south China Sea? THAT’S RACIST!!!
This is a good think that the CHICOMS keep being aholes to all their neighbors. Destroys the fake front they tried to put for years that they the “nice” superpower, unlike the “bad” imperialist US. And their Belt and Road Initiative is going up in flames too, being exposed as just a state loansharking operation.
The United States, believe it or not, has a special relationship with the Philippines. Once a US Territory, the Philippines were granted their independence after the Second World War was settled, but there were recurring problems and friction about basing US troops and naval personnel, and currently there is virtually no presence there. The Harris/Biden regime would ditch the Philippines in a minute, rather than to face off against China in any significant way.
China has already moved to take over operations at the Clark Air Base and the Subic Bay shipyards, and the Philippines have been badly compromised. They would not stand alone very long against the PLA navy.
Better watch it the Chinese have taken up Kamikaze
Vaguely reminiscent of [The Bedford Incident](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bedford_Incident)
..and if it happens again the Filipinos will taunt the Chinese a second time and fart in their general direction....
Philippines deja vu?
