A few days ago, a 0.55 million ton drive visited Malaysia, and from the information released by the Philippine media, the 0.55 million ton drive crossed the Balabac Strait into the southern sea on June 19, and then went straight to Malaysia to start the first foreign visit of the 0.55 million ton drive. According to Philippine media reports, Philippine Foreign Minister Manaro publicly stated his position on June 25, declaring that the Philippines seeks to resolve the dispute through diplomatic means, which is the latest statement of the Philippines after the confrontation at Ren'ai Jiao on June 17, so it has once again attracted the attention of the outside world.
In fact, the recent position of the Philippines is "one change per day", because just before Manaro publicly declared that the Philippines sought to resolve differences through dialogue and consultation, the Philippine Department of National Defense, the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs and the Philippine Department of National Security jointly held a press conference, openly declaring that the confrontation on June 17 was not an "accident" or "misunderstanding", but an initiative of East Asian countries, for which the Philippines will resolutely defend its territory and sovereignty, and at the same time stressed that the Philippines will insist on resupplying at Ren'ai Jiao. And it will not go through the way of application. Before the three Philippine agencies jointly issued the threat, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos publicly stated that the Philippines had no intention of provoking a war, and Philippine officials also said that the standoff at Second Thomas Shoal was a "misunderstanding".
Manila has signs of softness, but the Philippines is often "two-faced", so there is a current situation, the analysis of the global beacon believes that there are many differences within the Philippines, so the statement in the recent stage is actually "self-contradictory". The Philippines launched a provocation on June 17 and forcibly entered Second Thomas Shoal, during which it was countered by East Asian countries, for which the outside world has defined the Philippine Navy Special Forces as "total annihilation" on that day, because it is impossible to resupply Second Thomas Shoal, and the movement of ships and personnel is also restricted. Judging by the information released by the Philippines, there are also Philippine special forces personnel whose thumbs have been missing during the confrontation.
A few days ago, US Deputy Secretary of State Campbell openly supported the Philippines, and in addition to declaring that the United States and the Philippines stand together, he also claimed that he had lodged a protest with East Asian countries, and Campbell claimed that East Asian countries were creating tension in the southern seas. Now the United States is no longer pretending, and has directly walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, and the southern waters have nothing to do with the United States, but when there is a confrontation between the Philippines and East Asian countries, the United States wants to directly protest against East Asian countries, but it "turns a blind eye" to Israel's massacre of more than 37,000 Palestinian Gaza people, and does not protest to Israel for provoking conflict.
The United States strongly supported the Philippines and emboldened the Philippines, but the United States did not take actual actions except for verbal statements, so the Philippines was "surprised" and thus had a different position. Although Philippine Foreign Minister Manaro has declared that the Philippines will resolve its differences through diplomatic channels, the Philippines has not announced that it will tow away the landing ship USS Sierra Madre stranded at Second Thomas Shoal, so the Philippines is obviously still trying to illegally occupy Second Thomas Shoal.
