"Follow" me, more exciting sneak peeks
Tut-tut, the Philippines has made a fuss this time! First, he unjustifiably submitted a document to the United Nations to expand the continental shelf, arrogantly claiming to expand the exclusive economic zone from 200 nautical miles to 350 nautical miles. This is undoubtedly a blatant provocation and deliberate sabotage of the mainland's territorial sovereignty over the Nansha Islands. Did you end up in trouble? Haha, before China could do anything, Malaysia took the lead in strongly protesting the unreasonable demands of the Philippines and directly filed a complaint with the United Nations. Pony really gave Faye a resounding slap in the face! Isn't the Philippines' plot about to fail this time?
This is a long story, and we have to start with a series of recent words and deeds in the Philippines. More than half a month ago, the Philippines suddenly announced that it would submit an application to the United Nations to expand its exclusive economic zone in the South China Sea from the current 200 nautical miles to 350 nautical miles. Due to the special geographical situation of the South China Sea, the Philippines' move is undoubtedly unreasonable to cut its own "cake" bigger and infringe on the maritime rights and interests of neighboring countries.
Naturally, we in China were the first to stand up against it. China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately responded, pointing out that the Philippines' move violated China's sovereignty and jurisdiction over the Nansha Islands and violated international conventions, and that the relevant UN agencies were not qualified to hear the Philippine case. China's response was simply a slap in the face to the Philippines!
But then again, the Philippines is not without its bitterness. It and Malaysia have been entangled for years over the ownership of Sabah's territory. Malaysia has always insisted that Sabah is its territorial sovereignty, while the Philippines has blindly tried to carve this territory to its own territory, so there is a territorial dispute between the two countries.
From China's point of view, what the Philippines has done this time has undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. Because the expansion area demarcated by it has completely included some of our islands and reefs in the Nansha Islands, it flagrantly violates our territorial sovereignty. Therefore, China firmly opposes the Philippines' arrogant practices and is safeguarding peace and stability in the South China Sea and defending its national interests.
However, to the surprise of the Philippines, in addition to China's tough response, Malaysia also responded with a fierce blow. Haha, this is really the best thing to come!
Foreign Minister Mohammad · Hasan of Malaysia has openly expressed his strong protest against the "submission of the Southern Overseas Continental Shelf" submitted by the Philippines to the United Nations Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf and has sent an official note to the United Nations. Not only that, Hasan also bitterly stated that Malaysia will never give up, and if the Philippines insists on advancing, Malaysia will continue to escalate its actions and always resort to the international tribunal.
Judging from the rhetoric alone, Malaysia is already angry at the Philippines and grinning its teeth. In fact, the two countries have been entangled in the sovereignty of Sabah for a long time. The Philippines' sneaky demarcation of the sovereignty boundary line into the hinterland of Sabah is nothing short of a blatant provocation and deliberate violation of Malaysia's territorial sovereignty. Now that Malaysia has been exposed like this, the fox tail of the Philippines has completely exposed its stuffing.
Seeing that Malaysia has shown its naked "fangs", the Philippines has completely provoked Malaysia this time. Malaysia, which has always been low-key, rarely made tough words this time, which shows that this time it is determined to compete with the Philippines. For the Philippines, this is undoubtedly worse than the worse, and another resounding slap in the face.
In fact, if we take a closer look at the recent actions of the Philippines, it is not difficult for us to find its conspiracy to steal and change pillars. For example, combined with United States' previous unilateral proposal to demarcate the limits of the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles, followed by the Philippines' approach, and Japan's subsequent decision to expand the continental shelf by 120,000 square kilometers, it is easy to find that this is a big game of chess that the "United States, the Philippines and Japan" have long agreed upon. They are blocking each other's east wind, supporting and endorsing each other, obviously to gain more maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea.
