The Philippines has brazenly provoked incidents, and China has taken resolute action after issuing a warning.
Recently, the Philippines has frequently challenged China's Scarborough Shoal and harassed Scarborough Shoal on Chinese New Year's Eve. According to the China Coast Guard, Philippine Coast Guard 9701 committed several violations in the waters near Scarborough Shoal near China between February 2 and 9. The Chinese border police did not respond to the "warning" he raised, and carried out waterway control and forced eviction in accordance with laws and regulations, and dealt with the situation on the spot in accordance with laws and regulations. China has an indisputable right to Scarborough Shoal and the surrounding waters. China's maritime patrol vessels have always insisted on carrying out maritime rights protection operations within China's jurisdiction, and have unswervingly defended their territory and interests.
Since Marcos Jr. came to power, the Philippines has constantly challenged China. On several occasions, the Chinese side sent ships to force their way into Scarborough Shoal and Ren'ai Jiao, and collided with Chinese cruisers. At the talks between the Chinese and Philippine ministers later last year, China stressed that the relations between China and the Philippines are at an important turning point and a moment of choice. The Philippines has to deal with it carefully. Since Duterte came to power, China and the Philippines have achieved good results in the South China Sea dispute. For example, China allowed the Philippines to provide the necessary daily necessities for its "beaching" on Ren'ai Jiao. However, since Marcos took office, the Philippines has been consistent with the "anti-China" policy of the United States, and has repeatedly sent ** to Ren'ai Jiao for maintenance and strengthening, in an attempt to permanently occupy the reef by transporting supplies. We must point out that the "Ren'ai Islands and Reefs" owned by China in the Spratly Islands belong to China. The point of contention is not the sovereignty of the state, but the control of power. On 9 May 1999, Philippine warships took advantage of the night to "beach" at Ren'ai Jiao, which was a major sabotage to China's territorial sovereignty and international relations. After this incident, China held serious consultations, and the Philippine side also solemnly promised that it would transport the ship away as soon as possible. In the most sincere and friendly manner, China proposed to use peaceful means to deal with the incident of the US ** boat illegally "sitting on the beach", but the Philippine side was not ashamedShame is beyond our expectations. Since the past year, the Philippines has continued to send official ships and ** to forcibly enter Ren'ai Jiao and transport building materials to the illegal ** of "beaching", with the intention of permanently occupying the reef. The Philippines is also aware of its own inadequacy, so with the help of the United States, the Marcos Jr. regime has also opened four military bases to the United States, almost twice as many as the US team can enter and exit, including three military bases facing China's Taiwan Islands. Recently, the Philippine Secretary of Defense also went to the Bataan Islands, which are only more than 200 kilometers away from Taiwan, to inspect the islands, and ordered the deployment of additional troops to strengthen the defense. Some analysts have pointed out that the Philippines intends to adapt to the US strategy of "using Taiwan to contain China," and at the same time, it is also aimed at cooperating with the US military and participating in relations across the Taiwan Strait. China's spokesman Wang Wenbin told the Philippines that China and the Philippines live next to each other, and the friendship and exchanges between the two peoples run through China and the Philippines. As neighboring countries, we should respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity and refrain from interfering in each other's internal affairs. In particular, he stressed that the Philippines should clearly see that the Taiwan issue concerns China's core interests and is a red line that cannot be crossed, and therefore the Philippine side should handle it prudently and not "play with fire" on the Taiwan issue, otherwise it will be taken advantage of by other countries and suffer for itself. This statement is also a friendly warning issued by China to the Philippine side, and it is also a kind of warning, hoping that they can be considerate and prudent in handling it, and never be betrayed by outsiders at this juncture, so as not to suffer a dumb loss.
However, the Philippines turned a deaf ear to China's friendly warnings and sent ** to carry out a "night attack" on Scarborough Shoal. China carried out four "threatening" attacks on the Philippines, including two overruns of Philippine vessels, after the Philippines claimed that the Chinese coast guard had issued warnings. In fact, it was the Filipinos who took the initiative to provoke the incident and were caught off guard by China. However, the Philippine side has always portrayed itself as a victim and distorted the facts to give the world the impression that China is bullying the weak. It can be seen from this that the Philippines does not intend to cooperate with China, but wants to push the contradictions between China and the Philippines to an even worse situation. In order to cater to the US policy of "suppressing China," the Philippines actively participated in this "struggle for hegemony," but in the end it could only become a "victim."
It is clear that in Afghanistan, Iraq and Ukraine, many countries have been pinned down and used by the United States, and have finally been dragged into the abyss. The countries that the United States once vigorously supported ended in failure. This is because the United States has never been a philanthropist, it has never been about doing justice or helping the poor, but it has sought the greatest good in regional conflicts. In the eyes of the United States, these so-called allies are nothing more than that"Chess pieces"You can use it when it's useful, and throw it away when it's not useful. Therefore, we advise the Philippines to handle this matter carefully and not to act on its own. If someone violates China's bottom line, it will be a catastrophe.
