The controversy over the issue of the South Chinese Sea has come after days of starting of ASEAN ministerial meeting, by implying between Philippines and China.
The Minister of China had delivered to warn the conflict-linked nations in Southeast Asia that not to seek for any third party to interfere in this conflict; otherwise it may lead to a confrontation. A warning of the Foreign Minister came just several days amid the event of co-military maneuvers holding between Philippines and America near archipelago. China still continue to warn Philippines through its editorial which has issued in the news column —said that if Philippines still make trouble with China so it will attack back inevitably. Responded to this editorial, the foreign minister of Philippines has lashed out and described as it was lacking of accountability and had alleged that China has been using armed forces to threaten to other countries. The foreign minister of Philippines specified that the Chinese sea conflict must be a priority case for the ASEAN meeting agenda to tackle properly. Brunei is also a nation which involved in this Chinese south sea conflict. Keep in mind that there are 4 countries among ASEAN country, Philippines is one who always shows aggressive voice against China.
Actually, there are two nations which always stand out to protest out of those conflict-linked nations, Vietnam and Philippines. Vietnam used to have bitter experiences about the armed forces clash in the past in light of claiming the island located in the Chinese south sea. In this battlefield, Vietnam was heavily hit by China. That is why all the time; Vietnam stands out to face carefully. Philippines is always prominent in protesting against China by relying on the U.S.A back up because the Obama’s administration issued a foreign policy to prioritize the Asia regions within increasing of more U.S navy deployment. Then, Philippines often demand U.S.A to have intervention in the confrontation between China and Philippines. There also had co-military maneuvers movement of Philippines-America around the contentious island in order to show its muscles to China.
In generally, all measures and steps of Philippines in a confrontation with China are indicating a pivoting on America. Observers estimate that somehow and someday the spreading of conflict would be escalating and erupts as war, they are not sure that America will come into to fight against China to assist Philippines.
In international relation, they always have got slogan said that “There is no friend but only interests” The interests of America is hundreds of billions dollars in business to China. That is not clear whether America will help Philippines to fight and occupy a small island.
