China's SCS Strategy Thread
- Thread starter lilzz
- Start date
It looks like several senators in the Philippines are losing their patience with the Chinese embassy for its witty response each time Filipino politicians and government figures slander China like in the case where the Philippine coast guard spokesperson used caricatures of Xi during a public event.
What these Sinophobe senators basically want is to silence Chinese representatives in the Philippines while Filipino politicians will have a free reign in making False Defamatory accusations against China.
The current strategy by the Chinese embassy in PH is actually brilliant, just keep responding to Filipino politicians until they lose their temper and trip themselves from extreme anger. Sooner or later the Philippines will commit a serious mistake and China should be ready to seize the opportunity to secure the entirety of the SCS.

Using Google Earth, the image from the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative is only a small spot on the southeastern edge of Antelope Reef. You can see it on October 15, 2025 and the December 31, 2025 pictures (if you look really hard with magnification). The current reclaimed land is at least an order of magnitude bigger than the previous reclamation/construction.
This isn't just related to the Philippines, it's also about countering Vietnam's land reclamation activities.
Yes, Vietnam has been very active in land reclamation in the SCS for the past few years, and neither Western nor Chinese media have commented on it.

Unless you intend to start confrontation with Vietnam over the outposts it already holds then it makes no sense to challenge it over island expansion since this just legitimizes China’s own island expansions. And China is always going to be able to outbuild Vietnam. So then you basically only have Philippines and America complaining (why would Malaysia care about parcel?)
