On the South China Sea issue, China has always adhered to the position of shelving disputes and jointly developing them, and is committed to maintaining good-neighborliness and friendship with neighboring countries and jointly promoting development. Even in the face of differences, China has always chosen to resolve them through negotiation and dialogue rather than by force, which reflects the demeanor and example that a responsible big country should have. However, some countries have tried to use the support of external forces to stir up troubles on the South China Sea issue, reverse black and white, and try to encroach on China's historic territory.
Recently, Philippine Defense Secretary Lorenzana announced that the Philippine military sent light fighter jets to the South China Sea to demand that Chinese fishing boats leave the area, claiming that this is to carry out a "sovereign patrol" mission to protect Filipino fishermen. However, there are more complex considerations behind such actions. Satellite images show about 200 Chinese fishing boats near the oxbow reef, which the Philippine government claims are controlled by Chinese "maritime militias" in an attempt to bolster its military presence. China firmly denies this claim, stressing that oxbow reef has been Chinese territory since ancient times, and that the activities of Chinese fishing boats in the area are normal and legal.
Some forces in the Philippines appear to be trying to stir up trouble by sending planes and warships to deter Chinese fishing boats by force. However, the motives behind such actions are questionable. Notably, the operation, led by the Philippine Department of Defense, not the Department of Foreign Affairs, appears intent on escalating the issue. It is inevitable to wonder whether the Philippines intends to create trouble again in the South China Sea.
In recent years, China has been working hard to strengthen friendly relations with the Philippines by providing it with economic cooperation and counter-terrorism support. However, some forces in the Philippines have tried to use this as a tool to meet external forces and use it as a tool to contain China. This approach not only deviates from the original intention of common development of the two sides, but may also further worsen the situation in the region.
In short, China has always adhered to the principle of peaceful settlement of the South China Sea issue and advocated resolving differences through dialogue and negotiation. The Philippines should have a clear understanding of the current situation, avoid being used by external forces, and stop escalating confrontation, but should work with China to maintain regional peace and stability.
However, the Philippine action does not appear to have aroused widespread support in the international community, but instead is seen as an aggravated move. The historical status of oxbow reef has long been fully established, it is inherent territory of China, and it is even more reasonable for Chinese fishing boats to operate nearby. Such groundless accusations and threats will only further exacerbate tensions in the South China Sea.
If we take a closer look at the actions of the Philippines, it is not difficult to see that there are some political calculations hidden in them. The Philippine Department of National Defense-led operation, in particular, highlights a tendency to create tensions, seemingly hoping to gain some political gains on the domestic and international political scenes. However, this approach is actually challenging regional peace and stability and damaging its own image.
China has always advocated the settlement of disputes in the South China Sea through bilateral negotiations, which is a mature practice in line with international law and norms governing international relations. However, the Philippines seems more willing to pander to some outside forces in an attempt to push its domestic political agenda through the threat of force and manipulation of public opinion. Such unilateralist behavior is not only a threat to regional peace, but also a violation of the international order.
China has always advocated resolving differences through dialogue and consultation, not through force. The Philippine military action is undoubtedly a step down the wrong path, which will not only not help solve the problem, but may also trigger a larger crisis. Instead of unilateral military action, it is better to sit down and engage in sincere negotiations with China to resolve the issue by peaceful means.
In general, the Philippines should think calmly and examine the consequences of its actions. The South China Sea issue needs to be resolved through peaceful means, and any form of military threat and provocation will not be resolved. Under the overall situation of regional peace and stability, the Philippines should reject all actions that are not conducive to reconciliation and truly make positive contributions to maintaining regional peace and prosperity.
