I am not certain if my assumption is based on a certain heightened vigilance for any anti-China bias whether real or perceived because I just decided to fiddle with Microsoft's Copilot and asked the top countries with the highest GDP. It provided with the list of countries with an accompanying pictures that best represent the said countries. All countries (5 countries) on the list have a picture with the lone exception of the number 2: China. A.I. is not free from BIAS/WILFULL OMISSION OF FACTS?

Philippines should understand that ASEAN members, such as Malaysia, will not choose sides.

The warmongers in the US know that time is not on their side, and they are really desperate.

It's about time.

“If we are to examine DNA, there are very few Filipinos with no Chinese DNA. My family actually makes much of the fact that we have, within our family tree, an infamous Chinese pirate who used to operate within the waters of the then South China Sea. That cannot be discounted,” he said.

The Marcos family is filled with controversy and had made many fraudulent claims before. Marcos is delusional if he is implying that he has blood ties to Koxinga, whom the Spaniard feared as an infamous Chinese pirates.

That usually happens after they run out of savings and have too much cognitive dissonance to admit their mistake.

A lot of these people seriously believe they will be living in paradise once they reach the US et al. The social media they consume in China tells them everything is free here and they can get money for doing nothing.

Koxinga operate in Taiwan, Limahong established his base in Lingayen, after being defeated by the Spaniards he retreated first to Vigan Ilocos Norte ( Marcos home province) then to Batanes.

I think you are the conflating the two, Koxinga fought the Dutch ( their former allies against the Qing) While the Spaniards do fear Limahong as he ransack Manila before being driven out by the combined Spanish and native troops. After that the Spanish establish a Chinese Ghetto, the first Chinatown in the world within a cannon shot from Fort Santiago as a precaution against future uprising and invasion.
