Every once in a while we get posters like you acting all tough and shit, who basically thinks and acts like you're owed by China and it's Chinese leaders not mention the people that had to literally work their sweats off in order for China to rise and achieve the things it achieve thus far. I don't know you personally nor would I care to know, but you're posts on this forum thus far are mostly demands and pronouncements that China needs to spend x amount of RMB to rid the big bad west damn the consequences for the rest of humanity not to mention the insane destruction, loss of lives for China as well. You sound like one frustrated sod no offense. But you're rant and demand is just deranged especially if you have done nothing to contribute itself to the motherland other than being a free loading miserable person. If you're not Chinese person then it's even worse. Stop projecting your lot in life and frustrations on China. Fix with whatever is going on with your life and I wish you the best. If you're itchy to see combat, sign up in the military with the PLA if you're Chinese, if not then sign up with whatever country's military you're living under. Other than that, stop writing nonsense and on topic you are utterly clueless about. It's irritating and frankly f..ng annoying.

USG just went mask off and demanded people use the US dollar or else. Like a crime boss threatening you to take his funny money for your goods, or else.

What's the context there? I have no clue at all and I have lived in the Philippines for a decade. I don't understand how the majority of the Filipinos think they're so brave and can take on China's military no problem when the country's actual warriors aren't even considered Filipino. Read the sanitized version of that island country's history and you'll notice that the very fist significant person that fought against the eventual Spanish colonizer was not Catholic dude, with a Spanish name. In fact, the man came to be known as Lapu Lapu was from a long forgotten member of warrior tribe thought to be of muslim/Islamic faith although many Colonizers/Filipino historian love to dispute this nugget since that history dilutes the contributions of Muslims/Islam to the defense of that archipelago. Most of the heroes they love to parade are actual hacienderos, land owning/rent seeking figures most prominent of all which was Jose Rizal. A man of supposed prominent intellect that wrote 2 books in calling out discriminatory policies of then Spanish government namely El Filibusteresmo and Noli Metangere. These books were made as instrumental in finally riling up the local elites to rise against their Spanish masters. Filipinos see themselves as some kind of Spanish offspring when the last time I checked based on their DNA testing that there are only few Filipinos that actually have Spanish blood. Most of them don't have a lick of Spanish DNA at all period but the people love to cling on that shitty association which goes to show how cucked the people are. So when American's took over as the new boss of that country, it was not so difficult for them to see them as their new white master.

It's 2023, war is basically inevitable. Why shouldn't I be upset that the leadership is asleep at the wheel which will result in large amounts of unnecessary and avoidable loss of live and property in the PRC?

You can post nonsense ad hominem attacks against me that have no relation to reality but the reality is still here.

Well, PH could have had some economic growth if they stopped being lapdogs but whatever. PH will continue being a sad place with zero prospects other than supplying Filipinas to the Western white people (be it mail order brides, entertainment for LBH tourists or countless cheap porn videos) that they will need this kind of cheap posturing & internet bravery to feel good about themselves. Other than that, they have nothing - weak military, decrepit and non-existent infrastructure, stagnant and failing economy, low education levels, etc.

Frankly, China does not need Philippines in any way or form - access to the ocean will be provided after re-unification and that's the only thing PH could offer. So if they are stupid enough to join the war, China could just destroy their ports, US military installations and whatever infrastructure they have plus provide support to rebel groups like NPA, then just sit and watch the country plunging into chaos. There would be zero need to actually put the boots on the ground because their decrepit military would have no ways of even reaching the strait after that.

To be fair the CPTPP already had Japan in it. This just means that instead of a 5% chance of China making it in, it's closer to a 0% chance now. Free trade agreements with members of the US alliance system are basically impossible now which necessitates a faster shift to the developing world.

Much has been said about Chinese de-dollarization but it isn't happening. They've just shifted their portfolio out of US treasuries to US Agencies and other debt instruments. Which implies some level of resistance from within the policymaking circles at the PBOC to serious de-coupling with the dollar system. It is concerning to say the least.
