    ?? The bases were closed in 1991 or given to the Philippines and US troops returned to the Philippines due to China aggressions and talks of giving back some bases to the US for the same reason.

    China is a bully country, they have no friends in the area for that reason.

      “Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreeement”

      5 bases added in 2016. 4 more in 2023.

      due to China aggressions

      China has been aggressively surrounding itself with US military bases. Too much US media consumption for you.

          direct response to China ignoring the South China Sea Arbitration.

          Not at all a corrupt US sponsored BS process. You must be paid a lot.

            China is a member of the United Nations and has veto powers… The court was presided by a Ghanian.

            As Fredthefishlord said, you don’t need to defend China just because you oppose the US.

          Is there a name for supporters of thieving corrupt regimes in service of US warmongering? How about the world’s 3rd most corrupt evil US puppet, about to rise to number 2?

            I’m not asking you to support usa. I’m saying Don’t glaze the hell out of china. Just because you don’t support one country doesn’t mean you should prop up their rival as somehow being good.

            You have to understand that nations can do good and bad, even when they’re evil
