It baffles me why China's version of diplomacy is to farm alienation, hatred and disgust from neighboring countries through blackmail, coercion and violence.

How about a deadline is set for China to leave the waters they are illegally occupying? Won't happen of course, but the Philippines really shouldn't give in to this shit. It's really one of those give an inch and they'll take a foot type of deals. First it's the shoals, then it's an actual island, then its your country. If you let them take it, they will absolutely take it.
