Weird. There’s a lot of anti China stories circulating this week. Like maybe they are trying to influence public opinion.

They are a pain, but nowadays it's more subtle, and people have grown to accept America somehow. But China is just grating, showing blatant disregard to the autonomy of Philippines as a country. There are many good reasons for us to be distrustful of the CCP. They are claiming lands within our maritime borders and building structures that only benefit them and are a major security concern for us.
