At the same time, when the Chinese Navy and China Coast Guard collided with the Philippine Coast Guard ship at Huangyan Island, on August 11, President of the Philippines, Ferdinand Marcos Jr., surprisingly claimed: "If a war breaks out in Taiwan, the Philippines will inevitably be involved," "We (the Philippines) will only be caught up in this chaos, we will be dragged into it, we will be dragged into it." For the U.S. military, without the Philippines as a forward base, the difficulty of U.S. involvement in the Taiwan Strait would increase exponentially.
