China and the Philippines inch closer to conflict in the South China sea 

who care,America daddy need Philippines to deter china now.and everyone think china is weaker than usa, America even not dare to send army to protect his father Iseral,so Philippines thinks they can,America just a paper tiger.🤣🤣

to the point.

after Marcos Sr did u see improvement of the Philippine Military?look at the result of disregarding military funding and modernization 😅 ...

this is just conspiratory. Philippines already have tensions with China for this sea even in the past decades, with 2012 Scarborough Shoal Standoff firing it to even new heights. While during the traitorous Duterte's administration, PH already exhausted of soft power means to fight off China's claims, tried to befriend China instead with us thinking it will help smooth it out. China never respected us despite our efforts of friendly relations. PH will always go anti China after the Duterte's disastrous move, no matter who seat in the presidency. remember, Philippines are always Pro-US especially within our military. And your last statement a are just flat out lie. Philippines are going against China because we are trying to protect our national interest. And it's Vietnam who are the most radical in fighting off China for these waters, enough to even have military engagements with China.

The pagpag president is desperately grabbing at straws. Does anyone really trust them to return the moolah ? What can pagpag eater do if they don't return it ? Use their brahmos on them ??😅

Well because if you didn't know, Philippine has territory dispute with ASEAN members too. Philippine as an island nation bordered by sea on all side, still somehow managed to have territory disputes with all its neighbors Malaysia Brunei Indonesia Taiwan even as far away as Vietnam. And you expect ASEAN members to support you..

Why should they bow down to emperor xi? They dont support bandits acting like angels

Calm down guys, not saying bow down or anything man made decision, just from the plain sight view this looks very very bad, and you know sometimes politics have this risk taken elements that if I can do this and there will be a upper hand for me, but the thing is, in reality not a lot of nations around it are willing to take risk so the risk are fully on whoever wanted to participate, this is simple math and logic. Also if people participate in market trading they understand, this is all math. You want minimize risk and extend profits. So it’s like…this looks so bad from outside, not saying that there’s no way out, it’s just so bad from looking at it, also if someone in charge got it into that position…I’m not sure.. I’m not sure, let’s say if I’m leader of free world, I’m not sure I wanted to help personally, but it’s not personal, sometimes these things are institutional, but it’s just so bad

Given the significant amount of foreign investment moving out of China and into other Asian countries, I would say that the Philippines efforts to highlight the PLA's aggressions in the South China Sea for the world to see are working perfectly.

Exactly!!!

The Chinese claim it is Chinese territory, the Philippines claims it is the Philippines' EEZ, what the Chinese are doing is far from aggression.

There are people who wish for peace and development to bridge the differences, knowing that territorial disagreements can be settled without a war. And there are people who want conflicts to rip off profits from, so they support one side and try to make this sound like a moral ground. Let me know where you stand, my friend.

What is even more shocking is that in your understanding, territorial ownership is divided according to distance. Guam are closer to China, so why are they American territories instead of Chinese territories? During World War II, China, the United States and Britain held the Cairo Conference in Cairo and issued the Cairo Declaration, which clearly stated that the South China Sea islands illegally occupied by Japan must be returned to China. In the subsequent Potsdam Declaration, it was emphasized again that the Cairo Declaration must be implemented. You should ask yourself, as China becomes more and more powerful, why did the United States and Britain change their positions and claim that the South China Sea islands do not belong to China and that China's territorial claims to the South China Sea islands are aggression?

Let see

The Phillippines have no right to compare themselves to Ukraine. First, they and China both claimed sea territory that belonged to no one before their respective claim. Not land territory under any sort of sovereignty! Second, they were repeatedly warned by China, whereas Russia never warned Ukraine of its own intention. In fact, they purposefully misled Ukraine until the last minute before the "Special Military Operation". Third, the US unequivocally emphasized that they would avoid an armed conflict with Russia before the Ukraine war broke out, so Zelensky knew he could not count on the US or NATO to provide any direct military support. But the US did say it would respond if a Phillipino soldier died in conflict with China.

It is not about US support in the first place. It is about China's illegal invasion of Philippine's own Exclusive Economic Zone and harassment.

Are there enough bananas in the Philippines to pay for protection fees? 🤔

@@thefourthrabbit9516 I beg to disagree to your "belonged to no one before their respective claim". China just started to claim the whole South China Sea in 1947 through their newly made up imaginary 9-dashed line map, while the Scarborough and Spratly Islands in the Philipine side of South China Sea was already included to the official maps of the Philippines since 1734 (Murillo Velarde Map), 1908 and 1875 (Carta General del Archiepelago Filipino maps). In addition, the UNCLOS already provides each countries with 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zones (EEZ) in which China is also a signatory. The permanent arbitral coury already ruled on 2016 that China's 9-dashed line claim for the whole South China Sea is baseless ang illegal. The whole harassment by China is happening inside the Philippine's EEZ while China should not be there in the first place. China should abide to the inthernational law and should not harass its neighbors. That will lead to peace in the region.

There’s a huge difference between Ukraine and the Philippines. For example, there are millions of Filipino Americans in the U.S., and if the saying blood runs thicker than water ever comes to mind, you’d know that the situation is very much different unlike that of Ukraine, who just now joined NATO in the midst of being invaded.

Whataboutisms again from chinese and russians. What about the us, what about the west, what about the ph etc etc, like thatll somehow validate their illegal acts.

After World War II, the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation clearly stipulated that Japan should return the occupied territories to China. In December 1946, with the participation of the US fleet, China recovered the waters of the the Nansha Islands occupied by Japan and divided them into 12 parts. After 1949, China adjusted and changed them to the nine segment line. Before 1975, Vietnam explicitly recognized China's territorial sovereignty over the the Nansha Islands through government statements. The Paris Treaty signed by the United States and Spain in 1898 and the Washington Treaty signed in 1900 clearly defined the territorial scope of the Philippines, excluding the the Nansha Islands! This is further confirmed by the Philippine Constitution of 1953 and the Treaty of Military Alliance between the Philippines and the United States of America of 1951, which excludes the the Nansha Islands. In 2016, with the support of the United States, President Aquino III of the semi colonial Philippines unilaterally applied for the South China Sea arbitration case, which did not try territorial ownership issues. Because territorial sovereignty is a contractual issue between countries, the International Court of Justice and the United Nations do not make any judgments or regulations on territorial sovereignty. According to international law, any international trial must require both parties to participate in order to be legal. In fact, China has not participated in the South China Sea arbitration case. According to the International Convention on the Sea, 200 kilometers of the offshore waters of each country's islands belong to its economic waters. At the request of the United States and the Philippines, the South China Sea arbitration case decided that the the Nansha Islands were not islands but rocks, and wanted to use this trial to deny the economic scope of 200 kilometers off China's coast. In fact, there are many islands in the the Nansha Islands, and the largest island even has an airport runway, so the South China Sea arbitration case is a ridiculous farce. Even more absurdly, the United States did not sign the International Maritime Convention but demanded that China recognize the judgment of the South China Sea arbitration case. In 2024, the United States sanctioned the International Court of Justice with anti Semitism and did not recognize the International Court's trial of the President of Israel.

If things escalate it will not be millions it will be billions upon, billions, upon billions.

According to Basic Document No. 578 of U.S. Foreign Policy from 1977 to 1980, armed attacks under the MDT refer to the Treaty of Paris signed by Spain and the United States in 1898 and the Treaty of Washington signed by the United Kingdom and the United States in 1900 (revised in 1930 ), as well as external armed aggression against Pacific island territories under Philippine jurisdiction. In a 1975 legal interpretation, the United States further declared that it would not "recognize" Philippine sovereignty over islands in the South China Sea. During the negotiation and ratification of the 1952 Mutual Defense Treaty, the United States held that “the Spratly Islands are outside the Philippine territory ceded to the United States in the 1898 treaty with Spain.” In other words, the United States believes that the islands in the South China Sea are not within the sovereignty of the Philippines.

Both countries are behaving in an uncivilized way because one thing is absent. DIALOGUE. The area they're fighting about doesn't belong to either of them. It's being claimed by several nations. If the path of dialogue is taken, all nations may compromise and share the benefits in these contested seas. But if the path of aggression is taken ( by china or philippines or whoever) to forcelly claim and insist the area is theirs then it becomes a question of who has the biggest muscles, which again is an uncivilized way to resource differences in this day and age.

Talk this to your daddy

SCS belongs to China long before Philippines was given independence. The independence did not come with the islands. Cairo and Portsdam declaration states all SCS islands including Taiwan should be returned to China after WWII. learn some history if you're ignorant.

Before that happens, the trigger happy Chinese will make a mistake, the only reason US isn't retaliating is because no life was lost YET. China can only flex on the Philippines because they know they are adhering to international laws. If China is mighty, why haven't they taken Taiwan yet?

Because of the territorial dispute between the WPS, there was already a tension between the two nations; that was even before the current regime of Marcos. The tension just rose as Chinese maritime police kept on harassing Filipino fishermen doing their job inside the exclusive economic zone of the country. It is all like that up until this point, where soldiers are now harmed as well.

@@MaddyTweens Yeah, Ferdinand Marcos and Imelda Marcos' billion-dollar assets are also held by the US.

Because the previous government emphasized economic development, a "gentlemen's agreement" was signed with China in order to peacefully resolve territorial disputes without conflict and bring in Chinese investment and markets. And this administration is constantly strengthening nationalism and targeting their biggest economic partner. I don't understand, is money in American banks really more important than national interests?

@@MaddyTweens After World War II, the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation clearly stipulated that Japan should return the occupied territories to China. In December 1946, with the participation of the US fleet, China recovered the waters of the the Nansha Islands occupied by Japan and divided them into 12 parts. After 1949, China adjusted and changed them to the nine segment line. Before 1975, Vietnam explicitly recognized China's territorial sovereignty over the the Nansha Islands through government statements. The Paris Treaty signed by the United States and Spain in 1898 and the Washington Treaty signed in 1900 clearly defined the territorial scope of the Philippines, excluding the the Nansha Islands! This is further confirmed by the Philippine Constitution of 1953 and the Treaty of Military Alliance between the Philippines and the United States of America of 1951, which excludes the the Nansha Islands. In 2016, with the support of the United States, President Aquino III of the semi colonial Philippines unilaterally applied for the South China Sea arbitration case, which did not try territorial ownership issues. Because territorial sovereignty is a contractual issue between countries, the International Court of Justice and the United Nations do not make any judgments or regulations on territorial sovereignty. According to international law, any international trial must require both parties to participate in order to be legal. In fact, China has not participated in the South China Sea arbitration case. According to the International Convention on the Sea, 200 kilometers of the offshore waters of each country's islands belong to its economic waters. At the request of the United States and the Philippines, the South China Sea arbitration case decided that the the Nansha Islands were not islands but rocks, and wanted to use this trial to deny the economic scope of 200 kilometers off China's coast. In fact, there are many islands in the the Nansha Islands, and the largest island even has an airport runway, so the South China Sea arbitration case is a ridiculous farce. Even more absurdly, the United States did not sign the International Maritime Convention but demanded that China recognize the judgment of the South China Sea arbitration case. In 2024, the United States sanctioned the International Court of Justice with anti Semitism and did not recognize the International Court's trial of the President of Israel.

The most likely reason is Duterte's political inclinations influenced by Jose Maria Sison, the founder of the Communist Party of the Philippines, under whom Duterte studied during his university years. Duterte exhibited significant animosity towards the United States during his term. In contrast, Marcos aligns more closely with the approaches the previous Philippine presidents would have taken addressing the encroachment on the Philippines' territory.

real tbh

Sounds like dirty little Communist talk

@@NETPO. i wanna see how many likes the commie has

Zelensky is a badass leader compare to your master xi the poo so Marcos probably happy being compared to Zelensky

@@aximvs4222 i can see you didnt go to school properly

This is NOT a good basis now because we have international laws on the seas.

US is the main reason why china doing this though, the new president of the philippines needs help from the US to open their frozen bank accounts in switzerland, his father owes world bank billion , this is why they paid STAR or Stolen assets recovery iniative of worldbank $684M. Marcos Family is the most corrupt family in ASIA. That's a fact

​@@jayr122001Nicely stated.

Yes, the aircraft carrier provided "morale boosters" from 2,000 miles away when Chinese police arrested an ally's special forces unit.

US are already directly involved thru Taiwan

Look at Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas, it is close to Argentina, while it had been taken and claimed by UK backed by US. Anyone can explain? It is not a problem to make an international rule, problem is double standard. US and its friend countries can define whatever fit their interest. And this is the sources of all international conflicts.

The US and the Philippines both beat the war drums, each thinking the other should enter the battlefield.

China owned those reefs 50 years before UNCLOS exited. UNCLOS didn’t apply to disputes existed long time before its existence.

​@julioduan7130 if they did, they would have won that argument in the arbitration ruling in 2016 to which China is signatory. China is cherrypicking international laws favorable to them

except for the fact that your "territory" is also claimed by vietnam, malaysia, brunei, taiwan its a disputed between multiple nations not just china and philippines do you really think that this countries if ever by some miracle beat china they will give this to you? they also have interest on it taiwan even protest alongside with china when the philippine "won" the 2016 arbitral tribunal because same with china, they also claim all of the spratlys via 9 dashline this is a layer of disputes not just the philippines

@Paulmnl you have to look from a high perspective. Chinese claimed the whole south China sea mainly they want to break the USA containment. Look at Google map, their coastline is surrounded by American bases, south China sea especially important for their shipping lane. As long as ASEAN countries willing to join explore and jointly own the sea, China will be happy to do it since their security is protected. But when Philippines allow American to set up another 5 military bases, China has lost hope in Philippines and more conflicts will happen with Philippines.

Other ASEAN countries stay neutral & silience because they know PH is trying to help its former colonized imperial to attempt to colonize ASEAN again, and China is there to stop PH provocative behavior & maintain peace. This time PH sent military special forces with machine guns. The intention is obvious PH is attempt to use killing to threat ASEAN countries.

The Philippines is within the exclusive economic zone. China intrudes Philippine Territory. China must leave.

your imaginary 9 upgraded to 10 dash line are illegal😂😂😂

@@Paped12 Taiwan still claim the 11dash SCS. 🤣🤣🤣

@@Paped12 try intrude into China's SCS and see if it's imaginary 🤣🤣🤣
