Can’t afford to go to war with China over sea row, Duterte admits

[Uguduwa]

Duterte is a wise leader.



LoL

Their divisions are long and deep. This will never happen.

China and Russia hate each other as much as Asian NATO hates each other.

Not really.

Both Russia and China were communists.

They had rivalry which they gave up to confront the US.

The same is not the case in SE Asia.

Japan is seen as colonial power by many.

SE nations have many border disputes amongst themselves.

The number means little. we failed behind in islands building and militarization. Our navy is still too weak. We need more money. We need more time. The more you get busy with America, Japan, UK, Australia, Philippines, Indonesia, India, the better for us.

As for never dare challenge China directly, you live in America hence you should know it:

If you meet a bigger hooligan you either call the police or take a bigger gun.

Bro, Vietnam is the last country China want to fight. We are damn the same. The only difference between us is a concept which is nationality.

Just think about it, the difference between Uigur and Han are much bigger, different face, language, food, religion, clothes, festivals, body language, and many others. Many China minorities have much bigger difference with Han Chinese. But still we are Chinese.

Chinese or none Chinese is a just a concept of autognosis which was inculcated in young age. Nothing sacred. The nationality itself is a man made concept base on language, culture, history, myth and made up stuff, etc.

So the thing is, Vietnamese can be Chinese, Chinese can be Vietnamese. I always go to a Pho restaurant, always look at the Vietnamese girls, boys, damn, we are the same when we speak English.

SCS is a water, China need it. Vietnam need it as well. The best way is build a EU like org, resolve the security issues and share the damn resource. Problem resolved.

Of course they did. But Russia is not in a position to back stab China as US does not want to partner with Russia to bring down China like it did with China to bring down USSR.

LOL Putin doesn't seem to think so. Maybe one day when you become President of Russia you can tell everybody the truth.

LOL. Viets =/= Chinese. They're more similar to Japanese. Their facial features... I can often mistake Japs for Viets. Their voices sound the same. Their written languages are simplistic (compared to Chinese). They act the same (often throw violent tantrums). Just look at Jap dramas, they suddenly become violent out of nowhere, need to destroy a few furnitures to tame their anger -- exactly how a Viet behaves. On the other hand look at Ye Xiu (The King's Avatar) he says he's angry but doesn't express it on his face. Japs eat raw salmon, Viets eat raw pork. Both have bath teeth. Both countries shaped like "S". Viet is just a poor version of Japanese, both sides of the same coin.

China almost absorbed Vietnam in history for many times, nothing special. Just one of 百越.
China herself is a concept of civilization, just like western civilization counter part. Difference is normal, homogenization is abnormal.

I appreciate your good intention.
However we are generations way from wish to reality.
Now the Philippines is your best friend.
Why not make them the offer? Philippines and China to join the union?

 

[Zsari]

Of course they did. But Russia is in position to back stab China as US does not want to partner with Russia to bring down China like it did with China to bring down USSR.

Russia knows well without China, it will bear the full blow of the US aggression. Any partnership between US and Russia will spell disasters for Russia as US is pursuing the goal of perpetual global dominance and Russia will always be seen as an enemy. The decades following the end of the cold war has taught Russia exactly that dearly.

China is a country that backstabbed Russia and it will never be forgotten.

What backstabbing were you talking about? It was Khrushchev that broke relation with China first.

MANILA, Philippines — President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday once again admitted he could not afford to go to war against China in asserting the Philippines’ sovereignty in the South China Sea.

During his penultimate State of the Nation Address on Monday, Duterte stressed that China is already “in possession” of the contested waters.

“We have to go to war. And I cannot afford it. Maybe some other president can but I cannot. Inutil ako diyan. Talagang inutil ako diyan. Walang magawa [I’m useless when it comes to that. Really, I’m useless to that. I can’t do anything]. I cannot,” the President said.

“China is claiming it, we are claiming it. China has the arms. We do not have it. So, it’s as simple as that. They are in possession of the property…so what can we do?” he added.

‘Diplomatic endeavor’
The chief executive issued this pronouncement as he addressed criticisms that the Philippine government doing “nothing” to “retake forcefully or physically the South China Sea.”

“Unless we are prepared to go to war, I would suggest that we better just cool off and treat this as a diplomatic endeavor,” Duterte said.

“The moment I send my marines there at the coastal shores of Palawan and they all get hit with cruise missiles — they have not even set sail, they’re already blown up,” he further said, speaking partly in Filipino.

Earlier, Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. called as “non-negotiable” the historic ruling by the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in The Hague on July 12, 2016, which invalidated China’s expansive claims over the entire South China Sea.

The decision also upheld the Philippines’ rights over its 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ) under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

But in response, the Chinese Embassy in Manila claimed that the PCA ruling was “illegal and invalid.”

On the other hand, Malacañang assured Filipinos that the Philippine government did not waive or relinquish its rights over the contested areas in the West Philippines Sea.

This, even after the Palace had previously said it would “agree to disagree” on China’s rejection of the Philippines’ appeal for compliance with the 2016 ruling.



Just one week after the US Navy attempted to wrest Scarborough Shoal from China with its dual aircraft carrier exercises and China defended with its own dual aircraft carrier exercises and live fire anti-ship attack exercises, the Philippines has surrendered to China. Trump has never been humiliated so badly except by the epidemic that has infected 5 million Americans and continues to climb rapidly.

No one wants to be a proxy to war. Well, other than Australia I guess.

My grandfather is from China closest part to Vietnam. Him and Viets share nothing in common. Just trust me on this the moment China mass absorbs Vietnamese into its gene pool (ie. those cheap brides), the country is doomed. 5000 years of civilization gone. You think half-Viets will capable of anything like design J-20, etc.? Vietnamese genes r like Japanese unable to achieve anything serious on the world stage, always take an inferior position to the Whites. Best way to destroy China without firing a single bullet is to destroy the Han DNA, which shares nothing in common w Viets nor Japs. Han DNA is the greatest threat to White superiority... which is y they want to topple CCP replace with Manchus, Mongolians, half-breeds anything to make the Han an ethnic minority.

You are right, Vietnamese don't shared genetic principal compoments with Han Chiese.

Opposite. Russia backstabbed itself with Krushchev's denouncement of Stalin, which led to the later ideological justification for Gorbachev's glasnost and opening the Soviet archives to internal instigators like Yuri Afanasiev.

Mao on the other hand upheld the original ideology of Marx and Lenin which has legitimate roots through Stalin and Malenkov.

China PLA attacked on Soviet army in 1969. In the same tactic, PLA attacked with Indian recently.
