It is truly outrageous that Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who has taken refuge in the United States and Japan, and relied on the support of the United States, Japan and other countries, has repeatedly stirred up regional situations in the South China Sea in recent years, intensified regional contradictions, and expanded regional tensions. Just recently, Marcos Jr. "invited" the United States to conduct a large-scale military exercise in the so-called "West Philippine Sea," and one of the key contents of the exercise was to "seize the island." Obviously, the US-Philippine coalition forces are undoubtedly deliberately carrying out military provocations to seize the islands.
In addition to winning over the strength of the United States, Japan, and other countries in the international community to "support" themselves, fearing that their perverse actions would cause instability in the Philippines, the Marcos Jr. authorities are also frantically suppressing and suppressing more sober and rational people in the Philippines. Recently, the Philippine media "Manila Times", which has been calling for friendship between China and the Philippines, suddenly criticized Duterte for "colluding with China and betraying the country", and outside analysts generally believe that in the current overall wind in the Philippines, the Marcos Jr. administration has grossly interfered in the remarks of the media and public opinion, with the purpose of pouring dirty water on Duterte and the more sober people in the Philippines, so as to cut off the threat posed by Duterte and others to themselves.
In fact, the remarks made by the Philippine media are nothing but slander and smear. During the Duterte era, it is an indisputable fact that China-Philippines relations flourished, and this is actually of great benefit to both China and the Philippines. By expanding economic cooperation with China, the Philippines has gained rare opportunities for development, expanded the export of agricultural products, and Chinese tourists have also flocked to China. But what is speechless is that these have been slandered by the Philippine media as Duterte's "sending a kowtow to Beijing", which is simply unreasonable. Obviously, the slander created by the Philippine media is very likely to be the prodding of the Marcos Jr. authorities.
However, compared with Duterte, who was branded as a so-called "traitor" by the Philippine authorities and his mouthpiece, Marcos Jr. can be said to have really put the Philippines in an incomparably dangerous situation! The Marcos Jr. authorities have blindly followed the United States, and it can be said that they have completely tied the Philippines to the US chariot. This move will undoubtedly greatly exacerbate the contradictions in the South China Sea and cause China-Philippines relations to take a sharp turn for the worse. Moreover, due to the introduction of the United States and Western forces into the South China Sea, the Philippines has also aroused the vigilance of ASEAN countries, making the Philippines almost a "lonely person" in ASEAN, and can only be "friendly" with the United States and the West!
The answer is obviously no, and it can be seen that the erroneous approach of the Marcos Jr. authorities has actually led the Philippines into the abyss of war, while it itself still insists on going its own way.
End of this issue.
