Weapons from China to Philippines ... next time maybe TANK/IFV
They need ground weapons to deal with ISIS-fighting in Marawi city.TANK/IFV? Why not patrol aircraft and naval ships?
They need ground weapons to deal with ISIS-fighting in Marawi city.
Sure, China should sell some aircrafts like K-8, L-15 jet trainer / Y-12, Y-8, Y-9 transport / JF-17 fighter / Z-8, Z-9, Z-11, Z-10 (armed) helo / patrol boat / stealth missile boat / FFG / DDG / Submarine / anti-ship or anti-aircraft Missiles to Philippines ... if BeiJing and Manila can sign a good deal which benefit to both nations, I do think China can provide everything they want, BeiJing has the interest to arm Philippines military force.The small arms deal with China was made in December 2016, so the purpose of this transfer of rifles and ammunition is not related to what happened in Marawi.

That China arms trade with foreign country, not for the money ... usually exchange with local strategic materials or international political support. One side China soon finish building artificial islands in SCS, one side BeiJing support Philippine weapons to against ISIS in their south islands ... BeiJing already got the goal in SCS why not make good friend with Philippine via gift some free weapons ? This called "Provide Timely Help". BeiJing don't need Philippine to pay for those weapons, just need Philippine support us on SCS issue.Actually, it is not in Beijing interest to arm Philippine.
First of all, traditionally, Philippine is a Pro-US country, even with Duerte in charge Today, we still see US troop fighting in Philippine and continue US-Philippine Collaboration between Armed Force and Law Enforcement level. US is not going to be force out by the Chinese. There are worse time in 1990s when the Philippine actually did expulse all US force in the country, and still, the relationship continue afterward, that show you how deeply US interference is in Philippine.
Another things is that even at the height of US-Philippine relationship, Philippine still cannot rearm their armed force, you are talking about a country that have difficulty to pay 500 millions for a few Korean Trainer. And you want to sell them multi-billions dollar warship??
Duerte is not really that stupid, he know something he can and he cannot do, and buying arms from China in any large quantities is not the things they can do at this point.

Yes, we know both U.S and Philippines have deeper relationship than China-Philippines ... but now China developing relationship with Philippines even provide arms. Although both had a bad time when China built artificial islands in SCS, there's no eternal enemy China is helping Philippines to against their enemy that ease both strained relations due to SCS issue.The Philippines doesn't support China in the South China Sea. There were other news articles about Duterte saying that he can't fight a war with China. In other words, he would if he had the strength. Openly saying things like this is a message to all the Filipino people that China is arm twisting them on the South China Sea issue.
About the US relationship with the Philippines, there are more Filipinos in the US than any other country by far. With that comes economic relations. A lot of Filipino family members in the US send money back to other family members still in the Philippines. The country is just really tight with the US. But while relations between the US and the Philippines have always been high, a recent change was the view towards Japan. Of course after the war, the Philippines had a very negative view of Japan, and this lingered on up to the 1980s. But their opinions of Japan started to improve. And now with new developments in the security relationship, the views towards Japan are almost as positive as with the US. There is also a growing Filipino population in Japan as well. How many Filipinos live in China?

"There's no eternal friend, also eternal enemy" im glad to see BeiJing playing "a big stick, a carrot" mature diplomatic policy to deal with SCS issue. I believe China weapons will help us to win more friendships in this region, replace Made in US.
