Why did China and the Philippines start the confrontation?

Nanhai Zhudao has abundant marine food, attracting a large number of birds to breed here, there are about 1,500 kinds of fish, many of which have extremely high economic value, in the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century, the South China Sea discovered rich oil and gas resources, and then found that the South China Sea contains an objective quantity. With the progress of science and technology and the deepening of marine development, the priceless "combustible ice" in the South China Sea has very broad development prospects and huge utilization value. Contradictions arise from this.

The economy of the Philippines is very poor, so it stirs up Scarborough Shoal to divert domestic contradictions. If China fights, it will only be temporary, and it will lose a lot.

The chips will appear to be passive, and if the economic blow is made, it will be more difficult for the Philippines, which is already in a sluggish economy, to develop. This is far more effective than force.

China has banned travel to the Philippines. Stop importing Philippine bananas. Mango also prohibits Filipino personnel from working in Hong Kong or the mainland.

Thinking Rationally China is indeed stronger than the Philippines The Chinese leader has great wisdom.

3000 chengguan compete for dominance all over the world. What is the Philippines =-=

The main thing is to fight for resources because of Scarborough Shoal.

The U.S. garrison in the Philippines understands the Philippines wrongly, and doesn't look at a child who has just entered elementary school and dares to grab something with an adult?

The main contradiction is that the two sides are at loggerheads over the territorial issue. The Philippines still occupies eight of China's islands and reefs. That is, Mahuan Island, Nankey Island, Thitu Island, Xiyue Island, Beizi Island, Feixin Island, Commander Reef, and Ren'ai Reef.

Mahuan Island, announced in 1947 and 1983 as Mahuan Island. In commemoration of Ma Huan, a translator who followed Zheng He to the West in the Ming Dynasty. Chinese fishermen have always called Da Luokong and Luokong. The island was occupied by the Philippines in 1970.

South Key Island, which was occupied by the Philippines after 1968. In 1994, there was a skirmish between the Chinese and Philippine navies off the South Key Island, in which two Philippine gunboats were sunk and several soldiers were killed. Some of the buildings on the island were destroyed, including a watchtower, after which the Philippines abandoned the island and remains uninhabited to this day.

Thitu Island is the second largest island in China's Nansha Islands, 800 meters long, 500 meters wide, with an area of square kilometers (about 495 acres), and the name "Zhongye" is named to commemorate the Kuomintang Navy in 1946 to take over the sovereignty of Nansha Islands. Thitu Island has been occupied by the Philippines since 1971, and the island has garrisons, airports, shops, power plants, etc., and is the command center of the Philippine rule over the Spratly Islands.

Xiyue Island, one of the islands and reefs of the Nansha Islands, is about 700 meters long and covers an area of square kilometers (about 240 acres), the third largest island of the Nansha Islands, which has been occupied by the Philippines since 1963.

Beizi Island is the largest island located in the northern part of Nansha. The northern islands and reefs are closest to Hainan Island, with a total of 2 islands, 1 underwater sandbar, 2 reefs and 5 dark sands. Beizi Island has been occupied by the Philippines since 1971.

Feixin Island is located in the northern part of the Nansha Islands, about 5 nautical miles north of Mahuan Island. In 1970, Fitzin Island was illegally occupied by the Philippine authorities.

Commander Reef, which was illegally occupied by the Philippines in 1980.

Ren'ai Reef, within the range of 9 degrees 39-48 minutes north latitude and 115 degrees 51-54 minutes east longitude, the reef plate of this atoll is not continuous, but disconnected. The northern half of the atoll is connected in a semicircle, and the southern half is broken into several segments. Therefore, the entrance gate is open to the south, and 35-ton fishing boats can sail into the lake basin.

Sponge atolls are exposed at low tide in most reefs. In 1947, the name was announced as Ren'ai Dark Sand, and Chinese fishermen have always called it "Broken Joint", and in 1983, Ren'ai Reef was announced as the standard name. On 9 May 1999, the Philippine Navy drove a large dilapidated landing ship onto the reef and achieved "de facto occupation" of the reef under the pretext of running aground and beaching.

The main thing is territorial disputes, the Philippines used to be a colony of Western countries, so the Philippines has been a thoroughly anti-China country from the past to the present, and if you want to vote, you must provoke China in the South China Sea to win voter support.

First of all, to see this incident clearly, we must first review the previous Scarborough Shoal incident.

In order to seek the support of the Philippine military chief of staff, he gave the chief of staff nearly $400 million in benefits in the first two years of his tenure, and promised to continue to give him $1 billion in benefits to win his continued support. Interestingly, the chief of staff is himself the boss of the largest oil company in the Philippines, and the Malapaya gas field under this oil company is already facing depletion. Therefore, Aquino III wanted to borrow the chicken to lay eggs, and use the gas oil fields belonging to our Chinese Lile Bank to illegally develop and give them to the chief of staff.

Aquino III dared to commit such a stupid act because he misunderstood the form.

The first mistake comes from his belief that China has always been more patient and restrained with the outside world, but he does not know that China's patience and restraint have a bottom line, and breaking through the bottom line will never be tolerated, and as China's influence grows, China's voice will also increase, and the nine-dash line planned by China will never tolerate a national challenge like the Philippines.

Second, he mistook himself, he thought that by taking advantage of the United States' strategic focus to return to Asia, he could reap the benefits, and he could have the United States, a big backer, to help him at any time, but in fact the United States did not give him enough help, and the world saw it clearly, in fact, the status of the Philippines in the eyes of the United States is just this weight. In fact, the United States would have helped Aquino III for his corrupt behavior.

Therefore, the outcome of the Scarborough Shoal incident is obvious to all, and Aquino and his Filipino stealing chickens and rice did not come to fruition.

After the Scarborough Shoal incident, the problem in front of the Philippines was even greater, and it was good that there was no such thing, but after this incident, the Philippines found that it could not get the support of the United States, which made him sit on pins and needles, and the Philippines desperately wanted to regain the support of the United States, or more support.

So he came up with this trick.

On May 9, the Taiwanese fishing boat Guangxing 28 was operating in the overlapping waters of Taiwan and the Philippines, and was shot by the Philippine **** and chased for one hour, resulting in the death of a crew member.

Because Taipei and the Philippines have a well-known relationship with the United States, the Philippines has gone so far in order to drag the United States in mediation, hoping to make the United States re-examine the importance of the Philippines in order to safeguard the interests of the Philippines in the future. In fact, this is to remedy the Philippines' damaged interests in the Scarborough Shoal incident. Everything is ** the stupidity of Aquino and the Philippines**.

The Taiwanese fishing boat "Guangxing 28" was shot at by the Philippines about 180 nautical miles southeast of Eluanbi, Pingtung County, killing one crew member and losing power on the boat. After shooting and killing the crew surnamed Hong, the Philippines continued to chase and strafe Taiwanese fishing boats. The ship escaped for more than an hour, but the equipment on board was badly damaged!

At 10 a.m. on May 9, a Philippine law enforcement vessel shot and killed a Taiwanese fisherman in the overlapping waters of 170 nautical miles southeast and east of Eluanbi. Ma Ying-jeou issued an ultimatum to the Philippines on the evening of the 11th, putting forward four major demands, including a formal apology, compensation for losses, a thorough investigation of the facts as soon as possible, severe punishment, and the start of negotiations on the "Taiwan-Philippines Fisheries Agreement" as soon as possible.
