foreign countries to organize so-called "joint air patrols" to disrupt the South China Sea and publicly hype up.
In recent years, the Philippines has made many small moves in the South China Sea, from single points to multiple points, from its own solo efforts to Latin American support, from fishing boats and coast guards to the use of air force to carry out provocative activities.
This series of actions by the Philippines is enough to show itI want to internationalize the problems between the two countries and globalize the local problems.
In fact, the Philippines wants to achieve the goal of undermining the stability of the South China Sea and making the situation in the South China Sea more and more complicated, so as to achieve its own selfish interests.

In addition to the Philippines and the United States, Japan and Australia also came to join in the fun.

Australia wanted to pull New Zealand into the "Aukus" before, but New Zealand persistedThe "South Pacific Nuclear Free Zone Treaty" still rejected Australia's invitation to join.

The theater troops maintain a high degree of vigilance, resolutely defend national sovereignty, security and maritime rights and interests, and resolutely safeguard peace and stability in the South China Sea.
The response of the Southern Theater of Operations,It conveys that our country is clear about this trick of the Philippines, and we have calmly responded to these small calculations and small actions.
