To answer this question, it is necessary to analyze the interests of all parties

Concentrated on China, the United States, and the Philippines

The Philippines is a small country with limited foreign exchange reserves and industrial With inadequate facilities, insufficient population, and insufficient resources, why does he dare to provoke us? The reason is that he figured out the actual situation in this sea area and how to maximize his own interests. That is the boss behind him, the United States!

So why does the United States want to contain China in the South China Sea?

Henry Kissinger once said a famous saying:

If you control oil, you control all countries

If you control food, you Control all people

If you control currency, you control the entire world

It can be seen that in today’s world, the three most important points are oil, food and currency.

Then you think about it, who controls oil, food, and currency?

For food, the pricing power is in the hands of the big Western capitalists. For currency, the dominant currency in international trade is the US dollar (the issuing power is with the Federal Reserve, an American private company), and for oil, needless to say, you can buy it in the Middle East Take a look at the situation.

We are here specifically to look at oil.

Open the map of China and you will find that China wants to import oil from the Middle East. There are four routes (in my opinion).

First, go through Pakistan and take Pakistan-controlled Kashmir. But it requires climbing over mountains and ridges, and the journey is dangerous.

Second, taking the land railway to Europe is also a long journey and passes through many countries.

Third, the China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline bypasses the Strait of Malacca, but Myanmar is swinging between China and the United States, and there is also uncertainty.

The fourth, Malacca, is also the most important route.

By entering the Strait of Malacca, the South China Sea issue arises...

Therefore, for the United States, as long as it eliminates our country's influence in the South China Sea, it is equivalent to cutting off our country's most important Petroleum arteries, and in the age of petroleum, this was very important. The reason why the United States is working so hard is that it does not want to see a strong China.

A powerful China will be very harmful to the United States. Since China's reform and opening up, there has been some economic development, and the manufacturing industry (processing industry) is booming. As of last year, China's per capita GDP exceeded 5,000, but this is also a turning point.

Most countries will encounter a bottleneck after their national economy reaches this figure. Since most countries similar to ours are countries engaged in "intensive labor industries", as the economy With the development of the economy, per capita income has gradually increased, and labor costs have gradually increased, resulting in increasingly meager profits in the manufacturing industry. This is commonly known as the "middle-income trap", and the solution is the familiar "industrial transformation". The transition from a country with "intensive labor industries" to a country with other types of labor industries will enable it to obtain more benefits based on the same labor effort.

But there are two points to note:

The first point: "Industrial transformation" is not the creation of wealth, but the redefinition of wealth distribution. Let me use an analogy: for a car, the United States is responsible for the research and development technology and manufacturing of key parts and components, so as to obtain the greatest benefit, while China and India are responsible for the assembly, so as to obtain the least benefit. And when we "industrial transformation", it became like this: China and the United States competed with each other in R&D and key spare parts, competing for wealth, while India still assembles, but a car is still a car, there is no change .

I don’t know if you understand my analogy. In short, if China’s industrial transformation is successful, it will break the global division of labor established by the United States after World War II.

Second point: China has a population of more than 1.3 billion, while the population of developed countries is now less than 1.3 billion. In other words, if China enters the industry of developed countries after industrial transformation, then the population of developed countries will be According to my statement that ""industrial transformation" is not about creating wealth, but about redefining wealth distribution", it means that the wealth of developed countries has been diluted by half, and this is the case for Western countries led by the United States. I don't want to see it anyway.

As we all know, the "Occupy Wall Street" movement broke out in the United States. This movement itself was a protest against the uneven distribution of wealth in the United States. According to reporters' interviews, the demonstrators believed that the United States' conglomerates have occupied the United States. 70% of the wealth, but only 5% of their population. However, relying on the strong economy of the United States, the United States can maintain relative stability despite such uneven distribution of wealth.

And if China develops rapidly and seizes the American market, the domestic balance in the United States will immediately be broken. Americans cannot fail to see this, so they will inevitably contain China in every possible way.

The South China Sea issue is just one of a series of actions! !

Although it is a long story, what I want to say is that the Philippines is simply a little Luo Luo, not worth mentioning. If he dares to fire the first shot, it is estimated that the gods and Buddhas will not be able to protect him, and the people behind him The United States is our real opponent. As long as we break through the containment of the United States and develop ourselves, I bet the Philippines will naturally be scared!
