Wait, you mean China is the one that's been consistent on policy and the Philippines was flipflopping?

I think the current situation of the Philippines with China is similar to Vietnam's situation with China in the 1970s. Vietnam signed an agreement with the Soviet Union, and the Philippines has received guarantees from the United States. If the Philippines keeps pushing China's bottom line, then we can watch the script unfold.
