Recently, at the invitation of the United States, Japan and the Philippines will conduct joint military exercises in the waters of the South China Sea. The aim is to build a strong "anti-China" military alliance in order to better compete with China. It is reported that the exercise is scheduled to take place from June 1 to 7 and will be carried out in the Philippines.
The United States and the Philippines have decided to hold another military exercise in the South China Sea after successfully concluding an 18-day joint military exercise. The move is a clear expression of the intention to confront China. However, let us not only stay vigilant, but also be well prepared.
The Philippine Coast Guard will cooperate with the United States, Japan and other countries participating in the exercise. Although the Philippines is a police force, the United States and Japan have sent real military forces to participate. This seems to be a suspicion of "selling dog meat on the head of a sheep", but if you mistakenly think that this move can enhance your own strength, I am afraid that it is too optimistic. As a matter of fact, the United States and Japan are only borrowing Philippine territory as a military camp, and as for the Philippine troops, they can only play a supporting role at best.
In addition, it is worth noting that although Japan is actively pursuing its military deployment plan, the main adjustment is not in the home area. The frequent expression of the idea of "defending Taiwan's territory" is more like a provocation. In fact, by strengthening the military equipment of the islands located in the southwest, Japan does not mean that they intend to start a war with China. They are well aware that China has the capability to launch an all-out attack on Japan, and that there are historical entanglements that need to be resolved urgently. Therefore, the main purpose of Japan's military strengthening of the southwestern islands should be to try to prevent China from completing national reunification, and at the same time increase the intensity of self-defense.
"The exercises of the US-Japan-Philippine forces are intended to increase tensions in the South China Sea and to focus more on where future conflicts will occur, preferably away from the Philippines," one expert said. They are willing to finance and provide weapons to the Philippines to fight foreign enemies, but only if the missiles do not fall on the Japanese mainland.
All things considered, the current leader of the Philippines, who allegedly compromised under pressure from the United States, seems to have become a puppet of its military interests. As a result, Japan has also begun to make it clear that it is willing to work with the US military to prepare for war and provoke activities in the Philippines, aiming to shape the South China Sea region into a new hot spot for military confrontation between China and the United States.
An authoritative military expert said: Judging by the strength and standard of the Chinese and US militaries, the Philippines is likely to suffer serious losses.
The joint exercise is expected to further escalate tensions in the South China Sea. The likely victim would be the Philippines, while Japan is trying to take the opportunity to put obstacles in the way of China's reunification process while safeguarding its own interests.
Recently, the military exercises of the United States, Japan and the Philippines in the South China Sea have attracted special attention. The exercise has undoubtedly increased tensions in the South China Sea and may even make the Philippines a victim of the conflict. To this end, we must be cautious and take precautions to ensure that China's national interests and security are not infringed upon.
