"The Philippine military said Thursday that developing military relations with China does not conflict with the interests of any third country."

Not at all, in fact, when they come to take the rest of your islands....just remember those words.

The Chinese prefer to control through influence (classic Chinese Middle Kingdom model) not so much into physical occupation like conquests.

Wern't those the Spratly Islands that China has recently claimed as their own?
