On January 27, the China Coast Guard issued a statement stating China's position on the Philippines' recent illegal "law enforcement" incident at Ren'ai Jiao in the South China Sea. The statement said that the Chinese side has made temporary special arrangements for the Philippine side's supplies. However, the Philippine side has distorted the facts in an attempt to create international public opinion pressure on China, which is not conducive to easing tensions in the South China Sea.
Earlier, a Philippine Coast Guard plane suddenly intruded into the airspace near Ren'ai Jiao in the South China Sea and delivered supplies to a Philippine Navy ship that was illegally "beached" at Ren'ai Jiao. The Chinese side grasped this in real time and allowed the delivery of some daily necessities after making a weighed account. However, the Philippine side has distorted the facts and hyped up "law enforcement actions" in an attempt to create the false impression that China is "obstructing the normal supply of supplies from the Philippines".
Experts pointed out that this was another political show by the Philippine side. As early as mid-January, during the meeting of the China-Philippines Consultative Mechanism on the South China Sea issue, the Philippine side ostensibly agreed to "properly manage the contradictions between the two sides on the spot", but immediately tore up its commitments and created new incidents. "The Philippines is deliberately smearing China on the international stage and creating pressure from public opinion. ”
So, what is the purpose of the Philippine side's distortion of the facts? According to the analysis, the Philippine side is trying to use hype to attract foreign forces to intervene, gain more support, and force China to relax its control over Ren'ai Jiao. In fact, based on the spirit of humanitarianism, China allowed Philippine warships to only carry essential daily necessities. However, the Philippine side ignored this goodwill and tried to take advantage of the opportunity to transport building materials and other materials in large quantities to strengthen the stronghold.
In the face of the Philippines' political calculations, China has stated that it will continue to strengthen rights protection and law enforcement in relevant waters and resolutely defend national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. "This is a warning to the Philippine side that China will not back down. The expert pointed out truthfully. Indeed, China has always taken a firm stand on issues concerning its sovereign interests.
We must also be soberly aware that the Philippines is backed by the support of the United States. This has emboldened the Philippine side to continue to provoke. Therefore, the key to truly resolving the South China Sea issue is to cut off the black hand of the United States. In addition, the recent warming of Sino-Indian relations, but the acceleration of military cooperation between India and the Philippines also deserves our close attention.
