  1.  @ZweiZwolf  America does not care about the Philippines other than to use them as a counterweight to China in the South China Sea these days. If the Chinese were subservient to the USA There would be no South China Sea dispute between the two countries because the USA would be on the Chinese side If the Philippines was smarter they would demand trade, FDI and loans in exchange for the Chinese claims on disputed water and land

  2.  @bertanelson8062  why would they want to change anything? The reason these ethnic Chinese a "market-dominant minority",came to dominate the Philippine economy Is because Government and the people are so messed up 👇 The concept of market-dominant minority was introduced by Chua in a 1998 paper Markets, Democracy, and Ethnicity.[2] In the Philippines, Chua notes that the Chinese community comprise one percent of the population but control 60 percent of the private economy, with the result being resentment on the part of the Filipino majority against the Chinese minority creating an ethnic conflict. Similarly, in Indonesia the Chinese Indonesian community make up three percent of the population but control 75 percent of the economy. Similar patterns occur throughout other Southeast Asian economies. Wikipedia

  3.  @garethl738  Ethnic Chinese were in SE Asia for centuries upon centuries already and more recently with Chinese people and companies moving out in the past 40 to 50 years For the Chinese it’s about building up the countries and the economies so they can trade with them 👇 Ethnic Chinese dominate PH economy by Solita Collas - Monsod on Jun 25, 2012 Truly, a picture is worth a thousand words. The pictures of the top 15 Filipino billionaires (in US dollars, mind you) in Friday’s issue of the Inquirer brought home with crystal clarity the domination of the Philippine economy by ethnic Chinese. This is, of course, not a unique situation, as it seems to be the case in all of Southeast Asia UPD EDU

  4.  @MrStevemur  Back in the late 1980s I was warning about Free Trade and the push for Globalization Especially when it came to the rise of CCP China. This was before their GDP was even a blip on the radar yet was getting laughed at and called a CCP 50 cent army poster. Communist Traitor, against Capitalism and worse names All we are doing in the west these days is acting suddenly woke about it

  5.  @ZweiZwolf yes inorder to do so the west has to build the factories, infrastructure, educate and train the people, give financial incentives/ tax breaks etc etc etc All that cost money, which I don’t see the west doing enough of any of that Where the Chinese??? are preparing for that decoupling 👇 US-China tech war: Beijing's secret chipmaking champions How Washington's sanctions boosted China's semiconductor sector MAY 5, 2021 Plan B So far, Yangtze Memory, also known as YMTC, has remained under the radar of the U.S. government. But the company is taking no chances. With the guidance of Beijing, it has launched a massive review of its supply chain in an effort to find local suppliers -- or, at least, non-U.S. ones -- to replace the current dependence on American technology. The collective effort has occupied over 800 people, full time, and including staff from its multiple local suppliers, for two years. And they have not finished yet. YMTC is seeking to learn as much as it can about the origin of everything that goes into its products, from production equipment and chemicals to the tiny lenses, screws, nuts and bearings in chipmaking machinery and production lines, multiple sources familiar with the matter said. The audit extends not only to YMTC's own production lines, but also to suppliers, suppliers' suppliers, and so on. "The review is as meticulous as knowing where the screws and nuts are coming from, the lead time, and if those parts have alternatives," one person familiar with the matter told Nikkei Asia.
