That’s cool and all but as a resident of the Philippines, China has been a pain in the ass since forever.

You know America’s been a pain in Philippines ass since 1899. They fought wars over it.

Here’s an argument… Do you subscribe to Hegel’s dialectic of idealism, or Marx’s dialectic of materialism?

They are a pain, but nowadays it’s more subtle, and people have grown to accept America somehow. But China is just grating, showing blatant disregard to the autonomy of Philippines as a country. There are many good reasons for us to be distrustful of the CCP. They are claiming lands within our maritime borders and building structures that only benefit them and are a major security concern for us.

I’m sorry your country has to deal with China and the US. It would be nice if other countries would just leave yours alone.
