Like I said before, the Chinese excel in Bilateral negotiations and whatever would be agreed to would end up being used against other ASEAN nations to make us look bad as if we dimed them out.

Bilateral negotiations are a no go. It will be like making a deal with Satan. You will always lose and even if you think you came up winning, the Chinese will find a way to violate it anyway just like they have in the past.

Tell them to suck a balut and come back when they are ready to discuss it in the UN or a multilateral forum as honest brokers.

I think though that there is already a proposal to have an ASEAN peace keeping force. That could be a start of making the ASEAN a military alliance.
Two qualities are indispensable: first, an intellect that, even in the darkest hour, retains some glimmerings of the inner light which leads to truth; and second, the courage to follow this faint light wherever it may lead.

Well, I want to see that day. And why not an ASEAN UNION?

It would be better though to get NZ and Australia in the fray. :)

Considering the issues those two countries have had with the chicoms it would be a welcome addition to the rebel alliance.

Mullen's Visit Helps U.S.-China Military Relations

Another concern is how China will behave at this week's Regional Forum of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in Bali where disputes over the South China Sea will be center stage. "Will the U.S. administration continue to support the Southeast Asians, or is the Mullen visit intended to signal the U.S. backing away from the position enunciated by Secretary of State Clinton a year ago?" Cheng said.

During a joint press conference with Adm. Mullen, Gen. Chen said, "China has undisputable sovereignty over islands in South China Sea and its peripheral waters." Chen also said the U.S. was committed to staying out of territorial disputes in the South China Sea.
As a sign of increased rhetoric, earlier this month Shen Hong-fang, a researcher at the Center of Southeast Asian Studies at Xiamen University, said that Chinese military "hard-liners" were prepared to "launch a war against the invaders" of Chinese territory in the South China Sea and that "it is the right time to adopt necessary measures to teach some countries a lesson."

A Chinese policy analyst in Beijing said Shen was "speaking for herself" and not for the Chinese government. Shen's comments were "reckless" and a sign of the "upsurge in nationalism" that has, in many cases, "tied the hands of Chinese leaders." This has forced Beijing to take a stand on many issues that are counterproductive for the country, he said.

its actually better if china attacks now so if our ships will be sunk, then the public will storm congress and hang the congressmen, and finally, the AFP budget will skyrocket. Alam mo naman ang pilipino, they act at the last minute :lollol: secondly, its better now while china is still not a full-grown monster. :fire:
