Ich muss sagen, ich respektiere sie für diese Entscheidung. Sie stellen sich einem Drachen entgegen, der nur mit Schwert und Schild dasteht. Westtaiwan wird die Lage weiter eskalieren lassen, während sie alle ihre verschiedenen Optionen ausprobieren. Doch jedes Mal, wenn Westtaiwan dies tut, zeigt es der Welt, wie unvernünftig sie sind. Ihre lächerlichen Ansprüche im Südchinesischen Meer verursachen viele Probleme. . .

>Philippines Rejects U.S. in South Chine Sea
The article really doesn’t say anything of the sort? Why use a made up headline?
Calling china as west Taiwan is just so childish.
Another regime change loading…
They said they’d try to deal with it themselves before resorting to help from the U.S. It doesn’t say that they refused help from the US.
Also that’s fine…it’s not like the U.S isn’t chilling nearby…with bases in Japan, and 8 bases in the Philippines itself.
Headline is misleading, as they are still cooperating. All it says is that Manila knows that US help would be highly provocative and fuel the Chinese propaganda narrative that the Philippines is no more than a geopolitical pawn of Washington.
The main reason Marcos has decided to take a more assertive stance on the territorial dispute is the failure of his predecessor to resolve the dispute with an appeasment approach and a desire to bring international attention and ultimately, in the long term, force Beijing to back down.
