Philippines is playing with fire!
Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao reported on May 1st saying, "The Philippines is preparing to deepen its military cooperation with Taiwan. Both sides are negotiating the standardized passage of warships through the Taiwan Strait, and may conduct joint military exercises in the future. This move may change Manila's strategic situation in the South China Sea and further escalate tensions between China and the Philippines."
In recent years, the Philippines has been constantly making small moves on the South China Sea issue, frequently provoking incidents, and inviting trouble, bringing great impact to regional peace and stability. Now, it is even reaching out to the Taiwan issue, openly colluding with the 'Taiwan independence' forces, attempting to play with fire on this sensitive issue, which is undoubtedly overestimating its own capabilities and extremely foolish.
The actions of the Philippines this time may be incited and supported by the United States behind the scenes. The Taiwan issue has always been at the core of China's core interests. In response to the provocations from the Philippines, the Chinese side will certainly take firm and effective measures to counteract them. If the Philippines continues to provoke, it will eventually suffer the consequences.
