The government of the Philippines has been highlighting China's actions in the South China Sea as part of a 'transparency initiative', but it has not deterred China's growing aggression. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasized the importance of avoiding rivalry in the South Pacific and stated that any attempt to provoke confrontation in the region does not serve the urgent needs of South Pacific island countries. China has provided assistance to Pacific island countries without political strings attached, and is ready to build a comprehensive strategic partnership with Papua New Guinea. There are concerns about Chinese PLA naval operations in the Philippines, with China indicating its intention to 'take the Second Thomas Shoal' and warning the US not to interfere in what it considers internal matters. Both China and the Philippines have reportedly reached common understandings on handling the situation at the Ren'ai Reef, with China warning that breach of commitments and continued provocation by the Philippines will backfire on the country itself.

Pay attention to Chinese PLA naval operations in the Philippines. China has already told US leadership that they will ‘take the Second Thomas Shoal’ and that the 🇺🇸 should not interfere with ‘internal’ Chinese matters. It will likely be THE flashpoint between China and the U.S. https://t.co/ElVp8BV7fk
