Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. warns there's rising potential for outright conflict with China, just after another naval incident in the South China Sea. As the high-seas faceoff unfolded, two Chinese coast guard ships used water cannons against a smaller supply boat. It was the latest showdown in one of the world's most hotly disputed waters that many fear could descend into a larger conflict that puts the United States and China on a collision course. Tuesday's hostilities off the Philippine-occupied Second Thomas Shoal lasted about five hours starting after dawn. After China effectively seized another disputed atoll, the Scarborough Shoal off the northwestern Philippines, in 2012, Manila brought its disputes with Beijing to international arbitration and largely won. China, however, rejected the 2016 ruling of the U.N.-backed tribunal that invalidated its expansive claims on historical grounds and continues to defy the decision.

The Philippines should stop giving government projects to Chinese contractors. The Philippines should also start decreasing reliance on China by slowly starting to find alternative trade partners for different products. When the Philippines don't rely on China for anything and when the Philippines stop giving money to the Chinese contractors, then the Philippines would have already won without a drop of blood. That is how you defeat China. China's economy is already in trouble and the normal Chinese citizen is already struggling including their pension system. If you stop relying on China and stop doing business with China, they will start collapsing from within.

I live on the west coast of Palawan and operated a small fishing boat and then passenger boat for tourism from 2005 - 2014. When I first started, the sea was so alive with big schools of fish, dolphin, turtles and sea birds. I went out to the Spratlies a couple times for fishing, and I woke up at dawn to find hundreds of dolphins swimming every which way all around my tiny little boat feeding on schools of tuna. It was the most amazing sight ever! Shortly after that the Chinese moved in and from then on, the schools of fish and sea birds have all disappeared, and it looks like a dead sea.

The US Failed in detering China from the Scarborough Shoals and it's one of the reason why Duerte tried to befriend China and abandon the US. If the US doesn't do anything about the spratley Islands and just let the Chinese settle there like they let them in the Scarborough Shoals... I fear the Philippines will be helpless, short of sparking a conflict... (Can't recall which one was taken by China and wich one is contested right now.)...

The metric for sizing a navy is tonnage, not number of ships, having a dozen of corvettes is not a match for having 6 destroyers. The US Navy is nearly three times the size of the Chinese Navy in terms of tonnage, and in terms of deliverable missile payload, the gap is even bigger. China is building a lot, but it has a big gap to close.

Any armed conflict in the region would come from only one country, China. China is in violation of UNCLOS and despite losing the case in an international tribunal, China continues its unlawful and highly provocative behavior in international waters and economic exclusion zones of other countries. However, if China starts a kinetic war in the region, it will definitely lose more in the long run not only in military terms, but it may also find itself isolated on the international stage politically and economically because of its contempt for international norms of behavior. If China's neighbors and the international community firmly stand up to China's lawlessness, China may reconsider its position and abide by UNCLOS.
