Fish in muddy waters? Viet Nam demarcated the continental shelf in the South China Sea, and the Philippines responded: ready to engage for discussion and consultation

In fact, the Philippines has obtained a very favorable award for the Philippines through the illegal South China Sea Arbitration Tribunal, and now the Philippines is trying to take further action and has threatened to allocate the fishery resources of Scarborough Shoal through arbitration. Obviously, the Philippines has tasted the sweetness of non-France arbitration, because the relevant rulings can be constantly hyped, so as to establish a dominant position over China in public opinion. The Philippines has long used the so-called arbitration results to carry out "moral kidnapping" and has also tried to gain the support of the international community, and the United States has publicly supported the Philippines' claim, while also using arbitration as a matter.

According to Viet Nam's state media, Viet Nam has submitted a new application to the United Nations agency, Viet Nam has redrawn its continental shelf in the South China Sea, and the Philippines has responded to Viet Nam's actions. According to Philippine media reports, the Marcos administration of the Philippines announced its readiness to engage with Viet Nam to conduct relevant discussions under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The analysis of the Huanyu Beacon Line believes that the actions of the Philippines and Viet Nam are already de facto linkage, because before Viet Nam proposed the continental shelf delimitation plan, the Philippines had already submitted an application for a 350-nautical-mile continental shelf, so Viet Nam and the Philippines both had the rhythm of "fishing in troubled waters", and when tensions in the South China Sea escalated, the Philippines and Viet Nam took the initiative to "attack" and try to gain more initiative.

When the Philippines took the initiative to provoke, Viet Nam adopted a "quiet" island reclamation strategy, and after Viet Nam gained a foothold in the South China Sea, it was already expanding the scope of control by island reclamation. Viet Nam cooperation with European companies to expand the area of more than Viet Nam encroached islands and reefs through large reclamation vessels has obviously violated the "Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea Viet Nam" agreed to by many ASEAN countries. Viet Nam did not directly negotiate with China on the South China Sea issue, but wanted to put pressure on China in the international forum of the United Nations through joining forces with the Philippines and other countries, highlighting Viet Nam's sinister intention to use international public opinion to push Viet Nam to obtain more illegal benefits, just like the Philippines.

Viet Nam is very clear about the strategic direction of United States, and United States supports the Philippines' provocations in the South China Sea, and will also support Viet Nam challenging China's sovereignty in the South China Sea, so Viet Nam is gambling heavily on United States, which has an interaction with the Philippines, in fact, it is to divide the interests of the South China Sea through legal warfare. If China does not have enough strength, Viet Nam and the Philippines will be more unscrupulous in their provocations, but judging from the interaction between Viet Nam and the Philippines, Viet Nam and the Philippines also have a lot of self-confidence, and obviously overestimate their own strength and influence. Viet Nam and the Philippines are taking advantage of the West's general environment of containment and containment of China to "take advantage of the fire", and obviously underestimate China's determination to safeguard its territorial and sovereign integrity.

Whether it is the Philippines' application for a 350-nautical-mile continental shelf or Viet Nam's re-delineation of the continental shelf in the South China Sea, China has responded, and it is clear that Viet Nam is already challenging China's sovereignty and asking Viet Nam to return to the path of resolving differences through dialogue.
