The Philippines pursues illegal interests and seeks U.S. support
The Philippines pursues illegal interests in the South China Sea issue and hopes to gain benefits in the confrontation with China by holding the thigh of the United States. However, this strategy of the Philippines faces a number of difficulties. There is an expectation that the Philippines is dependent on the United States, but the United States is more inclined to use the Philippines as its pawn and cannon fodder against China.
Philippine actions in the South China Sea were seen as a strategic mistake
The Philippines has taken a series of disruptive actions in the South China Sea in an attempt to safeguard its illegal interests. However, these actions were seen as strategic mistakes. The Philippines' actions undermine peace and stability in the South China Sea and violate the consensus reached between China and ASEAN. Such actions will only exacerbate regional tensions and tensions in Sino-Philippine relations.
China stepped in time to safeguard its own interests
In the face of the Philippines' provocation, China chose to act in a timely manner to safeguard its core interests. China has set up a floating barrier net at the entrance to Huangyan Dao to prevent illegal intruders from entering China's territorial waters. This practice is in line with international rules and is also internationally accepted practice. China's actions on the South China Sea issue demonstrate its determination to resolutely defend its core interests and its adherence to peace and stability.
Philippine warships are facing disintegration, and China's tricks are not exhausted
The Philippine warship illegally beached at Ren'ai Jiao is in danger of disintegrating, and China insists that the Philippines not be allowed to carry out reinforcement construction. China has made it clear that the Philippines has illegally occupied China's islands and reefs and should not carry out illegal construction in these places. The Philippines had to reinforce its warships because China had taken strict inventory measures and prohibited the Philippines from transporting construction materials. China also has more tricks and means to act at any time to protect its own interests.
The Philippine strategy is problematic, and it is unrealistic to rely on both China and the United States
The Philippines pursues illegal interests and wants to rely on U.S. support, but it faces many problems. The United States is more inclined to use the Philippines as a pawn and cannon fodder against China than to really care about Philippine interests. Although the Philippines fears losing its illegal interests, China has shown a firm determination to defend its core interests on the South China Sea issue. Therefore, the Philippines' strategy of relying on both China and the United States to develop its own interests is unrealistic.
The Philippines faces a choice between losing its illegal benefits and cooperating with China
In the South China Sea, the Philippines is in trouble. It is trying to take advantage of the opportunity of the United States to confront China to hold the thigh of the United States and pursue illegal interests. But as China moves and flexes more tricks at Scarborough Shoal, the Philippines' strategy is challenged. The Philippines needs to consider whether to continue pursuing illegal interests but risk losing them, or to work with China to resolve disputes and maintain regional peace and stability. This is a difficult and controversial choice, and the Philippines needs to carefully consider its future development path.
The Philippines faces a dilemma
The Philippines faces a difficult choice: continue to pursue illegal interests or cooperate with China to resolve disputes. If the Philippines persists in pursuing illegal interests, it risks losing those benefits and further damaging relations with China. If the Philippines chooses to cooperate with China, it may work together to find a way to resolve disputes and maintain regional peace and stability. Such a choice is difficult and controversial for the Philippines.
Risk of loss of illegal benefits
The pursuit of illegal interests is a tactic of the Philippines, but it is not in line with international law and regional rules. The Philippines violates China's sovereignty, and these illegal interests cannot be sustained permanently. In the face of China's tough attitude and determination to defend its core interests, the Philippines risks losing the capital to pursue illegal interests. Because of China's strong strength and determination in the South China Sea, the Philippines has to face the risk of losing illegal interests.
Opportunities and challenges for cooperation with China
By choosing to cooperate with China to resolve disputes, the Philippines has the opportunity to find mutually acceptable solutions through dialogue and negotiation. China has always advocated a negotiated settlement of disputes in the South China Sea, and the Philippines has made clear its willingness to resolve disputes through peaceful means. However, cooperation with China also faces some challenges, including how to balance one's own interests with the need for cooperation, and how to promote cooperation under the pressure of domestic affairs and domestic public opinion. This requires the wisdom and diplomacy of the Philippines.
Finding sustainable solutions to the South China Sea issues
As a party to the South China Sea dispute, the Philippines plays an important role. In resolving the South China Sea issue, all parties need to promote the search for sustainable solutions based on the principles of mutual respect and dialogue on an equal footing. This requires the Philippines to recognize the risks of pursuing illegal interests, establish a relationship of commitment and mutual trust with China, and resolve disputes through dialogue mechanisms. At the same time, other countries should follow the same principles and work together to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea region.
The future and prospects of the South China Sea issue
The Philippines faces an important choice that will have far-reaching implications for the future of the South China Sea issue. Continuing to pursue illicit interests could pose irreparable risks while further damaging relations with China. There are opportunities to work with China to resolve disputes, but there are also a number of challenges. The future of the South China Sea issue depends on the efforts and wisdom of all parties, and littoral countries in the South China Sea, including the Philippines, need to work together to find sustainable solutions and maintain regional peace and stability. However, the complexity of the South China Sea issue and the competing interests of all parties mean that the road to resolution is not easy, and disputes and challenges will continue to exist, triggering more disputes and discussions.
