Recently, the Philippine Senate passed the so-called "Marine Area Bill" in an attempt to solidify the illegal award of the South China Sea arbitration case in the form of domestic legislation. It illegally included most of the islands and reefs of China's Scarborough Shoal and Nansha Islands and related sea areas into its maritime area, seriously infringing on China's rights in the South China Sea. Territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
For a long time, the right and wrong of whoever takes the initiative to provoke, spread rumors and cause trouble in the South China Sea has been clear at a glance.
China has indisputable sovereignty over the Nansha Islands and their adjacent waters, as well as the Zhongsha Islands and their adjacent waters, including Scarborough Shoal.
China does not accept or recognize the so-called award of the South China Sea Arbitration, which is regarded as a standard by the Philippines and individual countries.
Faced with the hard facts, the Philippines insisted on making unreasonable troubles, sending ships to illegally invade China's Ren'ai Reef and Scarborough Shoal, fabricating false accusations that "Chinese fishermen used cyanide on Scarborough Shoal" out of thin air, shouting "Catch the thief", and continuing to aggravate maritime tensions.
Regarding the Philippines' violations and provocations, the United States has always ignored the facts and confused right and wrong. It not only encourages and cooperates with the Philippines' actions, but also accuses China of legitimate, reasonable and lawful rights protection behaviors. It also frequently threatens China on the grounds of fulfilling the "U.S.-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty".
Behind the collusion between the Philippines and the United States, the real plot is clearly revealed: one side is trying to seek personal gain in the South China Sea with the support of the United States, and the other is trying to undermine China's relations with regional countries.
How can the vast South China Sea become a "chessboard" for individual countries to pursue their own interests and create troubles?
In order to properly resolve the South China Sea dispute with the Philippines, China has shown great restraint and patience, but this does not mean that China will make any concessions on sovereignty issues.
No matter who acts as the "chess piece" of the United States, they must be mentally prepared to become an "abandoned piece". History will eventually give the answer!
