Err… the Philippines, the former US colony? Where currently new US military bases are being built? Which China has never ruled, attempted to rule, or said they want to rule?
You’re worried that China is going to claim the Philippines???
They wouldn’t claim the Philippines without a war.
But the Chinese government is trying to claim territorial waters, and their aggression toward all their neighbors is exactly why the Philippines have decided to work with the US and open new bases.
They may not claim it, but they are definitely the aggressor in the territory, and most of their neighbors do not view the Chinese government as ‘the good guys’; that’s not to say they view the US as ‘the good guys’ either, simply as the one that isn’t actively aggressive and could assist in their defense.
Anyone with even a smidge of knowledge about the actual situation of the Taiwan issue.
Contrary to what’s usually depicted, neither Taiwan nor China consider Taiwan as an independent country. Taiwan, or more accurately the Republic of China (ROC), claims sovereignty over this territory.
Both the ROC and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) consider Taiwan to be a province of China, it just happens that the ROC only has control over Taiwan while the PRC has control over China
So what’s next, allowing China to also claim the Philippines?

True, the CCP claiming The Philippines would be seen as ridiculous by the rest of the world.
Then again, the CCP has never ruled Taiwan either…

Oh yeah that’s like exactly the same situation.
Or, you know, you could actually respect the right to self determination of the Taiwanese people, rather than "America bad"ing your way to imperialism

That’s a great story you have there, you should pitch it to netflicks.
Good idea. Maybe that’ll stop the at least some of uninformed comments here.
Don’t put yourself down like that. It really was a good piece of fiction.
Which part?
Post citations. The only fiction I see is what you’re trying to imply.
Back up your words.
Damn, your ass must be smoking from all the gaslighting just not working today.
I wonder who’s downvoting this

Thanks, that was a clear explanation.
