South China/West Philippine Sea

Pnoy must date a chinese actress (kim chiu perhaps) to entice China to amicably settle the disputes.

These are one of the reasons why we need the US whether you like it or not!!!!!

The Fil-Sino tension is not only concentrated in the Spratlys, it has extended to cyberspace. Chinese hackers defaced the UP website. Filipino hackers in turn retaliated by attacking a couple of Chinese websites.

 

In the long run with regard to cyberwarfare, the future's not very promising for our side... hackers in the PRC have direct Government and PLA support whereas Filipino hackers are just doing it on their own...

yeah... and this situation is also a blessing in disguise... no more lip service from them a.hole politicos when it comes to the AFP Modernization... Military corruption can only go so far that even if you eradicate military corruption 100% (which realistically you could not) we still can't buy Modern Major Military Hardware with the pittance they allocate for the AFP...

PNoy should offer himself to China as sacrifice.

We have exercises with the US, China has exercises with the Russians.

 

On GMA today a UP Pol Sci professor was saying how during the Marcos years, China was more belligerent than it is today. The professor said that China had put up a lighthouse which Marcos then blew up. But today, because there is no way we will ever have a military advantage and an arms race doesn't make sense, the fight must be brought elsewhere (and not brought to the realm of cyberspace either). China's tactic regarding its borders is the same on land apparently, with her building highways in Indian territory. Our opportunity lies in the reality that she has much to lose on the international stage, and ultimately much to lose economically if she is perceived to be flexing her muscles this way. We also have a good environmental argument to make, when Chinese fishermen destroy coral, that can't be good for either side, so obviously we are in the right to protest fishing practices that are prohibited in marine environment protection treaties. So while we may have lost in the short run, if we play our diplomatic cards right, we can come out better in the mid and long term.

It seems to me the Chinese are in the business of insidiously encroaching on other countries' territory and later claiming it as their own by saying they built structures there.

 

typical a.hole mentality...

actually we were already talking about it a few ago when when the whole thing happened again.... one of the moves the GRP i think should do is bring Greenpeace and the other tree huggers here and present a complete "Killer" Powerpoint presentation when pics of what we usually confiscate from them ChiCom "Fishermen"...

What will happen to Panatag now?

china fully knows that it is more for them to lose if they go to war against us. Uncle Sam is on our side. without Uncle Sam's support to the PH, China would have attacked us already.

 

so, let us ask ourselves, what's keeping them from firing the first shot?

[lomex32]

We will close down 168, 999 and City Square

Recto Bank natural gas reserves bigger than those in Malampaya -- DoE

 

I wouldn't be surprised if somehow the Chicoms approach the UN again with another "ANCIENT MAP" on hand claiming that PALAWAN "HISTORICALLY" belongs to China! hehehehehehehehe....

 

Tignan ko lang tapang nyo kay Hagedorn! hahahahahahaha!

I wonder why the Chinese are using ancient maps as an excuse to claim areas. This is just plain stupidity considering that a lot of countries today were historically part of other countries as well.

 

their stupidity is being backed up by advanced military hardware, what about ours?

[heatseeker0714]

I'm just saying that it's plain stupidity that they are resorting to ancient maps to back up their claim.

 

Coz of their mindset maybe??? "if we don't get that legally, we'll get that by hook or by crook" or they'll just wanna delay the rightful governments taking control of their respective areas so long that said militarily weak governments (i.e. Philippines) would just share with them the resources in a "JOINT" venture so that they can get a piece of the pie coz the weaker government really needs the resources right away...
