The response of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is unprecedentedly severe, and the Philippines will surely pay the price. Has China's patience with the Marcos government reached its limit?

According to the Philippine "Manilla Times" columnist released the news, just this Tuesday, Lin Jiao Long, head of the island's internal and foreign affairs department, led a considerable delegation of Taiwanese companies, secretly appeared in the Philippines, in addition to attending the economic forum, and plans to meet with officials of the Philippine Ministry of Finance.

In response, Philippine Foreign Minister Lazaro responded that he did not know about Lin Jialong's visit to the Philippines, but admitted that there was indeed a delegation from Taiwan to the Philippines, but it was led by the executive vice president of the so-called "US-Taiwan Chamber of Commerce" and was a business-related visit.

At the same time, the island's foreign affairs department also issued a statement, still not talking about Lin Jialong's movements, but only saying that Huang Zhaoqin, deputy to the island's agricultural department, and others were accompanying Ma Luodan, vice president of the US-Taiwan Chamber of Commerce, to inspect the investment and trade environment in the Philippines.

From this it can be seen that the Philippines and Taiwan authorities think that it is possible to confuse things simply by not acknowledging or denying, but the Chinese side is determined that there is no room for ambiguity in the matter.

On August 29, the Foreign Ministry spokesman gave a rare response.

First, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed the fact that the Philippines has tolerated the fact that Lin Janhong has visited as the so-called head of the foundation, and condemned the Philippines to provide a stage for the ¡°Taiwan independence¡± separatist forces, seriously violating the basic norms of international relations and the commitments made by the Philippines on the issue of Taiwan.

It can be seen from this that China has obviously received conclusive factual evidence, and it is useless for the Philippines to avoid talking about it or play dumb. Moreover, with a little review, the Philippine foreign affairs department can fully see the customs clearance records and clearly know the itinerary of Lin Jialong and others. However, as foreign minister, Lazaro did not dare to respond positively, which further highlighted the Philippine government's desire to muddle through.

Secondly, the Philippines has recently been testing the Taiwan Strait issue and hollowing out the one-China principle. China has lodged solemn representations and strong protests.

What is ¡°wrong and wrong¡±?

In this previous program, we talked about the fact that during his previous visit to India, Philippine President Marcos had publicly declared that if Taiwan broke out of conflict, the Philippines would be "unable to stay out of place", when he received a strict response from China, warning him not to try to play fire on China's core interests.

In the end, China has warned the Philippines to break the cliff and rectify the evil, otherwise the Philippines' actions on the Chinese red line will pay a price, and all the consequences of this must be borne by the Philippines.

The last wording of China can be said to be unprecedented in the diplomatic history of China and the Philippines. Before that, when friction broke out between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea, China usually emphasized that China would take measures to resolutely defend its national interests and remind the Philippines that "China and the Philippines have reached a crossroads".

Now that China has directly told the Philippines that it "will pay the price", it shows that the Philippines has made a choice at the crossroads. It has stepped on China's red line in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait one after another, which has brought China's anger to a critical point. If you go further, it will be an abyss. At that time, there will be only "don't say what you say is unpredictable."
