I was born and raised in the PI. I love the PI and all the people I knew. Though I am not there now I feel very involved and I do not want the PI to be over whelmed by China at any level. There is not good reason for that. We all know they are bullies.
Please, tell them “No” in no uncertain terms. Please. If you agree to their terms now, they will not stop until they own the PI. DON”T let them do it.
