In addition to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as well as the recent outbreak of large-scale Israel-Palestine-related protests in the United States, China's own border issue is also attracting attention.
As a world power, China has made great contributions to promoting world peace in recent years. At the same time, in the process of meddling in the affairs of other countries, the United States is also constantly interfering with China.
In particular, the South China Sea issue has been the focus of the international community's attention since last year, has the United States' attitude toward the South China Sea issue changed so far? What is China's plan for the South China Sea issue?
Conflict in the South China Sea has flare-up again
Since last year, the Philippines has been constantly provoking China in the border areas, and the conflict over the South China Sea issue first broke out, in fact, because the Philippines has been blurring the border issue and always wants to infringe on the mainland's territorial sovereignty.
Under such circumstances, China has no choice but to respond. He has also repeatedly stressed on issues of principle that there is no territorial dispute between China and the Philippines.
The islands near Ren'ai Jiao themselves belong to China's territory, and China will never tolerate the unreasonable behavior of the Philippines forever.
However, after receiving China's warning, the Philippines still engaged in various acts of provocation against China. Under such circumstances, the United States chose to stand behind the Philippines and support the Philippines.
China has warned the United States and the Philippines about this situation on more than one occasion, but it has not received a very positive response in this matter.
It is worth noting that on April 30 this year, according to a Global Times news report, the Chinese coast guard had driven away the Philippine coast guard ship No. 4410 and the No. 3004 official ship that had intruded into the area of Scarborough Shoal in accordance with the law.
In the process of forcibly invading Scarborough Shoal, the Philippine coast guard ship still did not relent, and in desperation, the Chinese side carried out a water cannon attack in order to expel the Philippine coast guard ship, and the Philippine side also suffered very heavy losses.
Earlier in the vicinity of Ren'ai Jiao, this time in the vicinity of Scarborough Shoal, the Philippines' infringement of China's sovereignty has never stopped, and all this, China has once again made a clear warning about the Philippine behavior.
On April 30, at the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lin Jian, spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the mainland, made a clear response that the Chinese side has taken measures to expel the Philippine Coast Guard from the violation in accordance with the law.
At the same time, it also once again warned the Philippine side not to always make tortious and provocative moves, and if it continues to do so, China will not continue like this, and China is very firm in safeguarding its sovereignty.
Sovereignty is inviolable
On the issue of China's sovereignty, China has repeatedly stated firmly in relevant meetings that this is within the basic scope of China's territory and that China will never allow any country to infringe upon it.
It should be noted that some Philippine media issued relevant statements, claiming that the Philippines' previous behavior was normal resupply, but the Chinese side bombarded the Philippines, which caused damage to the Philippine ships in this case.
In addition, the Philippine media also issued a statement in conjunction with the US media, in which they stressed that at the time of the new incident, the Philippines and the United States were conducting an annual large-scale military exercise.
The Philippines speculated that it was because this military exercise angered the Chinese side, so the Chinese side wanted to take this opportunity to warn the Philippines, so it shelled the Philippine ship.
This is not the first time that the United States and the Philippines have done such an act of reversing black and white. Of course, the eyes of the masses are clear, and the whole world can see what the purpose behind the shameless acts of the Philippines and the United States is.
At present, the Chinese side will absolutely not continue to tolerate this kind of public opinion attack by the Philippines and the United States, trying to use the content of public opinion that reverses black and white to smear China's international image, and to blame China.
Whether it's the issue of Ren'ai Jiao or the recent issue of Scarborough Shoal, China is simply legitimately maintaining its sovereignty.
So far, media reports in Western countries have continued to smear China and portray China as a demon.
But these rumors, which have no basis in fact, are vulnerable in the face of the real truth. The Chinese side has made accurate explanations and clarifications on these incidents, and at the same time, it has also stressed that the issue of sovereignty is inviolable, and that the United States and the Philippines will only find themselves in a dilemma of public opinion if they continue to be so unrestrained.
