Philippine movement towards China axis! Major shift. Duterte. Sovereignty.
This was a hot trending topic in quora (site now DOWN) but when it goes up, I will mirror-post here....
I had to Chime in on such a fascinating topic..
I had to Chime in on such a fascinating topic..
As somebody who is both Chinese and Filipino by blood, yet American by nationality, I have a uniquely pertinent interest in this issue. The move is obviously not favorable to certain parties, yet it is very favorable to others. This is a major shift away from neo-colonialism and a blowback long in breaking. It is a defeat of the neo-con agenda. What can they do to recover from this embarrassment and breach of their pact with Philippines?
The benefit is to the people of that nation. It is sovereignty and national integrity that is being boosted. It is time for healing they feel. There will also be those who do not agree. They are American benefactors, but not in the majority anymore.
It all makes logical sense, when ones considers the bigger picture of global politics. The NWO is being challenged by the BRICS. China and Russia are the main players who are moving against the American-based hegemony. They merely want to manage their sphere. After all, it is the international waters which surround their own waters and coastline. China and Philippines share this region and have much more in common because of this plain fact.
But why can’t everybody just get along? Philippines is going to lose some American money on this shift. Yet they start by gaining on the Chinese money. Look at the restrictions lifted against the fruit merchants, which can now sell goods from Philippines in China. The broader argument is that US money is Chinese money anyhow, because of the debt position; USA owes China a lot, not the other way around.
It probably has something to do with the Pacific trade agreement (The Trans-PacificPartnership - TPP). Conflict and wars are based upon economic schemes. The Philippines under Duterte is making key decisions that will develop its economy.
If I can make any predictions, I would say that China is strengthening and will use that wisely. But it will keep playing fair within the NWO. Russia right now is off-balance with all the NATO conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. So the comparison is more favorable for China. If the Philippines also increases ties with Russia, this will be evident that it sides with BRIC sphere of influence.
Diplomatically, the USA has to make a sweet deal for the Philippines to be able to stay friendly with both sides of the global system. I don’t know how they will go about this. But I hope they do. FDR is probably one of the best role models for this crucial challenge. A careful study of his politics on the international stage would behoove us. And as a personal note, when President Roosevelt fell fatally ill in Warm Springs, Georgia, he was carried by a Filipino staffer of the retreat facility. His name was Irineo “Filipino Joe” Esperancilla. Somebody with insight could make sense of this seeming coincidence.
The healing process for the Philippines nation does not begin with the World War 2 events however. It has to be traced all the way back to what happened when it gained its “independence” from Spain. That is through another Roosevelt, Theodore, the older cousin of FDR. What occurred during that conflict had sewn the seeds of the harvest that is taking place today. It is resentment which will have to be transformed into something better.
For all of Duterte’s insults (and sometimes consequent apologies), he is representing the people who are also looking for apologies from the USA. I don’t think it has to necessarily be in reparations, through the UN or whatever international legal means. It has to come through a clean slate. Starting fresh would be the best way to handle it. This transition into friendship with the Chinese is part of that process.
I could put in a few words about another factor in all this, which is the Catholic Church and its influence in this traditionally Catholic nation. Yet that would be too wide of a scope at the moment.
