Some consolation for Japan. China may take its semiconductor, automotive, and robotics industries, but at least JAV will remain the undisputed market leader for a long time to come.

The Ukraine strategy won't work in neither Taiwan nor Philippines because both would fold quickly without a direct US support. They are both island nations that depend on maritime trade routes - supplying them with weapons (like the West is doing in Ukraine) is going to be hard, the navy disparity between PLAN and TW\PH is way larger than the disparity between Russian & Ukrainian ground forces, same for air forces, and with both air & naval supremacy China can basically dictate the terms of war, controlling the pace and resources available to TW/PH.
hold on a sec.
is the ph situation actually spiralling out of control or is it just the usual media circus?

It’s more like PR propaganda to allow the US to turn the PH into a military staging platform against China. Militarizing the SCS was the correct choice after Obama military moves against China. Also Biden is going to meet with the PH president so the warmongers are clearly up to something.
And seems some pro-Ukraine accounts are doubling down on the anti-indian rethoric. Hearts and minds...
As a close Chinese ally, I volunteer to "manage" VAR on China's behalf, I sacrifice for our grand alliance.
Lets just say Russia "loses". Do Germans (which include austrians) think Russia won't reduce Germany+Austria's population to zero before this happens? 30 million soviet dead from the great patriotic war to be repaid with interest. height of stupidity.
Marcos Jr. is the Zelinsky of ASEAN/Asia. The man was elected with a considerable if not, outright historic landslide victory and his foreign policy was tacked and announced as balanced and not to be used by America as a pawn against China. Watch his speeches, his debate statements and prior statements on the Philippine-China relationship and the American constant meddling.
Now compared that to Zelensky, a man who campaigned on peace with Russia where he was elected overwhelmingly as well based on the false promise of peace and then 3 years later the War in Europe.
Reading the comments in that thread between pro-Ukrainians vs Indians are a thing to behold. Popcorn time!!
Ultra-jingoism and testosterone fest. Those two peoples are infested with ultra-nationalism to a degree that seems to have stolen a march on them. There is no balanced thinking. One of them even has a fucking racial mass murderer as Bandera as their national hero.
