Singapore Lianhe Zaobao reported on the evening of April 3rd: "After US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel visited the allied country of the Philippines and promised to strengthen military support, China announced the arrest of three Filipino spies. Scholars interviewed believed that China's action was aimed at appropriately warning the Philippines and also a countermeasure against Manila's 'unfriendly actions' towards Chinese citizens in the Philippines."
Recently, the Philippines, presuming upon the support of the United States, has been acting recklessly and increasingly arrogantly. While the Chinese People's Liberation Army is conducting military exercises to deter 'Taiwan independence' and external interference forces, the Philippines brazenly claimed that its army is ready to deal with any sudden situation in the Taiwan Strait. This behavior is nothing but a farce of blind arrogance and overestimation of oneself. It believes that allying with the United States will allow it to act recklessly, but it has forgotten its own capabilities and will inevitably pay the price for its reckless actions. At this time, China's response is just right.
