China plans to occupy a disputed chain of reefs and rocks in the South China Sea to expand its territory before regional rules on maritime behavior come into effect, the Philippines’ top diplomat said on Wednesday.
The Philippines believes China’s incursion into the Scarborough Shoal is a threat to peace in Southeast Asia, said Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario.
In Beijing, a foreign ministry spokesman described the shoal—which lies about 125 nautical miles off the Philippines’ main island of Luzon—as China’s “inherent territory”. …

Let them pay everything for us to move back to Subic and Clark.
Free entrance to boom-boom room, too.
I remember all the cheering when they kicked us out, sorry.

PI doesn’t have the money to explore for oil there ... best move would be to “partner” with the Chinese... maybe have refineries built in the Philippines to refine whats found...
“... best move would be to “partner” with the Chinese... “
I think the Chinese are a bunch of thugs. They have no “law” or intellectual property. Force is their law. That’s why it’s important to have somebody in the US presidency who looks and sounds like he’s looking for an excuse to kick *ss. That way everybody on the playground behaves. What we have now is a metrosexual and every bully on the playground knows they have a limited amount of time to make their moves and stake out their new territory before he’s replaced by somebody who can’t pronounce “nuclear.”
That’s why I suggested “partnering” with fixed assets on PI land...
Obunghole is busy with his AlQuaeda buddies and this Syrian kabuki theatre... everyone see’s the truth .
thats easy for you to say. thanks
This is nothing new. China is always puffing up in the south China sea. Several other countries claim territory in the Spratly islands group. They have a lot of oil (100+billion barrels) as well as other mineral resources.

Imagine that, one might not be safe living on the beach in the Philippines with the Chinese just 125 miles away. Wonder how Alex will like the Chinese approaching his beach hut? I doubt the Philippine government would save his hide, after all, he’s not a citizen, just an American runaway.
The whole world used to respect the morals and power of the United States. Now that we have such a wimpy, weak President I can see the whole world in motion to achieve their own wants. Little by little - just as Obama’s changing us.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Is it wrong to smirk?
Well.... THAT won’t end well...
Guess those “Mai Tais On The Beach” days might be coming to an end for a certain malcontent...
Sometimes things don’t work out the way you planned.
But he doesn’t even plan.
