according to China's constitution amended after Chinese revolution in 1930s, Taiwan is a province of mainland China, were there is no context on Taiwan's constitution that China is apart of Taiwan, Taiwan is not recognized as country, Since People's Republic of China's establishment in 1949, the PRC has also claimed Taiwan as a province

[@totzinfo]

Non-Communist nations referred to the CCP-controlled mainland as "Red China" during this time. In 1971, the UN General Assembly voted to move the "China" United Nations seat from the ROC to the PRC. In 1971, the UN expelled the ROC and transferred China's seat to the People's Republic of China (PRC). In addition to the ad tempus recognition of the ROC by a majority of countries before UN Resolution 2758, the ROC lost its membership in all intergovernmental organisations related to the UN. therefore Taiwan is not a country but a province of mainland China

Subic naval base is very strategic because it is surrounded with thick forest and inside forest there were many missile silos. When the American left in in 1991, these missile silos were protected by the government. You can't see from above the operator of the missile silos because their barracks looks like small hill and covered with grass and small trees hidden in thick forest overlooking the whole subic bay.

Short of a direct military pushback against China, maybe the think tanks and military planners in the Philippines, the U.S., and like-minded allies have already explored the following options already, who knows: My apologies if the following options are rather lengthy.

RISK LEVEL 3: (1) Increase the Philippine’s defense budget. NOTE: The Philippine defense budget is expected to be around 1.19% of the country’s GDP in 2024; it should be increased drastically (*the PH is facing an existential threat as China gobbles up more PH territory, thereby threatening PH sovereignty … now, they are doing the same with our Sabina Shoal; note that Vietnam’s defense budget is expected to be around 2.97% of the country’s GDP in 2024); (2) Acquire F-16 /JAS-39 multirole fighter bombers & munitions; (3) Acquire submarines & more guided-missile frigates, corvettes, and missile boats; (4) Increase the number of larger steel-hulled Coast Guard cutters (larger than MRRV’s); (5) Acquire more assets for long range fires (GMLRS, 155mm artillery, etc.); (6) Acquire more assets for naval engagements (Harpoon, C-Star, NLOS missiles, etc.); (7) Acquire more items for asymmetric warfare (Javelin, Stinger, drones, mines, standoff weapons, etc.); (8) Increase number of US military and allied advisers in the PH; (9) Set up on PH territory U.S. warfighting logistics to be activated if Article 3 of the MDT is invoked; .

RISK LEVEL 6: (1) Permanently station a USAF tactical fighter / bomber wing in the PH; (2) Permanently station a USN carrier battle group in the PH; (3) Permanently station USN nuclear attack / ballistic submarines in the PH; (4) Permanently station a USN amphibious ready group with an MEU (Marine Expeditionary Unit) in the PH; (5) Permanently station US Army / US Marine battalions in the PH; (6) Invite Taiwanese troops as observers for Balikatan, Salaknib, and other exercises; (7) Similar to NATO, establish an IndoPac Defense Initiative comprising all like-minded countries; .

Taiwan was also a cousin of the Philippines. Formerly Formosa or Isla de Hermosa, was an enclave of the Spanish Crown in the 17th century before the Dutch won in the Eighty Years War. Thru scientific genetics and genealogy, our race originated from or thru the Taiwan islands. We share common beliefs of democracy. The Philippines will aid Taiwan should China executes her ambitions of regaining her "renegade" province. That is why the EDCA was expanded up to our northernmost tip of Basco Islands to develop it as a forward operating base (FOB) with the joint US-Philippines forces.

I wonder if the idea of re establishing US bases in Philippine soil as a way of bolstering its security not just to the western territorial waters, but to the entire country has been considered by any government following the Cory government. I am not an expert on defense security, but the reason why Japan, Korea, and Taiwan have been able to keep their peace with regard to China's growing geopolitical, and military power is the fact that the U.S. maintain bases in these countries. Let us remember that any US facility is an extension of its territory. I believe the Philippines made a blunder in closing down its doors to US bases back in late the late 80's. Imagine if this idea would come to fruition, it will once again maintain a balance of power in Asia extending from the western part of the Pacific all the way to the Eastern Part.

Subic bay is the most strategical and it is the first defense when you get in manila bay.taiwan and Philippines throw beside their self interest and unite agints china. We believe when china attacks taiwan we automatically join the war because of the us bases here but i wonder if china attack the philippines do you think taiwan will do the same??we know we have issues also in claim in west Philippines.we believe malaysia,indonesia taiwan , vietnam enjoy the blessing of south china sea

[@maaa.a.8003]

Will Subic become another US Base again?

[@lyssamalloy5162]

Wag naman kasi hahaba na naman ang byahe papuntang Iba Zambales maganda na mapapasok tayo sa loob ng Subic

Hopefully Taiwan can again provides Taiwan all decommissioned F5’s to the Philippines in its new EDCA site in Lalo Airport near Taiwan.

If only china respects UNCLOS. There will be peace in the SCS. If only china respects the country of taiwan. There will be peace in the world.

The United States sent 2 million soldiers when Japan took over the Philippines in 1942. Let me remind China when it tries to go beyond that point of no return that China never won a war beyond it's boarders since it's conception 5000 years ago.

Implement Mutual Defense Treaty. During Korean War 900 Filipino soldiers fought 40,000+ communist soldiers. That’s 40:1 General McArthur later said give me 100,000 Filipino soldiers and I will conquer the world 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Philippine Airforce should be called Philipine Groundforce since they only have footpilots. They don't have misile crew, Drone crew, radar crew, No production crew of weapons and equipments and support crew.

As for China to say that problems in Asia must be resolved by quote, ASIANS, just ain't gonna happen!, because if the United States had of let the problems of Asia to be solved by Asians in WW2 , China would not even exist today, and not only the United States will give military assistance to The Philippines and even Taiwan in case of a military confrontation from China upon the Philippines or Taiwan, millions of military aid people plus multiple democratic nations combined will respond with the most powerfulest navy known to Man.

The problems are china want to imposes total control to overpowered all in Indo Pacific to Control SCS to building Military base in Spratlys or over reacting with Aggressions in Freedoms of Navigation esc for International trades routes,and Aggression with it's 15 Neighbors Independent Nations,china struggling to it's Ambition to do as Dominate and leader for Commercial Partnership Cooperations

US gives full support to the Philippines if the latter is invaded and attacked by an enemy country/ies. And the Philippines will fight side by side with US and allies come hell and high water. We are loyal to US and democratic allies.

[@Myopinion-zd3fm]

Just forget ever being under control of the south China Sea and Filipino sovereign territory without a full scale war with about 6 powerful Nations including a attack on Taiwan.

Subic Bay is important to the US too. It was the largest Naval Base outside the US.

subic is advantageous for US use in the taiwan semiconductor defense and not for some philippine fishing grounds. it's all about the semiconductors until PRC will catch up in production and taiwan will be asking to reunite and then argue with the philippines for stealing pag -asa island from them.
