Playing cat and mouse game with the Philippines is such a waste of resources. If this was the US, they would have sunk a few PH ships to make a point. Sadly China is too timid to do such things. That's why Philippines is so bold.

Take it from the POV of the Chinese, can the Philippines sustained this kind of operation with its limited resources.

They are like Ukraine, they have unlimited resources from the west. PH is getting direct dollar funding and also ships are being donated to them in rapid fashion. Moreover, I don't think they even care about resource wastage at this point. They are pretty much hell bent on provoking China until they get even more help from US and others.

Whether or not phillipines can sustain this sort of operations is not the main issue here. This is embarrassing and just plain bad optics for the professionalism of the CCG and the PLAN( more for the former). It's essentially a Pinoy PR victory online.

At a time when every ship is needed they just rammed into and damaged a valuable type 52d. I hope the damage to the destroyer isn't too severe and there is no loss of life. The CCG captain deserves to get hanged for this stupid stunt that they pulled.

Are you sure? if it's true then we will be flying a brand new F16 block 70 patrolling the area instead of F50 trainers that lack the range.

A bigger frigate, fully armed that can give the Chinese Type 54a frigate a run for their money instead they gave us a shell of a frigate from SK that had NO capability to match the type 56a corvette.

There is an Oligarchy campaign with help of the American to impeached her so that she can't run for the presidency in 2028, with the US involvement, chances are it may succeed as most of the government institutions can be bribe

Thought that impeachment effort against her was over because it failed.

That's politics right? Once it loses, it tends to not come back.
