This time, U.S. President Joe Biden pulled Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos to hold a three-country summit together.
Although it has nothing to do with China at all.
But all the things that these three countries talk about revolve around China.
For example, during the US-Japan talks, Biden and Fumio Kishida talked about the major upgrade of US-Japan security, not only to upgrade the US military command in Japan, but also to make commitments to Japan.
That is, the United States wants to protect Japan with nuclear weapons.
After talking with Fumio Kishida, Biden went to talk to Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos.
What are the contents of what the United States and the Philippines are talking about this time?
It is also very direct, Biden publicly emphasized that the "US-Philippine Mutual Defense Treaty" also applies to the "Sierra Madre" landing ship that is "beached" on Ren'ai Shoal.
At the same time, Biden also pointed directly at China, saying that China's actions in the direction of Ren'ai Jiao were too aggressive, and he said that the United States would respond to China's "attack" on the Philippines.
What does Biden mean by that?
In fact, it is the same as what the previous Secretary of the Indo-Pacific Command said, that is, the United States, in accordance with the "US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty", will personally support the Philippines, as long as there is a soldier on the Philippine side, or a sailor dies, the Philippines will take action.
From Japan, to the Philippines.
The American abacus is heard all over the world.
The United States is trying to woo Japan and the Philippines, and it is making a big fuss about China.
It is to build a stronger first island chain and completely lock in China's rise to the road.
And in the face of this situation.
On April 7, while the United States, Japan, Australia and the Philippines held naval exercises in the South China Sea, China's southern theater immediately took action and also held-for-tat exercises in the South China Sea.
At a time when the United States, Japan, and the Philippines colluded with the White House to slander China internationally.
The spokesperson of China's Ministry of National Defense also solemnly stated to the world that the South China Sea issue should be resolved by reason, not by comparing the big with the small, and that China has never bullied the small with the big, but at the same time, we will never allow the Philippines to make trouble.
On the issue of defending national sovereignty and security, the Chinese armed forces have always done what they say!
It can be said that this shout of the Ministry of Defense of our country has really made the core of the South China Sea issue clear, and at the same time, it has also clearly expressed our position in the South China Sea.
In addition to the military's intervention, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also acting urgently.
On April 12, the head of the Asian Department of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs personally met with the Philippine ambassador to China and made solemn representations to the Philippine side on a series of negative China-related remarks during the US-Japan-Philippines summit.
China is not a paper tiger, and China is not a soft persimmon.
China is peace-loving and hopes for good-neighborliness and friendship.
But this does not mean that the Philippines, the United States, and Japan can make waves around China and do whatever they want!
In particular, when it comes to China's bottom line and red lines, China will not compromise.
From the statement of the People's Liberation Army to the attitude of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, China has already given the Philippines a step, and if Philippine President Marcos still can't listen, don't blame China for not giving face!
