New Cartoon Review: Supporting the Philippines’ provocative behavior, who is making trouble in the South China Sea?

　　In recent times, the Philippines has repeatedly caused troubles in the South China Sea and continued to infringe and provoke infringements and provocations in the Ren'ai Reef of China's Nansha Islands. On March 23, the Philippines once again broke its promise and sent a supply ship and two coast guard ships to illegally invade the waters adjacent to Second Thomas Shoal. In fact, what the Philippines is replenishing this time is not living supplies at all, but construction materials to repair and reinforce illegal "beach-based" warships in an attempt to build permanent outposts on China's uninhabited islands and reefs. The Chinese Coast Guard once again took control measures in accordance with the law to defeat the Philippines' infringement and provocation attempts.

　　However, the Philippines confuses right and wrong and beats the odds. A spokesman for the Philippine Coast Guard posted on social media slandering the normal law enforcement behavior of the Chinese Coast Guard. U.S. State Department spokesman Miller immediately issued a statement expressing solidarity with its ally Philippines and blaming China. This is not the first time that the United States has supported the Philippines' violations and provocations. The United States has repeatedly issued statements accusing China after the Philippines' provocations were dealt with on the spot by China, and has also frequently threatened China with the implementation of the "U.S.-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty".

　　The Philippines and the United States have their own agendas in colluding. The Philippines attempts to seek personal gains in the South China Sea with the support of the United States, while the United States attempts to undermine China's relations with regional countries by hyping up the South China Sea issue in order to achieve its geopolitical goal of containing and containing China. The Philippines and the United States have bad intentions and have caused serious harm to regional peace, stability, prosperity and development.

　　The United States is not a party to the South China Sea issue and should not frequently reach out to muddy the waters in the South China Sea. The Philippines should not put itself in a dangerous situation and become a "chess piece" of major powers outside the region. Historical lessons have long shown that those "chess pieces" who are willing to serve as pawns for the United States eventually become "abandoned pawns."
