The situation in the South China Sea has been very complex in recent years, with a focal point being the frequent provocative actions of the Philippines in the South China Sea. At the instigation of the United States and its allies, the Philippines has been forcibly invading China's islands and reefs in the South China Sea in an attempt to occupy Chinese territory. Although China has demonstrated its resolute opposition to the Philippines' aggression through persuasion and actions, the Philippines seems to believe that it has the support of the United States and can do whatever it wants. However, as the Philippine side continued to carry out provocations, the Philippines** began to realize that the support of the United States was only lip service and did not give substantial help. Therefore, the recent choice of the Philippines to jointly hold a meeting of the bilateral consultation mechanism on the South China Sea issue with China does not mean that the Philippines has given up its ambition to occupy China's islands and reefs in the South China Sea. On the contrary, the Philippines has taken advantage of this opportunity to try to attract more extraterritorial forces to support their actions.
Now, Vietnam has said it wants to seize islands and reefs in the South China Sea, raising concerns about whether China will need to respond to the actions of countries such as the Philippines and Vietnam in the future. However, this is not the case. While Vietnam has always been interested in China's islands and reefs in the South China Sea, it is more cautious than the Philippines. Although Vietnam has made some inappropriate remarks, it has become more considerate of the interests of ASEAN as a whole, refusing to cooperate with the United States and the West to destabilize the South China Sea. So, for now, the Vietnamese rhetoric, while there, does not pose a serious threat.
China has been steadfast in asserting its sovereignty in the South China Sea. At the recent regular press conference, the spokesperson of China made it clear that China has undisputed sovereignty over the Xisha and Nansha Islands, and stressed that China firmly opposes any country making illegal claims to China's territory. China will continue to firmly defend its sovereignty.
The Philippines is the top priority of the current South China Sea issue, and whether it is frequently wooing foreign forces or constantly launching provocative actions, it has had an extremely negative impact on the situation in the South China Sea and posed a huge threat to China's security. Therefore, China must remain highly vigilant.
In response to the Philippine provocation, China took action as early as the beginning of last month. The Philippine Coast Guard claims to have observed a significant increase in the number of Chinese vessels at Oxbow Reef in the Spratly Islands. This shows that China does not expect the Philippines to wake up, but has made preparations in advance. Chinese ships have repositioned themselves in the South China Sea and are ready to respond to Philippine provocations. The Philippines' aggressive designs are doomed to fail.
The South China Sea issue is an extremely complex regional security issue that involves the interests and concerns of many countries. The Philippines and Vietnam have long sought to pursue their own interests by encroaching on China's islands and reefs in the South China Sea. Although the Philippines has frequently provoked, due to the false nature of U.S. support, the Philippine side's actions are ultimately merely a rhetorical show. Vietnam, by contrast, was more cautious and did not really act. China has always firmly defended its territorial sovereignty and resolutely opposed any country making illegal claims to China's territory. In the face of the Philippine provocation, China has long been prepared to respond to the Philippine side's actions at any time. No matter how complex the situation in the South China Sea is, China will continue to safeguard its own interests and regional peace and stability.
