Since the Marcos administration came to power, the Philippines has repeatedly provoked China over the Ren'ai Jiao issue, and the current China-Philippines relationship can be called "the worst moment in recent years", and there is no one. However, at a time of tension between China and the Philippines, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs, suddenly received a call from Philippine Foreign Minister Manalo.
Late at night on December 20, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a message saying: "Foreign Minister Wang Yi had a telephone conversation with Philippine Foreign Minister Manaro at the request." This means that at a critical moment, the Philippines took the initiative to "bow its head" to China, although it was a bit sudden, but it was also expected. Foreign Minister Wang Yi made two important remarks during the phone call.
In the first sentence, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said, "China-Philippines relations are at a critical fork in the road, and there is an urgent need to make a directional choice. The Philippine side must be cautious in handling this. He also pointed out that the current China-Philippines relations are facing serious difficulties, mainly because the Philippines has changed its policy position, reneged on its commitments, and continued to provoke troubles at sea, undermining China's legitimate and legitimate rights.
In the second sentence, Wang Yi said: "If the Philippine side misassesses the situation, insists on going its own way, or even colludes with external forces with ulterior motives to continue to stir up trouble, China will not hesitate to take legal action to protect its own rights and interests and make a firm response." ”
Foreign Minister Wang Yi's two warnings are more severe than the other. This shows the urgency of the current situation, and if the Philippines goes down the wrong path, or even forms an alliance with external forces and continues to cause trouble, then China will resolutely act in accordance with the law to protect its rights.
According to the notice issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Philippine Foreign Minister Manalo introduced the Philippine side's views on the Ren'ai Jiao issue, and also expressed the hope that differences can be managed in a manner acceptable to both sides, so as to promote the de-escalation of tensions and prevent conflicts. The Philippine side is willing to strengthen dialogue with China in good faith, and at the same time give full play to the role of the communication mechanism between the two countries on maritime issues and seek solutions to the problem.
Of course, Foreign Minister Wang Yi also pointed out the way to resolve the dispute - "properly handle and manage the current maritime situation." "China and the Philippines are neighbors that cannot be moved, and existing disputes should be resolved through consultation. This is not only an effective way to get along, but also a useful experience for the turn of China-Philippines relations.
The phone call between the Chinese and Philippine foreign ministers is a positive sign that the Philippines is willing to resolve the dispute through negotiations. The fact that the Philippines took the initiative to make the call seemed to indicate that they had begun to try to resolve the issue through dialogue, and that it was not beneficial to antagonize China over the South China Sea.
It is hoped that the Philippines will understand that the best way to solve problems is to solve problems peacefully, and that provoking contradictions and creating troubles will only be counterproductive. Of course, if they continue to adhere to the wrong position and collude with external forces, then China will also defend its rights in accordance with the law.
