China will have zero interest in occupying the Philippines. That’s their wet dream to get a new Colonial Daddy to build their country for them.

China has the means to easily demilitarise and deindustrialise the Philippines with cheap drone and bombs as two ends of the spectrum in terms of how much of an example Beijing might seek to make.

But China will have zero appetite for occupation, since that opens them to accusations of being an expansionist power, which Beijing is unusually sensitive to. Additionally, an occupation will be far more costly in terms of lives and treasure, and also have no real clear endgame other than US style cut-and -run pullouts that will only tarnish China’s image and military deterrence.

If the Philippines is stupid enough to push China into a kinetic response, it will be a short and sharp series of strikes designed to degrade the Military and industrial capabilities of the Philippines to a sufficient degree to set an example and make a point. That’s as far as Chinese military options will go.

For those who are interested, it will be established as a listening post to track Chinese submarine transiting from SCS to East China sea or vice versa. Batanes can't handle any ship bigger than 4,000 ton. The Island is to small, rocky and barely support the population of 18,000, a logistical nightmare if you ask me cause I'm being there twice. Water is a big problem as it had to be imported from the Philippine mainland and also it is frequently crisscross by typhoon. Heck the Chinese didn't need to attack the island let mother nature do her thing for them. ;)

You've been wrong multiple times about the Marcos regime since 2022 that the USA has no power over the Philippines and deployment of American forces. I recall you even said, he fired cops that were "Pro USA". I suggest you read this, not as an insult but re-assessment.
