A few days ago, Philippine Ambassador to the United States Romualdez declared that the South China Sea is the real "flashpoint", and called on "like-minded" allies in the US camp to curb China's use of force to suppress others. He also said that the United States has agreed to conduct a 17 trillion pesos in aid to counter China's "economic coercion".
According to the usual style of the United States, this money is obviously only a verbal promise, and it is impossible to put it in place in a short time, but the Philippines is now on the opposite side of China, and the promise of the United States is the most direct support.
Philippines: Talking about money hurts feelings, and the eldest brother just recognizes the younger brother.
In fact, the United States is also out of tricks, otherwise how could it send money to the Philippines with its indefatigable temperament? The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is one-sided, and the turmoil in the Middle East has also dragged the United States deeper and deeper, after three nuclear-powered aircraft carriers came to the peninsula to show off their might and left after a circle, and there is only one conventionally deployed aircraft carrier strike group left in the Asia-Pacific region.
Although the Philippines continues to follow US orders to stir up trouble in the South China Sea, and has targeted Scarborough Shoal when it cannot force its way into Ren'ai Jiao, the Philippines itself knows that these moves will not succeed except to distract China.
Biden has grappled over the past two months with Trump and his party disputes, and his support for Israel has plummeted, making concessions on many Security Council issues and calling on Netanyahu to quickly broker a temporary ceasefire. In this regard, the Philippines is also a little weak-minded, afraid that the United States will pick on it and quit, and now it has completely offended China.
As a result, after the United States divided its energy to appease the Philippines, Romualdez immediately called out to Australia, Japan, South Korea and other American allies in the Asia-Pacific region, and those chicken feathers were used as arrows to tie them to the chariot of the Philippines against China.
In particular, Australia, the Philippines Marcos Jr. recently visited the country, during which he shouted that he would resolutely "defend national sovereignty" and never allow any foreign forces to occupy the "territory" of the Philippines.
In addition, Marcos Jr. reversed black and white, claiming that the deployment of Chinese ships in the South China Sea and the increasing number of cyber attacks on Philippine ships in recent years are worrying, but this does not stop the Philippines from defending its "territorial waters".
It must be emphasized that Marcos Jr.'s absurd remarks based on the so-called "South China Sea Arbitration Case" are political manipulation jointly carried out by the United States and the Philippines, and the award is illegal and invalid, and China does not accept or recognize the award, nor does it accept any claims and actions based on the award.
Both Ren'ai Jiao and Scarborough Shoal are China's inherent territory, and the Philippines is the one that wants to occupy it, and it has no hard power of its own, and it still acts as a "leading party" to bring in the United States and the West and other countries outside the region to meddle in regional affairs.
Marcos Jr. gave an "impassioned" speech in Australia, and the intention to win over was very obvious. However, he miscalculated, Australia turned to China because of economic problems, and invited our foreign minister to visit Australia this month.
The Philippines' ASEAN, to which the Philippines belongs, does not support the Philippines' actions to stir up the South China Sea at all, and has repeatedly warned that the Philippines' ambition to continue to stir up the situation in the South China Sea under the guise of the United States will not succeed.
Of course, we can't let the Philippines smear us, and the spokesperson of our embassy in the Philippines made a clear counterattack, and it came up with a few rhetorical questions: Who keeps stirring up the situation in the South China Sea? Who keeps spreading the "China threat theory"? Who is the gang to engage in camp confrontation? Who invented "economic coercion"? Our spokesman doesn't even need to answer these questions in detail, and the outside world knows what is going on.
It is worth mentioning that in response to the Philippines' continuous attacks and harassment by sending ships, the spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense of China also made it clear that China has indisputable sovereignty over Scarborough Shoal and its adjacent waters, and will stand ready for any provocative acts and resolutely fight back to defend China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
In other words, the territory that belongs to China cannot be snatched away by countries with bad intentions, so if you have the courage, come and try it! List of high-quality authors
