China is playing the long game. Why start a war when you can just buy your favoured candidate into power? It'd much easier this way. Tried to be optimistic when some posters on the forum commented that Duturte is often unpredictable regarding his next moves. Now it's like my nightmare coming true after reading he and his cabinet's recent statements. It is hugely illogical to tell your opponent that you are throwing you strongest and.possibly last card. I have also noticed a common arguement from these china leaning presidents. Chinese investments. Every single time. Why not look for investments from other countries? Japan? Korea? They invest pretty heavily into se asia. US? Australia? There are plenty other options out there. Edited by Uruzu, Jul 24 2016, 08:25 PM.

I find it hard to believe it's "Chinese investments", they can peddle that as "The Reason", because they can pretend they care for the good of the nation. BUT.. IMHO, it's more likely they care for their own pockets more -- so replace "investments" with "bribes" and that's the reason you are looking for. |

Here's how the Philippines can beat China in the South China Sea Foreign Policy - James Holmes Fabius Maximus' Doctrine: (1) Exercise self-discipline, subduing your passion for quick victory. Refuse to fight a stronger foe on its own terms. (2) Keep your alliances robust, supplementing your strength. (3) Tend to the home front, sustaining political unity for a prolonged struggle while husbanding the sinews of national power. (4) Be patient. Let the foe exhaust its fervor over time, yielding an acceptable peace. "To be sure, students of Roman history would affix a coda to all of this, pointing out that Fabius didn’t win Rome’s war against Hannibal; Cornelius Scipio did. Fabian strategy wasn’t enough. Rome needed a Scipio: a brash, offensive-minded, risk-taking commander. Scipio carried the fight across the Mediterranean Sea, marching on Carthage itself, putting an end to the Second Punic War."

Chinese vessel enters PHL territory, crosses paths with Coast Guard ship August 18, 2016 By ELIZABETH MARCELO, GMA News - The face-off, which happened three weeks ago, occured 73 to 100 nautical miles from Subic coast. - Two PCG vessels were accompanying the fishermen when one Chinese Coast vessel passed by in the area. - They intend to continue patrolling as it is within our exclusive economic zone. - The two PCG vessels were comparably smaller than the passing Chinese Coast Guard vessel. But they were very cordial. No untoward incident happened. - This was contrary to previous incidents when Filipino fishermen were barred by the Chinese Coast Guard. - With the new (PCA) ruling, we could now go there and go fishing there anytime we want. |
