Philippine president's China strategy is wrong

04:10

Since Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s visit to China in January, the Philippines has had multiple maritime conflicts with China in the South China Sea. Marcos Jr. said that he wants a "paradigm shift" on the Philippines' approach to the region, but he has been following exactly what the old paradigm mapped out, intruding on China's interests to ingratiate the Philippines with the United States. During his visit to China in January, he said that when the elephants fight, the only one that loses is the grass. The Philippines is the grass. Grass picking fights with an elephant to appease the other elephant is irrational, and ignorant to the point of insanity.
