Communist guerrillas in the Philippines have trained their sights on Chinese state-owned firms building infrastructure and military bases in the country, projects that have the backing of President Rodrigo Duterte.
The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) has ordered its military wing, the New People’s Army, to target firms involved in the construction of seven Chinese military bases in the West Philippines Sea (the eastern parts of the South China Sea that are part of the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone).
The CPP claims the projects violate Philippine sovereignty and destroy marine resources within its exclusive economic zone, according to a statement.
While no names were mentioned, these Chinese firms are understood to be state-owned dredging, shipbuilding, and infrastructure companies, blacklisted by the United States for constructing over 3,000 acres of artificial islands for China’s military deployment in the South China Sea.
The CPP blamed Duterte for also awarding these firms “big-ticket infrastructure projects” for the construction of mining roads and dams that encroached ancestral lands of minorities and forests.
“These infrastructure projects not only displace thousands of peasants and minorities from their lands, they also wreak havoc to the natural ecosystem of the country’s remaining,” the CPP said.
The CPP severed ties with the Chinese Communist Party in the 1980s and is Asia’s longest-running rebel group operating throughout the Philippines.
President Duterte declared the communist rebel terrorists in July, saying the country’s new Anti-Terrorism Act 2020 would tackle the group, especially those involved in bombing attacks on the public.
“’If you do that to the people, if you kill them wantonly, then I will take it as a right to kill you,” he said in a public address in July.

What is one to do when different communist groups can’t get along?
Same thing they do everytime they clash, try and kill each other.
The enemy of your enemy is your friend in the short term.
China is just expanding it’s nation out into everyone
else’s space.
At some point, the governments in the region are going to demand
it stop.
Point and laugh ?
commie vs. commie!
Trotskyites vs Stalinists
Which is which?
Downright Bidenesque
Are these what used to be called the Huks?
Popcorn and cold beer!

Great work if you can get it. 1.Hire commies to build stuff. 2.Commies discretely pay/fund other commies a piece of the action to destroy stuff. 3.Commies get paid again to rebuild. 4.Repeat as many times as they can get away with. 5.Philippines are bled out. 6.China repos.
