After a year of tossing in the direction of Renai Reef, the Philippines finally realized that it was not unable to do this.In the past year, the Philippines has tossed in Renai Reef almost every half a month, trying to make the South China Sea issue in this way, causing an international perspective, leaving an impression of "South China Sea is a disputed waters".Decances Chinas legal sovereignty in the South China Sea.
However, Chinas play is very clear, that is, no matter how tossing the Philippines, we only dispatched maritime police and ship law enforcement, and declare the benevolence reef to the international declaration.The act of China is Chinas internal affairs.
At the same time, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs also declare many times that Renai Reef is an indisputable territory in China. The Philippines should abide by the code of conduct of all parties in the South China Sea.
In this regard, the Philippines also changed the play
According to reports, the Philippine Senate passed a revision of the Philippine Sea Law.The bill was submitted by the President of the Maritime Special Committee of the Senate, and there was a very important sentence in it, "All artificial islands built in the Philippine Economic Zone are owned by the Philippine government."
In other words, according to the boundaries of the Philippines to the South China Sea waters, all islands and reefs in the South China Sea exclusive economic zone are its legal territories, including artificial islands.
If this method and picker, the entire Nansha Islands, including the Bi Bi Reef, Meiji Reef, and Yongshu Reef, which are stationed by the PLA, have become its territory.
It can be seen that the Philippiness ambitions are far more than Renai Reef and Huangyan Island, but the entire South China Sea.
In addition to passing this bill, the Philippine military and police departments are also frequent actions. The Coast Guard, Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Bureau and other departments have sent law enforcement vessels to try to strengthen Huangyan Island.
In terms of combination, the Philippine legislature passed by this bill is to provide a legal basis for its illegal law enforcement in the South China Sea.
After the draft of the "Sea Law", in the future battle of the South Island Reef, the Philippines can also take thisThe bill says that the ship is "law enforcement" in an exclusive economic area.
Take a step back. With this plan, in the future, in the South China Sea issue negotiations, it is also equivalent to a chip to bargain with China.
However, one thing in the Philippines did not figure out
There is no persuasion internationally, and it cannot deny Chinas sovereignty in the South China Sea.
And, China has established a powerful island reef system in the South China Sea.Real -time monitoring of ships and aircraft in this area can dispatch sea and air forces at any time.
Faced with such a strong strength in China, the Philippines cross -border provocations seemed to be powerless every time, and it is difficult to pose a substantial threat to China.
Because of this, China has the confidence to declare to the international sovereignty to the South China Sea.The Philippines needs to understand that what you want to get on the negotiating table must have the strength to get on the battlefield.There is no strong sea and air forces as backing. It is difficult to change the reality of power comparison by legal statements and positions alone. Try to "recapture" the South Island Reef through legislation, which is tantamount to dreaming of dreams.
To put it bluntly, this move in the Philippines is more due to the needs of domestic politics.Through legislative methods, the sovereignty of China in the South China Sea is publicly challenged. The Philippines may want to take this opportunity to speculate on the South China Sea issue and show its tough stance on sensitive issues such as "national sovereignty" to win political prestige and support at home and abroad.
From this perspective, the bills proposal is not only to China
