And what does that have to do with China doing their own imperialism by water-hosing Filipino and Vietnamese fishermen well before the war, depriving fishermen of their livelihood? What makes you think China will not escalate from waterhosing when they are already sending warships?
I asked this to many of your "comrades". Have you actually spoken to Filipinos what they think of China? Did you physically go to Vietnam or Philippines and asked them of their opinions?
