At least I had a good post. You have had none.

I recall you posting fake websites as attribution (click the link and nothing happens, LOL!) and including fake stories to support your hatred of all things American. Oh well, you remain bitter about not being an American citizen and delusional about reality. Such is life.

No. I realize that you were brought up reading Chinese censored history books but you blundered badly here. The Philippines did not 'kicked'(dumb fuck) the USA out in 1987. Following the destructive forces of Mt. Pinatubu's explosion, our bases were in need of massive repair. The Philippines saw an opportunity to demand more money and when the U.S. legislature said no, they chose not to renew the permanent base leases. A few years passed and some folks realized that they needed our support, technology, protection and guidance.
we no longer have large, permanant bases there. We have many FOBs and enjoy unrestricted air and water space rights. Despite our economic issues, American taxpayers continue to provide hundreds of millions of dollars each year to the RP. Our loans give us a presence and our unyielding support guarantees it.
Try again.
That is funny. I had been to China quite often, but could not read Chinese, you numbnuts! I had been living in the America most of my great life.

While we do not take sides on the competing sovereignty claims to land features in the South China Sea, as a Pacific power we have a national interest in freedom of navigation, the maintenance of peace and stability, respect for international law, and the unimpeded, lawful commerce across our sea lanes," she said.
.
.

Clinton's ambiguous position on the Scarborough Shoal standoff was a word-for-word playback of a US Congressional Research report issued in early April. The parse of the US response was that unless China attacks integral Philippine territory, rather than contested claims in the South China Sea, the US will refrain from any military intervention.

Philippine officials involved in the 2+2 meeting accepted the US's non-committal response and echoed Clinton's call for a diplomatic solution to the territorial dispute. In their statements, the two ministers admitted that the Philippines has neglected its external defense capabilities as the government poured military resources into internal conflicts, including combating a communist insurgency, Muslim separatist groups and the Abu Sayyaf terrorist group.

China’s economy
Poor by definition

China’s government offers relief to the poor and to the economy

Dec 3rd 2011 | HONG KONG |

SINCE 1978 China has liberated more people from poverty than any other country in history, partly because China before 1978 consigned more people to poverty than anywhere else in history. But this week China added over 100m to the ranks of the poor. This was not the result of some economic calamity, but of the government’s welcome decision to relax its definition of rural poverty. About 128m Chinese countryfolk earning less than 2,300 yuan ($361) a year will now be deemed poor, compared with the 26.9m who fell beneath the previous poverty line of 1,196 yuan.

China has a tradition of defining destitution abstemiously, perhaps in an effort to keep the poverty count low and the relief bill down. But this week’s decision raises China’s poverty line close to or even above the World Bank’s global standard of $1.25 per day. That standard is widely misunderstood. It is calculated not at market exchange rates, but at purchasing-power parity rates, which take account of the lower prices prevailing in poor countries. China’s new, higher line qualifies 100m more people for a variety of benefits. That is good news for China’s poor, and also good news for China’s slowing economy. An official measure of manufacturing activity, based on surveys of purchasing managers, dropped to 49 on December 1st, its lowest reading since January 2009 (see chart). Managers feel business worsened or stagnated in November, compared with the month before.

Europe’s woes must account for much of this disappointment. The rest of the blame probably lies with the government’s efforts to fight inflation by tightening the supply of money and credit. For the past couple of months it has been “fine-tuning” this policy, easing up on some things, but not on others. On November 30th it opted for something more dramatic, cutting the amounts that banks must keep in reserve at the central bank by 0.5 percentage points.

That should ease the credit crunch that hurt many businesses over the summer. The fear, however, is that freeing the banks could lead to a lending spree like the one that rescued China from the previous crisis. That lending saddled many local governments with debts they are struggling to repay. These loans will be rolled over once, according to reports. But if local governments still need a bail-out after that, they will have to cede some of their budgetary freedoms to Beijing. That is how fiscal federalism works—as Europe is about to discover.

If China’s slowdown remains modest, the government may get away with modest monetary measures: loosening the reins on the banks, without letting go. But if the economy deteriorates sharply, the government may lean more heavily on fiscal remedies. The central government is flush with cash, taking in 28% more in revenue this year than over the same period last year. And excessive lending to the banks’ traditional borrowers (state-owned enterprises and local governments) will help the economy less than extra spending on neglected constituencies, such as the 128m rural poor. If China is worried about the economic winter ahead, it should fatten up its skeletal welfare programmes, not its bloated banking system.

You're in an idealistic mood today and only want to see the best in other people. This is typical Libran behaviour, because you aren't good at facing up to harsh reality at the best of times. Today, you're ready to believe that someone is a candidate for sainthood or that they're the best thing that's ever happened to you, regardless of whether it's true or not.
