Agreed but why hasnt Philippines started its reservist military training and just talking about their past bravery and that will protect their waters or expecting others to fight its war? The people will be at peril without training and preparation while we are approaching DEFCON 3, no wonder CN isn't deterred.
but not their gov. $ad for the people. All other ASEAN work on economy for people interest, but due to his family asset are with empireU$ , he work on geopolitics for politicians interest.
I don't think it's fair that the sea out of Philippines and Vietnam is controlled by a nation to the north. I think china is being a bully . In my humble opinion Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia should unite on the matter and present a united response
If those nations don't work together to keep from being deprived of their very legitimate rights to fish & areas to fish in, Then surely they will all be deprived seperately, by China.

Imagine if each country did not claim its territory on the basis of history, it would have to go back to the western law of the jungle to claim its territory, and that would be even worse.
China thinks the Philippines is just a small fish to fry. Little did they know, that the Philippines has been used to fry bigger fishes. While China has been cooked by smaller countries. How? Read the history of both country. E.G. the Sino-Vietnam war, Korean war (A small group of Filipinos against the huge numbers of Chinese army). The Philippines doesn't need and has been dodging war/s for decades since it already knows what's the price of war. But it is not in the history of the Philippines to give up even an inch of its territory too. So if the giant China thinks that the small Philippines is scared of them? I don't think so.
The Chinese spokesman says that "in the event of war" China would attack military bases in the Philippines. In reality, China had already invaded parts of the Philippines by stationing its coast guard ships inside the Philippine EEZ. Imagine if the Philippines did the same, stationed Philippine coast guard ships within 200 miles of China's coast and bombarded Chinese coast guard ships with water cannons? If the Philippines did that, it is not hard to imagine that China would easily take that as an act of war. But that is exactly what China has been doing in the West Philippine Sea for quite a while now. Chinese action in the West Philippine Sea was an act of war, although the Philippines was exercising forbearance in the face of such affront from China for the sake of peace in the Indo-Pacific region. However, Chinese abuse of international norms cannot go on indefinitely without eroding the validity of the rules-based international order. Allowing China to continue disrespecting international law will result in the destabilization of regional peace in the Indo-Pacific, which could spread elsewhere in the world where a rogue state like China could be incentivized by a perceived lack of resolve from the international community to uphold the law in the face of challenges posed by violators like China. And going back to the prospect of an actual kinetic war, China will lose substantially more in economic and geopolitical costs, to say the least, in such a scenario. It will be perceived by the free world as an attack on global law and order. The response of the world will be decisive. So, it would be better for China and regional stability that the CCP maintain cordial relationships with its neighbors, and distance itself from controversies like its Nine-Dash Line claim that never attained credibility in the global community. China had better public relations with the world when it was focused on trade rather than when it began to attempt to expand its territory beyond the long-established international borders.
It is called 'disputed area' or 'overlapping territorial claims'. 😁what an ignorant. Crying like China claimed all the Philippines EZZ. 😆🤣😂Aggressiveness came from the Philippines vessels move towards Huangyan Island (Scarborough Shoal) or Ren'ai Jiao (Second Thomas Shoal), the dispute area. (1) Huangyan Island (Scarborough Shoal) is not part of Philippines and confirmed with Political Map of the Philippines 2008 to 2011 (NAMRIA Philippines). (2) The Hague tribunal ruling does not award Huangyan Island (Scarborough Shoal) to the Philippines and confirmed with Permanent Court Of Arbitration - The Hague, 12 July 2016, Press Release.
The era of soft power is over, the West aided its rise and China being back into a corner is challenging the status quo. Xi publicly announced on several occasion " 准备打胜战 " noting the imminent conflicts brewing, is Xi bluffing or are the West & alliances ready, can we hold countries to international laws and order without the will or power to enforce them? or when CN covertly believes only " might is right ". Then ascertain whether CCP is governing with the principles of " Rule of Law " or as a criminal regime. If the era of peace is behind us will we now take action or talk some more? Every delay has its consequences even if we naively or ignorantly think we are not already involved in the intricacies of a cold war spelling hot.

In my experience Filipino people are very friendly and are welcoming of people no matter where they are from. This situation is just crazy they are literally one of the friendliest countries on earth.
The Philippines, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan must form an Asian NATO. Others can join if they want to, but the core must be the Philippines, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. The Philippine military's experience in war goes back to the 1890s from the war of independence to World War 2, to fighting the communist insurgency, then crushing ISIS, up to the present time. The Phillippines' military experience is uninterrupted for over 100 years. Japan is a sleeping military powerhouse. A Philippine-Japan military alliance alone can sow fear into the heart of the CCP. However, since Taiwan and South Korea are democracies, these countries must be protected too. If these countries want to check the expansionist communists, any of these countries must initiate the formation of this alliance immediately. We can call it - APMA - the Asia Pacific Military Alliance.
What are you talking about, Philippine at the present 2024 cant even fight itself out of a wet paper bag. Their enemies have already invaded their territorial waters, should there be a war they will find themselves in peril without military training or preparations as early as Duterte times with UNCLOS ruling , what have they done so far - nothing but excuses PH is poor etc but they have men and not train them. Are they expecting others to fight for their waters, while they continue talking and repeating the narratives, very silly PH.

Today, the Philippine looks like an "outcast" in Asean. Its mouthpiece on foreign policy is a mouthpiece of its old grand master (the USA). No country in Asean has foreign military basses except the Philippines. When a country has foreign military bases, like the Philippines has, it has already given up its sovereignty rights to function as a sovereign country. Still living in the 50's ,60's, 70's mindset. It believes so strongly in colonialism and neocolonialism. And expect other Asean countries to follow blindly its colonialism and neocolonialism step path.

U$ have NO obligation to defend the dispute maritime areas. Document 578 of American Foreign Policy Basic Documents 1977-1980 is a 1979 letter to then-Philippine Minister of Foreign Affairs Carlos Romulo, in which Vance further clarified the U.S. legal interpretation of the MDT. He declared that armed attack under the MDT refers to external armed aggression against any part of Philippine metropolitan territory as defined by the 1898 Treaty of Paris between Spain and the U.S. and the 1900 Treaty of Washington between Great Britain and the U.S. (amended in 1930), as well as island territories in the Pacific that are under Philippine jurisdiction. Moreover, “armed attack on any Philippine armed forces, public vessels or aircraft in the Pacific would not have to occur within the Philippine metropolitan territory or island territory under its jurisdiction in the Pacific in order to come within the definition of Pacific Area in Article V.” Thus, armed attack on said forces or vessels taking place in undisputed maritime areas in the South China Sea would fall within the scope of the MDT.

this is Chinese aggression. This is not just against the Philippines: They did the same against Viet Nam, and are ow bullying Malaysia.

Where is the neighbouring countries when China claimed the Nansha (Spratly) Islands and the Xisha (Paracel) Islands? _"__0:13__ During the period of colonialism countries were not yet born. So when they were born, they thought it very unfair that almost all the South China Sea should have been claimed by China. So I think this is at the heart of it.

Imagine if each country did not claim its territory on the basis of history, it would have to go back to the western law of the jungle to claim its territory, and that would be even worse.
China thinks the Philippines is just a small fish to fry. Little did they know, that the Philippines has been used to fry bigger fishes. While China has been cooked by smaller countries. How? Read the history of both country. E.G. the Sino-Vietnam war, Korean war (A small group of Filipinos against the huge numbers of Chinese army). The Philippines doesn't need and has been dodging war/s for decades since it already knows what's the price of war. But it is not in the history of the Philippines to give up even an inch of its territory too. So if the giant China thinks that the small Philippines is scared of them? I don't think so.

@@klokangeorge4005 Have you been to the Philippines for you to say that?
The Chinese spokesman says that "in the event of war" China would attack military bases in the Philippines. In reality, China had already invaded parts of the Philippines by stationing its coast guard ships inside the Philippine EEZ. Imagine if the Philippines did the same, stationed Philippine coast guard ships within 200 miles of China's coast and bombarded Chinese coast guard ships with water cannons? If the Philippines did that, it is not hard to imagine that China would easily take that as an act of war. But that is exactly what China has been doing in the West Philippine Sea for quite a while now. Chinese action in the West Philippine Sea was an act of war, although the Philippines was exercising forbearance in the face of such affront from China for the sake of peace in the Indo-Pacific region. However, Chinese abuse of international norms cannot go on indefinitely without eroding the validity of the rules-based international order. Allowing China to continue disrespecting international law will result in the destabilization of regional peace in the Indo-Pacific, which could spread elsewhere in the world where a rogue state like China could be incentivized by a perceived lack of resolve from the international community to uphold the law in the face of challenges posed by violators like China. And going back to the prospect of an actual kinetic war, China will lose substantially more in economic and geopolitical costs, to say the least, in such a scenario. It will be perceived by the free world as an attack on global law and order. The response of the world will be decisive. So, it would be better for China and regional stability that the CCP maintain cordial relationships with its neighbors, and distance itself from controversies like its Nine-Dash Line claim that never attained credibility in the global community. China had better public relations with the world when it was focused on trade rather than when it began to attempt to expand its territory beyond the long-established international borders.
well said
It is called 'disputed area' or 'overlapping territorial claims'. 😁what an ignorant. Crying like China claimed all the Philippines EZZ. 😆🤣😂Aggressiveness came from the Philippines vessels move towards Huangyan Island (Scarborough Shoal) or Ren'ai Jiao (Second Thomas Shoal), the dispute area. (1) Huangyan Island (Scarborough Shoal) is not part of Philippines and confirmed with Political Map of the Philippines 2008 to 2011 (NAMRIA Philippines). (2) The Hague tribunal ruling does not award Huangyan Island (Scarborough Shoal) to the Philippines and confirmed with Permanent Court Of Arbitration - The Hague, 12 July 2016, Press Release.
The era of soft power is over, the West aided its rise and China being back into a corner is challenging the status quo. Xi publicly announced on several occasion " 准备打胜战 " noting the imminent conflicts brewing, is Xi bluffing or are the West & alliances ready, can we hold countries to international laws and order without the will or power to enforce them? or when CN covertly believes only " might is right ". Then ascertain whether CCP is governing with the principles of " Rule of Law " or as a criminal regime. If the era of peace is behind us will we now take action or talk some more? Every delay has its consequences even if we naively or ignorantly think we are not already involved in the intricacies of a cold war spelling hot.

In my experience Filipino people are very friendly and are welcoming of people no matter where they are from. This situation is just crazy they are literally one of the friendliest countries on earth.
I believe that that people who are the friendliest are also the most dangerous as enemies.
And stupidest
The Philippines, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan must form an Asian NATO. Others can join if they want to, but the core must be the Philippines, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. The Philippine military's experience in war goes back to the 1890s from the war of independence to World War 2, to fighting the communist insurgency, then crushing ISIS, up to the present time. The Phillippines' military experience is uninterrupted for over 100 years. Japan is a sleeping military powerhouse. A Philippine-Japan military alliance alone can sow fear into the heart of the CCP. However, since Taiwan and South Korea are democracies, these countries must be protected too. If these countries want to check the expansionist communists, any of these countries must initiate the formation of this alliance immediately. We can call it - APMA - the Asia Pacific Military Alliance.
What are you talking about, Philippine at the present 2024 cant even fight itself out of a wet paper bag. Their enemies have already invaded their territorial waters, should there be a war they will find themselves in peril without military training or preparations as early as Duterte times with UNCLOS ruling , what have they done so far - nothing but excuses PH is poor etc but they have men and not train them. Are they expecting others to fight for their waters, while they continue talking and repeating the narratives, very silly PH.

Document 578 of American Foreign Policy Basic Documents 1977-1980 is a 1979 letter to then-Philippine Minister of Foreign Affairs Carlos Romulo, in which Vance further clarified the U.S. legal interpretation of the MDT. He declared that armed attack under the MDT refers to external armed aggression against any part of Philippine metropolitan territory as defined by the 1898 Treaty of Paris between Spain and the U.S. and the 1900 Treaty of Washington between Great Britain and the U.S. (amended in 1930), as well as island territories in the Pacific that are under Philippine jurisdiction. Moreover, “armed attack on any Philippine armed forces, public vessels or aircraft in the Pacific would not have to occur within the Philippine metropolitan territory or island territory under its jurisdiction in the Pacific in order to come within the definition of Pacific Area in Article V.” Thus, armed attack on said forces or vessels taking place in undisputed maritime areas in the South China Sea would fall within the scope of the MDT.

China and Japan sign the Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty, formally ending the state of war between the two countries in 1952. The eleven-dash line is reduced to a nine-dash line on Chinese maps in 1952.
Thanks for posting
This is our territory we own it by all right. Justified. Filipinos will fight till the end even by Blood. We support the AFP and our Allies.
The west , stirring s***t as usual.
One thing that will help is if the rest of the world will stop calling it the South China Sea unless it is part of their economic zone. All we are doing is helping out the Chinese by calling it that.
Indonesia should get closer to America and visa versa😮 there's many scattered islands that's easy Pickens for an over aggressive land grab
As democracy and rules based international law decline, conflicts like those in the SCS, Georgia and Ukraine will only increase. With the rise of MAGA in the USA, you should not expect things to get better.
I sincerely hope not. The US has been fucking up Indonesia since 1958, gave us a dictator for 32 years that ensured that natural resources could be exploited cheaply with little redistribution, and has been leading the entire world into endless wars.
India should return the Andaman and Nicobar Islands to Indonesia, as they were captured illegally.
@@Superpooper-2020 AUS did more to Indonesia, and still continue on the next island
DW documentaries regarding geopolitics are the best❤.
This is a huge issue among Filipinos that Filipino Americans are thinking of this issue when they vote in November
It is peaceful there, until winnie the pooh distrub the beehive taking those Honey.
We all knew these years of peace in ASIA and EU is because that empire busy in Middle East for 20years.
"If you are not on the table you are on the menu." Poor Philippines used by Evil American Politicians as their client agent to against China, hope they are smarter than Ukrainian
This is not winnie the pooh story. 😆 The Philippines failed to claim Sabah state of Malaysia and today, the Philippines try it again in the South China Sea but called it 'West Philippine Sea'. 🤣 what a sinophobia 😂
@@LivingLonger😂 200EEZ. Beyond that its all yours baby. Winnie the pooh enjoying the sweetest honey in that area.
@@Master-TinTin It is called 'disputed area' or 'overlapping territorial claims'. what an ignorant sinophobia. crying like China claimed all the Philippines EZZ. 😆

0:50 seconds in "China has not threatened to use force" - explain that to the 4 injured Philippine Marines and another having his finger amputated due to your barbarian axe wielding maritime militia. Truly, the PRC's ability to lie through its teeth is unparalleled.
I'm in Philippines I hope the government wise up and prevent conflict, been enjoying a peaceful life since birth.
The love🫰🦋❤️ of my life, lives in the Philippines ❤️🦋❤️🫠😘🥹😘🥰😍.I miss you baby 😮😢❤
China claiming South China Sea is like Mexico saying gulf of Mexico is theirs. Like it is so absurd 😅...
2:28 Shameless Chinese. So If I say that the my neighbour's house is mine, then I move in the next day. They can't dispute that because in my own imaginary world, I owned the house in the first place?
you are mistaken, it is the Philippines says China's house is theirs.
China has claimed those islands back in 1946 with help from U.S., nobody including the Philippines objected, now, after possibility the area contains oil and gas, the Philippines came over holding hands with their American daddy and say, daddy 'i want that island'. 😂😂😂
I used this logic with my pro-china professor back in college.
I asked: Would you agree if I suddenly said that I own some parts of your house simply because my ancestors walked around there where your house was years ago?
2:21 China considers... So it is in its territory.
So can any country just consider something that isn't true and the rest of the world will accept it? 😂
Just because China considers the South China Sea as their territory, doesn't mean that it's theirs, but according to him, anything China considers to be true, must be the case! Even though the rest of the world doesn't recognize that as the case at all, it's just something China made up all of the sudden when they realized it would give them a geopolitical strategic edge against the United States, so they claim international waters as their own, using historical sovereign rights that nobody takes seriously, because that isn't recognized law anywhere outside of China. 😂
Using freaking Russian logic that Russia used for Ukraine, 1800s logic for modern day application... It doesn't work like that. The United States should move in with other nations' navies and sail the South China Sea as international waters in solidarity of the Philippines and Vietnam and Malaysia and Brunei because those countries are next on the chopping block for China.
Where is the neighbouring countries when China claimed the Nansha (Spratly) Islands and the Xisha (Paracel) Islands? _"__0:13__ During the period of colonialism countries were not yet born. So when they were born, they thought it very unfair that almost all the South China Sea should have been claimed by China. So I think this is at the heart of it. Much of what the Philippines is now doing is the result of domestic politics. __0:30__ President Duterte reached some kind of an understanding with China, including the beached LST on Ren'ai Jiao (Second Thomas Shoal), __0:40__ but under _*_President Maros they felt that that was unfair_*_ and they want to repair that ship which is breaking down and that's approximate cause of the current tension. "_ *- Former Singaporean foreign minister George Yeo highlights the Philippines' role in igniting current tensions by attempting to repair a stranded ship.*

If you think this is funny😅
There is a state that built a narrative and claimed the land of Palestine because their “ancestors” used to live there 2000 years ago and the USA is supporting them.

*"During the period of colonialism countries were not yet born"*
"The period of colonialism lasted from the 15th century to the mid-20th century"
Source: Google
So talking about a time in which international waters were not a cooperative agreed upon thing yet legally... Still using an outdated representation of a situation that has now been solved through international recognition of current maritime rule.
Times change and so have the laws and rules that countries must abide by rather than focus on what happened hundred of years ago that are irrelevant by today's standards, because there are now guidelines to recognize that didn't exist prior.
@@HTV-2_Hypersonic_Glide_Vehicle Did US ratify and signed UNCLOS Annex VIII, Article 298? NO. Article 298 of the International law explicitly said _"a state may declared in writing that it does not accept any one or more other ways the law proposes to settle territorial disputes". this might sound controversial but in reality nearly 40 countries did that. Australia, Argentina, Canada, Denmark the list goes on to speak nothing of the U.S. who did not ratify the law in first place so in say no to compulsory arbitration on sovereignty China has plenty of company in the Western world._
i, m avid viewer DW , yes Philippines heart of global conflicts coz geographical area and full of rich natural resources so Philippines a center of flash point even conflicts of Taiwan and China even Korean war and all of that the allied and treaty especially the United States of America. God Bless Philippines and ASEAN
Pinays love American men. As a matter of fact, we actually love the Philippine nation. Very respectful and funny people.
It's NOT the South China Sea. It's the West Phillipine Sea.
I agree with that.
Duterte legacy. Gentlemen's agreement. Confidential funds. What a shame for a Filipino.
Pogo hub. Thousands of Chinese entered Philippines without documents. Duterte legacy
If her daughter wins the Presidency next election, it will be the end of our beloved country 😢
And the stupidity of you to believe it 😂
Duterty legacy province of china
@@Hex590yeah ..sad
I don't feel Filipinos are deprived of our free speech, as a matter of fact, we are the freest in the world as proven by how Filipinos express ourselves on social media. We say anything and everything we want to the extent that sometimes it already borders on bashing and fake news.
Tell that to journalists who got killed for calling out the bullshit of politicians and big corporations in the Philippines.....
Just because YOU feel it does not mean it is actually true. Look at the situation of governmen critics who are continuously harassed and Red-tagged by the government AND ignorant citizens, when it is a DUTY as a citizen to critique the government. Your ignorance as a citizen is abhorrent, I suggest researching more thoroughly and be CRITICALLY minded.
@DW Documentary, thank you very much for bringing this out internationally...SO THE WORLD MUST KNOW.❤
very well done - and nice production values also
OFW / all Filipinos are willing to defend what's ours with the support of Global Military Allies
@govmanuelmamba So you are against EDCA because you oppose foreign forces in the Philippines. You say you are pro Philippines and pro Cagayan. Can you please explain to the Filipino people what you are doing to repel China from the WPS who is blockading us from exploiting our own resources?
Just like a snake Mamba, it suites his name. He is a snake paid by China. We going to vote him out.
Hahaha syempre mawawala pera niya na galing china, hindi niya yan gagawin.
Hah! China has been considering so many places theirs for so long.....what's new? But just because they consider it theirs, doesn't make it theirs. China, how about this? I consider Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen mine. Especially Shanghai because my ancestors were born there, raised there, and some of them even died there. My land. Not even belonging to a country, but mine. My family's land. How? Are you going to vacate the whole city and return it to my family? Ridiculous.
Stay in your lane. So many of your dashes are so much nearer to the other countries it's beyond ridiculous to claim that area yours. Go back and develop your rural areas and make the lives of those residents there better first.

it is better to give the philippines land in partition, from north to south to allied countries. im a filipino, and the couuntry belongs only to few politicians which we make them rich...
WHO CARES ABOUT YOUR DMB OPINION. YOU ARE NOT A FILPINO IF YOU ARE EVEN THINKING ABOUT GIVING AWAY PH TERRITORIES TO OTHERS. HOW STPD.
How dare you want to give away American territory, I mean Philippine territory, to China!
Wow. 😂
haha u clown

@@ustcarter Absolutely agree 💯
If Philippines go to war with China, the whole country will be suffer.
If Philippines ignore China, the fishers community will continue to suffer too.
Really hard to solve situation.
we want peace
Philippines is dreaming of their past bravery while ignoring the present situation, will they sleep walk into a war w/o any preparations and training. PH has men but will not train them, are they only using talk and becoming lawyers . Looking at PH spirit it will be hard to find alliance if u know what i mean.
@@ThGaming69 The Philippines is going to be supported by the USA if they decided to attack. I don’t think Philippines will start the war. china will start it. chinese cannot afford to go to war, they don’t have the technology and resources, period!
@@Gw2kitty yeah this is why I hate this over proud failipinnos china in the past is much more different than china today
@@Gw2kitty is not like the Philippines will fight China alone. China geographic location was doomed to be surrounded by countries. Their only hopes to expand is on South China Sea.
And Philippines are not like Ukraine, our geographic location was very good too. We have Mutual Defense Treaty with USA since 1950's.
Nice documentary... Make also in china's shadow Vietnam👍👍
Very good doc, informative and interesting.
why talk about soverignity , the moment you allowed foreign troops on your soil.. you already NOT a soverign country anymore. DANG !!
PH. A former colony of US until CCP infiltrated and instill the Maoist ideology to the whole region.
So China aint sovereign when they have drills with Russia by that logic then 😂
1:29 and it is known as the Eastern Sea by Viet Nam, not South China Sea…
West Philippines Sea = Philippines EEZ, is part by SCS, which the documentary is saying.
