Recently, the Philippines has been involved in the South China Sea in various places, including illegally landing on the Iron Wire Reef under the pretext of scientific research and research, and trespassing on Ren'ai Jiao under the pretext of transporting supplies. The Chinese Coast Guard also responded professionally, including hovering helicopters over the reef and the strong winds generated by the rotors directly making it impossible for Filipinos to stand on the reef. As for the Philippine ships transporting construction materials, the Chinese coast guard used water cannons to drive them away, and the Philippine side could only raise a white flag and beg for mercy.
And after some provocation, the Philippines began to hype up with the Western reporters on board, pretending to be victims, and the Marcos government also pretended to be the head. Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos said in a small post on social platforms that the Philippines has sought the help of allies and partners, and in the next few weeks, relevant government agencies and departments will formulate plans for open, continuous, illegal, coercive and aggressive attacks, and Chinese coast guard and Chinese maritime militia agents will be held accountable for this, and Filipinos will not give in.
Subsequently, the Philippine government also issued an official statement, accusing China of being isolated by the rest of the world, and saying that China is incapable of conducting open, transparent and legitimate negotiations, saying that we know how to intimidate small countries, and then repeatedly emphasized that "the Filipinos will not give in", looking like they are about to declare war, but this writing really does not dare to compliment, like a primary school student after school. In the interview, Marcos also stressed again that he would take "proportionate" countermeasures in response to the "attack" of the Chinese coast guard. The Philippines has been so provocative all day long to force China to intervene and give the United States a reason to strengthen its military presence in the South China Sea.
Sure enough, after the Philippines finished pretending to be victims, it began to attract allies such as the United States and Japan to the South China Sea. Recently, U.S. President Joe Biden, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos held their first trilateral summit. At that time, the three countries will also announce joint naval patrols in the South China Sea later this year, a major move to counter China. It should be noted that they are not patrolling law enforcement forces, but naval forces. The United States and the Philippines have already held joint patrols in the South China Sea, and Japan will participate for the first time. After actively intervening in the affairs of the Taiwan Strait, Japan has begun to intervene in the affairs of the South China Sea, and it is dreaming of blockading and containing China.
And in order to instigate the Philippines to charge into battle, the United States has taken out the "US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty" again. U.S. Indo-Pacific Command Commander Aquilino falsely claimed that "China is becoming more aggressive and bold" and called for the Philippines to invoke the U.S.-Philippines treaty if a Philippine sailor or soldier died. At the same time, Tang Hua, commander of Taiwan's puppet navy, will also visit the United States to attend the handover ceremony of the commander of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet. Looking at the United States like this, it is going to provoke both in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait. As soon as they saw the frenzied provocation of the United States, the first reaction of people familiar with American virtues was whether the United States was going to send people to negotiate again in order to gain bargaining chips through provocations.
Indeed, the United States has already announced that US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will visit China, but our side has not yet responded. Yellen's purpose for coming is also very clear, that is, the US debt problem. With these shrimp soldiers and crabs will provoke, the United States will not succeed.
