U.S. Typhon Missile Launcher Arrives in the Philippines | Taiwan Talks EP362
The U.S.-made Typhon missile launcher is a weapon not before seen in the Indo-Pacific, and the U.S. Army is calling its arrival in the Philippines a landmark in regional capacity. Analysts say its presence sends a signal the U.S. can put offensive weaponry well within striking distance of Chinese installations in the South China Sea, China proper and along the Taiwan Strait. Beijing says it increases “misjudgment and miscalculation” and that Washington is seeking a “unilateral advantage.”

The Philippines recognize Taiwan democratic system including friendly relations since it’s a vis a vis they both benefit on manpower especially on the nano chip sectors. The Philippines have a big representation on that labor pool market from engineers to technicians. I assure you. You treat the Filipinos well, they will have your back in time of crisis. They are willing to fight for your democracy and freedom like they did in the Korean Peninsula war.

Let me tell you, I don't know the answer to this difficult question, but everyone should know the Americans are NEVER the answer - They're using the Filipinos and the Filipinos worship Americans so much they don't care what happens to their own country. Look at Europe, Japan Korea - each one of them are suffering in their own way because of US foreign policy.

Historically, Philippine forces employ unconventional strategies, e.g. Korean War, more recently Golan Heights. This was developed because Filipinos are usually at a disadvantage in terms of force and weaponry, from fighting with Spain, America, Japan and local insurgencies, "improvising" is an unspoken rule and its successes show results. They may be wiped out, but they'll take 100 enemies with each man lost. Also check out the Battle of Yultong , Hill Erie, Corregidor, and the Battle of La Naval, etc.

Taiwan has never officially declared independence. The ROC while Chiang Kai Shek ruled Taiwan claimed to be the legitimate government of mainland China.
The only ones who are threatened by these defense weaponry are the ones who have ill intentions in the region. These are not meant for attacking but rather defending for what's about to come. China says one thing but doing another, just like when they said they are building stuff on the reefs of the WPS now full blown military bases. Who wouldn't think twice to putting up missile systems when your not so friendly far-away neighbor sprays your ships with water cannons, places guns, missiles, ships and aircraft in your front yard? ohh. btw, we can't even go in our frontyard as our neighbor is claiming it as their own even when their house is so far away.

As a Filipino, I am very sure that when taiwan gets attacked, there is a very high chance that philippines will aid taiwan. But of course allies will not overtly say that just to maintain the strategical ambiguity. It is also in the interest of the Philippines to aid taiwan and to maintain its independence and sovereignity. Since taiwan has good relations with The Philippines, majority of filipinos can be persuaded to help them in conflict.

@@superduper3130 Ukraine's situation is very different. If another country tries to invade our country, Filipinos will not fight alone in this war, Combined military forces of countries such as Japan, Australia, South Korea and United States of America will make the invasion close to impossible. That is why military cooperation in the countries at the pacific is essential for war deterrence. Mutual defense treaty will be also be activated if military vessels, ordnances, personnels and civilians are harmed in any way. Which means combined ground, air and sea from our allies will come here not just ordnance support. Ukraine on the other hand has no mutual defense treaty and is not a member of NATO that is why Russia doesn't think twice in attacking Ukraine. By the way, though China is vastly superior in technologies and in numbers, Philippines have a lot of battle hardened troopers, professionally trained in different warfare scenarios. This country is always in a constant strife due to imperialism, colonialism, extremism and ideologies that often result in battles. So China has to have think twice if they want to take that risk.

@@maplered5351To invade Taiwan and to dominate the pacific, China has to get rid of the US bases in the Philippines so if Taiwan gets attacked, Philippines will be attacked also. Chinese government knows that it will take a lot of resources to do that. It will cause them a pyrrhic victory even if they successfully invaded Taiwan. China interests must be to make Philippines neutral in Taiwan issue so that it will limit the options for the Allies in aiding Taiwan but since the Chinese government's illegal and forced incursion in the South China sea, their belligerent actions gathers a strong ire in the Philippines, so our government agreed to strike a deal with US in their own terms to let US create military bases here. So if I were the Chinese government, they should be more diplomatic with a touch of cordiality and appeasement in dealing with the Philippines because the more they display their belligerence, the more it will be difficult to the Chinese government to incorporate Taiwan into their territory.

It was good to hear Gen. Lee use a contemporary name, West Philippines Sea, which acknowledges the UNCLOS ruling. The next step is to come to an understanding re-contested Islands and reject the Nine-Ten or Eleven Dash Line fables, derived from the ROC days. Relatedly, allies of Taiwan should make overtures to establish shared garrisons on contested islands as a way to begin integration of defense protocols with Taiwan.

China committed a grave miscalculation and misjudgment when it violated the rules-based global order by illegally and unilaterally asserting its Nine-Dash Line claim in the South China Sea. China is reaping the consequences of its rogue posture in the international waters of the South China Sea and the neighboring exclusive economic zone of nations in the region. China is behaving in primitive medieval geopolitics in a world that has already evolved to a higher level of international cooperation and understanding. China has resorted to bad-faith diplomacy and gaslighting, while its armed forces attempted to establish control of a huge area of neutral territory in the South China Sea. China needs to gain back the respect of the international community. It needs to submit to the ruling of the International Court of Arbitration in the Hague and abide by international law such as UNCLOS.
