If the Philippines and Vietnam really joined NATO, then China could learn a lesson.
To put it bluntly, the Philippines and Vietnam want to join NATO just to make themselves unhappy. If they really dare to take that step, there will be no need for China to put on the airs of "harmony is the most important thing" and do whatever it wants to safeguard its own interests. After all, no one will Won't watch someone hand a knife to their doorstep without fighting back.
First, let’s talk carefully about the U.S., who shouted every day to expand NATO into Asia, but his work didn’t keep up.
You see Russia's spending in Ukraine, the U.S. and NATO's energy is all drawn to Eastern Europe, the U.S. Congress last year for Ukraine's billions of dollars in military aid for two months, and finally the pooled money doesn't even meet the demand for artillery on the Ukrainian front.
On the other side of Europe, Germany's tank inventories are almost empty, France even wants to spend money onining its own army's equipment, where is the excess weapons and troops shifted to Asia?
Last year, NATO held an Asia-Pacific Partnership Conference, trying to pull Japan and South Korea to set up a shelf first. As a result, it didn't even sign a substantive cooperation agreement. European countries privately complained that "don't forget Europe's security for Asia".
What do you say about this state, what does the United States help the Philippines and Vietnam to carry things? really wait for these two countries to join NATO, if the South China Sea is a little bit of motion, NATO is difficult to move troops from Poland across the Pacific?
Speaking of the Philippines and Vietnam, these two countries are not stupid at all, and they are clearer than anyone in their hearts about doing bad things with China.
First look at the economy, Vietnam exports to China over $120 billion last year, you wear a lot of Vietnamese sports shoes, electronic accessories, raw materials and markets have to rely on China, the Philippines is more dependent, bananas, mango exports China accounted for more than 60 percent of his foreign exports, and the South China Sea oil and gas cooperation, Chinese enterprises help him develop the gas field, supply half of the Philippine civilian gas.
If it is true to join NATO and China clutter, first not to say China will adjust the trade policy, only these cooperation stops, Vietnamese textile factories have to stop work, the Philippine fruit farms have to tear bananas in the ground, the domestic economy must not be messy?
Not to mention the military, China's regional denial capability is there. The range of Dongfeng series missiles can cover the entire South China Sea, and the normal cruise of naval ships in the South China Sea has long become a daily routine.
The Philippines is so close to China. If something goes wrong, NATO warships have not crossed the Strait of Malacca, and China has already controlled the situation.
Before, Philippine fishing boats interacted with Chinese coast guard boats in the South China Sea, didn't they really dare to do anything? He knows in his heart that if he is tough with China, he will definitely suffer. NATO's so-called "protection" is nothing more than painting cakes to satisfy his hunger.
Another key thing is that supporting Russia against NATO is not a matter of choice or not for China, but a practical need. Russia has contained nearly half of the overseas military resources of the United States in Ukraine. If Russia cannot withstand it, NATO will definitely free up its hands. More warships and fighter planes will be transferred to the Asia-Pacific region, and China will face much greater pressure by then.
Now that Russia is carrying it, it is equivalent to helping China block part of the firepower of NATO's eastward expansion. This is a real strategic space, and we all know it in our hearts.
In fact, at the end of the day, NATO wants to join the Philippines, Vietnam, is to find a "handshake" in Asia to deal with China, but these two countries are not so stupid, near neighbors are always more than far in the sky "allied", China's economic dividends and security stability, is NATO can not give, really to bet on their livelihoods to hold NATO's thighs, that is not the self-seeking death path is what?
Do you think the Philippines and Vietnam have the courage to bet on their economy and security to make up for NATO’s fun?If it were that day, you think they would be affected first by their wallets or daily livelihoods?
