Philippines is more committed to war with China than Taiwan is. US has very firm puppet there, and they are choosing self destruction instead of trade with China. They just got rewarded with 17% US tariffs yesterday. Canada, as complete crackhead response to attack from US, made a defense pact with Philippines.
This propaganda was certainly published prior to tariffs.
China bullies the Philippines every day, how can you considering having a trading partner like that? Chinese ships are attacking Philippines fishers too.
Philippines provocation at US puppetry request. Military base giveaways are not good for your health. Like all wars, US direct provocation by bribing a proxy puppet. Hopefully for Philippines, extreme anger at their corrupt evil government topples it unless it changes to the right course.
?? The bases were closed in 1991 or given to the Philippines and US troops returned to the Philippines due to China aggressions and talks of giving back some bases to the US for the same reason.
China is a bully country, they have no friends in the area for that reason.
"Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreeement"
5 bases added in 2016. 4 more in 2023.
due to China aggressions
China has been aggressively surrounding itself with US military bases. Too much US media consumption for you.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_China_Sea_Arbitration
And that is a direct response to China ignoring the South China Sea Arbitration.
I hope you get paid for your effort though.
direct response to China ignoring the South China Sea Arbitration.
Not at all a corrupt US sponsored BS process. You must be paid a lot.
China is a member of the United Nations and has veto powers... The court was presided by a Ghanian.
As Fredthefishlord said, you don't need to defend China just because you oppose the US.
Whoop tankie alert
Is there a name for supporters of thieving corrupt regimes in service of US warmongering? How about the world's 3rd most corrupt evil US puppet, about to rise to number 2?
I'm not asking you to support usa. I'm saying Don't glaze the hell out of china. Just because you don't support one country doesn't mean you should prop up their rival as somehow being good.
You have to understand that nations can do good and bad, even when they're evil
Seriously, if China doesn't use the current state the US are in, then I dint know what they are waiting for. I wouldn't be surprised if this goes down this year. What a shitty timeline.
Prepare for the semiconductor drought of the late 2020s, and looots of greedflation.
The China meme that endures: "Do nothing. win!"
They're not waiting, they're preparing. They're currently happily building navy and air force bases on "contested" islands in the South China Sea and nobody, not Biden, not Trump, is stopping them.
What they're doing is commonly called encirclement.
You could look at it as them building future US military bases...
ncd leaking again
I feel like China would hire another country to do this so somehow the U.S. wouldn't intervene under the orange clowns "leadership"...
Proxy war
Why would Russia care about Taiwan?
50k troops for a quick in/out war, in exchange for 500k troops to help with their current in and out adventure.
we all know what happened the last in/out war
India would probably be able to do it if the US doesnt intervene.
You know India and China aren't really besties, right?
There has been detente last 3 years. BRICS partners. About to get much closer from high US tariffs on US. India's only pretense of friendship with US was US FDI. China has been willing to do phone manufacturing FDI. India was planning massive solar factories and other manufacturing back when they had a US export market. China has the expertise to accelerate India's manufacturing for its market. China is certain to dominate all of Asia now, and get better cooperation.
The nuclear option on chips, is if NL, JPN, Taiwan repudiate US export controls that is inherently a colonial choice.
No but money. Or they just take it for themselves.
upvoted just for the title
