PEACE BETWEEN CHINA AND THE PHILIPPINES

When a bigger and stronger country forces the smaller and weaker country to see things through their tunnel vision only and clarify it with threats instead of negotiations...
then what you have is what happens to every school in every nation around the world...
plain and simple BULLYING....
If China is so certain that they are within their rights when they claim ownership of the disputed islands and its waters, then why not, as the Philippines suggested, bring the issue to the international tribunals, in the United Nations or International Law governing maritime issues.
China insists on bilateral talks and then persists to make threatening moves instead of peaceful negotiations.....
The Chinese Fishermen caught by the Philippine Coast Guards were not fishing, they were poaching endangered species, another clear violation of international law....
ASEAN, of which the Philippines is a founding member should step in and show unequivocal support for the Philippines, because what China can do to us, she will do to them....
I am baffled at what China plans to do eventually....are they planning to fire on the lone Philippine Coast Guard Ship?...
if they do and Filipinos die as a result, they will have to prepare for what could only be a terrible backlash from all over the world...
the question is, will China care?
We live in civilized times so it is our expectations that everyone will act and settle everything in a civilized fashion...
Being civilized does not mean wearing modern clothes and using the latest in technology...
being civilized means doing everything you can at all times, to avert destructive disputes and to preserve peace....
again....we can only pray....
and this has, and always will be our most potent weapon....
we should all pray that pride gives in to humility and love for peace.
PEACE EVERYONE!
GOD BLESS ALL OF US!
