With China having unilaterally drawn a "nine-dash line" (you have to see it on a map: there are literally nine dashes) that essentially claims all of the South China Sea for itself, the country feels it can bully anyone within "its" waters, despite the fact that China's nine-dash boundary isn't internationally recognized.
The other day, I was thinking that I bet the Philippines wishes it hadn't asked the US Navy to leave that big base in Subic. I fear that the PI is destined to be China's bitch in the near future.
