China is the Biggest DISRUPTOR of Peace in Southeast Asia - Philippine Defense Chief

The Philippine defense chief said Tuesday that China is “the biggest disruptor” of peace in Southeast Asia and called for stronger international censure over its aggression in the South China Sea, a day after China blocked Philippine vessels from delivering food to a coast guard ship at the Sabina Shoal.

Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. spoke at an international military conference organized in Manila by the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command amid a spike in clashes between China and the Philippines in the disputed South China Sea and in its airspace.

China is “the biggest disruptor of international peace” in Southeast Asia, Teodoro told the conference, which was attended by military officials and senior diplomats from the U.S. and allied countries.

He later told reporters on the sidelines of the conference that international statements of concern against China’s increasingly assertive actions in the disputed waters and elsewhere were “not enough.”

Sec. Teodoro is correct by saying "china is the biggest disruptor of peace in southeast Asia" and, of course, the whole of Asia. Peace, in china's term, means giving them whatever they want and claim, and follow every rule they make, as if they rule the world.

ASEAN members must know the Island Chain Strategy by now.
It was formulated in 1951 by John Foster Dulles, a visionary foreign affairs expert who enumerated the need to contain the erstwhile USSR and China with a string of naval bases in the western Pacific region to restrict sea access to these two countries.
The islands stretching from the Kurils, the Japanese home islands, and the Ryukyus to Taiwan, *the Philippines*, and Indonesia is the “first island chain” .

General Romeo Brawner who said in one of his statements: the Philippines would not take up the offer until it reached a point when they could not deliver life-saving provisions and troops were "on the verge of dying."
Listen here I repeat: "Brawner is waiting for the troops on the verge of dying", and refusing an offer from the US to patrol the sea.
Filipinos have serious problem with this dude.

In an interview with GMA News, Ambassador MaryKay Carlson said the Mutual defence treaty has “great value” amid tensions in the region, but admitted it cannot be automatically invoked.

Gilberto Teodoro Jr. is the gas lighter accusing others of gaslighting.
