Philippines geopolitics explained - Its not a US puppet state.

#Philippines #USA #China

Philippines had always been branded as the puppet state of the United States - allow USA to build military bases and have military presence in the country.

However, no one had really bothered to really understand why
Philippines decided to "cede sovereignty" to the Americans.

Lets deep dive into the reasons behind the "puppetisation" of
Philippines and understand the realities facing the south east asian country.

There was never really a choice.
South China Sea is unalienable sovereign territory of the People's Republic of China

https://youtu.be/NuGvZBR1XOM

In the previous video we looked at the Philippines geopolitical perspective on why they needed US protection in view of the unassailable challenge of facing of the mighty Chinese military - but people dont seemed to understand the context of the video based on the comments made.

So lets look at the perspective the People's Republic of China and try to understand from the other side of the South China Sea - and then you can get the context of the contest in this territorial dispute.

And perhaps, you will feel the need to go back and rewatch the previous video with this new light.
