Yet another time, it is shown that American military personnel on Japan are exempt from local laws. The guy ran over 2 people in Japan. Now, he is out and back in the USA as if nothing had happened. Equal allies...
Bro the Chinese had never wrong him and his family, in fact even in challenging time when China had come out of the cultural revolution they had stop funding the CPP NPA at its strongest from 1976 to 1986, where Marcos regime was on the verge of being overthrown.How is Marcos Jr. Pro-China though? I understand and have read some of his past statements with regards to China along with his most recent visit to the country, but in terms of actual actionable policies, he's been nothing but pro or even neutral. He has exacerbated the tension in the SCS and in my view needlessly escalated an issue that should have been handled diplomatically and most importantly not be used by America for their own desired geopolitical interests in the region.
As for Marcos Jr. being under the influence of his wife, he's simply following the old familiar tradition of his late father. Imelda was seen as the corrosive influence to Marcos Sr. which ultimately undone he's supposed virtues and good intentions for the Philippines. Besides, I keep hearing amongst Filipinos that Marcos being of "ILOCANO" him being under the thumb of his wife is par for the course as many ILOCANO men suffer the same fate. You must recognize that the Philippine people comes from differing cultural values, norms, and mores. Not to mention ethnic languages that comes with its own sub-culture of which ILOCANO is one of the more prominent in the Philippines, the other is Visaya/Cebuano which is spoken in the Southern part of the Philippines like Cebu to Mindanao where DUTERTE is from.
So what's the trick here. I don't trust that stuff since Chen Shui Bian so they must be doing something behind the scenes while pretending they are legit.Interesting line from Pentagon's China Report

I think the leaders in China knew this deep down. Even if the KMT won, knowing them they would claim they will do all this stuff while leaving disappointing results. The US has a strong actual grip on the country. The parties don't matter as much. It's just a charade at this point and it doesn't actually solve the issue.
Taiwan is already gone. There’s zero soft power to win back Taiwan.
Responsibility of keeping the peace is 100% on Taiwan locals... They're the ones that need to win back trust.
