Li Dawei felt a little ridiculous about Philippine Foreign Minister Makinu's theory, his head leaned on the back of his chair, and he didn't even glance at the map that Makinu took out, and said: "Judging from the map, the Philippines is also very close to China, according to your logic, should the Philippines also belong to China?" ”

Philippine National Security Adviser Debil saw that Macinu's trick did not work, so he put forward again: "Foreign Minister Li, I think that these nine major islands of the Kalayaan Archipelago are now claimed by both of us to enjoy sovereignty, and this should belong to the place where there is a sovereignty dispute between us. ”

Li Dawei watched this cunning Debilyo play this trick, he didn't imagine that he would do anything in the South China Sea to "shelve sovereignty and jointly develop" like later generations, and now even this idea must not be allowed to these Filipino maids, and it is definitely not possible to start this way. As soon as this head opened, he knew that it would undoubtedly cause chaos in the South China Sea, and the situation would be impossible to control. So he said very strongly: "There is no territorial problem between us at all, these nine islands have not the slightest dispute, and they have always belonged to us." You say that sovereignty has no legal basis and no historical reality. Once again, I would like to reiterate to you that the People's Republic of China has indisputable sovereignty over Thitu Island and other islands and the surrounding waters. Why should I develop the land in my yard with you, I advise you not to have these unrealistic ideas again. It's dangerous! ”

Everyone can know what Li Dawei's "very dangerous" means. The use of this "diplomatic language" is a naked threat of force. China is not only a threat of force, but also a "big stick" of military strikes that can fall on its head at any time. Forget it, don't mention this to him again.

"Foreign Minister Li, we, the Philippine political axe and the people, are very concerned about when your country will be able to release our 532 ship and the crew on it." Philippine Foreign Minister Makinu asked with a forced smile: "The relatives of these crew members are very eager to see them. ”

Li Dawei said solemnly: "First of all, let me correct your statement, 532 is not an ordinary ship, but a warship, and the warship is not a crew, but a Filipino armed soldier who invaded China's territorial waters. You should be well aware of what it means for a warship carrying armed soldiers to enter a sovereign state without the permission of the sovereign state! ”

Li Dawei first raised the issue and paved the way for the later negotiations on the conditions, and then said: "There are a total of 124 Filipino servicemen on board your No. 532 warship landing ship, and 31 of them have died when we take over this warship, and the deaths of these people are entirely caused by the ship's captain, Colonel Baraio, who ignored the warnings of the Chinese political axe and insisted on going his own way. China's political axe does not bear any responsibility for this. ”

Li Dawei paused, deliberately setting off the tense atmosphere of the negotiations, and said: "The bodies of these dead Filipino soldiers have all been thrown into the sea for burial at sea under the command of Acting Captain Eminiado. These people definitely can't go back. The remaining 93 people, of whom 14 were wounded, were well treated, but the medical costs were staggering. The remaining 79 people in the detention center eat a lot of fish and meat every day, and live a very good life, and it is reported that these officers and men of the Philippine Navy are too good to eat, and we have to pay a huge amount of food for them every day. I'm afraid I'll have to lose weight when I go back. ”

After explaining the personnel situation on the Philippine warship No. 532 to the Philippine political axe delegation, Li Dawei thought for a while and then continued: "In this way, for the sake of the friendship between the Chinese and Philippine peoples, considering that your Philippines is not too rich, we will not conduct an in-depth study into your current invasion of China's territorial waters, and we will not take it as an example." ”

"Thank you, China deserves to be called a responsible major country, it is really magnanimous" Philippine Foreign Minister Markinu immediately put on his top hat for China. to block Li Dawei's later words.

"This time, you will pay a fine of $3 million." Li Dawei was not moved by the top hat thrown by Makinu and continued: "After our relevant departments receive the fine, you can bring back these Filipino soldiers who illegally invaded our territory, but you must strengthen education after you go back, but you must not make such a similar mistake again." ”

"Then ship 532, when are you going to return the Philippine political axe to us?" Philippine National Security Adviser Debilyo then asked.

"I'm afraid that the No. 532 warship can't be returned to you, because it is important evidence of aggression against China." Li Dawei said happily: "However, I heard that the department in charge of the construction of the South China Sea is going to load it with stones and sand and then blow it up and sink it for reclamation. ”

"Don't, don't, don't reclaim the sea," Philippine National Security Adviser Debilyo hurriedly said: "That's the property of the Philippines." ”

"It used to be the national property of the Philippines, but now it is a tool for your Philippines to invade China's territorial waters and a trophy of the Chinese Navy." Li Dawei's face sank: "As for how to deal with these spoils of war, it is completely our internal affair of China, please be respectful and do not interfere in China's internal affairs." ”

Yes, who has heard of any country returning its captured booty to the other side?

Philippine Foreign Minister Makinu said with some indignation: "Foreign Minister Li, what is the basis for you saying that you want us to accept a fine of 3 million US dollars? It seems that there has never been such a convention in the world. ”

"Is there a basis?" Li Dawei said in a long voice: "There must be a basis." As you said, how can China be a responsible big country and do things without basis? The fine imposed on you is in accordance with the regulations on the management of the South China Sea just promulgated by the Hainan Provincial Government of China. As for international conventions, there are also them, but you are too forgetful. After the end of the Korean War in 1951, this is how China, the United States, and Britain dealt with prisoners of war. I think you had more than 10 Filipino prisoners of war at the time, did you also pay a certain amount of dollars? You know this better than I do. So, referring to the Korean War's method of dealing with prisoners of war, isn't this an international practice? Doesn't the way China, the United States, and Britain work together to deal with problems in this way still have an authoritative surname? As a matter of fact, the extent of your Philippine aggression against China has exceeded the degree of harm caused by the United States to China in North Korea, because the United States has not entered China's territorial waters after all, so we still deal with you strictly and lightly in the spirit of education. ”

All the rules of the game in this world are formulated by the powerful powers, and they do not need to rely on them, they only need to "set an example" for the world according to their own interests, which is the international practice and the law of the world. If you can't participate in the formulation of the rules of the game, you have no right to speak in this world, and no matter how high the "chicken fart" is, it can only be a country that is not in the flow and is slaughtered by others.

The Philippine delegation, composed of Philippine Foreign Minister Makinu and National Security Adviser Debilyo, spent a month in Yanjing, and finally achieved fruitful results. China signed a Sino-Philippine Joint Statement, which demarcates the maritime boundaries between the two countries, and the Philippines clearly recognizes China's absolute sovereignty over the entire Xisha Islands, Zhongsha Islands and Nansha Islands, as well as its surrounding maritime rights and interests. Fully respect the status of Chinese and overseas Chinese in the Philippines, and fully open the Philippine market to China.

War is only a means to quickly achieve its own ends. China after a burst of "big sticks". Finally, the "carrots" were taken out.

With its "broad mind," the Chinese side exempted the Philippines from a fine of $3 million, released all the Philippine Navy officers and sailors on the Project 532 landing ship, and returned the Philippine Navy landing ship Project 532 seized on Thitu Island. China agreed to provide the Philippines with a 10-year, $300 million low-interest loan to help the Philippines build food, mining, textile and other industries. The Philippines will repay the principal and interest of the equipment provided by China with domestically produced iron, chromium, manganese, gold and copper, copra and coconut oil, bananas, timber, etc.; At the same time, China accepts 2,000 Filipino maids with an employment period of 5 years every year.

After the signing of the "China-Philippines Joint Statement," Li Dawei and Philippine Foreign Minister Makinou delivered speeches respectively.

Li Dawei said with deep affection that China and the Philippines are two friendly neighbors, and the traditional friendship between the peoples of the two countries goes back to ancient times. The deep friendship between the Chinese and Philippine peoples has been established over a long period of history and is a precious asset of the Chinese and Philippine peoples. Under the new situation of continuous multi-level development of the world, China-Philippines relations are facing new development opportunities. Strengthening China-Philippines friendship and cooperation conforms to the fundamental interests of our two countries and peoples, and is also conducive to promoting peace, stability, and prosperity in the region.

After listening to Li Dawei's speech, all the members of the Philippine delegation could not help but sigh in their hearts: Listen, what the vice minister of foreign affairs of a big country said is better than what he sang, and Li Dawei is really a talented kid.

Then Philippine Foreign Minister Makinu also told reporters from all over the world: "Due to a small misunderstanding, we have come to great China. Under the cordial care of Premier Zhou Enlai, the Philippines and China not only resolved this small misunderstanding, but also comprehensively deepened the cooperation between the Philippines and China in the fields of politics, economy and trade, culture and security, established a cooperative relationship between the Philippines and China committed to peace and development, maintained peace in the South China Sea region, and realized the common development of the Philippines and China.

Following the signing of the Sino-Philippine Joint Declaration, in July 1960, China and North Vietnam signed the Joint Communiqué on the Sino-Vietnamese Boundary Issue on the basis of a letter dated September 4, 1958 from Pham Van Dong, Prime Minister of the Republic of Benh Cook of Vietnam, to the Chinese Republic of China, acknowledging the sovereignty of the People's Republic of China over the entire Xisha and Nansha Islands, further clarifying the boundaries and maritime boundaries between China and North Vietnam and the respective maritime rights and interests of both sides.

Soon after, China and Malaysia exchanged the Memorandum on the Demarcation of Islands and Maritime Boundaries between China and Malaysia in the South China Sea with reference to the China-Philippines Joint Statement. Through this diplomatic document, the islands and maritime boundaries of the two sides in the South China Sea were established.

So far, China and the three countries surrounding the South China Sea have clarified their respective ownership rights in the South China Sea in legal documents. China's territorial waters in the South China Sea are legally determined by neighboring countries. The vast amount of oil and gas contained in the basin of the South China Sea is indisputably China's oil storage tank.

But what is on paper, after all, is what is on paper. To truly safeguard China's sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea, it ultimately depends on its own strength and ability to actually control the islands.

With the support of the central government's policy of "building a solid defense system in the South China Sea Islands, with no upper limit", and with the concerted efforts and assistance of the people of Hainan, Guangzhou, Guangxi, Shannan Special Economic Zone and other provinces, as well as the people of the whole country, the Chinese Navy has established a comprehensive military base in the South China Sea, centered on Woody Island in the Xisha Islands and Taiping Island in the Nansha Islands, which has become a strategic point for China to control the entire South China Sea, the most important international golden waterway in the world. It became a strong fortress to defend the rich oil and other marine resources beneath the South China Sea. In particular, with the completion of the airfields on these two islands, China has formed a complete strategic defense system in the South China Sea, stretching from Taiwan in the north, to Hainan Island and Woody Island in the west, and to Taiping Island in the south, and its combat scope completely covers the entire South China Sea. The South China Sea has truly become a "swimming pool" in China's backyard.

Centered on Woody Island in the Xisha Islands and Taiping Island in the Nansha Islands, China has built permanent buildings on some islands in the South China Sea that are relatively large, have relatively small winds and waves, are surrounded by good natural anchorages, are convenient for ships to moor, and have an environment suitable for human survival. On some islands where conditions permit, several families are resettled on the islands in turn, and the state gives some appropriate subsidies. We should build these islands into bases for the production and livelihood of our fishermen and military outposts in the South China Sea, realize de facto occupation, and make these islands completely sovereign.

In order to facilitate the connection between these islands, China's Ministry of Communications has set up Xisha and Nansha rescue bases on Woody Island and Taiping Island, respectively. Two rescue ships "Nanhai Rescue 001" and Nanhai Rescue 002 and two Soviet Mi-4 helicopters were stationed to and from various islands to solve problems and provide convenient transportation for the military and civilians stationed on the islands.

Reconnaissance patrols in the South China Sea are carried out by drones.

At this time, we want to occupy our South China Sea islands and take our South China Sea oil. That's harder than it gets. Unless you are impotent in the future, there is nothing you can do.
