    ?? The bases were closed in 1991 or given to the Philippines and US troops returned to the Philippines due to China aggressions and talks of giving back some bases to the US for the same reason.

    China is a bully country, they have no friends in the area for that reason.

      “Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreeement”

      5 bases added in 2016. 4 more in 2023.

      due to China aggressions

      China has been aggressively surrounding itself with US military bases. Too much US media consumption for you.

          direct response to China ignoring the South China Sea Arbitration.

          Not at all a corrupt US sponsored BS process. You must be paid a lot.

            China is a member of the United Nations and has veto powers… The court was presided by a Ghanian.

            As Fredthefishlord said, you don’t need to defend China just because you oppose the US.
