Human emotion has nothing to do with it. For the PRC, to crush the Philippines would be about as hard as it is for me to break a kitten's neck. Not that I would do such a thing. But the bravery of the kitten would not matter.

There's about a million of Chinese Filipino, dude, and they are the ones who suffer the most if a war should start. And if they weren't here and war started, it would be way less funny.
Vietnam remembers bombs, as a matter of fact. You can go directly ask them.

As I said, only a fool charges straight to death. It is normal to be afraid for one's life, in order to at least maximize your life. Charging straightforward is a sure way to just pile up bodies a la Soviet Russia

True yeah. But I wouldn't just stand here doing nothing.

Oh, and the over 4,000,000 victims of dioxin poisoning in Vietnam was certainly not something to be proud of. No one wants war. If it really comes to one in this case, then both countries are all at fault.

You can't because the are dead. Bravery and patriotism are one thing , massacre and disaster another. And be sure than if shit got real, even if you got the former the latter will be the end result.

If, and I stress IF, China decides to go to war, it will be for far less provocation than this.

Plus, it has been long since China has gone out to war. And right now, there's quite some drama going inside China's communist party, with some even accused of throwing a coup d'état. There's many things to deal inside the party, and the radical wing would probably be shut down. If there really was a war, then the discussions should be quite ugly. Not a good time to start a war. It isn't the first time a country is skeptical of the UN, and surely not the last time. And as I said, PRC regards it as personal matters to deal with the Philippines.

Unless there really is a group like Bildeberg that runs the whole world, I don't think that this situation is worth a war.
If it really does escalate to a war, well, I believe that all that talk about 2012 being the end of the world could be founded. Niker

The UN and internationally binding agreements are the best thing we have so I'll take it. As it stands, the 20th century pretty much introduced the necessity of having a global standing of face, so at the very least China has to respect the decision of the global community it wants to belong to.
It won't happen as long as it treats the issue as a purely internal affair, and as such it actually treats the issue in the same way it treats Taiwan.
