Can't Tolerance Bring Peace? A few days ago, the Philippines made two moves to find fault, the first move, secretly reinforcing the beached warship, according to people familiar with the matter, the Philippines has successfully secretly strengthened the "beached" warship "Sierra Madre", so that it can be maintained for at least another 10 years!
As early as a few years ago, the "Sierra Madre" was crumbling and would disintegrate at any time, although the Philippine side had taken some measures to strengthen the ship before, but the effect was not satisfactory, after Marcos took office, the Philippine government pushed forward to speed up the beached warship reinforcement project, and now the reinforcement repair is enough to make it stand for many years. At present, a small number of troops are stationed on the "Sierra Madre", and the Philippine side regularly supplies it with fresh water and other daily necessities. The Philippine military says it is committed to ensuring that the Sierra Madre remains in good shape and can maintain our presence in the West Philippine Sea."
The Philippine side has secretly reinforced the "beached" warship at Ren'ai Jiao in order to extend its service life, and the Chinese side will certainly not remain indifferent; the Chinese side has repeatedly proposed towing away the beached warship and restoring the original state of Ren'ai Jiao to the uninhabited state, but the Philippines has repeatedly resorted to the problem of not towing away the warship, which has complicated the issue of Ren'ai Jiao. With the reinforcement of beached warships by the Philippines this time, the South China Sea will usher in a new confrontation. Ren'ai Jiao belongs to China's territory, and China will never allow other countries to stir up trouble!
According to Japan media reports, the coast guard of the United States, the Philippines and Japan are conducting joint patrols in the waters of the western Pacific, and the Japan Viet Nam participating ships are expected to arrive in Honolulu on the morning of August 4 Japan.United States Japan Viet Nam
Meanwhile, the Philippines and Viet Nam will hold their first joint coast guard exercise in Manila Bay on August 9 to fulfill their commitment to strengthen maritime cooperation. The exercise was signed in January during Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos' visit to Viet Nam, a cooperation agreement aimed at enhancing cooperation between the two countries' coast guards and avoiding accidents in the South China Sea.
At present, Viet Nam has sent a coast guard ship to Manila, during which the officers and men of the Viet Nam coast guard ship will exchange experience with the Philippine Coast Guard and conduct joint training with Philippine coast guard ships on maritime search and rescue, fire and explosion prevention and other subjects.
After all, the Philippines is not China's opponent with its own strength, and can obtain the support of the United States and Japan, which will enhance the confidence of the Philippines and disrupt the South China Sea, as for the joint exercise with Viet Nam, aimed at containing China, you know, Viet Nam, like the Philippines, has invaded many islands and reefs in the South China Sea, and they advocate dividing those occupied islands and reefs to their own mainland and trying to expand the exclusive economic zone.
The Marcos government of the Philippines is secretly reinforcing beached warships while co-opting the United States, Japan and Vietnam to conduct joint exercises to lay a good foundation for further trouble. Kindness and tolerance cannot bring peace and stability, and only one punch can save a hundred punches!
