The new Philippine president, Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos, must have caused some headaches for the United States, and the Philippine president, who will officially take office in late June, has shown a more radical pro-China tendency than "pro-China President" Duterte, which has disappointed the United States, which has a mind to engage in an "Indo-Pacific strategy" to contain China's development. It should be known that the Philippines is an "ally" of the United States, and the United States hopes to focus on anti-China objects in Southeast Asia, and a pro-China Philippine president is not in line with the interests and needs of the United States.
The current president, Duterte, is a pro-China president who has adopted a pragmatic attitude in the Sino-US game and won China's support and respect. President-designate Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos has deeper feelings for China, and some Western media have even called Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos's election victory, which may be "China's victory."
Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos is affectionately known in China as Little Marcos because his father, who was also the president of the Philippines, was also called Marcos. This is the same as US President Bush Sr. and George W. Bush Jr. Marcos Jr.'s deputy, the successful vice president Sarah Duterte is also pro-China, inheriting the pro-China tradition of her father, President Duterte, many media interpret that the new leadership team of the Philippines has laid the tone of bilateral relations and friendship for The next 12 years of Sino-Philippine relations, the United States deliberately built to encircle China's walls, and the Philippines has become a part of the "defense-breaking".
Based on the reports of various media, President Marcos Jr. made pro-China remarks:
First, President Marcos Jr. said that philippine-China relations will be "elevated to a higher level", which means that he will continue Duterte's pro-China pragmatic line and build on the previous president to bring China-Philippines relations to a new level. This tone lays a good foundation for China-Philippines relations;
Second, President Marcos Jr. stated that the Philippines under his leadership would pursue an "independent foreign policy" and would not seek help from the United States even if it had differences with China. Originally, the United States wanted to use the Sino-Philippine South China Sea dispute to stir up Sino-Philippine relations, but Marcos Jr.'s statement rejected the United States thousands of miles away, and it seems that it is difficult to be a provocateur, and it is even more difficult to treat the Philippines as an anti-China pawn.
Third, President Marcos Jr. stated that the ruling in the so-called "South China Sea Arbitration Case" was "invalid" because China did not accept the so-called "award." It takes a lot of courage to make such a statement as the president of a country. Since the ruling in the South China Sea Arbitration Case was invalid, President Marcos Jr. is committed to reaching a bilateral agreement with China to resolve the issue and believes that "war is not an option." Any attempt to provoke war between Central Africa and Central Africa has thus failed.
Fourth, President Marcos Jr. called the contradictions between China and the Philippines "petty differences" and believed that no matter what conflicts or difficulties there were between the two countries, they must not be allowed to have any historical significance. In the words of ordinary people, Little Marcos showed a kind of generosity that requires China and the Philippines to never "remember revenge", forget the unhappiness, and pursue the beauty of China and the Philippines.
Fifth, President Marcos Jr. is committed to expanding China-Philippine relations, not only in the diplomatic and trade fields, but also in the fields of culture, education, knowledge and health. President Marcos Jr. has great ambitions to comprehensively expand relations with China, make China-Philippines relations closer, and ride on the express train of China's development.
Why did President Marcos Jr. say that he was so close to China before he took office? Speaking of which, it is still Chairman Mao's old man's well-laid foundation. I think that when Marcos Jr. was president, he sent his wife Immel to Visit China, and it was September 1974 that Chairman Mao, who was seriously ill, received Imelda with an illness and kissed Imelda, which became a lifelong memory of Imelda. When Little Marcos visited China with his mother, he was also received by Chairman Mao and performed a hug and veneer ceremony with Chairman Mao. Because of this meeting, Imelda learned to sing a song in Chinese called "I Love Beijing Tiananmen." Now that Imelda is 90 years old, still alive, and still sings "I Love Beijing Tiananmen", with this origin, can Little Marcos not love China and devote himself to Sino-Philippine friendship?
President Marcos Jr. will officially assume the presidency of the Philippines in late June 2022, but the United States will not easily indulge Sino-Philippine friendship, and it remains to be seen whether President Marcos Jr. can meet between China and the United States like Duterte and handle bilateral relations between the three countries in a pragmatic manner. Although the United States has tried every means to encircle China, there is always a "defense-breaking point", the key lies in China's principles and policies are beneficial to world peace and development, China is the largest trading partner of more than 120 countries, China has never invaded or colonized any country's ambitions, such a country like the "god of wealth", the United States wants to be isolated on charges, how can it be so easy? The United States forcibly "plays hooligans", sometimes it will be angry, and even its subordinates will sometimes be unable to see it.
