Pnoy has done what he can do democratically to modernize our Military, more than any administration before him, but he is not a dictator who decides everything. The man is president but still has to follow the law. It's congress who holds the power of the purse in our government. And for some strange reason, they still don't think that Defending the West Phil. Sea is of utmost importance. And everything the Military requires to defend our territories cost money. when the President found a way to use the Malampaya funds to fund it's own security, the clowns found a way to legally stop it and even threatened Pnoy of imprisonment after his term. And now that Pnoy is confirming the ownership of our western territories through UNCLOS, for other friendly country's to have better reason to help us defend our own. some people are still trying to find angles to prove that it was a wrong move. as if China wouldn't have change it's island stealing ways if we didn't. For me, blaming Pnoy for our slow AFP Modernization is barking the wrong tree. |

Beware China's Strategic Doublespeak China's latest statement of military strategy is full of doublespeak that whitewashes new and assertive content through self-contradictory statements and ambiguous phrases. Van Jackson May 29, 2015 On China's recently released white paper, China's Military Strategy: - Instead of offensive military attacks and first strikes, China talks of "active defense" and "preparation for military struggle." - The white paper states that "Peace, development, cooperation and mutual benefit have become an irresistible tide of the times," while decrying "new threats from hegemonism, power politics and neo-interventionism." - It describes China's external environment as "generally favorable," yet the entire paper is about how it intends to cope with challenges to its expanding interests, requiring a larger and more diverse military force structure than ever. - China says "it will never seek hegemony or expansion," yet the white paper unquestionably describes a need to project military power globally to protect global interests, and that "China's armed forces will remain a staunch force for maintaining world peace." - And on the South China Sea, China claims its "offshore neighbors take provocative actions and reinforce their military presence... that they have illegally occupied," even as it constructs what increasingly looks like airstrips and military bases in legally contested waters. Chinese doublespeak, especially on military matters, is hardly new. But the consequence of it is to reinforce fissures in Asia, driving a wedge between those who find it inconvenient to acknowledge Chinese assertiveness and those who believe they may one day be on the receiving end of Chinese ambitions.
