Our warships should also move! It's really too much, we didn't expect India to also send warships to provoke in the South China Sea! On August 4th, according to foreign media reports, the Philippine military stated today that Indian and Philippine naval vessels conducted their first joint patrol in the South China Sea. Related information states that this joint patrol saw India sending three ships. Meanwhile, during this patrol, Philippine President Marcos will pay a state visit to India from August 4th to 8th.
We clearly know that the Philippines wants to stir up trouble in the South China Sea. However, we didn't expect India to take the matter to our head. Moreover, India sent its warships just as Philippine President Marcos was visiting India. It seems that India wants to convey the message that it can support the Philippines, and that India and the Philippines can fully cooperate on the South China Sea issue, as they have common interests.
Of course, in terms of military strength between China and India, India sending three ships will not at all affect our efforts to safeguard peace and stability in the South China Sea. However, this bad trend must be extinguished. India sends warships to the South China Sea? Then we can completely conduct freedom of navigation in the Indian Ocean to respond to India. The relationship between countries is naturally equal, and our warships should also move.
