China’s regime is deliberately killing Americans with fentanyl. This is murder. Unfortunately, no U.S. president has been willing to acknowledge the CCP’s direct role and take appropriate action. See: https://t.co/sf1UzH4oTV.

:...............................PCIJ article discusses the problem of northern Luzon:
Explanation: you see, poor people whose ability to make a living is threatened by China and corruption (e.g. fishing when China blocks fishermen and overfishes the area), the question is if Americans will be allowed into Phil Military bases in the area.
and of course, there is the question of what happens if China grabs Taiwan which means blocking the Bashi channel. (The sea between Taiwan and the northern Philippines).
That last part, combined with the Chinese military bases in the West Philippine sea, means that China could completely block the busy sea lane from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific, meaning a longer detour for these ships.
also discussed: how Chinese investments, and legalized gambling, which hires a lot of Chinese citizens, opens the areas to spying and corruption.
the article discusses the Chinese spy mayor, the POGO connection, and asks why all those Chinese students suddenly decided to study English in the area.
and with elections coming up, there is a danger that the money will speak louder than the citizens;
Note: Vote buying is common here, since people figure they are all crooks and their vote doesn't make a difference. But when things are important, vote buying doesn't work, which is why Duterte got elected to clean up the place, over the CIA approved of candidates.
the PCIJ article continues:
Distrust in China is high among Filipinos nationwide. A Pulse Asia survey in October 2024 showed that seven out of 10 Filipinos would not support a candidate who is “pro-China at present or in the past.” “Many Filipinos feel that China’s actions, particularly in the West Philippine Sea, directly challenge our sovereignty and undermine our nation’s interests,” Dindo Manhit, founder and CEO of Stratbase Group that commissioned the survey, said then. Retired Navy Rear Adm. Rommel Jude Ong, now a professor at the Ateneo School of Government, is concerned that China may attempt to influence local government officials instead.
translation: since the people can't be bought, the Chinese will try to buy the crooked politicians.
Sigh.
