[Preface]
Although we say that people are not short of ambitions, we can't imagine how shameless people are when they are poor, just like the Philippines turned its face when it took China's money.
Now that no one has paid them, Marcos Jr. thinks of China again, but he is ashamed to say to other countries: "China will continue to invest in the Philippines." ”
I have to say that Marcos Jr. is really too naïve, they do such a thing, but they still want China to be the big wrongdoer, how is this possible? It really responds to that sentence -- people are poor, and no matter how shameless things can be done!
The most unexpected thing is that Marcos Jr. also said: "China has 20 billion to pay, and Ren'ai Jiao is the ...... of the Philippines"
What is going on here? How can we in China have 20 billion yuan to pay?
[Marcos Jr.: China has 20 billion to pay, and Ren'ai Jiao belongs to the Philippines]
We all know that probably due to the confrontation between China and the Philippines, the mainland has almost suspended all investments and projects in the Philippines.
And even the Philippines itself has issued an investment report, according to which the mainland is the main source of foreign investment and projects for the Philippines.
In the past few years, the mainland intends to invest US$24.2 billion in the Philippines, of which about US$4.349 billion has already entered the implementation stage.
The Philippines is very worried about the remaining $20 billion that the mainland will card, which is crucial for the modern language of the Philippines, after all, no other country will send such a big gift to the Philippines except China.
However, the Philippines has made China feel chilled by such a friendly way of making friends with China, in addition to constantly attacking China's defense line in the South China Sea, they are also entangled with the United States, Japan, India and other countries to put pressure on China.
The most important thing is that Marcos Jr. even said in public: "China still has $20 billion to pay, and Ren'ai Jiao is a territory belonging to the Philippines." ”
The United States beautifies such behavior as "safeguarding freedom of navigation and flight in the South China Sea," but in fact it is concocting a hot spot incident and must strive for its own absolute interests.
Marcos Jr. may have overlooked one thing, and the United States and Japan are not fools, and they can't just ask for $100 billion and they will pay as soon as they ask.
Marcos Jr. is shameless in saying such things, and he also thinks too highly of his own status in the eyes of the United States and Japan, and the mainland will absolutely not get used to the stinky problems of the Philippines in this matter, especially in the dispute over territory and sovereignty, and the mainland will absolutely not have any possibility of making concessions.
[With the United States and Japan as backers, Marcos Jr. is completely floating]
The Philippine Star reported on April 13 that Marcos Jr. attended a press conference after meeting with leaders from the United States and Japan.
In addition to continuing to advocate the "China threat theory" and inviting the United States and Japan to continue to intervene in the South China Sea dispute between the Philippines and China, Marcos Jr. also said that the situation in the South China Sea will not affect China's investment in the Philippines.
In this case, it is really too rampant, with the United States and Japan as backers, Marcos Jr. is completely floating, so let's take a look at the relationship between China and the Philippines and the United States and Japan.
Marcos Jr. in the Philippines can be said to be the biggest embezzler in the history of the Philippines, but he didn't expect that his soul finally returned to the old Marcos family in Hawaii, USA.
Since he became president of the Philippines, former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's policy of "balanced foreign affairs" has been quickly abandoned, and the Philippine authorities have turned closer to the United States and Japan.
Originally, this matter was not a big deal, after all, every country has its own diplomatic powers, but since the Philippines has been close to the United States and Japan.
They began to be instigated by the United States and Japan to come to China to repeatedly stir up trouble on the territorial issue, which is a fancy death, and just in the last few days.
Marcos Jr. visited Japan again, and once again threw out a series of "absurd" and violent theories, how crazy is it? Let's take a look at them together.
"A more assertive China is now posing a threat to Asian countries, and the South China Sea is a complex geopolitical challenge, and the Philippines wants to seek cooperation with third parties such as Japan and the United States in the future," Marcos Jr. said. ”
Moreover, everything he said afterwards said that not only would he cooperate with the United States and Japan, but also that the Philippines would not rule out inviting Japanese Self-Defense Forces to the Philippines.
At the end of the visit, Marcos Jr. also said that negotiations between the Philippines and China on joint development of resources in the South China Sea have been very ineffective, so they are ready to invite Japan to start a new resource exploration project.
From Marcos's words, we can see that since he wanted to cooperate with the United States and Japan, his various behaviors have been very floating.
First of all, let's take a look at the South China Sea issue, which has never involved geopolitical challenges.
There is no dispute that the South China Sea has been China's territory since ancient times, and our Foreign Ministry has made it very clear that China's sovereignty over Nanhai Zhudao has never been challenged before the 20th century.
It was not until the thirties and forties of the 20 th century that France and Japan illegally occupied some islands and reefs of the Nansha Islands on the mainland by force.
In the following decades, the mainland fought hard battles to recover its territory, and the "Potsdam Declaration" and the "Cairo Declaration" after World War II can prove the mainland's sovereignty over Nanhai Zhudao.
In 1946, when the Chinese personnel recovered the Xisha and Nansha islands, they even took four warships provided by the United States, and the so-called "sovereignty dispute in the South China Sea" is nothing more than a certain country that wants to illegally occupy China's islands and reefs again.
The root cause is that with the progress of human science and technology, the resources under these islands and reefs are also very rich, which has been coveted by many people.
In this context, Marcos Jr. was able to seek cooperation between Japan and the United States, and his purpose was already very clear: the country he cooperated with could not be a single country, after all, if there was only one country, the threat would not be enough.
Therefore, he can only pull in Japan, which also has ambitions for China, and the three countries form an alliance to finally exploit the resources of the South China Sea by illegal means.
[White-eyed wolf Philippines, fool China if you have difficulties, this time we will not be the wronged]
Not only that, they took China's money but still thought about going against China, and even thought that China would continue to invest in them.
This kind of behavior in the Philippines can be called clown behavior, which is universal, and many poor countries usually take this kind of measure in order to make their countries develop quickly.
It's just that this kind of speculation is full of risks, and sometimes the fate of the whole country will be buried if you are not careful, and the Philippines has no way to fool the mainland again this time, so let's talk about a few points of view in this sentence.
First of all, it is unlikely that the mainland will continue to invest in the Philippines, and the current situation is clear to everyone, and China and Africa are almost torn apart, and if the mainland continues to invest in the Philippines, it will certainly cause fierce domestic opposition.
The second is that everyone can clearly see the face of the Philippine government now, and China cannot afford to give a big gift package to the opponent in order to ease Sino-Philippine relations, which is equivalent to subsidizing the enemy.
In addition, the final outcome of the confrontation between China and the Philippines may not be as expected by the United States and Europe, that is, they can only rejoice in vain.
The mainland has once again issued a solemn warning to the Philippines, which probably means that the Philippines must withdraw its warships beached at Ren'ai Jiao, otherwise the mainland will also take certain measures, and at the same time, our side will also start large-scale military exercises in sensitive areas, and we will not be afraid to fight with our main opponents.
Moreover, there is a limit to the mainland's endurance, and the reason why it has repeatedly tolerated and connived at the actions of the United States, the Philippines, Japan, and other countries in the past is that they do not want to tear their faces with these countries, after all, they will inevitably encounter international cooperation in the future.
But now the United States is trying its best to suppress China, using any country it can use to deal with China, and the mainland no longer needs to be polite to the United States, after all, it should take action when it is time to act, which is also a sign of respect for its opponents.
The confrontation between China and the Philippines is different from the United States instigating the Russian-Ukrainian war, and the United States can look at the situation and dump all these messes on Germany, France and other European allies.
However, if the Philippines is forcefully attacked by China, it will definitely have a very big connection with the overall layout of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region, and on the light side, Japan and South Korea will not no longer trust the United States.
But if the outcome becomes serious, then Yatai may set off a wave of "de-Americanization", which is extremely unfavorable for the United States.
In response to such a situation, Marcos Jr. even thought about winning over the United States and Japan to deal with China, and even fantasized about letting the mainland continue to invest in them.
If Marcos Jr. still has a sense of the bottom line, he should immediately restrain himself from the precipice, respond to China's demands, and coexist peacefully with China.
【Conclusion】
In fact, as far as the United States is concerned, they should also pay attention to one point, fighting a proxy war has long been outdated, and if the United States continues to suppress the mainland in this way, then the mainland will definitely take certain measures to protect itself.
We hope that all countries in the world can coexist peacefully, but this also needs to be done by all countries, and I hope that Marcos Jr. can have his own ideas, and the United States should also consider whether its own country should choose this path.
