U.S. Typhon Missile Launcher Arrives in the Philippines | Taiwan Talks EP362

The U.S.-made Typhon missile launcher is a weapon not before seen in the Indo-Pacific, and the U.S. Army is calling its arrival in the Philippines a landmark in regional capacity. Analysts say its presence sends a signal the U.S. can put offensive weaponry well within striking distance of Chinese installations in the South China Sea, China proper and along the Taiwan Strait. Beijing says it increases “misjudgment and miscalculation” and that Washington is seeking a “unilateral advantage.”

Balikatan to me means unity and friendship to other countries against powerful bullies who doesn't give a respect to our international laws!

[@riseup6402]

What's the difference what china is doing? They build military bases in the islands that belong to the Philippines. They also have installed missiles and runways. They illegally occupied those islands that are legally belong to the Philippines. So we also have the right to put up defenses facing enemy who are threatening our way of life and our teritory.

[@jenuelarceo6030]

As a Filipino, I am very sure that when taiwan gets attacked, there is a very high chance that philippines will aid taiwan. But of course allies will not overtly say that just to maintain the strategical ambiguity. It is also in the interest of the Philippines to aid taiwan and to maintain its independence and sovereignity. Since taiwan has good relations with The Philippines, majority of filipinos can be persuaded to help them in conflict.

[@maplered5351]

When you aid Taiwan, the conflict is like declaring war on China. How do you expect China to respond?

[@superduper3130]

In that crucial time you should be prepared for the worst possible case, look what happened to the Ukraine

[@jenuelarceo6030]

@@superduper3130 Ukraine's situation is very different. If another country tries to invade our country, Filipinos will not fight alone in this war, Combined military forces of countries such as Japan, Australia, South Korea and United States of America will make the invasion close to impossible. That is why military cooperation in the countries at the pacific is essential for war deterrence. Mutual defense treaty will be also be activated if military vessels, ordnances, personnels and civilians are harmed in any way. Which means combined ground, air and sea from our allies will come here not just ordnance support. Ukraine on the other hand has no mutual defense treaty and is not a member of NATO that is why Russia doesn't think twice in attacking Ukraine. By the way, though China is vastly superior in technologies and in numbers, Philippines have a lot of battle hardened troopers, professionally trained in different warfare scenarios. This country is always in a constant strife due to imperialism, colonialism, extremism and ideologies that often result in battles. So China has to have think twice if they want to take that risk.

[@jenuelarceo6030]

​@@maplered5351To invade Taiwan and to dominate the pacific, China has to get rid of the US bases in the Philippines so if Taiwan gets attacked, Philippines will be attacked also. Chinese government knows that it will take a lot of resources to do that. It will cause them a pyrrhic victory even if they successfully invaded Taiwan. China interests must be to make Philippines neutral in Taiwan issue so that it will limit the options for the Allies in aiding Taiwan but since the Chinese government's illegal and forced incursion in the South China sea, their belligerent actions gathers a strong ire in the Philippines, so our government agreed to strike a deal with US in their own terms to let US create military bases here. So if I were the Chinese government, they should be more diplomatic with a touch of cordiality and appeasement in dealing with the Philippines because the more they display their belligerence, the more it will be difficult to the Chinese government to incorporate Taiwan into their territory.

Historically, Philippine forces employ unconventional strategies, e.g. Korean War, more recently Golan Heights. This was developed because Filipinos are usually at a disadvantage in terms of force and weaponry, from fighting with Spain, America, Japan and local insurgencies, "improvising" is an unspoken rule and its successes show results. They may be wiped out, but they'll take 100 enemies with each man lost. Also check out the Battle of Yultong , Hill Erie, Corregidor, and the Battle of La Naval, etc.

[@c0smicbyte]

China committed a grave miscalculation and misjudgment when it violated the rules-based global order by illegally and unilaterally asserting its Nine-Dash Line claim in the South China Sea. China is reaping the consequences of its rogue posture in the international waters of the South China Sea and the neighboring exclusive economic zone of nations in the region. China is behaving in primitive medieval geopolitics in a world that has already evolved to a higher level of international cooperation and understanding. China has resorted to bad-faith diplomacy and gaslighting, while its armed forces attempted to establish control of a huge area of neutral territory in the South China Sea. China needs to gain back the respect of the international community. It needs to submit to the ruling of the International Court of Arbitration in the Hague and abide by international law such as UNCLOS.

[@madartzgraphics2019]

The main reason why they imposed the 10 dash line is because of the Malacca Straight, they wanted to secure the region. They wanted to close the gap between that area coz without that, they will be the next Japan to get cut off from world trade. If only Indonesia and the rest of the region have the balls. IT IS THE WEAKEST LINK OF CHINA.

THE FATHER OF ALL MAPS OF THE PHILIPPINES - The Murillo Velarde Map 1734 This magnificent map of the Philippine archipelago, drawn by the Jesuit Father Pedro Murillo Velarde (1696--1753) and published in Manila in 1734, is the first and most important scientific map of the Philippines. The Philippines were at that time a vital part of the Spanish Empire, and the map shows the maritime routes from Manila to Spain and to New Spain (Mexico and other Spanish territory in the New World), with captions. In the upper margin stands a great cartouche with the title of the map, crowned by the Spanish royal coat of arms flanked each side by an angel with a trumpet, from which an inscription unfurls. The map is not only of great interest from the geographic point of view, but also as an ethnographic document. It is flanked by twelve engravings, six on each side, eight of which depict different ethnic groups living in the archipelago and four of which are cartographic descriptions of particular cities or islands. According to the labels, the engravings on the left show: Sangleyes (Chinese Philippinos) or Chinese; Kaffirs (a derogatory term for non-Muslims), a Camarin (from the Manila area), and a Lascar (from the Indian subcontinent, a British Raj term); mestizos, a Mardica (of Portuguese extraction), and a Japanese; and two local maps--one of Samboagan (a city on Mindanao), and the other of the port of Cavite. On the right side are: various people in typical dress; three men seated, an Armenian, a Mughal, and a Malabar (from an Indian textile city); an urban scene with various peoples; a rural scene with representations of domestic and wild animals; a map of the island of Guajan (meaning Guam); and a map of Manila
