On and off 20 years all over the archipelago. When I'm friendly they ask if I'm Korean
Oh nice!! Are you still in the PH by any chance? They ask you if you're Kpop because of the strong Korean soft power influence in the country of which China can and must play that game in order to turn the negative perception of not just the country but of people.

He's not Indian. He's just got weird attitudes similar to those falungong idiots and of course has such a strange unbalanced view of reality - China could nuke Guam for Taiwan getting nuked by USA o_O The guy is a bit unhinged and seems to be a person with the right intentions (giving benefit of doubt) but a little bit too naive perhaps? Maybe just more innocent and certainly a bit ignorant or dismissive of facts.

@duskseeker bro It hurts but its true, if you look at paintings and old picture you can see the battered face of the Filipino, slavery working from Dusk to Dawn in the open under the sun, it tax you physically and mentally and also the diet. The brown skin , the small Filipino physique compared that to the Spaniard and even the Chinese one can get where the inferiority complex comes from. But bro in our defense presently Filipina women are the best in the world, with mix race marriage, we had produce beautiful Mestiza with different mixture of race. You can distinguish Hua Qiao girls from that of greater China region, cause they both had the front and back bumpers...lol with goldilocks skin tone , not to white and not to brown just perfect...:) And also I almost forgot there is a Filipino thing called Macho (manly) well you know a term to cover up his small sized by being manly..lol dreaming of blond beauty is every Filipino man dream, its a way to cover up its inadequacy...lol

Regarding politics, Mestizo and celebrities had a greater chance being elected in office. Its sad but it is true. But Duterte change all that with his victory in 2016 and will be his legacy thru his performance.
Yes a bit of Malay blood improve the appearance and physique of Huaqiao girl, the eye is rounder, double eyelid is natural no need to go to plastic surgeon. The peranakan is also a Mestizo but more Chinese according to the latest Gnome DNA result

THE STUDY​

Blood samples for the study - the Singapore Peranakan Genome Project - were collected from 177 volunteer members of The Peranakan Association Singapore (TPAS) and others in the community in February 2018.

In August 2019, Professor Foo and Professor Wang Chaolong from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, as principal investigators in the project, shared some aggregated findings at the Peranakan Identity: Who Am I? forum jointly organised by TPAS and GIS.

Out of the 177 blood samples from volunteer donors studied, GIS’s analysis determined that 90 per cent had averaged 90 per cent Chinese DNA and 10 per cent Malay DNA. The remaining 10 percent of the blood samples, a significant segment, showed 100 per cent Chinese DNA.

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday lauded the completion of a China-funded bridge that highlights the "goodwill of the Chinese people and its government." The Estrella-Pantaleon (EP) Bridge over the Pasig river is a two-way, four-lane V-shaped concrete girder bridge that connects the cities of Makati and Mandaluyong, two major cities in Metro Manila. An estimated 50,000 vehicles will pass by the bridge per day. The EP bridge, constructed by China Road and Bridge Corporation, is a flagship project under the Philippine government's "Build, Build, Build" infrastructure program. "I would also like to express our gratitude to the government of the People's Republic of China for financing the project. The 1.46-billion-peso funding that they have extended highlights the goodwill of the Chinese people and its government and further cements the good relations between our two countries. The new bridge will help ease traffic congestion along major thoroughfares in Metro Manila and will improve the mobility of people and goods between Makati and Mandaluyong. It will also support our efforts for a gradual reopening of economy, and improve the resilience of roads and bridges in Metro Manila against natural disasters," said Duterte. Duterte and Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian witnessed together the inauguration of the EP bridge on Thursday. Huang said the completion of EP Bridge marks major progress of the synergy between the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the "Build, Build, Build" program, signifying the multiple China-Philippines government-to-government cooperation projects are entering into a new stage of harvest.

From the rabid right wing U.K. newspaper daily express:

South China Sea tensions boil over as Biden and Harris throw down gauntlet to Beijing

JOE BIDEN and US Vice-President Kamala Harris will throw down the gauntlet to Beijing as tensions continue to soar in the South China Sea.

Chinese military ‘live-fire exercise’ in South China Sea in May

Ms Harris will embark on her first visit to Asia later this month since she entered the White House and will issue a stern warning to China over the growing militarisation of the disputed waterways. The 56-year-old will place a strong emphasis on defending international rules in the South China Sea, strengthening US regional leadership and expanding security cooperation, a US official said.

Interesting Huxijin take on competition between US and China in SEA

As China's power grows faster and the power gap between the US and China narrows, not only Singapore but other countries in Southeast Asia are moving towards a neutral position.


Here is the interview in question
Speaking at the virtual Aspen Security Forum, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said "no good" can arise from a conflict between the US and China. He said it's vital for them to engage each other to head off a clash, which would be disastrous For both sides and the world. Subscribe to our channel here:

@Hendrik_2000 bro its a beautiful bridge, compare it to the recently completed BGC bridge build by our DPWH the quality , design and the workmanship is incomparable. It will become an iconic bridge on the Pasig River, another one is soon to finish Binondo Intramurous Bridge once done people will go there not to used it but to take SELFIE so instead of mitigating traffic it will create one....lol it will create a beautiful skyline with the sunset as its back drop.
