Recently, a series of moves by the Philippines in the South China Sea, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, have caused ripples and made the future of this sea area full of uncertainties
Where does the "confidence" of the Philippines come from?
In recent years, the Philippines has taken frequent actions, not only frequently sending ships to the waters near China's islands and reefs to carry out provocative activities, but also actively attracting foreign forces to intervene in the South China Sea issue, trying to internationalize the South China Sea issue and gain more bargaining chips for itself
So why is the Philippines so "confident"?
In recent years, the United States has continuously strengthened its military presence in the Asia-Pacific region and actively rallied regional countries to confront China, which has given the Philippines the confidence to "fake the tiger", and the Philippines hopes to force China to make concessions on the South China Sea issue by holding United States' thighs
In addition, the Philippines is also trying to use the South China Sea issue to divert domestic contradictions, the Philippines' domestic economic development is slow, social problems are prominent, and the government hopes to divert the attention of the domestic people and consolidate its own rule by hyping up the South China Sea issue
The picture comes from the Internet
Behind the "short-lived linkage" between the United States and the Philippines
In order to support the Philippines, the United States also spared no effort to perform, and some time ago, the coast guards of the United States and the Philippines held a joint military exercise in the South China Sea, although the exercise lasted only five hours, but it was full of provocation
The exercise, ostensibly under the banner of "strengthening cooperation in maritime security and environmental protection," was in fact "known to passers-by." The location of the exercise was deliberately chosen in the South China Sea, and the content of the exercise also deliberately emphasized maritime law enforcement and responding to maritime emergencies, and its intentions against China were self-evident
The seemingly massive joint military exercise was more like a "self-directed" farce, in which Chinese coast guard vessels patrolled nearby waters to monitor the actions of the United States and the Philippines throughout the exercise, safeguarding China's sovereignty and security interests in the South China Sea
The bluff of the "paper tiger".
In order to embolden itself, the Philippines has recently begun to "buy, buy, buy" again, and it is reported that the Philippines plans to buy more BrahMos shore-based supersonic anti-ship missiles and deploy them on the islands of Palawan and Luzon facing the South China Sea
As an advanced supersonic anti-ship missile, the BrahMos missile does have a certain deterrent effect, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream that the Philippines can change the strategic pattern in the South China Sea region by relying on a few missiles
The picture comes from the Internet
The Philippines itself has very limited military strength and lacks an effective command system and combat experience, making it difficult to give full play to the combat effectiveness of the BrahMos missile
The Philippines relies heavily on external intelligence support and lacks independent reconnaissance and target designation capabilities, and in the event of a conflict with China, the BrahMos missile is likely to become an "untargeted" ornament
And most importantly, China has a strong military presence in the South China Sea to deal with any military threat from the Philippines, and if the Philippines dares to act rashly, it will be met with a resolute counterattack by the Chinese military
The future direction of China-Philippines relations
Despite the Philippines' constant provocations in the South China Sea, China has always exercised restraint and calm, and is committed to resolving disputes through dialogue and consultation
The decision between China and the Philippines to open a direct channel to the high-level offices of the two countries provides a new platform for the two sides to strengthen communication, enhance mutual trust, and properly handle maritime issues
China has always advocated the peaceful settlement of disputes in the South China Sea, and has worked with ASEAN countries to formulate the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea, making positive efforts to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea
The picture comes from the Internet
If the Philippines insists on going its own way and continues to act as a pawn of foreign forces, it will only harm its own interests and push the situation in the South China Sea to an even more dangerous brink
It is hoped that the Philippines will have a clear understanding of the situation, cherish the hard-won opportunities for peaceful development, and work with China to jointly safeguard peace and prosperity in the South China Sea
