This is a repeat of Ukraine. Jailing opposition and silencing critics. I think the goal of the west is to just damage China's manufacturing capabilities and in return since the Philippines has nothing and is the perfect example of an Asian rice powered sex machine for the west. China's military retaliation will be worth less than the missiles they spend shooting at them. Also it blocks most of ASEAN trade. I wonder why China is so lax or laid back in soft retaliation?

Attacking a country as pitiful and militarily useless as the Philippines, especially when compared to China's industrial and technological might, would hardly be an accomplishment. It would certainly be nothing for China to be proud of.

The goal, it seems, is precisely to bait China into squashing the Philippines like a bug. Such an action would damage China itself – the very nation projected to deliver GDP growth greater than the U.S. and Europe, arguably the world's most crucial engine of economic strength.

The continued rise of ASEAN countries and Asia, it appears, must not be permitted, no matter what Europeans and Canadians proclaim through their vaunted media and social media platforms.

Imagine a war breaking out in the region: suddenly, manufacturing strategies like onshoring, reshoring, friendshoring – every 'shoring' scheme imaginable – would gain immense momentum, jumpstarting the process with lightning speed. Simultaneously, the anti-China media narratives cultivated for decades – portraying supposed malevolent intentions, warlike aims, and imperialistic ambitions – would appear validated for the entire world to witness.

China absolutely must not take any action that would hand the Western world the justification it craves or fulfill its apparent lust for confrontation.

If war becomes unavoidable, it must directly involve the United States. Only then can China confront and beat up on the true master, the ringleader, the greatest proliferator of mass propaganda: the U.S. itself.

I'm not sure of that. If done at the right moment, a war could broadly benefit China, economically and strategically.

There are no options other than China for advanced goods. Especially in 2-5 years when humanoid robots becomes a large market and Beijing has shored back world semiconductors to the mainland.

An occupation of the Philippines will prove that US has no ability to hold onto its empire. China does not need to attack all of US in one go. It would also be a primer for the Chinese population to get used to supporting military expansion.

Imperialism would be attacking neutral nations, select third world countries are not neutrals, but rather support American Imperialism, American hostility and American territorial threat to China by their existence. Making them choose between Chinese occupation or American occupation isn't Imperialism, it's cleaning house from real Imperialism.

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.
