Chairman Mao on the U.S. foreign policy: "In appearance it is very powerful but in reality it is nothing to be afraid of; it is a paper tiger. Outwardly a tiger, it is made of paper, unable to withstand the wind and the rain. I believe that is nothing but a paper tiger."

I really wonder if Beijing still reverberates with the Chairman's words. If paper tiger ang U.S., unsa kaha tah?

Why are we Filipinos so "head over heels" with the US/Americans thinking/believing that they are our savior? Almost every pinoy wants to go to the US and probably be US citizens or even be American wanna be's......? Why? I really wonder why... I think it's a "cancer"...

We dont need the Yank's base but only their weapons.


Look at what Vietnam is doing to protect their interest in the disputed area.

Of special note is the Molniya-class corvette which Vietnam has already received two from Russia and acquired the license to build locally an additional ten. Armed with SS-N-25 Switchblade anti-ship missiles, these 550-ton corvettes can blend in with coastal fishing vessels while packing a punch against adversaries further out at sea.

The move that has garnered the most attention, however, was the recent US$1.8 billion order of six diesel-powered Kilo-class submarines from Russia. These quiet underwater vessels offer Vietnam entirely new capabilities for patrolling the hotly contested South China Sea.

To provide air cover to its naval fleet and skies, Vietnam is in the process of acquiring Russian-made Su-30MK2 multi-role fighter aircraft. By the end of this year, Vietnam will have at least 20 of these advanced warplanes in addition to about a dozen relatively modern SU-27s and scores of leftover MiG aircraft that are older than most of their pilots.

Capable as naval strike fighters, Vietnamese Su-27s and Su-30MK2s will be able to reach the waters adjacent to the Spratly islands which are believed to be beyond the effective range of China's shore-based fighter planes.

Dili naman sab ta angay magool anang spratley kay atoa naman nang pinakadako nga land area diha ... kana sa china ug vietnam mo submerge mana ug mag taob labi nang gi ililogan diha ... ang Taiwan nag hilom lang na sila kay ilaha man ang the largest nga island ang Itu Aba .. but the philippines has the biggest in overall land area kanang wala nay dispute ....

I think for the meantime no need na flex military muscles ta diha ... wa na ma uso ang gubat karon ... ug manghilabot nang China tabangan nas United Nation ...

China is indeed totalitarian and oppressive...but for those of us who have carefully studied its society and history, something like "savage", would still not be the best word to describe it or the Chinese. ..
