【Editor's note】This article is authorized by the author, "Qin'an Strategy" exclusive original publication, reprinted from the public account "or Yuan Viewpoint", there are many wonderful content, welcome to pay attention.
In the recent changing world situation, the right way to have the last laugh is to maintain strategic concentration, but also to pay tactical attention to and crack all the opponent's movements.
This is what the great man said: "Strategically despise the opponent, tactically value the opponent." ”
It must be admitted that the recent tactical layout of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region and the South China Sea has been relatively successful.
Now, whether it is South Korea and Japan in East Asia, the Philippines on the South China Sea, and even Vietnam have begun to stir at the instigation of the United States.
Yesterday, I just talked about the "dishes" of the South China Sea, and sure enough, things are developing in this direction.
Latest news: When the Philippines took advantage of the exercise with the United States, in addition to trying to resupply and reinforce the warships sitting on the beach, it brazenly took a very serious provocative action of setting up buoys on our oxbow reef and other reefs.
Therefore, the South China Sea needs a tactical breakthrough ...
Photographs show that the Philippines is setting up flag-bearing buoys next to several islands and reefs near the "oxbow reef" in the South China Sea, and at least five reefs near the oxbow reef are currently set up with such yellow eye-catching buoys.
Recently, the United States is constantly amplifying the destructive and diversionary role of the Philippines, a pawn pawn in the South China Sea.
At the instigation of the United States, the Philippines has completely changed the balancing strategy adopted by the Duterte era towards China and the United States, and has begun to strategically tilt towards the United States.
The Philippines' recent provocations can be described as "walking on two legs."
"One leg" is to cooperate with the United States to contain China on the Taiwan Strait issue.
The Philippines first opened four new bases to the United States, bringing the number of U.S. military bases in the Philippines to as many as nine. And the three bases are in the northern Philippines, and the ambition to help the United States intervene in the Taiwan Strait is clear.
On May 12, the Philippines sent lawmakers to visit Taiwan, claiming to support the Taiwan authorities on Taiwan's application to join the World Health Assembly (WHA).
The other "leg" is to wade directly into the South China Sea at the instigation of the United States.
On May 10, the Philippines attempted to complete de facto control of Ren'ai Reef by reinforcing its beaching warships.
Although it has not been successfully prevented by the cooperation of our coast guard and fishing boats, it is still necessary to prevent new tricks with the support of the US military.
The Philippines' provocations in the South China Sea are much more than that, and this time it has tried to achieve a status quo of "de facto occupation" by setting buoys on islands and reefs.
It's daredevil.
Oxbow Reef belongs to the "Nine Chapters of Reefs" in the South China Sea, and its location in the South China Sea is more important, just between Mischief Reef and Fiery Cross Reef.
If the Philippines controls the Jiuzhang Reef, it will be tantamount to driving a nail in the middle of our Great Triangle Islands and reefs in the South China Sea, Subi Reef, Mischief Reef and Fiery Cross Reef.
We would never tolerate such a thing.
What is even more inexcusable about the Philippines is its deception.
When the Philippines agreed to add four new military bases to the United States, it promised not to allow these bases to be used to intervene in the Taiwan Strait issue.
But apparently after Marcos' visit to the United States, he began to change his face.
According to the BBC, Marcos said in an interview with Reuters after his visit to the United States: "The United States has not asked the Philippines to participate in any defense of Taiwan, or other alternative actions, but these military bases will prove useful to us if something terrible happens."
Therefore, even Reuters found its inconsistent statements regarding the use of Philippine bases by US troops.
Now, in connection with the fact that the Philippines brazenly and unilaterally set up buoys with the meaning of "sovereignty" on our oxbow reef without authorization, the Philippines' words and lack of trust have been completely confirmed.
So the Philippines is now clearly willing to act as a pawn of the United States.
And completely reduced to the geostrategic thugs of the United States.
But the Philippines may not know that the gunman will die under the gun, and the thug will be beaten underground.
Now judging from the situation in the South China Sea, the Philippines has fully engaged itself in the process of the United States building a new round of sewing up the shredded first and second island chains, and the Philippines' "clown jump" constitutes an important part of the US strategy in the South China Sea.
Judging from the recent series of actions of the Philippines, it is obviously not something that it dares to decide.
But no matter what purpose or "encouragement" it has set off this provocative climax, then it must have to pay a painful price for it.
We believe that these buoys in the Philippines will not "float" for long.
Latest announcements by maritime authorities:
The Guangdong Maritime Safety Bureau issued a navigation warning that military training in some waters of the South China Sea from May 15 to 17 was prohibited.
The Dalian Maritime Safety Bureau issued a navigation warning that military missions in the northern part of the Yellow Sea in the Bohai Strait from May 14 to May 21 were prohibited from sailing.
Since the Philippines has taken the initiative to make the "dish" of the East, it is also a good choice to choose to open a table in the South China Sea.
