(Manila French New Electric) Philippine foreign policy has been changed, from pro -Hua to pro -beauty.Analysts pointed out that Manila believes that the establishment of a strong partnership with Washington can help the Philippines compete in China in the South China Sea with sovereignty disputes.
Former Philippine President Duterte abandoned the Philippines alliance and moved closer to China.In June 2022, Pagoda, who came to power, tried to adopt a balanced solution between China and the United States. He emphasized that Manila "made friends with all people and not to be enemies with anyone."
Although Martakus did not alienate China and visited China in January 2023 to meet Chinese officials, analysts believe that Manila's policy changes are obvious.
Magakus actively restored the Philippine and US defense relationship, and announced in February that four more military bases were opened for the U.S. military for use.
The US Think Tank Strategy and International Research Center (CSIS) Asian maritime transparency initiative Polin analyzed: "Basically no matter what the Philippines does, it cannot appease China ...It is deterrent, and this means strengthening the alliance with Americans. "
Since taking office, Little Macos has met a number of senior American officials
Since taking office, there have been many senior American officials, including Vice President Harris.These officials vowed that the United States would "unwaverly" follow the United States and Philippine joint defense treaty reached in 1951 and co -defend the criminals with the Philippines.
The Director of Marine Affairs and Marine Law Research Institute of the University of the Philippines said: "There is a sense of optimism now that what the government is doing is correct ... Beijing may try to punish the Philippines, but in fact the PhilippinesThe economic relationship with the United States, Japan and other traditional partners is far better than the economic relationship with China. "
The United States has colonized the Philippines, and has a complicated relationship with the Philippines in history.The US military's military existence in the Philippines is still a sensitive issue.The United States once owned two major military bases in Luzon Island, the largest islands in the Philippines, but the Philippine people kept protest for many years, and the base was closed in the early 1990s.The four new U.S. bases, three of which are located in the northern part of Luzon Island, facing the Basilica Strait, looking at Taiwan.
Massa, who has repeatedly launching movements in the past 30 years and opposed to the US military base, said: "The United States is dragging us into its war with China."
Two of these new US military bases will be located in the province of Luzon Island Card Kagan. Governor Mamba has previously publicly objected to allowing the US military to settle in, worrying that it will affect the inflow of Chinese capital and even involved in the military conflict of the Taiwan Strait.
Little Marcus also seems to have determined that once the Taiwan Strait broke out, it is difficult for the Philippines to avoid being involved.In February, he interviewed Japanese media in February: "It's hard to imagine that the Philippines will not be involved in ... We feel like we are at the front."
