The Sino-Philippine negotiating table has not yet come down, and the Philippine military has escalated rogue methods

Before the Sino-Philippine negotiating table was lowered, the Philippine Navy changed its face, saying that it was ready to deal with China's "new tricks". Playing scoundrels has become a "panacea" for the Philippines, and the Chinese side is not accustomed to it at all, and the big move has already been prepared, as long as the Philippine side does not know how to raise it, the Chinese side will immediately take action.

China-Philippines meeting

A few days ago, China and the Philippines held a bilateral meeting in Beijing on the South China Sea issue. Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Chen Xiaodong and Philippine Deputy Foreign Minister Lazaro attended the meeting. The two sides discussed a number of recent incidents in the South China Sea, and the Chinese side said that China will continue to firmly safeguard its sovereignty, and that the South China Sea issue is China's principle and bottom line, especially the Sembin Reef issue, and China urges the Philippine side to immediately withdraw the relevant vessels.

Lazaro posted a photo of her handshake with Chen Xiaodong on social media, saying that the two sides agreed to continue to discuss areas of cooperation, including the China-Philippines hotline mechanism and marine science and technology cooperation between the two countries. She stressed that concrete ways to reduce tensions would be explored.

Judging from the press release between the two sides, although the two sides did not reach a significant advance in this meeting, the two countries have indeed made corresponding progress in communication and exchanges.

For the current tension between the two sides, communication is indeed an issue that needs to be resolved urgently, and the two sides have also expressed an attitude of "properly handling differences".

However, the Philippine side's move is contrary to the "proper handling of differences", and the Philippine Navy spokesman Trinidad said that the Philippine side has formulated emergency measures against China, but it has not disclosed specific measures.

Trinidad distorted the facts, saying that China continues to "harass" Philippine vessels, so the Philippine side will take more commensurate measures. He stressed that in the event of an escalation, the Philippine Command is well aware of what to do.

Trinidad said that now the Philippine Navy is making every effort to ensure its position in the South China Sea, and the Philippines is betting more on the so-called "exclusive economic zone".

He particularly stressed that regardless of whether the government will work with "partner countries" to resolve the South China Sea issue, the Philippine armed forces will resolutely carry out government orders, and the Philippine Navy is conducting military exercises with relevant countries to further hone the skills of the Philippine Navy.

Obviously, the Philippine military is ready to carry out the provocative actions of the scoundrels to the end. Backtracking is already the norm in the Philippines, and China is naturally well versed in Philippine tactics and has long been prepared.

A few days ago, the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines was interviewed, and the Philippine media asked whether the Chinese side would forcibly tow the Philippine ship if the Philippine side refused to evacuate the relevant ships. The spokesperson said that China will take resolute measures, and China's territorial sovereignty, maritime rights and interests, as well as the seriousness of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, need to be resolutely defended by China.

It can also be seen from the questions of the Philippine media that the Philippine side is indeed a thief, and is still unwilling to drive away the relevant ships despite repeated warnings from the Chinese side. Nowadays, the Chinese side is too lazy to play with words, and the "decisive measures" have already demonstrated China's attitude, and it can be seen that China has long been prepared in this regard, perhaps by directly towing away the ships illegally detained by the Philippine side, or by using water cannons to drive them away, or by taking a tougher approach.

China's position is very clear: whether at the negotiating table or on the surface of the South China Sea, China's firm position on defending national sovereignty will not change. The Philippine side's "face-changing trick" will not confuse China, and no matter what means the Philippine side resorts, China is ready to completely smash its plot.
