After the conclusion of the trilateral talks between the United States, Japan, and the Philippines, the Philippines changed its normal pattern to launch provocations against the mainland, first claiming that the new US military base was added last year to target the mainland, and then asking the United States to deploy an intermediate-range missile launch system on its territory.
The mainland strongly condemned such behavior by the Philippine side and took a series of countermeasures against the medium-range missiles deployed by the United States in the Philippines.
According to foreign media reports, there has been a news in the Philippines recently, claiming that an unidentified aerial vehicle was photographed near the South China Sea, which is suspected to be the latest product developed by China.
Recently, with the support of the United States, the Philippine side has become more and more hardened in the South China Sea, not only holding joint naval exercises with the United States, Australia and Japan, but also participating in the trilateral talks between the United States, Japan and the Philippines.
Subsequently, the Philippines even asked the United States to deploy the "Tifeng" medium-range ballistic missile system within its territory, knowing that this system can launch US Tomahawk cruise missiles.
You must know that the maximum range of this Tomahawk cruise missile is actually 2,500 kilometers, and this medium-range missile launch system is on the Philippine island of Luzon, which is about 1,200 kilometers away from the mainland and only about 400 kilometers away from Taiwan.
Therefore, such actions by the United States and the Philippines have seriously infringed on the mainland's territorial security, and the mainland has also given a strong response to this.
Lin Jian, a spokesman for the mainland's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that China had taken note of the incident and expressed serious concern. The mainland resolutely opposes the deployment of medium-range missiles by the United States in the Asia-Pacific region in order to seek unilateral military superiority, and strengthens forward deployment at China's doorstep.
The mainland has also taken corresponding countermeasures against such acts of the United States and the Philippines, first of all, the mainland has sent representatives to Cuba to express its support for Cuba's military buildup.
Second, Foreign Minister Wang Yi of the mainland also paid official state visits to Indonesia, Cambodia and Papua New Guinea to deepen cooperation between China and them.
I hope that the Philippine side will understand as soon as possible that the reason why the United States is doing this is only to contain China's development, and the Philippine side is currently only being used as a pawn.
The South China Sea issue should be resolved through peaceful negotiations through communication between countries in the region, rather than bringing in countries from outside the region.
Recently, another news has spread in the Philippine media, which said that some local residents have photographed a mysterious aircraft in the sky of the South China Sea.
It can be seen from the photos that broke out that this aircraft does not match all the equipment of the Philippine side, so it is not the equipment of the Philippine side at all.
But then some people said that this is the Chinese side of the Wuzhan-7 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, as early as last year, someone photographed the Wuzhan-7 flying in the direction of the South China Sea, so this mysterious aircraft is likely to be the Wuzhan-7.
The data of the Wuzhen-7 are very good, especially in terms of cruising altitude and speed, leaving the traditional unmanned reconnaissance aircraft far behind.
Moreover, the ceiling of the Wuzhan-7 exceeds 18,000 meters, so that the traditional manned military aircraft can hardly track or accompany it in peacetime, which also increases the safety factor of the Wuzhen-7 when performing tasks.
In addition, the Wuzhan-7 also has a variety of reconnaissance capabilities such as electronic reconnaissance, synthetic aperture radar, and optical imaging, which makes it able to carry out reconnaissance missions in a variety of different environments.
Therefore, when this news has already broke, the outside world will fully understand that China's attitude towards the South China Sea issue has changed, and the mainland will continue to develop in a tough direction due to the endless provocations of the Philippines.
The mainland's attitude is also to make the Philippines understand as soon as possible that the mainland is not afraid of any threat of force, and that the integrity of the mainland is a red line issue for the mainland, and the mainland will not retreat a step in this regard.
The Philippines' endless provocations have gradually departed from the initial attitude of dealing with the problem, coupled with the United States fanning the flames behind the scenes, which has made Marcos more and more hardened.
Therefore, the mainland should also give the other side a deterrent, letting them know that their so-called threat of force and the "US-Philippines Mutual Defense" treaty signed by the two countries will not have a deterrent effect on China.
If the Philippines really wants to resolve the South China Sea issue, it should put aside its arrogant attitude and engage in communication and negotiation with the mainland.
Under the surveillance of Wuzhen-7, it is believed that all the small actions of the United States and the Philippines will become nowhere to hide, and although the mainland loves peace, the mainland will not be afraid at all times.
