How The Philippines makes the Invasion of Taiwan so difficult: The Bashi Channel

The Philippines occupies a strategic position in the Pacific Ocean, as it sits close to Taiwan and its main bottlenecks. In particular the Philippines controls the southern end of the Bashi channel, which puts the Philippines in a position to make a Chinese invasion of Taiwan much more difficult. This chokepoint is one of China's main strategic weakness, especially in view of of the possible confrontation with the US. For this reason the Philippines, which now host new US bases, are in a position to halt an invasion of Taiwan. In this video we will analyze US and China's reliance on this strait and we will try to answer two major questions. Why is the Bashi Channel so important in the scenario of an invasion of Taiwan? How does this influence a possible US - China conflict?

    To be frankly honest, the United States and Philippines are extremely hypocritical since they thought China was a threat when those 2 countries are also threatening China’s security, even on a larger scale than what China is doing. I doubt the United States would be happy if high-powered nukes and missiles were to be stationed in Cuba or the Baja Peninsula and then launched towards Florida or even North Carolina if they were very long-range. You would have to be completely asinine if you think the US & allies would win in this war. Let’s hope this war doesn’t happen but it rather sounds as if US & Philippines want to drag us into this war and it’s not China that want to drag us into it.

    The US and its allies would win, and I doubt either Cuba, China, or even Russia would have the logistics to transport that across two oceans and possibly going through the Panama Canal, while the US enjoys itself on emphasizing on logistics more than goosestepping in parades to intimidate their enemies with wonder weapons that wouldn't be sent to the frontlines because of lack of parts and funding, either due to a toxic culture of corruption or unwillingness to send their precious jewels to be destroyed by superior technology. Armed conflict is inevitable when the intolerable side of the PRC continues to wreak hostility towards its neighbors for innumerable times. Desert Storm and Desert Shield made the Chinese rethink their doctrine, and I am afraid that the US would win in a war against China. Japan and Germany proved that and even the Soviet Union.

    WellChina was a threat first here in the Philippines. The United States provides economic growth and protection and democracy. China doesn’t want democracy and they established the 9 dashed line across the SCS which goes through our and other countries economic zones. They ran our fishing boats, spray our fishermen and harass our navy despite them being hundreds of Km’s away from homeland. We needed protection from them first. If China wants to be more secure, they should try the diplomatic way of resolving things instead of making more enemies. I see the Cuban missile crisis as just, yes the US placed Nukes near the USSR and the USSR placed nukes in Cuba… because they were friends. If China wants to be less threatened, they should try not threatening others and let them have freedoms

    The Bashi Channel was a happy hunting grounds for US submarines in WW2. US subs decimated Japanese shipping going through there between Japan & the Dutch East indies. The Bashi Channel was a choke point for Japanese maritime shipping & most of Japan's oil came through there on heavily laden tankers. It's one of the main reasons we never had to invade Japan. US subs so depleted Japanese oil supplies, that by 1945 many of their major warships were restricted to harbors for lack of fuel. As soon as I saw this video pop up on my choice list, that's the first thing I thought of.

    One mistake China made was being too aggressive in SCS, especially with the Philippines. The PH was already distancing itself from the US, starting as far as the 90s during the shutdown of US naval and air bases in the PH. They are really trying to be neutral and independent, until now. Even the recent president tried warming up with China (and was really hostile with the US) but to no avail. Now, even the doves and anti-US politicians in the Philippines are losing their influence on the general population. It's hard to imagine having 4 new US bases (temporary and limited) in the PH, especially before the SCS issue, there's no way the PH government can get away with that. The Filipinos are fearful and angry and now returning to their oldest ally. They know war is inevitable especially when Chinese bases are just a couple of miles away from their homes, locals hear sounds of explosions and see the silhouette of Chinese ships from their shores, and their fishermen are told to scurry away by the Chinese coast guard. And even now as of writing, the PH president is in the US, strengthening their alliance. If only China left the PH alone with their sea territories, the PH will not have to resort to allowing a substantial US military presence in their country. They would have an easier time with Taiwan, with a neutral PH. I won't be surprised if the PH in the future will agree to give the US, proper and permanent bases, let's say reopening the Subic Naval Base (the largest US naval base back then in Asia) and the Clark Air Base.

    Subtlety has never been the PRC's strong suit. Their default to any perceived slight, from John Cena calling Taiwan a country, to the US Navy steaming a carrier strike group through the Taiwan strait is exactly the same. Everyone is tired of it. And China had the Philippines on the cusp of being a foil to the US military presence in the Pacific--the US had abandoned Subic and Clark, and Duterte was ready to make deals, but ... the so-called "long game" that China is famous for playing was too much for them. Now the US military is welcomed back to the Philippines. Same story in a dozen other places

The Bashi channel is a strategic choke point. Chinese war planners knew this well. They need to secure this to surround Taiwan when the time comes. This channel is very important to global supply chain & contains many international communication undersea cables. Our concern for the 150,000 plus OFW’s adds also to the inevitable link to the Taiwan situation.

You think that the US can just go in there, attack something to a nuclear power without consequences? Worse still, Syria and Ukraine are proving that the USA has the hegemony power in name only and by being a freak'n loudmouth about it. Militarily the US is already an empire in decline. It's weapons aren't up to snuff compared to latest developments in Russia/China... the heavy use of propaganda through MSM about Ukraine is a sign of weakness, not strength and if it comes to a war... the US would loose. Especially with it's military command in lala woke wonderland being far removed from the actual reality of the state of the US military.

    THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "is a great last day that He save man" "The Three Stages of Work". ... (the stage in the last days, where man will be conquered, the earliest mankind was in the hand of God, but because of Satan's temptation and corruption man was bound by Satan and fell into his hands) Almighty God said The 6,000 year work of God's rule is divided into three periods: the AGE OF LAW, the AGE OF GRACE, and the AGE OF KINGDOM. These three stages of work are for the sake of the salvation of mankind, that is to say, they are for the salvation of a mankind that Satan has greatly corrupted. But, at the same time, they are also so that God can wage war against Satan. So, since the work of salvation is divided into three stages, so the war with Satan is also divided into three stages, and the two aspects of God's work will be handled simultaneously. 🙏 The SALVATION of mankind, and since the WORK of mankind's SALVATION IS NOT A THING THAT CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED IN ONE STAGE, THE WAR WITH SATAN IS ALSO DIVIDED INTO PARTS and STAGES, and THE WAR WITH SATAN WILL BE CONDUCTED ACCORDING TO THE NEEDS of MAN and the EXTENT of SATAN'S CORRUPTION in him. ☀️ Perhaps, in man's imagination, he believes that in this war God will prepare to fight against Satan, in the same way that two armies will fight against each other. This is only something that can be imagined--imagined by the human mind, and these are very vague and unrealistic ideas, but this is what people believe. And because I am saying here that the way people can be saved is through war with Satan, people think that this is how the war will be carried out. ☀️ In the WORK of MAN'S SALVATION, THREE STAGES HAVE BEEN FULFILLED, this is to SAY that the WAR with SATAN is DIVIDED into THREE STAGES before the COMPLETE DEFEAT of SATAN. But the INNER TRUTH of the total WARFARE WORK with SATAN is that its EFFECTS WILL BE OBTAINED THROUGH THE GIFTING OF MAN, and BECOMING AN OFFERING TO MAN'S SIN, FORGIVING MAN'S SINS, OVERCOMING MAN, MAKING PERFECT PERSON. In ACTUALLY, THE WAR WITH SATAN IS NOT THE READY TO FIGHT AGAINST SATAN, but the SALVATION OF MAN, WORKING IN MAN'S LIFE, and CHANGING MAN'S DISPOSITION so that he PRESENTS TESTIMONY to GOD. 🙏 This is how SATAN WAS DEFEATED. ☀️ SATAN WILL BE DEFEATED BY CHANGING THE CORRUPT DISPOSITION OF MAN. When SATAN IS DEFEATED, that is, when MAN is COMPLETELY SAFE, then the HUMMALED SATAN will ALWAYS BE BOUND, and in this way, MAN will be COMPLETELY SAVED. And so, the SPIRIT of MAN'S SALVATION is the WAR with SATAN, and the WAR with SATAN is primarily REFLECTED in MAN'S SALVATION. ☀️🙏 The STAGE in the LAST DAYS, where MAN will be CONQUERED, is the LAST STAGE in the WAR against SATAN, and this is also the WORK for the COMPLETE SALVATION of MAN from SATAN'S DOMINION. The INNER MEANING of the CONQUEST of MAN is the RETURN of the emblem of SATAN, the MAN whom SATAN HAS ATTACHED, to CREATION following His CONQUEST, THROUGH itHe will leave Satan behind and return to God forever. In this way, man will be saved forever. And so, the WORK of CONQUEST is the LAST WORK in the WAR AGAINST SATAN, and the LAST PHASE in GOD'S GOVERNMENT for the SAKE of DEFEATING SATAN. ☀️ WITHOUT THIS WORK, THE ULTIMATE SALVATION OF MAN WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE, THE COMPLETE DEFEAT OF SATAN WOULD ALSO BE IMPOSSIBLE, AND HUMANITY WOULD NEVER ENTER INTO THE WONDERFUL DESTINY, OR BE FREE FROM THE INFLUENCE OF SATAN. 🙏 Because of this, the work of saving man cannot be finished until the war with Satan is finished, because the essence of the work of God's rule is the welfare of man's salvation. THE FIRST HUMAN BEING WAS IN THE HANDS OF GOD, BUT because of SATAN'S TEMPTATION and CORRUPTION, MAN WAS BOUND BY SATAN and FELL INTO THE HANDS OF THE EVIL. 😪 Thus, SATAN became the THING TO BE DEFEATED in the WORK of GOD'S GOVERNMENT. Because MAN IS POSSESSED BY SATAN, and because MAN IS THE PRODUCT OF ALL GOD'S GOVERNMENT, IF MAN IS TO BE SAVED, THEN HE HAS TO BE TAKEN OUT OF SATAN'S HANDS, this is to say that MAN must be RECOVERED AFTER this CAPTIVE by SATAN. SATAN IS DEFEATED THROUGH CHANGES IN MAN'S OLD DISPOSITION RESTORED TO HIS ORIGINAL FEELINGS, AND IN THIS WAY, MAN, WHO HAS BEEN CAPTURED, CAN BE TAKEN AGAIN FROM SATAN'S HANDS. ☀️🙏 If MAN CAN BE FREED FROM SATAN'S INFLUENCE AND SLAVERY, SATAN WILL BE HURT, MAN WILL FINALLY BE RECOVERED, and SATAN WILL BE DEFEATED. And because MAN is FREED from SATAN'S DARK INFLUENCE, and MAN WILL BE SPOILED in ALL THESE BATTLES, and SATAN will be the THING TO BE PUNISHED AT THE TIME THIS BATTLE IS OVER, AFTER THE WHOLE WORK OF SALVATION IS DONE of HUMANITY is COMPLETE. 🙏 From "Restoring Man's Proper Life and Taking Him to an Amazing Destination". holy book Fulfillment of "When I looked up, someone handed me a book wrapped in a scroll. I opened it and I read on both sides the prayers, lamentations, and curses." (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... "His clothes were stained with blood. He was called the "Word of God" (Rev.19:13). The kingdom He brought down and set up in the highest in the sky so that it can occupy His creation in the universe and engrave on it the entirety of His Holy name "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐 fulfillment of (Mat. 16:18) "And I say as for you, you are Peter, on top of this rock I will build my Church, that even the power of death will not be able to overcome it.". ... and "The Letter to the Church in Philadelphia" (Rev. 3:7-13). ... And the fulfillment of "The New Jerusalem" 💫 (Rev. 21:10) "The Spirit enveloped me, and the angel led me to the top of a very high mountain.

    I would argue China would never invade directly when the time comes but blockade Taiwan till it runs out of fuel. It’ll allow other vessels to pass, and therefore force US forces to fire on them first. As for actually engaging China I would ask how come not a single NATO troop is helping fight in Ukraine? Nuclear ICBMs. Which Chinese also has and rapidly expanding. The narrator even mentioned the Cuban missile crisis but it works both ways. Do the rest of the world want to risk nuclear war for Taiwan? They certainly won’t for Ukraine.

    China made a huge strategic blunder when it continued to project its duplicitous diplomatic policies to the Philippines and continued to allow its Coast guard and fishermen-militia to bully the Philippine fishermen on bancas in the Phil Exclusive economic zone in West Phil sea. When F. Marcos Jr was elected president, he initially followed his predecessor's foreign policy to be close to China. However, in a short time he realized how dangerous that position was. In fact, China's bully stance and duplicity helped the Philippines side with the US Alliance. The Philippine agreement to allow the US to allow 9 strategic bases is the final defining factor to allow the US Alliance to project power closer to China

    Man the history between taiwan and the Philippines go WAY back. Before they were even called their present-day names of Taiwan and Philippines, the natives of these two groups of islands have already been trading with each other for centuries. In fact there is a term for this, which the historians have dubbed the "Maritime Jade Network." Many artifacts have been unearthed in the regions of SEA, from vietnam to the Philippines and Taiwan. The latter being called the "Sa-Huynh Cultural Sphere." So blood really runs deep and thick in relation to Taiwan and the rest of southeast asia.

Orchid Island (Lanyu island) is home to the Tao people, who share a close kinship with their neighbors to the south in the Batanes islands. They call their language Ciricirin no Tao, which means "Human Speech."

    If war were to ever break out between China and Taiwan, I can't even begin to comprehend the sheer scale of the naval-humanitarian corridor from Taiwan to the Philippines. The current population of Taiwan is 23.57 Million, even if half that were to be refugees that would rival the India-Pakistan partition of 14 million displaced. Would the PLA honor a temporary cease fire? Where in the northern island of Luzon would you house 10-12 million civilian refugees? for how long? food, medicine, housing, work permits, language/cultural barriers. It'd be a humanitarian nightmare unless the allies plan ahead.

Nothing guarantees they won't just do the same thing again to us 70 years later. just look at their track record with developing and protecting their "allies"... You want a list? Liberia (one of the poorest countries in Africa), Ukraine (alam mo na), the (former) "South Vietnam"... We should just ally with the rest of ASEAN (particularly Indonesia which has the largest standing army in SE Asia). they're way more reliable, and don't have vested interests.

    Looking at the historical records of the economy of the Philippines they were doing pretty good until 1991 when 12 Philippine senators decided they did not want to host Subic Naval base and Clarke Airforce base. Their economy struggled for decades after that. But those senators were portrayed as heroes for the Sovereignty of the Philippines. In hindsight they doomed the Philippines by rejecting the protection offered by the USA and the hundreds of millions of dollars those bases brought into their economy. They lost many Islands in the South China sea to China. China already has maps depicting their maritime border as encompassing the Philippines. Now they want US bases to come back. I say offer them ZERO monetary compensation for the USA to do that. The USA should not have to pay the Philippines to protect the Philippines.

This area used to be the resting place for US Nuclear Submarine, stay submerge for 2-3month then report back to Subic Bay. Today Pres Marcos agreed for 4 additional existing military bases under the EDCA agreement. LAL LO Airport base and OSIAS NAVAL BASE both located in CAGAYAN, the northern tip of the Philippines, which is 300 km away from TAIWAN. The closes island which is MAVULIS Island is 80 km away from TAIWAN and it has PH MARINES detachment guarding the Island.
