The Philippines is stunned!
Recently, the government reported on the latest incident between China and the Philippines.
The cause was a Filipino non-governmental organization called "This Is Our", which planned to gather a group of so-called "local fishermen" to go to the waters around China's Huangyan Island in mid-May, with the intention of using the "fishermen" as a "meat shield" to promote a new round of infringement actions in the South China Sea, and deliberately "touching porcelain" to "sell miserably" to the international community.
According to relevant reports, this so-called non-governmental organization has been funded by US agencies for many years, and it has not only stirred up trouble in the South China Sea issue, but also tried to influence the Philippine government's policy on the South China Sea issue.
This time, this so-called non-governmental organization has once again "made a shining appearance", which means that the United States is stepping up its interference in the South China Sea issue, and it also means that the Philippines is also stunned by this issue.
According to a number of Philippine media reports, this so-called non-governmental organization will have "more than 200 people" to participate, and these people will take "more than 100 fishing boats" from the fishing port of Masinlok Town in the northern Philippines, planning to break into the waters near Scarborough Shoal, and will also throw some "symbolic buoys" in the waters near Scarborough Shoal, with provocative slogans written on them.
Moreover, several Philippine media outlets are playing up the threat that China will pose to this so-called civil society organization, so Philippine Coast Guard spokesman Tariera specifically declared that the Philippine Coast Guard will ensure the safety and freedom of navigation of participants in the "This is Ours" mission in the event of the presence of Chinese vessels in the waters off Scarborough Shoal.
In fact, Philippine politicians, the media, and the so-called non-governmental organizations have said so much, which is nothing more than to make the outside world and the international community mistakenly believe that China has been bullying the Philippines.
If the Philippine ships can't stop them, they have to sail to the South China Sea, and they have to spread rumors all over the world about China's bullying, and they have to push the boat down the river?
The Philippines' top priority is to calm internal contradictions
The most serious problem for the Philippines today is not the South China Sea issue at all, but the internal problem.
Long before the end of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's term of office, he repeatedly told the Philippines to maintain friendly relations with China, according to the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Duterte also publicly reminded his successor, Marcos Jr., that the Philippines must handle its relations with China well, and if it deviates slightly from this general direction, it may cause some unnecessary trouble.
Some Philippine media learned that Sties, vice chairman of SM Investments, and Hong Yuhua, founding president of the Philippine Chinese Youth Federation, both believe that the Philippines should negotiate with China instead of provoking in the South China Sea. Hong Yuhua said, "It's better to shake hands than to punch. ”
There are also many Filipino people who see the South China Sea issue very clearly, and they also know very well that the Philippines should not stand against China.
The Philippines has made cannon fodder for the United States and does not know it
Prior to this, according to Reuters, the Philippine Coast Guard has frequently hyped China's "reclamation of islands" at Sembin Reef in recent days.
In this regard, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a regular press conference on the same day that the Philippine side has repeatedly spread rumors, deliberately smeared China, and tried to mislead the international community, which is futile. We urge the Philippine side to stop making irresponsible remarks, face up to the facts, and return to the right track of properly handling maritime differences through negotiation and consultation as soon as possible.
Let's be honest, what if we "reclaim the island" at Xianbin Reef? In our own field, we can do whatever we want, and it is not the turn of the Philippines to shout here.
Of course, the Philippines did this because it was deceived and deceived by the United States, after all, anyone who hears those self-interested good words is willing to listen, and when they listen to it, they believe it to be true, and they are taken advantage of by others.
The United States is using the Philippines to entangle China in order to create trouble for China, weaken China's good reputation in the international community, and thus reduce its influence.
China has given the Philippines enough sincerity and time to make amends, but if the Philippines still does not repent, it will definitely pay a heavy price!
