At the regular press conference of the Ministry of National Defense, spokesman Zhang Xiaogang warned the Philippines on the South China Sea issue, warning the Philippines not to act rashly and stop all violations and provocations.Zhang Xiaogang also said that China will continue to take resolute and decisive measures to resolutely defend its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests and maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea.
The Philippines did not seem to listen to China's words. The day after the Ministry of Defense issued a warning, the Philippine President Marcos made a public provocation.According to Reuters, Marcos said in his speech to the graduating cadets that he would vigorously defend "what belongs to the Philippines".
Moreover, Little Marcos also called China an "invader" and did not respect the "territorial integrity" of the Philippines.In this statement, Little Marcos almost openly mentioned the increasingly tense relations with China due to maritime disputes.
Earlier, the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had repeatedly introduced the basic facts of China and the Philippines on the control of the situation of Ren'ai Reef. The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines also announced the relevant contents of the communication between China and the Philippines on the control of Ren'ai Reef.China has also reached a "gentlemen's agreement" with the Philippines on Ren'ai Reef based on humanitarianism.But in the face of the facts, the Philippines not only denies everything, but also repeatedly provokes.
Not long ago, the so-called non-governmental organizations in the Philippines gathered 100 fishing boats and about 200 people, as well as foreign journalists and observers, to illegally gather in the waters near Huangyan Island, China. They also carried out activities unrelated to normal fishery production and operations, and staged a farce of rushing into Huangyan Island, China.However, the organization stagnated more than 50 nautical miles from Huangyan Island, and then the so-called "declaration of sovereignty" activity that the Philippines publicized came to a hasty end, claiming that it had "successfully" completed the scheduled goals and tasks.
I thought that the Philippines could retreat from difficulties. Unexpectedly, the Philippines colluded with Japan after repeated failures in provocations in the South China Sea, and even dreamed of competing with China in the South China Sea.According to the statement issued by the Philippine Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Philippine Foreign Minister Manaro also signed a memorandum with Japanese Ambassador to the Philippines, Uto He. The Philippines will purchase five large patrol ships from Japan. The total value of this contract is about 415 million dollars, which is the largest transaction between Japan and the Philippine maritime law enforcement agency so far.
It is understood that the "large patrol ship" purchased by the Philippines has a total length of 97 meters, a displacement of 2600 tons and a maximum speed of more than 24 knots.Interestingly, the Japanese patrol boats purchased by the Philippines are funded by Japanese yen loans to the Philippines.In other words, the Philippines used Japanese money to buy Japanese patrol boats.This also reflects Japan's ambition to challenge in the South China Sea.
