These idiots are the reason why the world is mess right now.
If there's war invthe SCS, what are Filipinos going to live on?
ASEAN is laughing at Philippines.
Anyone flew LA to Shanghai knows it takes 14.5 hours. South China Sea is some 8000 miles from the US. Why is it a “regional” issue unless the US really thinks it still or ever did owns the world. The rest of the world think it is your imagination. Get real, wake up, your dream is forgotten. If you haven’t, fly to China to take a look and see who is more advanced and happier. When you have learned more, you will feel sorry that you were born in the US, like me.
How come the reasons for China's claims have not been properly presented here, but only a distorted western view? Need fair representation, don't you think?
China is a communist authoritarian regime. It cannot be trusted.
All my comments rebutting the comments of Chinese bots here are being deleted.
So funny.
" ASEAN nations are aligned with China except the Philippines."

Interesting discussion. The host appears to understand the situation better than the 2 guest Emmer from SOAS is of course the anti-China element here.
While the host tried to inject some maturity to the discussion, he bearly made a difference.
To really understand political situation it is important that listeners is aware of these premise, politics is about agenda, manipulation of information to achieve those agenda, everybody lies and people can be misinformed either intentionly or otherwise. There are movers and there are useful idiots There is also the urge for self preservation besides interest and there is a power level dynamics, capacity and determination. There are also local dynamics/politics.
Since the movers in this situation are the US and China, it their intention, capacity and determination that matters. Others may align with one or the other or try to stay neutral depending on their agenda or forces of their local politics.
The agenda of the US is to contain China, either to limit its influence, economy or military power. The Biden admin may feel it is still stronger than China and may want a war now, the trigger could be a useful idiot like Taiwan, Japan or the Philippines. Or the US may just want to limit China influence by embarrassing it or sacrificing a pawn for rgat purpose.
China is a growing power that is still far from its potential. It will want to bide its time but will try to delay any confrontation. But it will eventually claim its prize.
There are no rules or laws, just threat and opportunity. And the ability to do something about it.
China and the US is a threat to each other. They will try to do something about it. The US wish to subjugate China, while China wish to break free. Taiwan, Japan and the Philippines are US tools of subjugation. At some point China will want to free itself by removing the threats in its neighborhood.
Peace was enjoyed for ages by world ship mariners in this international water until China's unilateral grab ( invalidated by UN Arbitral Court) of almost the entirety of South China Sea + parts of Exclusive Economic Zones ( EEZs) of the Phils, Vietnam, S.Korea,Indonesia,Malaysia & Borneo which countries have sole jurisdiction & domain ( same for all countries) per UN UNCLOS to which ironically China is a signatory. China is persistently focussing on less militarily prepared Phils on their invalidated( 9? 10?) dash line claim, reason why Phil welcomes US,Japan, France, Australia et al countries' actual & expressed support) but China seems not as insistent to better-militarily armed Vietnam,S.Korea & Indonesia which countries firmly time & again warded off even burned Chinese fishing & naval boats' intrusions in their EEZs, also was not as insistent when Indonesia & Malaysia determinedly put up oil platforms in their EEZs disregarding China's protests.

YOU THINK DAMMM
AUCOS STUFF Y BALLS
US CREDIBILITY ZEPHYR
CHINA NEEDS TAIWAN YOU'RE ALL OKAY GIVE BACK
CHINA won't attack in the front door IT will block the Taiwan straight it will attack from Solomon islands PALAWAN Cagayan BATANES NAVAL BASE IN LUZON STRAIGHT AND BASCO BATANES clean no guards all American BASE IS OVERWHELMED Y IN 3 HOUR'S FROM BAHO THE MASINLOC AND SPRATLY AND THE PLAN IS TO INVADE AS US AMERICAN PBBM BUSSY WITH WARE INE UKRAINE AND MIDDLE EAST.
After finishing the whole video, my conclusion is that all the three are very informed and balanced, better than those think tanks invited in the US forum or speeches.🎉🎉🎉
Very amusing thank you.
In the case of the Phils, China must withdraw first their incursions in Phil. territory before they talk bilateral concessions. China must come clean.
Phils would have stayed neutral to China and US, if China did not take Phil territories through bullying. CHINA does not deserve to lead the world as it has no respect to international laws.
You are so far from South China Sea to cause troubles in the SCS.
When you use terms like Indo Pacific you used the master's term, it is the correct namenclature to call it Asia Pacific.

Waste your F time 😊

The united states owns all the seas n oceans in the world if you dare to dispute you will be in big big trouble
Who care about this conference’s only one sided. Its asean areas and let’s those countries take care of it region. The western world should stay out of its region.
The western state governance philosophy doesn’t apply to other regional states. History os Asian governance hasn’t been about security but commerce.
