I wonder how other ASEAN members think when they see this.
Especially that the US block the garments export affecting 5,000 workers, nice strategic move Marcos.
The Philippine Trade Department said the issue involved “detained apparel exports” in the U.S. but did not elaborate. A Philippine trade official told the AP ...
The more PH escalate things, the more chance China has to start more island building. I wonder if they will take that opportunity. If they can build an island in scarborough, that will be the ultimate slap in the face PH and the MDT that they worship.
There is an estimated 200 thousand Filipino nationals working in Hong Kong, i do not have data about Filipino workers in Mainland China, but perhaps China can use this as leverage to put pressure on the Philippine government. The Muslims were quite successful in this approach, recall that there are thousands of Filipino workers in the middle east, as a result, muslim lobbying were able to use this to extract concessions from the Philippine government to grant demands from muslim separatists in southern Philippines, as well as enact certain policies that give special treatment to Muslims in general in the Philippines. This is what ethnic Chinese in the Philippines should do as well, form political blocks that can muster enough influence and power to extract concessions from the Philippine government.

I don't think it's the style of China to use innocent people as bargaining chips. It's too humanistic and does not go to that low.
Double that, an example is when a rogue Manila policeman seizes a bus that led to a botched operation killing some of the hostages, that event happen under Benigno Aquino Jr administration the originator of Anti-China policy, instead of retaliation Beijing urges restrain and ask for a probe.

Watch china resolve the situation in 4 years just like HK and everything else but will be pretty weighty. They never react, they respond.
Unless the U.K. JAPAN are going to have an all SOCIETY mobilization and are prepared for a future conflict that's going to determine the next world order then I just don't see how this MARKETING ploys by these nations are to be taken too literally.
These actions are designed or intended to shore up the public support in the PH to essentially volunteer as the next Ukraine. This action ITSELF is trying to bait the Chinese leadership a more aggressive posture or make a preemptive action ala Russia vs Ukraine redux. That way the west can enact their Economic blockade because it worked well against Russia.
This is more of an insult to the intelligence of the Chinese leadership as if to suggest that they're as reckless and dumb as the Russians; attacking an opponent with severe unpreparedness and underestimation of Ukraine resolve/esprit de corps.
