Chinese official media editorial: Continue to be patient. World News Network Chinese official media expressed their attitude towards Vietnam in editorials on the 14th to "continue to be patient." An editorial in the Global Times, a subsidiary of the People's Daily, titled "Strength in the South China Sea may not be Vietnam and the Philippines' strengths," explains that "as a major country, China's actions in the South China Sea cannot be constrained or induced by any country, and its own principles must be very clear and stable." The People's Liberation Army Daily stated in an editorial that "intensifying conflicts will not help the South China Sea issue" that "(South China Sea) disputes must be resolved peacefully through friendly consultations between the parties concerned. China firmly opposes the intervention of countries that have nothing to do with the South China Sea issue in the South China Sea dispute, and opposes the internationalization, multilateralization, and expansion of the South China Sea issue." "Global Times" pointed out that the South China Sea has always been peaceful. It was after the United States announced its intervention in the South China Sea affairs that a wonderful chemical reaction occurred in the entire region. Vietnam and the Philippines made impulsive statements and became the puppets of the United States. The United States will always be the operator, but will not actually pay for the construction of this wall to contain China. The editorial stated that the consequences of a direct military confrontation between the United States and a major country like China would be completely unbearable in the South China Sea. The United States may cause some trouble for China in the South China Sea, but the competition between China and the United States is on the entire world stage, not in corners like the South China Sea. Hanoi and Manila should know that their actions are turning the South China Sea from a place of reason and compromise into a place of who is more powerful and has more allies. "And competition may not be their strong point." The editorial said that China and the United States have been fighting for a long time without breaking up, and they must be as patient and open-minded as small countries. If China wants to go global, it must deal with its surrounding problems. The "Liberation Army Daily" editorial pointed out that Vietnam's military exercises, which exaggerate disputes and intensify conflicts, are not conducive to the resolution of the South China Sea issue. This requires all parties to show sincerity and patience, adopt a cooperative attitude, and properly handle it through communication and negotiation. This is also China's consistent attitude. The editorial stated that such disputes must be resolved peacefully through friendly consultations between the parties concerned. We firmly oppose the intervention of countries that have nothing to do with the South China Sea issue and the internationalization, multilateralization and expansion of the South China Sea issue. Otherwise, history has proven that it will only make things worse.
