- Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. warns there's rising potential for outright conflict with China, just after another naval incident in the South China Sea. As the high-seas faceoff unfolded, two Chinese coast guard ships used water cannons against a smaller supply boat. It was the latest showdown in one of the world's most hotly disputed waters that many fear could descend into a larger conflict that puts the United States and China on a collision course. Tuesday's hostilities off the Philippine-occupied Second Thomas Shoal lasted about five hours starting after dawn. After China effectively seized another disputed atoll, the Scarborough Shoal off the northwestern Philippines, in 2012, Manila brought its disputes with Beijing to international arbitration and largely won. China, however, rejected the 2016 ruling of the U.N.-backed tribunal that invalidated its expansive claims on historical grounds and continues to defy the decision.

We support Phillipines 🇵🇭🤝🇮🇳❤️ from India
Namaste! 👋👋 Thank you!🙏
Thank you
Thank u.
Yayaya.....becoz war break out is not in your region. Opportunist 😂😢😅
Thank you,India❤❤❤❤
WE DO NOT WANT WAR, BUT WE WOULD DEFEND OUR RIGHTS IN OUR OWN TERRITORY AS WELL.
How do you plan to defend your territory? By calling your friends and ally? By invoking the defence treaty? Omg..always remember that the mutual defence treaty is not a NATO like treaty...the u.s will need permission to the congress before the treaty wil take effect...we will be polvorize before they even start firing thier guns....the Philippines needs bilateral talks between china not war..
Big Yes . youre right sir, the only way to solve this problem is talk cencirly like what doing the Marcos Admin❤️🇵🇭🙏✌️
@@sealandair_tv28you Chinese just dreaming to control other countries
Reminder
Human being on this planet earth 🌎
I'm a human mystery
No country can ruin d Philippines
The Philippines should stop giving government projects to Chinese contractors. The Philippines should also start decreasing reliance on China by slowly starting to find alternative trade partners for different products. When the Philippines don't rely on China for anything and when the Philippines stop giving money to the Chinese contractors, then the Philippines would have already won without a drop of blood. That is how you defeat China. China's economy is already in trouble and the normal Chinese citizen is already struggling including their pension system. If you stop relying on China and stop doing business with China, they will start collapsing from within.
Right
This was during the previous administration.
Agree
Poppets mummy
You forgot about BRICS ...half of the countries of the Global South are interested in joining BRICS. They will be trading with one another without the westerners while Phillipines will be begging trading with high cost imports and ecports. At the same time India going to be kick out of BRICS. Theyre unreliable, friends one day, enemy the next day. You can't trust them.
We are not that strong but we will defend what is ours 🇵🇭
We are not that weak,we can defend
To avoid any conflict. Every country must respect international laws.
That's the problem, China don't respect International Laws
They do not respect anyone
Then Julian Assange must be release.
Unfortunately easy said than done especially if you're dealing with ccp.
but china has no respect to othere country...
Filipino is not coward they will fight for their land and sea 💪💪💪
except rodrigo duterte
@ferjo3192 rodrigo duterte has personal army that will protect his land. He shoot first then ask questions later.
says the ex colony of the US lol
thats proven by the history💪❤️🇵🇭🙏
@@ellashy6539Better the US than the COMMUNIST CHINA. History shows how PRC treats even their own people.
Without any information, just looking in the map, you can definitely say, its belong to the Philippines.
And yet the Philippines does not even claim the whole of the "West Philippine Sea" area, the claims are for particular shoals islands and the exclusive economic zones, as well as recognition of freedom of navigation in international waters.
that is why there is a UNCLOS.. and why unclos favor on philippines.. because of the historical map.. not like china.. they made 9 dash line.. and after a few years they made a new one.. called 10 dash line ... and why india has a indian ocean.. why they did not take anvantage on name of the sea?
@@ferjo3192 all of them were in Philippine control during the Marcos Sr era but when he was ousted by communist politicians backed by china then the CCP clown started to invade them one by one. They were then in control of our country by bribing presidents. One president even manage to install 36 chinese militaries in our coast guard. Most of the soil in their installed fortresses and artificial islands came from mainland Mindanao and some were from dredging in Zambales Luzon.
Korrek bits to far away from China and thier choice ship is already in Philippines sea . Chinese are crossing there boundary.They are already in Philppine territory..How come they have no mercy to harrasment our Philippine coast .they are cruel
@@FL-uwe1942 ahahahah. tagalogin mo nlng.
I live on the west coast of Palawan and operated a small fishing boat and then passenger boat for tourism from 2005 - 2014.
When I first started, the sea was so alive with big schools of fish, dolphin, turtles and sea birds.
I went out to the Spratlies a couple times for fishing, and I woke up at dawn to find hundreds of dolphins swimming every which way all around my tiny little boat feeding on schools of tuna.
It was the most amazing sight ever!
Shortly after that the Chinese moved in and from then on, the schools of fish and sea birds have all disappeared, and it looks like a dead sea.
This is just sad
That is China's objective in the first place which is to wipe out fishes in the area since they think fishing is the only basis Filipinos have for that area!
The kleptocratic CCP just wants to steal the fish, oil, gas, etc., from the West Philippine sea!
Let's all know that this time is the fight of good and evil
The Chinese ate them all !
Having a bad neighbor really sucks, peace-loving countries should cooperate with each other, or at least support each other, to fend off a domineering gangster.
Peace loving? But you work with a country that's been bombing every other country that they don't agree with. It's a disgrace you call yourselves peace loving.
Vietnam has always hated china, now I see why.
Do you know Vietnam was part of China over thousands years
Do you know how many bombs and mines the America used in Vietnam?
Even if vietnam hate chinese, against a common enemy like USA, vietnam will definitely team up with china. Viet will never forget what USA did to them.
@@kelcordeen8630is that why Vietnam allowed US carrier to dock last June?
Viets fought US for decade but they foight China for even longer in the past.
@@kelcordeen8630sadly filipinos have easily forgotten that millions died in the hands of Americans.
The only threat in the south east asia is the US. Meddling and interfering with our countries' affairs to promote their agenda. Remove US from the equation and we will have a harmonious relationship with an economy greater than the g7.
Thank you Prof. Richard Heydarian. You make Philippines/Filipinos proud of you!! 🤩🇵🇭
GOD BLESS THE PHILIPPINES! ❤️🎉🎉🎉

China must respect and follow the International Law to avoid War, The Philippines avoids it but China is abusing and provoking the illegal claim in the West Philippine Sea.
History knows in 1st and 2nd World War Filipino is always ready to die and ready to fight to protect our Country Soverighty.
PBBM plz ban TIKTOK in PH.
Alliance is the answer to this specter of imperialism, colonialism and nationalism.. This is why so many countries are standing with Philippines 🇵🇭🇺🇸🇩🇪🇦🇺🇯🇵🇰🇷🇮🇳
Nationalism is good. Imperialism and expansionism are not.
Philippines, asias next hot war? You say that with a smile. You have no idea what war is like.
Very interesting topic
If they said it with a frown, you’d claim it was fear mongering. There is no winning with this topic.
So you choose to be a slave than go to war
Western news thinks everything is funny
NO to WAR please
HEAVENLY FATHER
Despite enduring numerous hardships, Filipinos are resilient, having been accustomed to such challenges. However, if China continues its bullying tactics, Filipinos will reach their breaking point, and China will face consequences despite its abundance. It's a warning: China should not underestimate the Filipinos' patience and goodwill, for if their rights are violated, there will be repercussions.
Some Filipinos have so much guts but nothing to show for it.
Consquences? There is nothing Fillipinos can do to China beside trash talking. China is in a different league to PH in terms of Military strength and can wipe out PH easily. 🤣🤣
I don't agree with the guy guest I think their former president duterte just live by the saying "if you cannot beat them, join them". Just to calm the waters
@@kelcordeen8630blah blah blah..... so much trash talk.. let action speaks then.. so just wait and see
Be realistic...youre only talking tough because USA is there...lol !...Phillipines itself has no manpower, money or technology to fight a war with China..
Filipinos are one of the kindest people I have never known. However, if you push them around, you would surely regret it..... They fight and resist stubbornly.... Filipino soldiers are one of the best in combat as proven by history... Just remember the battles of Bataan and Corregidor.. The Battles of Yultong...
PI was occupied and administered by Spain, the USA and Japan. That's not something I would be bragging about.
Lol, thanks for the laugh 😂

Why Melissa always interrupt when Richard is having good point of view in the discussion
I am not afraid to die just to defend my country 🇵🇭 God created this island for us only for the Filipinos . We will never retreat or give up to defend our own every single inch of our island .

My last: let's stop call these waters South China Sea and maybe sth less imperialist, like South East Asia Sea .. to clarify that ALL nations have to respect their borders and international, commonly shared space as such
You can say that again. In fact, in vietnam we call this sea as "Bien Dong" which means the eastern sea. I dont know why peole call it by the so-called South china sea lol this is so sensitive particularly in this uncertain time in the region =))))
If it is not South China sea, why did Japan surrender to China in South China sea? Some islands are named by the warship which came to accept surrender from Japan army during WW2.
@@pingq2081japan did not surrender they just give it back. And china take it as if its belongs to them. China believes that they are that genius they are not they are known as photo copy countries.
Let the Falklands return to Argentina, let Hawaii and Guam become independent
West Philippine Sea!!!!!!!
Please call it West Philippine Sea, rather than South China Sea.
Let us all pray for this..Pray unceasingly.
This is what I like about the enemies, they always belittle the Philippines. Never interrupt an enemy when they are making a mistake.
"If you want peace, prepare for a war" don't go on the thing like this: "we are very friendly nation and don't want a war" these things doesn't worked. The world is changing and war in Ukraine manifest the possibility of human nature want more territory. The only can prevent a war is to show them you've got to know how to defense yourself that's how peace going to work nowadays.
Sad to say we cannot fight as we don't have high powered militia. If maybe our country is not governed by SUPER CORRUPT POLITICIANS, then maybe we have had purchased the weapons we need to fight. It is like fighting with sling and stones. Depending to allied countries esp US....I don't know....
Well a US, China clash is pretty much inevitable. Right now it's just a matter choosing a location. It could be in SCS or in Taiwan.
Sure keyboard warrior🙄
No, it is not inevitable. It could remain a cold war & hopefully will. Doesn't have to get hot@@henli-rw5dw
That is the truth. The world had a respite in the late 20th and early 21st century with the post-war settlement, now that's sadly ended and the old reality has returned.
During the time of Rodrigo Duterte is when China became aggressive in the West Philippine Sea in terms of invading Scarborough shoul, ayugin shoul, and Spratly islands
Yes, he emboldened them for the sake of popularity and possibly to back him up in case the ICC gets him for the drug catastrophe mainly caused by Chinese drug smugglers from mainland China. Then, he advocated for a separate Mindanao and emboldened the people there to rebel and fight the army he was once the chief of. What a treacherous mofo.
Duterte let the Chinese government do what they wanted because they had a great plan to start selling philippine sovereignty to China 🇨🇳!!
@@kratos2343nako may name calling troll nanaman yung puon nyo binenta na wps
Now is not the time to fight each other. Whether you're pro PBBM or PRRD, we need to unite against CH.
Scarborough Shoal and Spratly Islands are in international waters and are disputed territory not Philippines territory.
Let's move forward Richard..😮
thank you for bringing this up on your program. 🇵🇭
I hope Philippines starts decoupling from China. It would be hard at first but it's going to be beneficial to us in the long run. No to BRI, Chinese projects, products, everything related to China.
tiktok should be banned
@@raymartintupas5401 already with the philippine military
And if china will do the same, ban all Philippine product. Philippine economy will collapse.. almost 40% of out exports went to china.think twice. Now is not the time..
how can philippines decouple from.china if most of its imports came from china most moderl electronocs for example made in china even machineries made in china. most phone brands huwwei xiaomi oppo vivo realme veloved by philippinoes. look at most cobsumer goods made in china.
@@lusqwerty like I said it's going to be a gradual process like start with boycotting and banning tiktok for example. Raise awareness in many Filipinos so they recognize which products are from China and which are not. Baby steps but pretty soon the effect would be significant as many Filipinos realize that. Anyway many big brands are starting to leave China. Many factories starting to close. Many stalls starting to become vacant in their malls. Their economy has been in steady decline.
I'll draw my own world map and claim I rule the seven seas🤦🤦🤦
What about your army? Can you challenge a group of neighboring countries? Let alone the neighboring countries, your neighbors can beat you.
There is no sunken ship of yours at the bottom of the seven seas.
There are a large number of Chinese shipwrecks dating back thousands of years on the bottom of the South China Sea (from China's Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, China transported goods to the Middle East)

All the chinese bots in this comment section are hilarious 🤣

@@yurigaming4068 Common denominator: resources found in sea in west Philippines.. during joint exploration between Vietnam, PH and China. and China found oil and started claimed everything that they owned entire seas.
What do you do to a big bully? Answer: you call on the authority to correct the situation. In this case, the US is the authority which can correct the situation. Incidentally, US and Philippines has a 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT) which states, among others, to come to one's defense in case of an armed attack.
Thumbs up!
Nah... US will only use Philippines for that war... In the end, Philippines will be fighting for its own.. everybody knows that US is the warlord.. they sell weapons .. without war, their weapons are useless.. it is what it is.
Your right

THANK YOU RICHARD HEYDARIAN for telling the world what happen in west philippine sea
The Philippines is ready to defend our own maritime rights in West Philippine Sea not South China Sea. We are not afraid to do that despite the danger on it.
Hear, hear!!! Pinoy Pride. West Philippine Sea don't forget that
Except UN still calls it South China Sea.
@@Allgood33 Just like Indian Ocean doesn't belong to India as a whole.

Being a UN member nowadays don't mean anything. That is why things escalate because UN choose to ignore these type of aggression.
UNRWA is the classic example.
china own the UN
China is influencing UN they even took the food security council.
UN is a slave and inept organisation.
Richard Heydarian is a biased and very inaccurate "analyst". Sad they brought him on. For example, he said PBBM would be pro-china, but he's not. 😂
This should invoke the 🇺🇸 US - Philippines's 🇵🇭 Mutual Defense agreement.
Indeed. This is ultimately US vs China.
Have you heard of the Soviet-Vietnam Mutual Defense Agreement?
@@user-bd7oq3yx2k Vietnam has resolved their issue with china last year and are ready to sign code of conduct.
Invoke does not mean the US will come. Lol
The US Failed in detering China from the Scarborough Shoals and it's one of the reason why Duerte tried to befriend China and abandon the US.
If the US doesn't do anything about the spratley Islands and just let the Chinese settle there like they let them in the Scarborough Shoals... I fear the Philippines will be helpless, short of sparking a conflict...
(Can't recall which one was taken by China and wich one is contested right now.)...

Why can the international Court can't emplement such laws, most specially arbitrary ruling
Correction to the title of news, the incident of escalation occurred in the vicinty west Philippines sea not in south china sea.
After failing with taiwan now trying with filipino 😂😂😂
They will fail in convincing the PH to succumb, and will move on to attempting w/another ASEAN country next.
& Each time, they will act more desperate/bold
China is rising superpower. They can wait, build military, try to bully neighbors. I am afraid that this is just beginning… I am afraid what can happen in 5-10 years if democratic countries are not taking their defense a priority.

dont use that line, "the philippines believe" because its really ours, its our exclusive economic zone people, at chinas navy is not bigger than U.S., china has numbers but the U.S. navy has still larger water displacement.
The metric for sizing a navy is tonnage, not number of ships, having a dozen of corvettes is not a match for having 6 destroyers. The US Navy is nearly three times the size of the Chinese Navy in terms of tonnage, and in terms of deliverable missile payload, the gap is even bigger. China is building a lot, but it has a big gap to close.
It should be measured through displacement as well. The US has more in this case.
@@SAM_Felipe that’s a form of tonnage
Naval battle is build battle. USA has tonnage, but China can make 10 ships for every one of USA. This is China's strength and shouldn't be underrated.
@@elmohead The fact that naval strategy is “built strategy” means that you can’t just overcome your deficiencies once you get into a war, because navies take a long time to build & staff.
Exactly. The US Navy is still many times bigger and more lethal than the PLAN.

You compare the small money given by the USA to the Philippines and the big amounts given to other countries like Egypt, Thailand, Israel, etc.
PH is a tool for USA to divide and conquer. PH happily allow itself to be played by americans.
9 dash line ?? China already upgraded to 10dash line Madam 😂 ..
Couple more decades that line about to reach the moon 😂 😆 maybe like 135 dash line 😆
it will be more than 10. If it'll include the route of the golden silk road that the old chinese people use to visit and travel. I can't wait to see 1,000,000 dash line all over the world and these proud Chinese will say "We have indisputable claims"
They even claim to have discovered America first, so don't be surprised if one day we get a 1523 dash line that involves the Americas.

You are showing not only the actual interviews (which is fairly normal) but you are also including the comments of your viewers, and responding to a few of their comments.

It seems like you are being honest about what your panel thinks about our comments as well. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
Any armed conflict in the region would come from only one country, China. China is in violation of UNCLOS and despite losing the case in an international tribunal, China continues its unlawful and highly provocative behavior in international waters and economic exclusion zones of other countries. However, if China starts a kinetic war in the region, it will definitely lose more in the long run not only in military terms, but it may also find itself isolated on the international stage politically and economically because of its contempt for international norms of behavior. If China's neighbors and the international community firmly stand up to China's lawlessness, China may reconsider its position and abide by UNCLOS.
If China enacts a new law of the sea, there will be no legal issues. The old one will eventually be invalidated.
UNCLOS only governs martime laws but not sovereignty and terroritial claims. stop trying to smoke people who doesnt know and act victim. Your understanding of such matter is appalling.
UNCLOS is fishing and oil rights. The 2016 Hague ruled in favor of the Philippines 200 miles EEZ but never ruled who owns the islands in the disputed South China Seas. An EEZ is still international waters and is not considered sovereignty. 12 miles territorial waters is sovereignty

God bless Philippines 🇵🇭 from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you DW News for this episode! From Maryland, USA! ❤
Simple point: China should recognize and respect the Decision On July 12, 2016, the arbitral tribunal adjudicating the Philippines' case against China in the South China Sea ruled overwhelmingly in favor of the Philippines. If china do this then no issues in West Phil sea.
The Philippines should look at how Ukraine is dealing with russia’s navy. Invest in sea faring drones.
To be Zelensky Junior?
The lesson learned is not to start a war.
Drones have limited range.
This was a very informative one thanks guys. Cheers!!!! - Melvin / Philippines
This was one of the best documentaries into this very disputed part of the world. As a Filippino American, I hope that war doesn't come between the Philippines and China
At the same time, the Philippines better stand up to whomever is encroaching on their territory.
Very well said Richard!!! Mabuhay from Houston Tx. USA
