Xinhua News Agency reported tonight (August 31): "The Philippine military has recently established a 'Forward Operating Base' (FOB) near the Luzon Strait close to Taiwan, enhancing its 'Archipelago Defense' capabilities. The Philippine military said that this forward operating base is close to Taiwan and holds an important strategic position."

[Witty] Comment: The Philippines setting up a 'Forward Operating Base' in the Luzon Strait aims to strengthen its 'Archipelago Defense', but in reality, it is targeting China, cooperating with external forces to create a geopolitical encirclement. This reckless act not only exposes its short-sightedness of acting as a pawn for external powers, but also drags the Philippines into a military confrontation vortex. The lessons of history are clear; those who play with fire will be burned. If they persist in their course, they will eventually become victims of great power games.
