The pres is using 3 different strategies: 1. Don't act but blame. We will not do anything but we will put a blame to a country that will/did not help. 2. Wait and Saw. We wait until something bad happens and it's too late to react. 3. Buy and Sell. Buy China products, then Sell PH for free. |

Ja kamerad Pitz! What the Ph needs is a situation that would enable her to buy more time to build up not just military capability but more importantly to reform and strengthen the economy. Preferably a balance wherein a strong military that is not dependent on the US and a progressive economy that is not dependent on China. The decision favoring the Ph is already part of international law. It only needs an opportune time to implement it.

Cross-posting this bit of news here for people who haven't seen this update from the China military board in the World Military News and Issues section: China to place coast guard under military control While the development above was reported to be about posturing against Japan, this means the CMS vessels in the West Philippine Sea might coordinate more with PLA-N vessels in those waters.

This had been part of China's plan 5yrs ago. And PDU30 just ignored it, using a blind-eye, his alibi is that "USCG is under USN leadership so why bother". Unfortunately, PH WPS is just being sold/given by a lawyer who does not understand law. |
