Will the Philippines still play pawns though suffering heavy casualties?
Medias reported that U.S. and the Philippines started the joint military exercises for Shoulder to Shoulder and Simulation to Retrieve the Islands on April 4. Less than 3 days after start, they didn’t scare chickens but lost a handful of rice. An airborne soldier died after he jumped from the C-130 military plane made in America. It added a gray to the joint exercises.
This fact just confirmed the warn proposed by the Philippines folk group when protested the joint military excercises of U.S. and the Philippines on April 4. The protesters sharply criticised the authorities. They said that the joint military excercises of U.S. and the Philippines and various military agreements or treaties signed by U.S. and the Philippines only made the Philippines become pawns for Ameica’s interests in the Asia Pacific. The death of the airborne soldier just warned the Philippines authorities with his life not to play pawns for American own interests in the Asia Pacific.
America and Japan belong to “the Third Party” in the South China Sea issue. The closely involved parties can’t be puzzled. Any bilateral relationship between China and the neighboring countries of the South China Sea has nothing to do with America and Japan. Why are they so keen to make mischief? It is nothing more than using the normal geopolitical friction between neighboring countries and China to magnify contradictions and contain China, making himself walk leisurely in the Asia Pacific. We can see the military bases of U.S. in the Asia Pacific. Which base has brought benefits to the resident country? There is no one. On the contrary, what does it bring? It constantly complements and adds military spending. The friction between the army and the people brought about the social instability. And it stirred up contradiction between the involved countries with the rising China......
Just as the chairman of the student union of the Philippines, Banies says: the Aquino administration allowes foreign forces led by the United States to violate the Philippines sovereignty and territorial integrity wantonly, making the entire Philippines gradually reduce to the American military outpost in the Asia Pacific region. Such the third party, you let him enter the door, corresponding to let a thief openly live in your principal room. He steals things in your home. You even more help him carry goods. You still more help him count the money. America's ally, the European Union, is suffering from a crisis of cornerstone shaken, and being caught in the misery of economic decline, refugee crisis, and terrorist attacks.
The common destiny of China and ASEAN is growing and needs to be cared together. It can be said that China is the largest trading partner of any neighboring countries in the South China Sea. Their common intrests with China must be greater than the differences. It is clear among any neighboring countries of the South China Sea. Even the United States and Japan that oppose China the strongest will not give up the economic and trade cooperation with China. President Xi Jinping proposed the initiative to build the common destiny of China and ASEAN when he visited the South East Asia in 2013. After three years of efforts, the Silk Economic Belt and the Maritime Silk Road and the Asian Investment Bank have injected a strong force in it. At present, China has become the largest trading partner of ASEAN. China and ASEAN Free Trade Zone has become the largest free trade zone of developing countries, and being upgraded. In 2020, bilateral trade between China and ASEAN is expected to reach $1 trillion. Without exception, all the countries around the South China Sea benefit from China and share the dividend of China's development. The influence and strength of the common destiny is incomparable for the US's trans Pacific Free Trade Agreement TPP. In order to get the approval from Congress for the TPP agreement, Obama said China was equivalent to 800 pounds of gorillas when he remarked in Congress:” If we allow them to set the trade rules there, American enterprises and workers will be excluded.” You see. The United States is obviously using TPP and discords in countries around the South China Sea to exclude China for establishing America’s interests in the Asia and Pacific.
Malaysia sees the principle. It gives head-on statements to crack down on the false news about China-Malaysia conflicts forged by U.S. India, Vietnam and other countries don’t respond to the invitation of U.S.’s joint cruise in the South China Sea. But U.S. and Japan don’t give up their ideas. Besides butting in the South China Sea, Japan is also ready for highlighting the South China Sea issue in the G7 conference. Of course, U.S. will constantly use the geopolitical relationships of the neighboring countries to disturb China.
The common destiny of China and ASEAN has rooted, sprouted. And it is blooming and bearing fruits. It needs cares of ASEAN countries without distraction, letting it grow healthily. Any country of ASEAN is the branch and stem in the tree. If you leave the common destiny, you will be taken as firewoods burnt by the United States. Therefore, the neighboring countries of the South China Sea should see the principles. Make sure not to play pawns for U.S. and Japan as the Philippines, letting oneself suffer heavy casualties.
