The Philippines' series of actions in the South China Sea have almost made people realize the fact that if the United States had not backed it, the Philippines would have been hammered to the ground long ago.
Especially after entering 2024, all kinds of incomprehensible behaviors in the Philippines will emerge one after another, and even dare to directly impact the Chinese coast guard ships near Scarborough Shoal.
In response to such behavior, although China has warned many times, it is obvious that the Philippines, which has been pushed to the forefront by the United States, does not care about this at all, and even acts even more recklessly.
For the Marcos Jr. family, who govern the Philippines today, they put all their hopes on the Americans.
It is worth mentioning that during the Philippine provocation against China, the United States has been cruising aircraft carriers in the South China Sea, and although the United States has not directly expressed its support for the Philippines, its real intentions are obvious.
In recent days, as the standoff continues to escalate and tensions continue to pervade, the United States has flown an aircraft carrier to Singapore.
In view of this very abnormal phenomenon, some experts in the Taiwan region said: "The mainland does not seem to be afraid of the United States. ”
According to general logic, the United States, Japan, Australia and other countries have always made high-profile claims of support for the Philippines, that is to say, the mainland is not just facing a small regional country, the Philippines, but on the contrary, it is facing multiple countries at the same time.
You don't have to think about it to know that the United States is the operator behind all this, but because the United States is very hidden, it is difficult to find an opportunity to expose the American conspiracy.
In response to the unreasonable measures taken by the Philippine side, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin quickly responded. Spokesman Wang Wenbin said that Huangyan Dao and its surrounding areas have been an inalienable part of China's territory since ancient times. Recently, the Philippines has frequently carried out illegal and infringing activities against China's Scarborough Shoal and its surrounding areas, and China urges the Philippine side to correct its erroneous actions and avoid further escalation of the regional situation.
There is a very strange point about the Philippine provocation this time, that is, the scale is not small, and more than 100 ships have dared to directly attack the Scarborough Shoal area, which is obviously a naked "invasion".
If no one had come up with ideas behind their backs, then the Philippines would simply not have the audacity to continue to provoke.
But at the most critical juncture, the US aircraft carrier suddenly sailed into Singapore, and the direct consequence of this was that the Philippines lost its greatest reliance.
On the one hand, the Philippines is touting its "achievements" in the South China Sea at home, while on the other hand, it has been hedged by Chinese coast guard ships.
In fact, the South China Sea issue seems to be a contest between China and the Philippines, but in fact it is the direct or indirect participation of many countries, and countless pairs of eyes are watching it throughout Asia.
No, just in the past few days, Wan Jiaxing, a military and current affairs expert in the Taiwan region, expressed his views on the recent conflict between China and the Philippines.
Wan Jiaxing said: The mainland does not have the slightest fear of the Philippines, and even the world or regional powers such as the United States, Japan, and Macao, the mainland does not seem to be afraid, and even the mainland has always been very confident.
Wan Jiaxing put forward two reasons. One is the mainland's growing military strength in the South China Sea, with the addition of coast guard ships alone, with the simple aim of being able to monitor the Philippines' cross-border behavior around the clock.
The second is that Chinese mainland attaches great importance to the South China Sea region, China has been vigorously developing its navy in recent years, in order to restore its once strong national strength, and this time the vigorous expulsion of Philippine invading ships is enough to show the mainland's determination.
Over the past few years, the South China Sea has been contributing to the deterioration of the situation in the South China Sea due to the continuous interference of the United States, Japan and other countries, and the Philippines, as a pawn of the United States, has been frequently provoking incidents near Scarborough Shoal.
But for China, no matter what kind of turbulent waves are set off in the South China Sea, one thing is certain, and that is that the Chinese government has the determination and strength to safeguard the integrity of the motherland's territorial waters.
