Philippines, US and Japan stir up trouble in the South China Sea, China responds!
Singapore's Straits Times reports today: "On Sunday (September 14), the Southern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army accused the Philippines of colluding with external countries to organize 'joint patrols,' undermining regional peace and stability, and called on the Philippine side to immediately stop provoking incidents in the South China Sea and escalating tensions, stating that bringing in external forces to support is destined to be futile."
On September 10, China legally announced the establishment of the Huangyan Island National Nature Reserve. The Philippines not only raised a "strong protest," but also on the 14th, through a military statement, claimed that it had conducted joint exercises with the US and Japan in the South China Sea, attempting to use external powers to support its position. In response to the provocations by the Philippine side, China quickly retaliated — the Southern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army has conducted routine patrols in the South China Sea from September 12 to 13, taking concrete actions to safeguard national sovereignty and the peace and stability of the South China Sea, and shattering the Philippines' fantasy of inciting trouble and causing chaos with the help of external forces.
