Recently, the world's attention has focused on the news that the Chinese Navy's Qi Jiguang ship has arrived in the Philippines for the first time. This historic visit marks the further strengthening of friendly relations between the two countries and has also attracted widespread attention in the international arena. However, just as people were immersed in this happy news, another worrying news came that the Philippine ship limit near Second Thomas Jiao was approaching, casting a shadow over the whole incident.
The arrival of Qi Jiguang became the headlines of the world media for a while. In the port of Manila, the Qi Jiguang flew the national flags of the People's Republic of China and the Philippines and conducted a joint exercise with Philippine ships, demonstrating the tacit cooperation between the navies of the two countries. Behind this magnificent scene was the warm welcome of more than 300 overseas Chinese, Chinese and representatives from all walks of life in the Philippines, as well as the presence of the Chinese ambassador to the Philippines, demonstrating the profound friendly relations between the two countries.
At the same time, the Philippine side also organized a grand welcome ceremony for the visit of the ship Qi Jiguang, including the ship's open day and reception. This friendly visit has been highly praised by all walks of life and is regarded as a new milestone in Sino-Philippine relations. However, just when everything seems to be going well, the issue of Second Thomas Reef has resurfaced, raising fears that it may become a litmus test of the Philippine government's sincere will.
More than two decades ago, the Philippine ship Sierra Madre ran aground at Second Thomas Reef and is now an abandoned ship. However, the recent release of the Procedural Regulations for Handling Criminal Cases by Coast Guard Agencies has raised concerns because it clearly defines how the coast guard handles crimes involving foreign personnel. The news raises the question of whether the once stranded Philippine ship will face the fate of being towed.
According to the regulation, it will be officially implemented in mid-June, sparking speculation about the fate of the Sierra Madre vessel. Although the broken ship has not been moved for years, the Chinese are still able to tow it away. However, whatever the outcome, the ownership of Second Thomas Reef will not change as a result, and this issue has become a difficult problem for the Philippine government to develop bilateral relations with China.
China has always advocated the settlement of disputes in the South China Sea through peaceful communication, and has proposed the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea, which has been recognized by most countries. Against this backdrop, how the Philippine government will deal with the Sierra Madre vessel will be a critical moment to test its sincere cooperation in its relations with China. After all, the responsibility for towing the ship should not fall on China's shoulders, but on the decisions of the Philippine government.
In short, Qi Jiguang's friendly visit marks the deepening of the friendship between China and the Philippines, but at the same time, the issue of Ren'ai Jiao also needs to be handled carefully. The final settlement of this issue will not only affect the relationship between the two countries, but may also have an important impact on the situation in the South China Sea. It is hoped that the Philippine government will properly handle this complex issue in a responsible manner and promote bilateral relations towards a more stable and prosperous future.
