Tensions in the South China Sea are intensifying, and there is still no room for relaxation! After the Philippines conducted its first joint military exercise with the United States, Japan, and Australia, we have seen that the Philippines has not stopped and is holding military exercises with the United States again in the South China Sea! The United States and the Philippines are about to kick off the "shoulder to shoulder" joint military exercise, which is also the largest "shoulder to shoulder" joint military exercise between the United States and the Philippines, and the location of the exercise is for the first time outside the Philippine 12-nautical-mile territorial waters, which directly threatens the security of our islands and reefs! This move by the Philippines is to continue to put pressure on China in a vain attempt to use the power of the United States to denounce more sovereignty! As far as the United States is concerned, it is more in line with the fundamental interests of the United States to wish that the more chaotic the South China Sea is, and the United States wants to use the Philippines to contain China!
The Philippine and US militaries will hold joint military exercises in areas facing Taiwan and the South China Sea, because this is the first time that the Philippines has conducted exercises with the United States in the open sea, and the area of the exercise is very sensitive, and it is also regarded as a provocation to China's sovereignty! The exercise area is located in the South China Sea, and it is not far from Taiwan, and the United States is killing two birds with one stone, not only strengthening military ties with the Philippines and helping the Philippines safeguard its sovereignty in the South China Sea, but also warning the mainland not to take action lightly against Taiwan, and the US military strength is everywhere! The South China Sea to contain China, the United States is also building an Indo-Pacific strategy that can contain and suppress China, and the Philippines is obviously an indispensable and important link!
The Philippines attaches great importance to this "shoulder-to-shoulder" joint military exercise, and as many as 16,700 people from both sides have been dispatched to directly participate in the exercise, and it does not include the participants of the Philippine Coast Guard, the Philippine National Police, and other government agencies. The Philippines always takes the stranded warship as an excuse, and repeatedly intrudes into Ren'ai Jiao to deliver daily necessities and building materials, if it is a living material, it can be understood, and we can never let the building materials go, and the Philippines is to build this stranded warship into an unsinkable island and reef, so as to achieve the fundamental purpose of the Philippines here!
This time, the US-Philippine coalition will conduct exercises in maritime security, air defense and missile defense, dynamic missile strikes, network defense, and information operations, and how to rehearse how to seize islands has become the most important task in this exercise, and this is also the subject that the Philippines hopes to exercise! You must know that the Philippines has been denouncing the sovereignty of Ren'ai Jiao, Scarborough Shoal, Thitu Island, and many other islands in the South China Sea, and these islands and reefs have been part of China since ancient times, and this is a fact that cannot be changed! In the face of national sovereignty and territorial integrity, we will not make any concessions, even at the cost of a war! This move by the Philippines is obviously deliberate, and if it wants to use such a drill to put pressure on China, it will only become tougher for us!
Simulating scenarios such as "retaking islands occupied by hostile forces" is itself very sensitive, and the Philippines deliberately staged such a drama is obviously a deliberate provocation! However, I did not expect that in addition to the islands and reefs exercise, the two sides also selected the target for sinking the retired Philippine Navy supply ship "Lake Carilaya"; under such tense Sino-African relations, the sinking of a Chinese-made warship is really puzzling and makes everyone very angry, and the Philippines obviously did it on purpose, and this is to warn the Chinese Navy not to mess around in the South China Sea! This ship is the only "Chinese-made naval asset" in the Philippines, and the Philippines is going to kill people and punish our hearts, which will only make us tougher!
Although the Philippine military claims that such a sinking is not aimed at any country or China, no one will believe such a statement! During this time, we have seen that the Philippine president and the Philippine military have constantly asked China to reflect on it, and they believe that the situation in the South China Sea today is entirely caused by China, and in their eyes, China's vain attempt to make the Philippines submit by force will not achieve its goal, and the Philippines will not back down! The Philippines hopes that China will reflect on what it has done in the South China Sea, but this is simply nonsense and a complete reversal of black and white! If it were not for the frequent provocations by the Philippines, Sino-Philippine relations would not have intensified to the point they have reached now! It is the Philippines that should reflect on it at all, otherwise it will only be the Philippines itself that will suffer in the end!
The United States has tied the Philippines to its "chariot" and made it serve the "Indo-Pacific strategy," while the Philippines is willing to be a "pawn" of the United States for its own selfish interests. The two sides are using each other, but it will only make us tougher! Once China and the Philippines go to war, will the United States really put itself in for the sake of the Philippines? Obviously not, everything is just wishful thinking on the part of the Philippines, and the Philippines can only take the blame for itself!
