  2. lol malaysia and singapore aren't the only places with chinese minorities. both philippines and indonesia also have chinese filipinos and chinese indonesians

  3. the manila-acapulco galleon trade actually primarily existed because it was the spanish transition point with trade with china to go to the philippines, then to mexico, then spain. so the realistic answer to a future new manila-acapulco trade is basically a china belt and road initiative silk road again, but with its direction towards china's east, rather than just to the west. philippines has always been called the gateway to asia... from the east

  4.  @heri9949  tagalogs? lol the real movers of philippine politics are the mestizo political families who just so happens to speak philippine english and filipino/tagalog

  11.  @shadowwarrior2030  lol duterte is also a mestizo. he keeps repeating it like hes proud of himself lol. it just so happens he looks more native and also speaks davaoeño cebuano bisaya, besides philippine english, and filipino/tagalog. it takes another political family to get in and do things in ph politics, since theres so much patronage politics and political families to work through. duterte family are just the lords of davao.

  12.  @heri9949  its funny what you assume. in filipino/tagalog, "malay" or "malaya" does not refer to a people. "malay" literally means consciousness and "malaya" is an adjective meaning free or independent. there are no wannabe malays in ph, only malaysians who want to hog "malay" to themselves, but that's why it got renamed to "malaysia" than "malaya". lol ph is diverse and not only inhabited by lowland austronesian groups. many are also mixed mestizos of which the most common are mixed chinese mestizos and a rare few legitimate spanish mestizos and these days, there are also many chinese filipinos, and a few japanese filipinos, korean filipinos, filipino americans, filipino canadians, etc.

  15. the effort put into the mandarin pronunciations is very much appreciated!

  16. Nusantara is too indonesia-centric. "Malaya" is a term that crosses boundaries which works in both philippines and malaysia. "malaya" means free and independent in filipino. malaysians just stole the word to name their country before

  20. lol culturally different my ass hahaha. as if maphilindo is supposed to be made in the image of a muslim malay state. that's where the assumption will not hold up. all maphilindo states from philippines, malaysia, singapore, brunei, indonesia can function secularly together without it being about any ethnic group and it will still be a workable concept. also the others are only "poor" because all the other countrysides have to be factored in when the large metropolises can be as rich as singapore and brunei

  23.  @heri9949  lol look who's pretending to be smart here. i dont care what you consider to be some sort of corruption. if it was really from that, why didnt they name it federation of melayu, so of course they realized all that mess and whatever corruption shit it is. so now, it's named "malays" + "-ia". "-ia" is latin or greco-roman like all the placename suffixes they keep using around europe and then around the east indies

  24.  @dwargonedragon794  this was not about who is called "malay". it was about a country being called "Malaya". Also, ph is not just tagalogs lol and they are not even the real ones controlling ph government. there are many placenames in the country that use the term malay like around panay island and mindanao. tho, as I said, there is a different word with different meaning in ph languages for "malay" and "malaya". there are just many homonyms, just like there is also a "bisaya" and "batak" present in the philippines and malaysia and indonesia. there are also cognate words and placenames that now mean differently and now used for places around borneo and in the philippines, like sibu, cebu, etc.

  26.  @MoManthepoet  the yanks have been kicked out long since ww2 and american bases were turned into commercial ports and airports. the US is just a means to protect the region. china, japan, india are the big heavyweights that could actually threaten sovereignty in asean and have lasting demographic change than a far away european empire that cannot realistically integrate us lol. taiwan had the same history as spanish and dutch colonial possession, yet being near china and japan drew their fates. if taiwan got withered away and turned into a chinese state, whats stopping the next peripheries from being transformed as well?

  27.  @shadowwarrior2030  who gets to rule a place by force in this day and age? lol if u ever rule a place, of course u try so hard to make sure the places loves u and reelects u every time. thats why u get to rule them, cuz they love being under u and want u to keep ruling. lol also, "filipino" is a nationality and includes everyone in the country and not just of lowland catholic austronesian descent. one can be Filipino, regardless if one is not tagalog or cebuano or ilocano or ilonggo or bikolano or etc.

  29. if you're serious about wanting a geopolitics video about the philippines, you might have to start paying to get into his patreon to get some voice into his video suggestion polls. also shirvan might not need to show everyone every bit of philippine history just to properly produce a geopolitical analysis of the philippines. his main concern with the philippines is its position with china and the US, especially on the south china sea dispute which he finds that ph is lacking on the armed forces front. plus, of course, its not just all about territorial disputes with china or even sabah with malaysia or palmas island with indonesia, ph also has internal issues with communist insurgents agitating for leftist ideals and regionalist secession and of course, radicalized islamic groups transiting from malaysia and indonesia supporting muslim secessionist groups

  30. lol europe and africa has more border gore. in maritime southeast asia, its simply just the sea thats the border except of course for the border between malaysia and indonesia and the border between malaysia and brunei. besides those two, the sea is just the border.

  31.  @IxyunChai  it has nothing to do with ancient historical linguistic influence. naming states is a political move from the main political actors of that time, in which in this case was during the late 20th century when the policymakers of what would become malaysia were facing the hungry neighbors of philippines and indonesia. what could be better than using a pan-ethnic name that can encompass even more than modern malaysia to compete against its direct neighbors? of course, later they saw it futile and reverted to "malaysia"...

  32. just ensure to build the bridge higher... if they dont, then they could renovate it in the future when Neum becomes a big port that needs bigger ships to go into if the bosnian side is determined to make Neum into a big port, they will incur costs anyways if they avoid higher cost now

  33. as someone who grew up studying mandarin chinese. no, shirvan's pronunciation of mandarin chinese names in the province names are actually alll still mostly mistaken. he has not distinguished the differences of the pinyin system with the english alphabet. letters B and P are not the same mandarin pinyin and the english alphabet, likewise letters G and K and also letters D and T.... and likewise, most other letters in the pinyin system are not the same with the letters in the english alphabet

  36. oh its harder for protests to spring up in north korea. any protest that starts in a certain part of the country will never spread to any other part of the country because people are not allowed to travel without government permission so any protest that happens doesnt spread and just get shot at then any specific person who committed a crime will be publicly executed with everyone around required to watch even as a child

  37.  @John_Smith__  netherlands and spain successfully stole portuguese territories in indonesia lol, leaving only east timor alive. thats why indonesia has so many portuguese loanwords

  38.  @Zim___  so the British thought of it? why didn't they just say "Federation of Melayu" rather than butchering up the pronunciation and telling everyone there this is now what we will call your country

  39.  @metallicshah  your malay language influence is a relic of the past almost a thousand years ago. the spread of tagalog around the philippines can be observed by the numerous loans all the other ph languages have loaned throughout the centuries and austronesian linguists like blust himself uses this when comparing austronesian roots in the area. tho anyways, countrynames does not have anything to do with the natural social or trade influence of languages because countrynames are more of a political nature. malaysia was formed only some decades ago in late 20th century when both philippines and indonesia were already formed. they changed the country name to Malaysia rather than keeping Malaya cuz they saw the conflict to whoever thought of the name that was supposed to come from Melayu.

  42. I'm suspecting you aren't, if not being sarcastic. he pronounced all the chinese names and placenames in this video the usual way people, who don't know how mandarin pinyin works, does, which is not accurate at all.

  46.  @riventv4927  probably around just 1/3 of the average urban filipino in the cities and towns. mestizos and chinese mestizos among assimilated filipinos are more commonly observable around the big cities, towns, and plantations before. theyve been intermixing for centuries that they will all still usually say theyre "filipino" whatever that specifically means to each person
