上百艘菲律宾船只逼近我黄岩岛后，中方这次做了两手准备，直接封锁菲方的阴谋。    LOS ANGELES -- Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes fell for the fourth month in a row in September, held back by surging mortgage rates and a thin supply of properties on the market.Existing home sales fell 2% last month from August to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.96 million, the National Association of Realtors said Thursday. That’s just above the 3.9 million unit pace that economists were expecting, according to FactSet.Sales sank 15.4% compared with the same month last year and are down 21% through the first nine months of the year versus the same period in 2022.Despite the housing market slump, home prices kept climbing versus a year ago. The national median sales price rose 2.8% from September last year to $394,300. It slipped 3.1% from August.“Clearly, the story of limited inventory and rising and rising mortgage rates continues to hinder the home sales market,” said Lawrence Yun, the NAR’s chief economist.The weekly average rate on a 30-year mortgage moved above 7% in August, when many of the home sales that were finalized in September would have gone under contract. It has remained above that threshold since, surging last week to 7.57%, the highest level since 2000, according to mortgage buyer Freddie Mac.High rates can add hundreds of dollars a month in costs for borrowers, limiting how much they can afford in a market already out of reach for many Americans. They also discourage homeowners who locked in rock-bottom rates two years ago from selling.While surging mortgage rates have shut out many prospective buyers, a chronic shortage of homes for sale continues to keep the market competitive, especially for the most affordable homes.Homes sold last month typically within just 21 days after hitting the market, and about 26% of homes sold for more than their list price, the NAR said.All told, there were 1.13 million homes on the market by the end of last month, up 2.7% from August, but down 8.1% from September last year, the NAR said. That amounts to just a 3.4-month supply, going by the current sales pace. In a more balanced market between buyers and sellers, there is a 4- to 5-month supply.。

近日，菲律宾又谋划了一出“大戏”，这两天，菲律宾民间组织“这是我们的”召集了一大批渔民前往我黄岩岛周边海域闹事，菲律宾方面声称，此举是为了维护他们在黄岩岛的“主权”而展开的行动，并且，这次一来就是3天。

菲律宾这次的船队是由5艘商业渔船和上百艘渔船组成，而这5艘商业渔船上不仅载有“这是我们的”这一组织的成员，还有一些外国记者和观察员，不仅如此，菲律宾海岸警卫队还派出了3艘船舰为这一船队保驾护航。

从这里也能看出，这次“冲闯黄岩岛”的行动，从表面上来看是“这是我们的”这一组织发起的，实际上却是得到了菲律宾政府的大力支持。并且，这背后还有美国的手笔。菲律宾这个所谓的“民间组织”其实一直以来都是由美国的机构在背后资助。

包括利用渔民当“挡箭牌”来南海碰瓷作秀，都是美国在出谋划策。在去年12月，该组织也举行过一次类似的行动，为在仁爱礁非法“坐滩”的军舰运送物资。所以，这次行动摆明了就是美菲联手做的一个局。根据菲方的计划，他们这次除了要给渔民发放新一轮补给物资之外，还将在黄岩岛海域设置一些浮标。

当然，这并不是他们这次行动的真正目的，这些只不过是用来刺激挑衅中国的手段，逼中国对他们出手，然后利用舆论朝中国身上泼脏水才是他们的最终目的。但这次中国早已看穿了菲律宾的心思，所以做了两手准备。

在菲律宾行动之前，中国就已经先一步在黄岩岛海域展开海上救生等演习，不仅如此，中方还提前在东岸南入口东南入口处设置了两个浮动屏障。看到中国在黄岩岛海域严阵以待，菲律宾这次也不敢直接硬闯。

于是，菲律宾船队在抵达黄岩岛附近海域后，他们先派出了一支由4艘木壳渔船和一艘菲律宾海警船组成的“先遣队”接近黄岩岛来试探中国。然而，中方立即出动了两艘海警船驱离菲律宾这支“先遣队”。

据其中一艘船的船长透露，最近的时候中国海警船距离他们仅有100米左右，情况已经相当危险。

二 | 由于中国海警船的强势拦截，导致他们不敢再继续前进，于是，不得不放弃下一步行动。

事后，该组织还高调宣传他们这次的任务取得了“巨大的成功”。但中国也在第一时间公布了现场的真实情况。菲律宾的这支“先遣队”在接近黄岩岛无果后，就在距离他们目的46-56公里以外的地方给菲律宾渔民发放补给物资。

不仅如此，在黄岩岛60海里以外的地方有大批菲律宾渔船在此摆拍作秀，除了捕鱼作业之外，菲方人员还在该海域放置了不少橙色的浮标，一些船员手中挥舞着菲律宾的国旗并高呼“这是菲律宾的地盘，中国过去”。

但菲律宾没有料到的是，这些全程都被中国海警监视取证。要知道，菲律宾摆拍作秀的事情没少干，这次也想故技重施，把这些精心准备的“物料”发布出去，再宣言他们任务“取得成功”，让大众误以为菲律宾船队真的抵达了黄岩岛。

所以，这次中国也先下手为强，不仅拍下了菲律宾摆拍作秀的全过程，还率先公之于众。这样一来，菲律宾就没有办法添油加醋，颠倒黑白地进行炒作。由此可见，菲律宾当前的手段中国早已了如指掌。

如此一来，菲律宾今后在南海可操弄的空间也只会越来越小。
