At this point the best thing China can do is keep up the pressure on Taiwan and make it enter the news every day.
Americans will get tired of it just like they did with Hong Kong, Xinjiang and Xizang. Then they'll move on to finding their next atrocity.
Police cracked down on people who protested this Tuesday morning in front of the US Embassy in Manila against the Balikatan Exercises between the Philippines and the US
Russia will grow as much as France and Italy despite sanctions while the UK and Germany sink, according to the IMF, again. Brits in the comments in denial over it all and brexit.
Well it appears that the Philippines is heading on a path to war. It seems to be cooperating very well with its American master. It doesn't matter what Marcos Jr. is saying in his election campaign, or trip to China, actions speak louder than words. We might be returning to the belligerent days of the Aquino administration. Yet its still early days in the Marcos Jr administration, so this doesn't bode well for Sino-PH ties.
In the last decade, the PH coastguard has the notorious reputation of using lethal force on foreign vessels it considers 'intruders'. Other coastguards would only go as far as using water cannons and ramming. But the PH coastguards have been the most trigger happy to use bullets on foreign vessels. They only found restraint against opening fire on Mainland Chinese boats, for obvious reasons.
The Filipino military, though nothing compared to the Chinese military, has actually improved during the Duterte administration. It could not truly threaten China, but it can threaten other ASEAN nations, especially Malaysia. If the PH heats up its territorial dispute with Malaysia over Sabah, it could on paper, threaten Malaysia much better today than it could in 2013. This might be the hidden danger from the PH's return to belligerency.
They won't even have that lol, Chinese donghua is gaining fast in every category its allowed to compete in (ie not hentai and extreme violence).

Somehow it feels like Macron is just doing this to get a better deal from Biden/US..
The guy likes to play the mediator. Just search what he was doing pre-Ukraine and 2022 Ukraine. When the time actually comes then he will fold like everyone else except he will try to play the “3rd party role” (in bad faith) or you know the same old “good cop, bad cop” routine.

That fat loser didn't utter a word about that shit when he was in office and now that he's sitting at home spewing diarrhea out of his mouth when there are no consequences, all of a sudden he's the toughest edgiest anti-China guy in the world. Like I said yesterday, America is the biggest hot air balloon of a country there is:

When not there:
"Bro, you let him get away after he said that shit to you??!! If I was there, I would have mauled that guy; he would have wished he were dead. I'd shut his fat mouth in an instant! Ohh, I wish I were there!"
When actually there:
"Bro, why do we have to do this? We both have families, it's a Friday night, why don't we just shake hands and walk away? Look, bro, we'll both wake up tomorrow morning happy we didn't do anything crazy or stupid tonight."
