Not long ago, on 20 April, the United States brazenly dispatched the powerful 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Roosevelt to the southern waters of Scarborough Shoal on the mainland. You must know that Scarborough Shoal has been an inseparable part of the mainland since ancient times, and it is only because of the illegal coveting of the Philippines that it has now become one of the focal points of maritime confrontation between China and the Philippines. Under such a premise, the United States brazenly dispatched a powerful aircraft carrier formation to Huangyan Dao, obviously to "cheer up" the Philippines and prevent the Philippines from continuing to make illegal troubles in the South China Sea.
In addition to the aircraft carriers that have taken the lead in dispatching, more than 10,000 US troops have also officially dispatched troops on 22 April! The "shoulder-to-shoulder" military exercise, the largest military exercise held by the United States and the Philippines so far this year, has officially begun! The US military, the Philippine army, the Australian army, and the French army have sent a total of more than 17,000 troops.
In addition to military threats, the United States and the Philippines have also made a big move in the diplomatic field in an attempt to engage in so-called "internationalization" in the South China Sea! At the G-7 foreign ministers' meeting a few days ago, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who is about to start his visit to China, openly clamored for China's immediate cessation of its "actions" in the South China Sea! The Philippine side also expressed its gratitude to the G7 foreign ministers' meeting and stressed the need to abide by the results of the so-called "South China Sea arbitration" in 2016.
To sum up, it is not difficult to see that the Philippines itself knows very well that with its own strength, it is impossible to stir up the regional situation in the South China Sea and undermine regional peace. Therefore, the Philippines can only "support itself" by luring the wolf into the house and fooling the United States and the West! And the United States is also happy to see the Philippines "muddy the waters"; whether it is inviting Australia and France in the "shoulder-to-shoulder" exercise, or making wild remarks at the G7 foreign ministers' meeting, this is actually a manifestation of the "weakness of heart" of the United States and the Philippines -- because they simply do not dare to face China alone in the South China Sea, so they can only "shake people" to help!
However, what the United States and the Philippines did not expect is that not only the United States and the Philippines have friends in this world, but we are also friends all over the world! At a time when the United States and the Philippines are acting in cahoots and wantonly carrying out provocations in the South China Sea, the mainland has also welcomed a distinguished guest, and he is Moiseev, the new commander of the Russian Navy.
On 22 April, Moiseev, Russia's new naval commander, led a delegation to China to attend the West Pacific Naval Forum hosted by the Chinese side, and the Russian Defense Ministry openly stated that the Russian naval commander's current visit to China will be of great benefit to strengthening Sino-Russian naval cooperation! On the one hand, the United States is frantically provoking in the South China Sea, and on the other hand, US Secretary of State Blinken and others have publicly warned that they do not want China and Russia to get too close. As a result, under such circumstances, the commander of the Russian Navy withstood the pressure and successfully visited China. This undoubtedly shows that neither the US aircraft carrier nor the crazy rhetoric of the United States can frighten China and Russia, nor can they stop the normal exchanges between China and Russia, still less can they undermine the deep friendship between China and Russia!
At a time when the global situation is turbulent, China and Russia can work together to face global uncertainties, which is not only of great benefit to China and Russia, but also of great significance to promoting world peace.
End of this issue.
