The Philippines have announced more effort to counter China militarily
in the South China Sea. Other than announcing that it will increase its
military budget, it is now seeking funds from other countries, it has
acquires more military hardware, the latest are two big navy ships from
the Americans. It has also announced that it will be moving it armed
forces to the Subic Naval Base to be nearer to the islands in dispute so that
it can react to the Chinese presence.
The fighter aircrafts and warships will be able to engage the Chinese faster in the new base.
Philippines also has the backing of the US and Japan and should present a
very formidable challenge to the Chinese forces in the area. The
Chinese must be shivering in their pants. The strongest military power
of Asean is flexing its muscles and telling China not to trifle with it
or would face a military challenge by the latter.
With such a strong and concerted effort to strengthen its military
forces and fighting capability, it is only a matter of time before China
pull out its presence in the South China Sea or risk being attacked by
the Philippines. The writing is on the wall and China better take heed
and move out. The Philippines is serious and means business and will go
to war with China.

I read that during the Japanese attack on Singapore in 1942, General Yamashita pulled a bluff on General Percival and caused the British to panic and surrender.
So don't be daft and fall for the bluff.
Wah. Gotta hand it to the Pinoys: they have big balls but even bigger mouths.
ReplyDeleteBig mouth has 2 distinct advantages:
1. Can suck Uncle Sam's dick -- "me ruv you rong time"
2. Can talk big to China
Putang ina mo! 他妈的你的母亲!
CHINA is too BIG for any forces.........Tired of living can try try..........Otherwise can just talk talk only......but after a while pls shut up!....
ReplyDeleteThis is stupid. Look at how they handle Hong Tai Tour bus hijack sitaution. They can't even handle one lone gunner and yet talk cock about challenging China. As usual only Singapore Government think highly of Pinoys and employ them. They are really a bunch of idiots.
ReplyDeleteI was about to mention this. Still remember the image of a police man holding a 'ghost pistol' in his hands..

Not really lah. It is because Pinoys are the best available and in the numbere required for the jobs that they are employed.
If Africans or even Eskimos are the best available, I am sure PAP govt would have employed them too.
Remember, we get the best foreign talents available from the whole, wide world, based on meritocracy and regardless of race.
I repeat, best available, not best hor.
ReplyDeleteNo use being the best if he/she is not available, tio bo?
Pinoys will use shock and awe cold call marketing, irritate you with those damn accent and refuse to hang up.
ReplyDeleteFight with CHINA?......Must be tired of living........
ReplyDeleteWonder whether the Chinese in the Philippines ready support their own country, or just for show to stay in power .

ReplyDeleteThere is a Chinese saying to the effect that one must check who is the dog's master before whacking the offending dog.Since it is a Chinese saying, China must know and use it.
ReplyDeleteIt is not that China fear Pinoy country.It does not want to offend the dog owners.
oldhorse, you are partially right. You only have to watch who is the dog's owner if the owner carries a bigger stick than you. When you think you carry just as big a stick, you don't have to look at the owner.
ReplyDeleteYou just whack the dog when the dog barks.
Small dick now number two super power.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the point of having a big but useless dick?
Impotency can be overcome-d
ReplyDeletewith Viagra(US).
When the products are still inferior goods, what for?
ReplyDeleteAiya big dick needs Viagra but small dick don't need still can have the largest world population, so which is better? Big or small? Tio Bo?
ReplyDeleteThere is no free lunch in the world, the pinoys will not get the advanced Ageis combat systems, or F-35 jet fighters, from the US for free even if they 're-invite' the Amercians back.
ReplyDeleteMilitary deployments & exercises need $$$ who is going to foot the bill ?
狐假虎威 Hu Jia Hu Wei can be used to described the Pinoys in the Wispers of the Chinsese Wisdom:
ReplyDeleteA big tiger caught a fox in the forest and was just about to eat it. But suddenly the fox said,” wait a minute! You must not eat me! I was sent by Heaven to rule the animals. How dare you want to me! You must know by eating me, you will violate the command of Heaven. If you don’t believe me, just follow me to see whether the animals are afraid of me.” The tiger thought for a while. Then, he tiger decided to follow the fox and prove his words. Of course, the animals were afraid to the tiger, not the fox. But the tiger thought they were afraid of the fox, so he let the fox go. He did not realize that it was him that the animals were really afraid of. “Hu Jia Hu Wei” means a fox borrows the tiger’s power or influence. It means: relying on another’s power to bully or frighten others.
In the Case of China,
ReplyDeleteno tiger or lion is going
to be of any use.
It is made by Heaven to
be a dragon. No Earthly
being is able to frighten
the Chinese in the World.
The West got to pay
obeisance and respect
to all Chinese anywhere
in the World.
The Reason is very simple;
all Chinese who passed on
are sent to the West(西天).
There is where the Chinese
get the greatest satisfaction.
Get it!
Would USA risk a war with China over a shoal claimed by the Pinoys.
ReplyDeleteBiden came to Singapore and said US would co-operation between India and Asean.
Would USA risk a war with China over a shoal claimed by the Pinoy????
ReplyDeleteUS Vp Biden came to Singapore and said US would boost co-operation between India and Asean.
US wants India,Japan and Asean on her side ,blind also can see right?
But China is now the largest trading nation with countries in Asia.
So is TPP US reply to isolate China economically as China is excluded in the talks ??
