Marcos: Philippines-U.S.-Japan Summit 'Changes Dynamic in the South China Sea' | Taiwan Talks EP346
US President Joe Biden hosted the leaders of Japan and the Philippines in two back-to-back summits in a show of unity to Beijing. Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said the trilateral summit would change the dynamic in the South China Sea and the region. What does deepening cooperation between Taiwan’s neighbors mean for China? What will Beijing do next in response to the defense and economic agreements announced around the summits?

I've seen 20+ Taiwan Talks episodes and I think the host, Yin Khvat, deserves lots of appreciation. She knows the content and moderates her guests well. Applause!
Totally Agree. Hats off to her. 👏

Chinese bots are always saying that Filipinos should not fight China as the Philippines will suffer economically. They say the Philippines should follow what other ASEAN countries are doing- stay silent on China's relentless attempt to steal its neighbors territories and marine resources. Yet the Philippines, under President Marcos Jr who is courageously and publicly pushing back against China's aggressive expansionism, achieved the highest GDP growth among the ASEAN+3 countries in 2023 and became one of the Top 20 countries with the highest GDP growth last year. The Philippines is expected to again become the GDP growth leader in the ASEAN region this year. At worst, it would rank 2nd. This is projected to continue in the next 5 years or so. The Philippines, under Marcos Jr, is proving that China's economic blackmail is an empty threat.
When you are at the bottom any growth can be exponential. I just gave my Filipino Maids a 20% raised. Her pay now is 3x that of the Filipino GDP per capita 😜
@@wionporky9937 and your income is way below our US income, how about that. No wonder mainland Chinese are in our US southern border with Mexico to escape poverty in China. You brag about your income? It cannot match ours.

China couldn’t steal something that PH doesn’t own. What are China claiming are the same what Taiwan are claiming in SCS!
Next, US, Japan, Australia, Taiwan, India and the Philippines.
But over 70 percent of Filipinos are against China. Many pro-chinese politicians are likely to lose in the elections next year. Even the popularity of Former President Duterte is plummeting now because of his pro-china stance. More and more Filipinos are even calling him as a traitor and a Chinese lackey.
Can we add New Zealand 🇳🇿 too?

@@matthewjay660 Always! There is always room for those who want to help allies. Allies help other allies so we can never be hindered on having a sense of security and safety of a free and fair Indo-Pacific region.
Its not territorial dispute. The islands are not for dispute, it is already invalidated the claims of China. The dispute is the aggression.
I've had THREE comments ERASED. Go Philippines! 🇵🇭
Stand firm Philippines don't be afraid, God is with us, God bless
So what? 🤣
It’s West Philippine Exclusive Flight Economic Zone. Not South china sea.
It's $100B USD over the next 5 years from Japan and USA.
$100B over the next ten years, not $10B
Maybe 1 trillion 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽. Talk is free 😂😅😂😅😂
@@wionporky9937if you know your history what happened in Tibet on March 16, 2008?
@@pv2639 Like the Taiwan sunflower movement! Or the Hong-Kong umbrella movement? The Dalai Lama on his 80th birthday released a message of not seeking independence.
The Philippines EEZ and territorial zones are clear, defined and backed by UNCLOS.. theres nothing to dispute and the Philippines dont need to ask permission to china on what and how it wants to do or use their part of the seas and islands. The Ph only wants to protect their part of the seas.. not 98 percent of it as some delusional party does. If it was a gentlemans agreement, the other gentleman is not in power already, therefore, its null and void. Its null and void and ILLEGAL in the first place. The current govt doesnt need to honor something that technically doesnt exist. Let china hunt duterte and ask him what happened to his promise!
EVERYBODY KNOWS NO ONE LIKES BULLY AND GET BULLIED!
PBBM🔴✌️
Yin seems to be the most together host on Taiwan Talks. Her questions are very constructive in moving the guests past platitudes. Love her gravitas.
PBBM🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭MABUHAY KA,IPAG LABAN MO ANG KARAPATAN NG MGA FILIPINO.
@user-hp2tw9we9v, can you fight against China? 🤣🤣 Why are you acting like a tiger? Why? Is it because of the US? 🤣🤣
Samahan mo si bbm sa gyera huwag kami we want peace and no war
@@albietg2544 So we shouldn't stand up for our rights because we're weaker than china? Nah, fuck that. The Philippines fought Spain and America and Imperial Japan. You think China Scares us? Fuck no.
I come from Thailand I love USA Japan Taiwan Vietnam Philippines india. I will buy USA product and USA alliance country products only
who care?hhhhh@@ArmMobile-pn2cq
Theres no status quo... when one keeps building fake islands and the other is harrased trying to repair a shored ship. Before the status quo thing happened.. Ph is repairing it already.. therefore it should keep repairing. Status quo means doing what the current situation is at that time.
You're channel is doing a good job. Keep it up
Kasalanan ito ni dudirtys ka pro china yan..traydor ng pinas si dudirtys at mga bata nya..dont vote for the sa 2028..
The majority of Pilipino don’t agreed with the so called gentleman’s agreement of xi jing ping & former president duterte never will the pilipino will vow to CCP PLA no matter what happens believe it or not in case war broke out pilipino will die for the Philippines 🇵🇭 territory & its motherland May the Lord Jesus Christ favour us what it due for the pilipino.
Claiming 9 dash line = claiming you are crazy
respect the international law. there's no such thing as 9-dash line! 🙂
God bless Taiwan 🇹🇼
US investment is not 10B but its 100 billion for Philippines
Militarily speaking, China is an SS rank nation and PH is a D rank nation with C rank potential. But here is the thing, China is trying to fight an SSS rank nation (USA), an S rank nation (India) and a couple of A rank nations (Japan, UK), along with numerous B-ranks, C-ranks and D-ranks. At the same time. There is a limit to how stoop!d one can be. Picking so many fights at the same time will not end well for China.
Keep Taiwan Free, support the DPP! The UNCLOS ruling of 2016 should be underlined in any discussions re-PRC.
China has so many allies in Philippines. the ex-president, the vice president, senators and more. Philippines needs to stay strong.
Lol😂
Duterte and his allies are traitors to the Filipino race.
Mabuka ka my Philippine President Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos your people loves you 🇺🇸🇵🇭
I saw recently on X (aka: Twitter) that mainland Chinese Students have suddendly increased its presence in the northern province of Tugegarao where one of the EDCA sites is located. If this is true, the Philippine Military Authorities should investigate why this surge of mainland chinese in that particular area. If they have over extended their stay in the country, then they need to be deported. Their sudden presence in that area where no mainland Chinese seems interested to visit before is of great concern. Their movements needs to be monitored by the authorities.
Agree, the Phil govt must be fully aware of those chinese coming jn and out in the country including those engage in pogo establisments we never know if they are here on covert operations.
They are spies. PLA spies. They choose Cagayan to get more information that cannot get by computer. Same as Japan did b4 WW2. This method used by chinese during dynasty time to conquer d enemy. Cagayan is very near to Taiwan n chinese submarine can supply arms to them coz cagayan is near d sea shore..or armed by NPA or armed by Opposition party pro china politicians.😢
We (Filipinos)thank China for making us aware of our rights and our weaknesses economically and militarily. Now, this is being addressed very strongly: economically, militarily, internationally. Phil's has become famous internationally and has become a middle power overnight. Phil's has also enshrined the multilateral approach. If this does not deter China, she must be crazy and bent to self-destruction. Goodbye China!we love U.
Philippines has 2nd largest nickel deposit
Philippines is the world largest supplier of maids😂🤣😂🤣
@@wionporky9937 and nurses , seafarers, engineers and, teachers too ❤ cause Filipinos are known to be hardworking people.
Yes, but more than 70% are elementary service providers i.e domestic helpers.

we will not backed down.. Ph taiwan relation is strong
China can't bully anymore
A surge of 4,600 Chinese "Students" are now deployed in Cagayan, Philippines just last week. Smells fishy...
Japan and the Philippines should have their own Mutual Defense Pact.
We're in the time of good and evil
They forgot to mention China has issues with India also on their west side.
I think the Philippine government should either build a permanent defensive structure on the shoal or request assistance from the US Navy or Japan to replace the aging and decrepit Sierra Madre with a modern vessel with a heliport for resupply missions, as well as anti-aircraft guns, surface-to-air and anti-ship missiles. No more Mr Nice Guy!
Filipinos should unite....push back against China increase tariffs on Chinese imports.
we want Peace not a war
This Huge Business 🤑💰💲
I thought it was 100 Billion USD investment from US and Japan?
Someone said it is 1 trillion 😮

Is Indian ocean belongs to India? Why China owning China sea? Including the EEZ of Philippines and the international water because of the name?
It is not competition, Philippines 🇵🇭 now trying to take back what it belongs to our Country. China showing map after WWII but PHILIPPINESS holding 17th CENTURY MAP under SPANIARD regime.
There have been too many talks about Taiwan and the Philippines. However, I still don't have any clue if the war breaks, whether Taiwan and the Philippines will wait until the PLA invades their land or they will invade China's mainland.
changes is for their repective countries only...they are not doing this for taiwan
Just want to correct not 10 billion dollars but 100 billion dollars 5 to 10 years.
500 miles not 200 miles off the Philippines belongs to the Philippine EEZ. That's the new map of West Philippine Sea.
First
There is a China narrative that Taiwan was the one who created the original 9 dash line and they just carried this over after the revolutionary war.
China is not our biggest enemy here it is our own people. -Bonifacio😢

When the hell did Rizal say that. 😂

Its not south china sea its Philippine sea
Right, you are d the traitors who are to loose and n diminish.
The fact that you keep using south China sea is ridiculous. Start by stopping calling it South China Sea, call it international water
China's claim invalid and that's final. There's no such thing as south china sea there's only West Philippine Sea.
China should recognize the international law and the arbitral ruling for peace and stability, how can you say that they are good neighbors where our coastguard are regularly harrased, our fisherman feel unsecure and can't go further in our eez to fish more, marine environments are damaged due to their militarized artificial island,its existence itself are threat to region stability, what Filipino people only wanted is the eez that are based in rule of law in unclos to maintain the peace and fairness which china claim most of it leaving a few to asian neighbors, We don't want to stick with foreign forces but we don't have a choice, china govt did not respect our people dignity, Hope prc govt reflect their actions, "Filipino are friends to all and Enemy to no one" but if in needs to protect our rights and our country, Filipino's are patriotic. Stop being greedy, if there is Greed chaos always happen
It was west Philippines sea not south china sea because it's was lies inside Philippines exclusive economic zone
Unfairness and some nonsense talk.xImportance Promote peace. China do not created tension rubbish talk. What happened to Taipan in Spratly Useless Taiwan.
China promotes aggression.
Weird how a channel called "Taiwan Talks" keeps covering news not of Taiwan. 😂
Not weird at all. You should try studying geopolitics as well as regional and international economics. It will be helpful to you.
its not weird, its only saying that "it is the talk of the town" meaning every topic can be discussed because Taiwan is not mute nor deaf when it comes to any news.
It has been settled that West Philippines Sea area (not the whole South China Sea), are owned by the Philippines, it was ruled out in the UNCLOS.
Taiwan 😅 Xhina 😢😢😢😢😢
China is sending thousands of fake Chinese students in northern Luzon close to American Bases!
Before you talk about China's behavior with its neighboring countries, you should know the US's behavior first. You should know that the US has more than 700 military bases and some of them are at the doorstep of China. You should also know that the US is trying to stop China 's rise so that they can forever keep its supremacy. You talk a lot about China's attitude towards Japan, Philippines , and its neighboring countries bla..bla... But, have you ever realized how the people of Palestine and Ukraine gone through? And who did that? China or the US? Stop complaining China, for God sake. China doesn't invade countries. They are just running with history.
China doesn't invade other countries? What was Tibet then? And now you people are trying to take Indian land? No US bases here, so why all the aggression?
You seem to forget what China did to Tibet in 😂😂😂 1959?
2nd
China's missions is to get the resources in the Philippine territory sea then it will destroy by means. Looks their country they are polluted and some area also destroyed nature and seas.
The summit by USA biden , Kishida Japan , PH Marcos Jnr , would like to believe that they have changed the dynamics of Communist China PRC 10 Dashline in the SCS, IT HAS NOT, COMMUNIST CHINA PRC 19 Dashline IS LEGAL & VALID. IF Japan Kishida & PH Marcos Jnr believe they can willingly bludge off USA biden they are wrong ! USA biden is NOT the military power he insist that he is to insert USA into the pivot to ASIA & COMMUNIST CHINA will tremble & obey he as Normal is WRONG! When it comes to RUSSIA OR. COMMUNIST CHINA PRC both nuclear armed & capable of destroying mainland USA , no matter who is President in USA ,they USA will BACKOFF / PISS OFF !💗 GOT IT !
Pilipinos lovable teach to love another but China abuse no control. PRES.BBM A MAN OF UNDERSTANDING. BBM WANTS PILIPINO S FUTURE.
