ENGLISH PODCAST: The “China Bully” Narrative Is Holding Us Back in the South China Sea dispute

The more important question is not what China does, but how the Philippines defines itself. A state that constantly frames its position as helpless weakens its own negotiating leverage before talks even begin. Sovereignty requires capability, strategic discipline, and confidence. That means investing in maritime capacity, strengthening economic foundations, and conducting diplomacy with clarity rather than insecurity. Foreign policy is not about emotional reactions. It is about advancing national interest while recognizing that every state pursues its own. When the Philippines approaches disputes from a position of parity instead of grievance, it signals seriousness. Respect in international affairs follows strength, not self-pity. #philippines #latest #news #politics #society #southchinasea #peace #westphilippinesea #china #dispute #conflict #asiancentury #diplomacy #foreignpolicy #foreignaffairs ______ 💌 Stay connected!
