The market had tons of fresh fish, many of which could not be caught in other parts of the archipelago. The market was bustling. Fast forward 3 years after, the market is dead. The fishermen have sold their boats. All because the Chinese are scaring off other people, people who have fished there for centuries and are well within their EEZ. It won't. China has trashed the legitimacy of the court since day 1. They insisted that other unconcerned nations should not be dragged into the issue and yet, a month before the verdict, they rallied for popular support from other nations, nations who aren't even concerned geologically or economically with the sea in question. What kind of backward, hypocritical logic? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicaragua_v._United_States giving up sodomy and moving to 🇦🇪 converting to ☪ and marrying four girls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't give a simple answer. It would take point-by-point on every issue and even then I'm not sure if I know the guy well. In a nutshell, he's not considered a traditional politician which means he does want the job done but that he also lacks certain etiquette in phrasing his statements correctly without being abrasive to his own people and to other leaders, especially of allied nations. He is disciplined, but overly so. He has private armies and had justified extra-judicial killings. He also justified his catcalling whistle and a rape incident about an Australian missionary. He often backtracks and revises what he said prior. If you mean about his stance on China, he prefers to repair relations at the cost of giving up territory, an already bitter issue not just from the reefs in the sea in question but also because the Philippines already lost other territories (Sabah) to neighboring countries (Malaysia). The Chinese are not giving up an inch of their claim, and this first decisive victory for a smaller nation would be a complete waste if not used as leverage.
