Xinhua News Agency's "Straits Times" reported last night (September 7th): "The Philippines has activated a new military base in the Luzon Strait. Analysts point out that this move may enhance Manila's ability to monitor the Luzon Strait, but it may also further involve Manila in future conflicts between mainland China and Taiwan."

[Witty] Comment: The US has started to strategically withdraw and be more cautious, but the Philippines, this 'vanguard', still fails to see the situation clearly. Even if Manila activates 800 bases, it won't help. With its weapons and training level, if it really dares to charge forward, it can only bring about its own destruction. The Philippines should ask Vietnam and India, after competing with China, what lessons they have learned. If Manila continues stubbornly, it will face a painful outcome.
