    Yes, and it's simply a matter of the Chinese navy not being substantial enough to land and supply the necessary forces. The Philippines could easily muster a force of millions, and with the terrain being extraordinarily difficult to maneuver through and each island having to be taken individually, China simply doesn't possess the required capabilities. They also lack any kind of experience, unlike Philippine forces which at least have some from the fighting in the south.
    Also, the Chinese marine force is pitifully small, and that's the only force they have with the necessary equipment and training for such an operation. China simply doesn't have the capabilities to invade and occupy the core islands of the Philippines, and even Palawan might prove exceedingly difficult.

      They're not even strategically important like Taiwan, at least the latter gives us PC components and the newest smartphone chips.

      1950s America probably thought their former colony would be a first world powerhouse in a few decades, if only they knew they wouldn't have signed any treaties.

        They are strategically important though, the Bashi channel which is one of the most crucial waterways for world trade and connects the Philippines to Taiwan that allows they US to establish supply routes from both the south and the north to Taiwan. There is no way the US is just gonna let that fall into the hands of China. This isn't even mentioning its crucial role in the first island chain strategy. If the US lets China take the Philippines not only would they lose face with their pacific allies as losing the Philippines directly threatens Australia and Japan, it would greatly weaken the America's economic and strategic strength in the Pacific and ability to defend Taiwan.
        That said yeah it's a fricking third world shithole who's exploiting the situation to outsource their defense to the US, if only it wasn't so geographically important.

    I mean depends on what china wants to do there. If they are going for full genocide, and no outside forces interfere, I'm sure they'll manage to take all of PH eventually, they certainly need wives so they'll probably take all the females below the age of 40 and send them to mainland, then wipe off everything on the islands and resettle there, but that's like a 5-20 year thing. If China just wants to invade and take over the island without wiping off the inhabitants, then they're in for a rude awakening, it'll bleed them.

        Most of their old jets got fricked after a volcano eruption back when the US still had Clark AFB and they never really recovered from that. As for the navy, the expectation was always that the US would cover their naval needs and thus only invested in small boats. And for everything else, yeah it's just corruption at work.

        A powerful Philippine military would end up with a junta, remember it's not just their politicians who are corrupt but their military leadership as well.

            They're the ultimate prostitutes, they will sing to the highest bidder. The ones who "despise" America simply do so because America doesn't give them bribes while China funnels yuan in their offshore coffers.

    >Japan
    Nooked twice, got Marshall gibs
    In response to the Korean War they got WW2 US surplus, officers and enlisted who have the least or no warcrimes became the first JSDF luminaries
    Completely rebuilt the economy by the 60s, they're practically back to where they were pre-war
    Was already buying top tier high end stuff during this period, they suddenly started in-house military development as part of official clemency in the 70s

    >Korea
    Got raped by Nips, gommies almost rekt the entire country
    They got every WW2 US gibs on par with Lend Lease
    They got a dictator who was a US puppet
    Said US puppet dictator started making big asiatic corpo families rich
    They were practically all but a turd world shithole until the 90s
    They suddenly started in-house military development as early as the 80s but it truly jumpstarted in the 90s, they only started buying top tier high end stuff since a decade ago

    >Philippines
    Got raped by Nips
    Sent a token force in Korea but otherwise was pretty stable domestically
    America installed puppet presidents until the 60s, when they were no longer useful they all died in questionable circumstances
    They got a dictator who was mad hungry for the state levers of power along with an extremely avaricious wife
    Still a turd world shithole today, slightly better 30-40 years ago despite constant historical revisionism and propganda
    Can't even buy entry level stuff, relies heavily on US gibs and have been politically and institutionally infiltrated by gommie Chyna
