Comicomment: Who is playing the 'magic flute' in the South China Sea?

(ECNS)--The Philippines has fueled tensions in the South China Sea, violating China's sovereignty and undermining regional stability. There is always the shadow of countries outside the region in Manila's provocative actions.

The United States, as a non-party to the South China Sea issue, plays the role of a “magic flute player,” manipulating the Philippines into confrontations with China. The U.S. has long been manipulating behind the scenes to create a sense of insecurity and tension in the Philippines.

Like a boat entranced by the tune, the Philippines continues to edge toward danger, risking greater peril through its actions.
