The US Navy CVN71 USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier has been far away from the South China Sea as early as June 13, and the USS Roosevelt has been on a combat cruise mission in the South China Sea for two months, and now it seems that there is a reason why the Roosevelt left the South China Sea. Now it is very clear that the Philippine Navy through the "special raid" method, in the early morning of June 17, through the "1 + 5" mode, tried to force the reef, and finally there was a scene of "catching turtles in the urn", the Philippine Navy kicked the iron plate, judging from the information released by the Philippine media, a rigid inflatable boat was punctured and damaged, a mother ship was forcibly towed, the remaining four inflatable boats were seized, and at least 8 automatic rifles were confiscated.
Judging from the information disclosed by foreign media, 19 Philippine Navy personnel were detained by the Chinese Coast Guard, and the Chinese Coast Guard later released the relevant personnel and vessels. Philippine media published photos on June 18, acknowledging that a Philippine Navy officer lost a thumbs up during the June 17 forcible entry into Ren'ai Jiao and was treated in a hospital. Philippine media have disclosed that the Philippines has been frustrated by the United States' failure to take measures, and it is obvious that the departure of the US Navy aircraft carrier USS Roosevelt from the South China Sea has already explained the attitude of the United States, and the United States does not dare to take action at the critical moment.
The Pentagon has repeatedly reaffirmed the so-called "U.S.-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty," declaring that if Philippine ships, personnel, and territory are attacked, the United States will activate the defense treaty and send troops to protect the Philippines. However, when the Philippine Navy personnel and ships were seized and the Philippine ships were punctured, the cowhide of the United States was punctured again, and the foreign media have disclosed the reasons for the position and attitude of the United States, according to the information released by the British media, the "US-Philippine Mutual Defense Treaty" between the United States and the Philippines was signed in 1951, and from the perspective of the territorial and territorial waters of the Philippines at that time, the Philippines did not have any definition of islands and reefs in the South China Sea, so the "US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty" There is no legal effect on the Philippines' current provocation in the South China Sea.
A British university has published a relevant research paper, claiming that the "US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty" cannot provide a legal basis for the United States to send troops to protect the Philippines, so the British media already have the feeling that the US military is looking for a way to make up for it. In fact, the UK has only recently published a paper on the subject, and there are already plans to "tailor" it for the Philippines and the United States. Although the United States has repeatedly claimed that the United States will provide security protection for the Philippines through a military alliance, if you dig deeper into the content of the alliance, you will find that there are many loopholes, and the Philippines' forcible occupation of islands and reefs in the South China Sea and its attempt to control Ren'ai Jiao and Scarborough Shoal were after the United States and the Philippines signed the alliance, so there will be many restrictions on the use of the alliance between the United States and the Philippines.
The Philippines has already paid the price for provoking China, and the Philippine Navy tried to "raid" through the night, and in the end it was "both people and stolen goods".
