Chinese ships approached one of Philippine's major territories in the disputed South China Sea area in August. In the past, this has led to fierce debate in Manila, which could affect long term friendship. A fragile year between the two countries.
TAIPEI CITY - 
There are reports that Chinese ships have reached a major Philippine territory in the disputed South China Sea. Last August. This sparked hot debate in Manila, which could affect a fragile year-long friendship. Between the two countries.
Philippine parliamentarian Gary Alejano said on his Facebook page that Chinese ships set up a 3-meter flag on the island Sandy Cay, which was occupied by the Philippines, the Spratly Archipelago in the South China Sea in July. He added that China's navy warships and navy vessels had crossed the area on Aug. 2 This past.
China's actions in the South China Sea
Images collected by the Asia Pacific Transparency Initiative, a program of the Center for Strategic Studies and The USSR's International Affairs report shows nine Chinese fishing boats and one of the marines or cruise ships Two Chinese companies opened into the NL Thitu Island in the Spratly Islands, which are more than 100 Filipino citizens living there, on August 13 this year.
"This may be a test for the Philippine government," said Euan Graham, director of security at the Lowy Institute for International Policy in Sydney, Australia. To find out how the reaction was reactivated, how much reacted in the Philippine government system, but there was a negative reaction. There are very few.
"If you look at the actual situation, you can say that the door is open, if China wants to enter," Graham said. To the next stage.
China can prevent the Philippines from entering the island of Sancy Cay and then building structures on the island. "
The Philippines has not taken any action
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said he watched There is no reason to defend Sandy Cay unless China wants to invade the island. Philippine Foreign Secretary Gordon Brown said on Aug. 22 that China did not occupy the island of Sandy Cay. About 22 kilometers away from the islands of Thitu, the desert, and his department will not give up the island.
However, Supreme Court Superintendent Antonio Carpio in the Philippines has accused China of the aggression. His accusations so partly caused the reaction of government officials.
Millions of Chinese aid is a factor, with

Duterte's government and the Chinese government decisively disrupting their maritime disputes. Last year, China pledged $ 24 billion in aid and investment in the Philippines. None of the parties agreed to stop their actions in the South China Sea.
Researchers say Beijing, the largest claimant in the South China Sea, among the six That friendly ties to the Philippines will prove that it can settle maritime disputes without the need. There are third party interventions. In July 2016, the World Arbitration Court ruled in connection with a former Philippine president's claim that China's claim About 90 percent of the sea surface area of ​​3 million square miles is not legally valid. Beijing rejected Beijing's decision.
Vietnam has also been involved with China over maritime issues since the 1970s. Since 2010, China has impeded all maritime claimants and the Washington administration by increasing land grabs. And then installed a military base on some islets. Countries involved in the claims of maritime claims value the sea as bunkers of oil, gas, fish and An important tourist route.
"China wants to keep up the picture," said Collin Koh, a marine security researcher at Nanyang University of Technology in Singapore. Will be better. "

Many Filipinos are concerned
Analysts now see Philippine politicians trying to find a decent interpretation to fill. The suspicions of people in China as they keep their ties with China.
Eduardo Araral, professor of public policy college at the National University of Singapore, said that for now, China may withdraw Lowe, and the Philippines may have talks with the ambassador. "As China realizes that Judge Antonio Carpio is watching over them, they can not continue to do anything," Araral said. That it is doing. They can not fool the public by saying good words to the Philippines and attacking behind them. "
Araral said it was unclear whether Chinese activities near Sandy Cay were organized by the Chinese government or No local officials.
The Philippines may have to respond in some ways
Last year, China overthrew Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte by docking at Benham Rise, a lowland plain Up in the Pacific Ocean of the Philippines, prompting President Duterte to veto control over 10 islands Spratly Islands it occupies.
Activities that took place in April did not affect the overall relationship between China and the Philippines.
Researchers say the lack of official resistance to China's actions on Sandy Cay can make China understand that Sandy Cay is owned by the Philippines and has banned the Philippines from entering the islands.
Oh Ei Sun, a professor of international studies at Nanyang University in Singapore, said: "Usually, what China will do is set limits. The border is a control or an influence. Whenever a boundary is meant to claim a territorial sovereignty, it is just a symbol Also. These activities will soon make those islands become China-occupied sovereignty. "
Oh Ei Sun added that the strong resistance of the Philippines to China's maritime action may push Beijing to withdraw Its investment comes from the Philippines. Duterte is looking for help from China and Japan to build new railways and infrastructure in the six-year term of his tenure. Mr.
Graham said China could build some structures on Sandy Cay. China has built a base for fighter jets on major islands in the Spratly Islands, such as Fiery Cross, Mischief Reef, and Subi Reef. According to the US Center for Strategic and International Studies, CSIS.
Merkel gave this China map to Xijinping.
