That’s exactly the type of strong man tactics big countries use to dominate smaller countries. And exactly the way to push PH further towards the Americans.

Wow, I hope the tense situation between America and Iran don't escalate since both countries are hell bent on showing who's tougher on seizing tankers.
Seems to me that Zelenskyy isn't very enthusiastic about this counteroffensive. Western factions are pushing him toward making the move.

Don't make comment on issues you frankly don't have any good grasp on dude.
Expecting the PH to reorient itself wholly to China or balance itself out that's actually logical with it's very limited power against China has not been paying attention, well-read, well-versed with the American hold to the Philippines as a whole.
Duterte was an aberration not the norm, and frankly I was surprised that his favorability ratings didn't dip or adversely affected since he was largely seen as a PRO-CHINA politician. Which is why his political enemies and oligarchs that are ALMOST ALL PRO-AMERICA were curbstomped as to why that's the case. They began blaming social media, misinformation, disinformation because Duterte's image was supposed and should have been severely damaged from his virulent anti-American attitude.
The SCS will never be solved pragmatically for as long as your America keeps meddling in the issue fueling the anti-China narrative from all the NGO, academic, business, and security apparatus that's pushing the Philippines being a hapless victim and America honoring it's time-honored commitment as their treaty ally. When in reality, the Philippines was, is, and will always be a virtual colony of America wether they like that or not.
The cultural, spiritual, affinity and outlook of the majority of the Filipinos are very much American oriented. Their mindset can't be expected to entertain a country, let alone a country who's political system brings a lot of negative passionate feelings due to the PH ongoing issue with their separatists group, the Communist Party of the Philippines- New People's Army (CPP-NPA). The Chinese and China being largely an atheist country, doesn't speak English, non-Christian, non-Catholic country. Plus, for most of the PH modern history its education system largely ignores ASEAN countries, with a passing mention on the Japanese aggression and invasion of the PH due to American War with Japan in WWII. China barely gets any passing mention other than it was portrayed as backwards, heavily communist therefore inherently evil.
So under this condition, why WOULD YOU EXPECT THE PH ATTITUDE TOWARDS CHINA TO BE PRAGMATIC, REALISTIC AND NOT BASED ON AN IMPLICIT BIAS ONE THAT’S HEAVILY TILTED TO PROVOKE, ANTAGONISTIC TOWARDS CHINA'S INTEREST?
A lot of your takes, am sorry to say are frankly devoid of any substantial thought other than regurgitating false western narratives. You have done this with Covid-19 topic among others.
In your opinion, the PH who's size and importance as a country weighs more heavily over that of China, a country that's responsible for making the UN poverty program look good, helping the world alleviate itself during 2008 crisis, helping countries big and small improve their economic conditions, pulling ASEAN countries economies improve massively, provide life saving products during the Covid-19 pandemic etc..and yet somehow China's territorial waters MUST BE EXTREMELY LIMITED WORTHY OF A PEA SIZED COUNTRY? Okay there chump.
I actually do wish that China was a western style democracy so that we can elect a leader that's more belligerent and bellicose not going to take insults from peep squeak countries who's whole existence became a reality due to foreign conquest.
Yeah Ukraine is really a huge liability, now even Israel is complaining:
as US depletes reserve stockpiles to fuel Ukraine war
Look, India is taking solid steps to improve its education system!

Scientists in India protest
India has removed discussion of Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution from textbooks used by millions of students in ninth and 10th grades.
Pron is not technically legal in the PRC.
Not that Indians were particularly adept at scientific research, but it seems liberal democracies often devolve into fascistic theocracies or theocratic fascism.
Creationisim is particularly popular in Pompeo land like Kansas and other anti China American states, especially amongst the Protestant evangelical Christian groups.
once again, why don’t the Anglo Americans use that freedom to innovate better and best Chinese semiconductor companies?
This is a clear case of USA trying to provoke tensions.
The entire "incident" was obviously staged judging from the number of reporters on the boat and the intentional playing up of such a tiny issue. Literally all the reports sounded like they came straight from the state department.
If I had to guess, they probably just want to sell more weapons (aka stealing Filipino money) rather than really trying to provoke conflict.
