Recently, the South China Sea has once again become a hot topic. This vast sea area always seems to attract the attention of neighboring countries, triggering round after round of disputes. Against this backdrop, China and ASEAN countries are actively promoting the formulation of a code of conduct in the South China Sea to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea. However, the Philippines has issued a series of provocative statements and actions at this time, which have attracted the attention of the outside world.
The South China Sea issue has become a complex geopolitical challenge, and the Philippines and Japan are strengthening their alliance and should engage in trilateral cooperation with the United States, Marcos said. Such a move will undoubtedly increase tensions in the region and may even trigger the ** of other countries.
At the same time, former Duterte in the Philippines launched a strong attack on his incumbent Marcos at the rally, and even raised the possibility of driving him out. This highlights the depth between the two. Duterte said at the rally that Marcos had been included in the list of suspected drug users by Philippine law enforcement. However, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency then said that Marcos had never been included in such a list, contrary to Duterte's claims.
This internal dispute has undoubtedly added more uncertainty to the South China Sea issue. Philippine leaders are divided over the South China Sea, making the Philippines' role in regional affairs increasingly blurred. For the Philippines, it is clearly more urgent to resolve internal contradictions and maintain national unity than to take a tough stance on the South China Sea issue.
Against the backdrop of China and ASEAN countries' aggressive promotion of a code of conduct in the South China Sea, the Philippines' move will undoubtedly attract attention from the outside world. We hope that the Philippines will act prudently and actively cooperate with regional countries to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea. At the same time, we also hope that the Philippines will be able to resolve internal disputes and contribute to national development and regional peace.
Behind the turmoil in the South China Sea and the internal strife in the Philippines, we see the fragility of a country in the face of geopolitical challenges. Let us work together to eliminate political strife and contribute to peace and prosperity in the region. Only in this way can the South China Sea become a bond of friendship between countries, rather than a powder keg for conflict.
In this complex world, all countries should work together to maintain regional peace and stability. Let us look forward to a more harmonious and prosperous South China Sea, and work together for a hopeful future.
