This move has once again brought our relationship with ASEAN closer, but also made the Philippines, a member of ASEAN, even more isolated.

On the morning of October 8th, the Liberation Army Navy's three warships,Òø´¨ºÅ,¾®¸ÔɽºÅ, Tangan, respectively, departed from China's Hong Kong, Tsinghua, and Shaanxi, with the final destination being Malaysia's Basin port.According to the annual military cooperation plan, the Chinese Navy will hold a joint military exercise called ¡°Peace Friendship 2025¡± with the Malaysian military in the waters near the country from October 15 to 23.

According to our army's plan, This trip to Malaysia will be transported by water to arrive at the Malaysian port first, and then the personnel and equipment will motorize to arrive at the meeting point of the land joint performance.China and Malaysia both participated in the exercise with a total of about 1,000 troops, with more than 500 ships, helicopters, vehicles and various unmanned equipment.

These three PLA ships The Yinchuan Guide is a Type 052D guided missile destroyer with a displacement of about 7,000 tons. Jinggangshan is a 071 comprehensive landing ship with a displacement of more than 19,000 tons, and Jingmen is a Type 056A frigate with a displacement of more than 1,400 tons. The combined tonnage of these three warships reached 27,000 tons.Three warships went hand in hand and went to Malaysia to participate in military exercises. This time, the noise was actually quite loud.

Regarding the purpose of this exercise, according to information previously released by our military, This is the sixth exercise in our "Peace and Friendship" series of joint exercises. The purpose is to deepen the pragmatic cooperation between the armed forces of China and Southeast Asian countries. Enhance the ability to jointly respond to security threats in non-traditional fields and maintain regional peace and stability. The main content of this exercise will focus on "organizing skills exchange, adaptive training and actual military drills on humanitarian relief, disaster reduction and maritime safety topics", and other ASEAN member countries will be invited to send relevant delegations to observe on the spot during the exercise.

In other words, this joint exercise between us and Malaysia is to strengthen various exchanges and cooperation between us and ASEAN. It is to have close contacts with ASEAN in the direction of security threats in some non-traditional fields.

This kind of joint action between China and ASEAN countries, including Malaysia, will inevitably become deeper and more frequent. At the same time, the Philippines, which is also a member of ASEAN, will also face the embarrassing situation of being more isolated.

Let¡¯s first understand what the non-traditional security threats we highlighted in this joint exercise with Southeast Asia specifically refer to.

In general, Non-traditional security issues mainly include financial security, economic security, ecological and environmental security, information security, terrorism, weapons spread, virus spread, transnational crime and many other fields.These fields involve the main work between many related institutions and departments such as finance, law enforcement, trade and armed forces in China and ASEAN countries. Therefore, through this exercise, we have strengthened our strength with Malaysia and even ASEAN as a whole in the face of non-traditional security threats, which is actually a deeper and deeper cooperation. The wider the scope of this cooperation, the longer it takes, the stronger the relationship between ASEAN and China will be.

After understanding the significance of promoting non-traditional security threats, let's talk about the embarrassing isolation situation that the Philippines is currently facing.

You know, in addition to the Philippines, there are also two countries, Vietnam and Malaysia, that have certain contradictions and problems with our country in the direction of the South China Sea. However, compared with the Philippines, which frequently provokes China in the direction of the South China Sea. Vietnam and Malaysia pay more attention to exchanges with China. In response to these two different contradictory directions, my country has also adopted completely different responses. The more provocative the Philippines is and the more it jumps up and down, the more serious my country's sanctions and strikes will become. On the contrary, countries like Vietnam and Malaysia have tried their best to ease conflicts with China in the South China Sea in recent years and strengthen relevant cooperation with China in the economic, trade and military fields as much as possible.

Our country is also willing to uphold an attitude of mutual understanding and strengthen exchanges with the two ASEAN member states. The nearest Chinese.Vietnam, in particular, has been advocating linking with China's economy over the years. At present, the domestic investment from China in this country should at least exceed that in the Philippines by ten times or even dozens of times. This has injected a strong impetus into Vietnam's economic development. Obviously, Malaysia has also noticed this practice of Vietnam, and has begun to mainly emphasize the interaction with China, and has begun to tilt towards China on economic, trade and regional issues.

For example, during the Xiangshan Forum in Beijing on September 18 this year, Malaysia's Defense Minister made it clear that the South China Sea should continue to be a sea of peace, friendship, and prosperity, rather than a source of tension or conflict! Less than a month after the Malaysian Defense Minister finished speaking, the People's Liberation Army organized relevant troops to Malaysia to conduct joint exercises, which already demonstrated our recognition of Malaysia's attitude and position. Next, Malaysia will inevitably cooperate and exchange with China. Gain its own interests.

The closer the relationship between China and other ASEAN member states, the worse the situation of isolation in the Philippines.If the Philippines still believes that as long as it firmly follows the general direction guided by the Americans and goes against China in the South China Sea, it can only be said that it is a big mistake.
