In fact, there is no controversy about the South China Sea issue in the final analysis.
It's just that the Philippines has blindly carried out unilateral sovereign provocations against the mainland under the instigation of the United States.
But the mainland on the issue of sovereignty.
No concessions will ever be made.
Recent
But the Philippines apparently doesn't think so.
This is because China and Africa are at loggerheads on the Ren'ai Jiao issue.
In fact, the Philippine side's suspicions are not wrong.
The mainland is indeed going to carry out some activities on Ren'ai Jiao in the future, and use the facts to tell the Philippine side that the mainland is by no means so simple as "tugboats".
The dispute over sovereignty over Ren'ai Jiao in the South China Sea
The South China Sea has been an inherent territory of the mainland since ancient times.
Even in modern times,
I didn't see a single Southeast Asian country that stood up and spoke out against it.
What's more, this is already a compromise made by the mainland.
If you put it in the past,
But no one thought of it.
As the South China Sea has been discovered, huge oil and gas resources have been discovered.
In this way,
They all stood up and began to "race horses and grab land" in the South China Sea.
And the most ferocious of them is undoubtedly the Philippines.
The Philippines, on the other hand, has gone a little too far.
The Philippines not only claims a large number of islands in the South China Sea.
It's also obvious.
The Philippines is trying to assert de facto control over Second Thomas Shoal with a broken ship
In fact, the Philippines has since done exactly that.
Sierra Madre at the end of the last century,
For such a long time, the Philippines has never thought of sailing away warships.
Or they didn't even pretend to simply send someone to repair it.
It's just a bad repair, as a means of delay, and a few people are stationed on the Sierra Madre.
And every once in a while, they will send some supplies to these people as supplies.
The mainland's attitude toward this has always been very restrained.
And there was no direct use of forceful means to tow the Sierra Madre away.
Trying to use this means to make the Philippine side retreat from Ren'ai Jiao.
But unexpectedly, the mainland's restraint did not let the Philippines know its mistake.
On the contrary, under the constant provocation of the United States, the Philippines and the mainland have reached a stalemate at Ren'ai Jiao.
But don't think that the mainland will only use this means to bring the Philippines to its knees.
Actually, on the issue of the South China Sea.
Today's Philippines has long lost the possibility of victory.
Even with the Americans behind them, nothing will help.
This can be seen from a series of actions taken by the mainland in the South China Sea.
Mainland's initiatives in the South China Sea
In order to be able to take the lead in the South China Sea, it is also to be able to protect the sovereignty of the South China Sea.
For example, in order to deal with restless countries such as the Philippines.
The mainland is on the islands of the South China Sea,
Take, for example, Mischief Reef, which is only 40 kilometers away from Second Thomas Reef.
The mainland is on the top, and the island reclamation activities have already been completed.
The ultimate goal is that the mainland can deploy missile bases and air bases on it.
In this way, it will strengthen its control over the South China Sea region.
Nowadays, in the South China Sea, once there is any wind and grass.
The mainland can dispatch planes or warships to strike at bases in the South China Sea at any time.
In this way, neither the United States nor the Philippines can actually do anything.
Defeat in the South China Sea is almost inevitable.
Moreover, this time it is near Second Thomas Reef.
The discovery by the Philippine side of several special ships on the mainland has caused concern in the Philippines.
In fact, these ships are none other than the mainland's scientific research vessels.
But the Philippines is worried, and there are reasons for that.
The mainland will never do any useless work,
Of course, the appearance of the mainland research ship near Ren'ai Jiao was by no means to tow the warship Sierra Madre away.
It's a deeper intention, on the inside.
Don't forget
It is also possible to conduct some covert scientific experiments.
Of course, the ultimate goal must be that the mainland will make some moves near Ren'ai Jiao.
Perhaps in the future, the mainland may also carry out a "reclamation and island-building" project on Ren'ai Jiao.
However, with nearby Mischief Reef in front of us, it is unlikely that the mainland will carry out large-scale land reclamation on Second Thomas Reef.
But even so.
The mainland can also take some other measures, and these measures are above board actions, and the Philippine side cannot raise objections.
As a result, the Philippines' initiative on the South China Sea issue will be completely lost.
It can be seen that the defeat of the Philippines in the South China Sea is inevitable.
Then again, though.
The South China Sea is the traditional territory of the mainland
Whether it is the desert of the past, or the "fragrant gluttony" of today.
The South China Sea is the territorial waters of the mainland.
No other country should interfere, still less should it infringe on the mainland's sovereignty.
To borrow a phrase that is often said by Russians:
"Although China is big, not an inch of land is superfluous."
Of course, the Philippines is advised to recognize the reality.
We should no longer be provoked by the United States, because we must know that the mainland is the neighbor of the Philippines, and it is far more beneficial to have good relations with the mainland than with the United States.
