“Taiwan speaker hails Japan, South Korea and Philippines for 'crescent of defense'”
Personally, the #Philippines, #Japan, and South #Korea should form an alliance. My country, the Philippines, should officially pursue this instead of relying on #ASEAN (that can never do anything anyway). The #PJK alliance will then become the official body that will handle anything related to the West (like the #US and #EU) and China.
Let's admit it, many issues in Asia-Pacific were about how to handle the West, pre- and post-colonial era.
(Obviously, the West will never approve this alliance; and China will prefer to keep the current status quo.)
Bonus: The Philippines can also act as a bridge to ASEAN, and use the PJK alliance as an example of what ASEAN could be if the other ASEAN members would only stop bowing to China.
The speaker of Taiwan's parliament praised Japan, South Korea and the Philippines on Tuesday for helping to create a "crescent of defense" with Taiwan and the U.S. against China's ambitions in the Indo-Pacific region.
