queermunist comments on The United States is named as the biggest threat to the world (even by Americans)

The OP is about Filipinos seeing the US as a bigger threat than China. They're literally telling us that, in the survey.

You're the one that seems intent on ignoring what they have to say, here.

I only ever defended China as not being as bad as the US. I clearly didn't say China is flawless and immaculate - I literally said "China shouldn’t deprive fishermen of their livelihood" - and even if I think the conflict will be resolved peacefully (China doesn't do war) it's still bad. This is a local territorial dispute, though, and it's simply not as big a threat to the world as the US.

Yet you seem to somehow believe China is worse than the US, which is absurd.

South China Sea is a chokepoint which sees many trades passing through, which China is trying to monopolise. And yet you think that is different from US trying to control the Strait of Hormuz...

How many missiles and bombs did China drop on the Philippines to exercise control over the South China Sea? How many Filipino leaders has China assassinated? Did they blow up hundreds of school children?

It's clear one is worse, and this survey shows that most people on Earth agree with me - including Filipinos.
