You know that businessmen are more worried than usual when they actually speak out and on Friday, they did just that.
Philippines Inc. has spoken, decrying the harassment of the country’s military by Chinese personnel at the West Philippine Sea.
Thus, in a rare and strongly worded joint statement, business organizations deplored the harassment of the country’s military after the recent clash between Philippine Navy personnel and the Chinese coast guard in Ayungin Shoal. Lastly, they appealed for unity toward a non-violent resolution that respects our rights as a peace-loving nation.
As I earlier said, immediate and long-term solutions are needed to resolve the issue. Both countries must be sincere and willing to de-escalate the tensions and hopefully, pave the way for lasting solutions. Lawfare or legal warfare, said the official, is one of three warfares that make up China’s broader political influence. The two others are political influence and psychological warfare.
I wasn’t going to start this column on this note since I had another topic in mind, but it occurred to me that these two concerns may after all be related and have a bearing on one another.
