@discofoufou@zhao_dashuai The leaders can be both. Both can be true, Filipinos never learn. Iโm not even saying that to be spiteful, itโs just sad. The rich get richer and the poor are cannon fodder for geopolitical feuds that the Philippines has no business getting into.
@snhcyy@AGS_CBN143@BBCWorld Both sides are able to give their domestic support tangible gains. As well as save face to internal criticism. China is rising, we all know that. Its an opportunity for the Philippines to open up to Chinese investment regarding infrastructure and more. Pride comes before the fall
@snhcyy@AGS_CBN143@BBCWorld So Iโm wondering why not engage in bilateral development? China foots the infrastructure regarding extraction and the Philippines invests and receives what they can cover such as 5-10% realistically
@zgong0578@kikopangilinan Fair enough point. But whatโs the South China Sea maritime dispute about? Is it due to overlapping claims or because of the American bases in the Philippines?
