[Preface]
Although the current international community looks peaceful on the outside, there are dark currents everywhere behind the scenes, especially since this year, when all kinds of contradictions and disputes have occurred almost all the time.
In this context, it is not easy for our country to develop steadily, but there are always countries that feel that our country is in such a bad state and want to pull us into troubled waters.
For example, since last year, the Philippines has been looking for trouble, and the two countries have exchanged views around the broken ship at Ren'ai Jiao, and our country has been trying to solve the problem in an amicable way.
However, the Philippines does not seem to be willing to have friendly exchanges, I wonder if they feel that they can act arbitrarily if they find the United States as a backer, or whether we have given too many good faces, making the Philippines feel that we are easy to bully.
In short, they are unwilling to communicate, and not only that, but they continue to deliver materials to the broken ship, constantly provoke our country on the issue of the South China Sea, and even recently, they have continued to make a whole moth.
The Philippines has targeted us around four things, so what have they done?
【Relations between China and the Philippines】
In the beginning, the relationship between our country and the Philippines was quite good, and the previous president and our country reached a verbal agreement on the South China Sea issue, which made the relationship between the two countries friendly.
But since Marcos Jr. came to power, things have changed, because Marcos Jr. is closer to the United States, which has also caused the relationship between the two countries to begin to decline, even to the point where it is now tense.
I believe that everyone does not want to see such a situation, but Marcos Jr. does not seem to feel everyone's resistance at all, but instead intensifies his provocation against us.
For example, earlier this month, they joined the United States, Japan, and Australia in conducting military exercises in the South China Sea, and although they did not clearly indicate who they were targeting, anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were targeting our country.
In addition, a few days ago, the United States deployed an intermediate-range missile system on the local island of Luzon, which directly threatened our territorial security.
For example, during the South China Sea exercise, we sent warships to conduct military exercises on the opposite side of them, and the warships we sent were also advanced, and we also went around the Diaoyu Islands, the purpose of which was to warn these countries to restrain themselves and not to do things that they regretted.
For example, we have supported Cuba's military forces and used the methods used by the Soviet Union to give the United States a sense of crisis.
After all, they threaten our "back garden", and we must also treat them in the same way as others, to threaten their "back garden", so that they can see that our country is not easy to bully.
Originally, everyone thought that after these things, at least the Philippines would stop for a while, and we could be a little quieter in a short time, but unexpectedly, they began to moth again, and even faintly threatened the Chinese in the Philippines.
So, what has the Philippines done? What is the purpose of threatening the Chinese at home?
[Absent from the 19th Annual Meeting of the Western Pacific Naval Forum]
From the 21st to the 24th of this month, the 19th annual meeting of the Western Pacific Naval Forum began in the Qinghai region of our country, and naval representatives from 29 countries in the international community attended the meeting.
This is the second meeting held in our country since 2014, and the theme is set on the ocean of shared destiny, and there are many talks and activities.
Interestingly, we invited all of our member countries, including the Philippines, before the Annual Meeting, but the Philippines did not send representatives to the Annual Meeting after the Annual Meeting began.
If there is something in the country that cannot be delayed, it may be better to inform in advance, and everyone will not be dissatisfied with it, the key is that they did not give any reason, and they did not participate in this forum directly.
After all, this is a meeting for future development, and the contradictions between countries are put aside, and it is really incomprehensible that there is no clear distinction between right and wrong.
As for why the Philippines did not send relevant personnel here, some people speculate that it may be because the Philippines is throwing us a face, that is, they did not come because of the countermeasures they made against us in the past, which made them dissatisfied.
But this kind of thing, no matter how it is put on any country, may not be able to do it like us, which is willing to spend a long time to resolve it peacefully, after all, whoever has a robber in the house, does not drive it out directly, but also communicates well.
Besides, how much we love peace is in everyone's eyes, and we will not be idle at all, and we will definitely fight back in the face of the arrival of robbers.
Well, now, we, as a big country, who have been harmed our interests, took the initiative to invite them, but they didn't come directly, and there was no reason at all, how can this not make people angry.
In particular, when the contradictions are fierce, the Philippines has always packaged itself as a weak person to win sympathy in the international community, which is also very shameful, after all, everyone is equal, wrong is wrong, why bother.
Another speculation is that they themselves know that they are the main culprits in undermining peace in the South China Sea, so even if they come, they will not gain much, and they will be blamed by other countries, so in order to save their face, they did not come.
With the first thing out of the way, let's look at the second thing.
[Investigation of Chinese citizens entering the Philippines]
The local people said that if they want to monitor the situation of Chinese citizens in Zamboanga South Province and enter this province, it is likely that some people will wonder why they want to monitor our people, and the Philippines has also given an answer.
It is among these people that there may be Chinese agents, and I have to say that countries that are close to the United States are still very good at reversing black and white.
After all, when the United States is dealing with our country, it is reversing black and white and using the power of public opinion to suppress us, and the Philippines is now fighting with the United States, and it has indeed learned the essence of the United States.
The local government stressed that one of the main tasks of its own army at present was to change from quelling the rebellion to internal envelope defense, and the first country to be targeted behind this was us.
As for the reason for this choice, it also comes down to the relationship between the two countries, because the problems between our country and the Philippines in the South China Sea have accumulated deeply, so the local high-level will repeatedly make statements that are not conducive to our development.
In other words, the masses of our country may be treated differently in the Philippines at present, and coupled with the orders they are giving now, perhaps in the future, there will be a wave of anti-China in the local area.
This is not a good thing for our country, and at the same time, we also hope that the people in the Philippines can be vigilant and protect their personal safety.
[Hydrographic survey of the waters east of Thitu Island in the South China Sea]
As our neighbor, the conflict between the Philippines and our country has been maintained for a long time, and their attempt to conduct a hydrographic survey in the waters east of Thitu Island is a very serious provocation for our country.
Because our country has absolute sovereignty over the Nansha Islands, including Thitu Island, and other surrounding islands, we will certainly take some countermeasures against this matter.
If the Philippines does something unacceptable to us in the coming time, then our country's maritime law enforcement force will definitely not be vegetarian and will definitely expel the Philippines.
After all, the reason why we are developing so strong now is to achieve the desire for world peace and to protect the country's territorial security, so we will never sit idly by and watch in this matter.
After saying these three things, there is one last thing left, so what is this thing?
[The United States and the Philippines officially start military exercises]
Just yesterday, the Philippines and the United States launched a joint military exercise on the ground, an annual shoulder-to-shoulder exercise that focuses on the northern and western parts of the country.
The exercise, which will run until the 10th of next month, will be joined by more than 10,000 Americans and 5,000 Filipinos, as well as Australia and France, and France will deploy a warship to participate.
And this time, they have made such a big propaganda campaign, and it is not difficult for us to see who the country they are targeting in the end, and they are coming at us, after all, the northern and western parts of the Philippines are the flashpoints that are relatively close to the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait.
After all, the Philippines now feels that it is on the thigh of the United States, and wants to obtain greater benefits on the South China Sea issue through the help of the United States.
However, our country will never let anyone go to any country or organization to harm our territory and hurt our people, so we need to pay more attention to these things and never let the bad intentions of the Philippines succeed.
【Conclusion】
The current international situation is changing with each passing day, and everyone seems to be very impetuous in such an environment, and many times, things that are obviously easy to solve have become what they are now with the occurrence of variables, which is not what our country wants to see.
Therefore, we also hope that the Philippines will not be obsessed, repent and reform as soon as possible, and sever ties with the United States, otherwise the consequences will not be borne by them.
