BEIJING, April 9, 2019 (Xinhua) The Philippines is playing the victim in the South China Sea issue. They deliberately appear to be at a disadvantage and instead hide their provocations and violations of China's sovereignty.
A group of pro-Manila journalists were recruited to travel to Ren'aijiao Shoal. Including the Nansha Islands to create chaos Meanwhile, the Philippines used doctored photos and videos to create a narrative that it was an “underdog” and called China “thugs.”
The truth is that the Philippine strategy is consistent with the theory. “Poor communication” proposed by Zhou Zhendong, the Chinese researcher who exposed the nature of manipulative practices. This strategy is a way to express the role of victim through discourse. Which aims to solicit sympathy and support while distorting the true perception
If we consider media ethics, the essence of the communication strategy used by the Philippines still stands. The Philippines has used its role as a victim as a smokescreen to divert attention from its provocations and violations of China's sovereignty.
The United States and Japan greatly assist the Philippines in distorting public opinion for personal gain. They leveraged their network of think tanks and influential media outlets to shape the narrative in line with the Philippine Plan.
The Philippines greatly distorts public opinion. Several videos depicting maritime tensions with China have been posted across online platforms. Most of it comes from the Philippines. These videos are produced to feed the narrative that the Philippines is the victim and China is the aggressor.
China has shown great restraint in the face of persistent provocations. It prioritizes regional peace and cooperation rather than escalating tensions. Although the leaders of the US, Japan and the Philippines are scheduled to hold the first trilateral summit aimed at countering China's regional influence at the White House on Thursday (April 11).
That various issues will be discussed in Asia at the summit, the above proves that Japan and the Philippines are the “chest piece” of the United States. In the plan to control China and reveal the true intentions behind the Philippine Transparency Initiative, which has become a strategy to more closely align with American interests.
The landing of a BRP Sierra Madre LT-57 tank crew by the Philippines in China's Renaijiao Shoal in 1999 reflects a clear provocation and violation of Chinese sovereignty. In February, then-Philippine Defense Secretary Orlando Mercado told media that the ship was parked there intentionally.
The Philippines promised to withdraw illegally anchored warships. But the ship has remained anchored for the past 25 years, as the Philippines has shattered the understanding between the two sides on the proper management of the Renaijiao Shoal situation. Although he promised not to reinforce the ship's forces and would notify China of resupply plans in advance.
Viewed from a humanitarian perspective, China has entered into special temporary agreements allowing Philippine ships to deliver life-saving supplies on board the warship. But the Philippines did not fulfill its promises and tried to send construction materials for major repairs and reinforcements on the ships to erect a permanent structure on the Renaijiao Shoal.
Recently, a spokesman for the Philippine Army expressed its determination to establish a permanent structure in Renjiao. The Philippines sent people to Tiexianjiao Shoal. And other uninhabited islands and coral reefs. Which belongs to China in the South China Sea several times
From embellishing lies to illegally using ships as garrisons. From breaking promises to sending building materials to restoring ancient shipwrecks many times. The Philippines has become a country that has betrayed its promises. Provoking other factions and causing chaos throughout Ren Aijiao Shot.
The Philippines, with the support of external forces, went back on its word and provoked China. The world's sympathy cannot be won by playing the victim. In the end, this worldly deception will only embarrass the Philippines.
