The Resurgence of the South China Sea: The Truth and Future of Sembin Reef
Recently, Xianbin Reef in the South China Sea has once again become the focus of international attention. This seemingly calm sea area is actually surging with undercurrents, affecting the hearts of countless people. As we all know, the South China Sea has been China's sacred territory since ancient times, and every inch of land and sea carries the history and glory of the Chinese nation. As a shining pearl in the South China Sea, Xianbin Reef is an inseparable part of us.
Recently, however, the Philippines has frequently spoken out about China's so-called "illegal activities" at Sembin Reef. They accused Chinese research vessels of dumping coral debris near Sembin Reef, damaging marine ecology and even threatening to block a possible land reclamation project by China. Such a statement has undoubtedly worried and confused many friends who are concerned about the South China Sea issue.
First of all, let's be clear: Sembin Reef is China's inherent territory, and this is indisputable. China's indisputable sovereignty over Xianbin Reef is based on historical and jurisprudential facts. The activities of Chinese research vessels on Xianbin Reef are entirely based on normal behavior within the scope of sovereignty, and are aimed at safeguarding national maritime rights and interests and promoting marine scientific research.
So why is the Philippines making such a noise? What is the truth behind this?
It has been learned that the reason why the Philippine side frequently accuses China is mainly because they are trying to achieve their ulterior motives by creating public opinion pressure. In this way, they hope to confuse the public and mislead international public opinion, so as to achieve the goal of weakening China's influence in the South China Sea.
However, such an approach is clearly unwise. Because the truth cannot be concealed, any attempt to distort the facts and confuse the public will eventually reap the consequences. In fact, China has always adhered to the principles of peace, cooperation and win-win results in the South China Sea, and worked with its neighbors to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea. We are willing to strengthen communication and cooperation with the Philippines and other neighboring countries to jointly promote the peaceful settlement of the South China Sea issue.
Of course, we cannot ignore the provocations of the Philippine side. They sent coast guard ships to closely monitor the movements of Chinese research vessels near Sembin Reef and even tried to stop possible land reclamation by China. Such behavior not only seriously violates China's maritime rights and interests, but also violates international law and basic norms governing international relations.
What should we do in the face of such provocations? First of all, we must remain calm and rational and not be fooled by the Philippine side's rhetoric. We should trust that the government will take all necessary measures to safeguard China's maritime rights and territorial integrity. At the same time, we must also strengthen our awareness of self-prevention, increase vigilance, and ensure our own safety.
In addition, we should also actively follow the progress and dynamics of the South China Sea issue. By understanding the relevant news and reports, we can gain a deeper understanding of the ins and outs of the South China Sea issue and the positions of all parties. This will not only increase our knowledge and insight, but also help us better understand and respond to the South China Sea issue.
Finally, I would like to say that the South China Sea issue concerns the vital interests and national security of every Chinese. We should actively participate in this process and contribute to the peaceful settlement of the South China Sea issue. Whether by commenting, participating in discussions, or by other means, we can all contribute to the peaceful resolution of the South China Sea issue.
