I like how you compare events from 1842 to 2019 like it's the same governments.

I also like how there's been no mention of the US on my part, but you've tried to shoehorn them in twice in an effort to deflect.

And FYI the US has no military bases in the Philippines, they all belong to the Philippines.

And neither of these are even examples of opportunistic breaking of agreements in the style of China.

The US?

Remember when the UK returned Hong Kong with the agreement that it would remain autonomous? China agreed, then broke it

And I don't know how many times China has broken agreements with the Philippines over islands close to the Philippines... One instance was a mutual agreement to withdraw any forces... Then once Philippine forces were gone, China moved in and set up shop.

These people give no fucks.

Them being a driver of it doesn't mean they will abide by it. They have made agreements in the past only to break it after the other party upholds their part and withdraws.

I would expect them to continue to overfish in these areas, knowing that every other nation won't be. They view the whole world as their own, and care very little for the environment, so this would be very on brand for China.
