It's an unusual case. Had China been more accomodating of the Philippines things would've been different. But then that could be said about practically all the neighbouring countries of China vis a vis China.Pinoy is not a bully but a very courageous dog belonging to an indifferent master, same as Ukraine.
When the war comes Philippines will be pulverized but given its proximity to Taiwan , the US intends to use it as a staging ground to prevent the successful invasion of Taiwan as well as to target China from it . It's not as if China's going to escape what's coming to it .
Looks more a case of - hum toh doobe sanam .......
If you ask me , Chinese foreign policy & strategies in spite of their 3 millennia of hegemony in East Asia & all those strategic treatises & masters who've written it that they've produced is dog sh!t . The key to winning wars of this nature have always been allies . That's one of the key reasons among others, the Allies won WW-2 .
