President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. firmly declared on Sunday that the Philippines would not yield to "any foreign power" following an incident where Chinese forces injured Filipino navy personnel and damaged military boats using machetes, axes, and hammers in the disputed South China Sea. However, he emphasized that the Philippines would never provoke a war. Videos and photographs released by the Philippine military depicted a chaotic confrontation. Chinese coast guard personnel were seen striking a Philippine navy boat with a wooden bar and seizing a bag while sirens blared and strobe lights flashed blindingly. In this episode of The Grand Strategy with Maj Gen (Retd) GD Bakshi, he talks about China's salami-slicing geopolitical strategy. #china #philippines #india #southchinasea Full Story On: https://www.republicworld.com #BreakingNews #RepublicTV #RepublicTVLive Republic TV is India's no.1 English news channel since its launch.
