At Vladivostok...
Beijing took the time to talk to Vietnam... but not the Philippines...
Beijing took the time to talk to Brunei... but not the Philippines...
it is starting to emerge that Beijing's pet peeve vis-a-vis its Nine-Dash Line territorial grab in the West Philippine Sea... is the Philippines...
but then... as former subjects of Western Colonial Powers... the peoples of Malaya Irredenta (and Vietnam) already have extensive experience with Divide-and-Rule tactics...
so it is doubtful whether Beijing's latest bag of tricks will work...
by now, Malaya Irredenta and Vietnam are fully aware that their only chance of holding on to their West Philippine Sea territories is to confront as a unified force the seemingly overwhelming economic and military muscle of Beijing...
and Beijing knows this too... so expect the not-so-subtle Divide et Impera moves to continue...
