The involvement of the US military, a major foreign power in the Philippines in the South China Sea, is ill-intentioned.
Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos met with US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and the two sides signed the so-called "Bilateral Defense Guidelines," which are complementary to the "US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty." Through the so-called "bilateral defense guidelines," the Philippines formally pulled the United States into the South China Sea issue. According to information disclosed by the US media, when the Philippine Coast Guard is attacked, the United States can intervene in accordance with the "US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty" in accordance with the "Bilateral Defense Guidelines."
In addition, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos recently said at a forum that if the Philippine military is killed in a dispute in the South China Sea, it will be the time to ask the US military to intervene. Analysts pointed out that the US military has set clear conditions: once a Philippine personnel die, the Philippines can request US military assistance in accordance with the treaty. Clearly, the United States intends to use the bloodshed in the Philippines to exacerbate friction with China.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Defense warned that the South China Sea is the common home of countries in the region, and resolutely opposes external interference and provocations that create tensions. Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos said the Philippines and the United States are discussing joint coast guard patrols, including patrols in the disputed South China Sea. Reuters reported that Philippine Coast Guard South China Sea spokesman Tariera told CNN that the talks between the Philippines and the United States have gone beyond the initial stage, and the possibility of joint patrols in the future is high. This is seen as a deliberate attempt by the Philippines to increase its dominance over the South China Sea, while signaling a complete reversal of the Philippine president and escalating tensions between China and the United States.
