Today, December 25, Chinese state media accused the Philippines of regularly violating China's borders in the South China Sea. This was reported by UNN with reference to Reuters.

Details

Chinese media emphasize that the Philippines relies on US support to constantly provoke China, and this "extremely dangerous" behavior is seriously damaging regional peace and stability.

In addition, China's People's Daily stated that Washington often uses its defense treaty with Manila to "intimidate" China, openly supporting the Philippines' violation of Chinese sovereignty and "inflating security concerns."

Against the backdrop of such statements in the media, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said that China is ready to resolutely defend its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.

Nevertheless, the door of dialogue with China remains open. We are ready to work with the Philippines to properly address maritime issues through negotiations and consultations

- the Chinese official emphasized. 

Addendum

The deterioration of bilateral relations coincides with Manila's moves to strengthen military relations with Japan and the United States, its former colonial power and defense ally for seven decades.

Also this month, the United States sent a warship to the disputed area, where China and the Philippines have had several naval confrontations. 

For reference

China considers almost the entire South China Sea to be its territory. Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam also claim part of the sea area. In 2016

The International Court of Arbitration in The Hague has recognized some of China's claims as illegal. However, China does not recognize this decision.

In this regard, incidents between Chinese and Philippine vessels in the region occur regularly. The United States has repeatedly emphasized that it will defend the Philippines in the event of an armed attack under the 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty.

Recall

China will continue military pressure on the Philippines amid a sovereignty dispute in the South China Sea. This was stated by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi after a conversation with his Philippine counterpart.
