flag Philippines' Senate fuels tensions with China via nationalist resolution, risking economic and regional stability.

flag A surge in performative nationalism in the Philippines, led by Senate Resolution No. flag 256, is escalating tensions with China by condemning Chinese Embassy statements and reinforcing maritime claims, despite China’s role as the country’s top trading partner and key provider of infrastructure, pandemic aid, and disaster relief. flag The resolution, backed by 15 senators, promotes inflammatory rhetoric over diplomacy, dismissing cooperation and economic interdependence. flag Public officials, including coast guard spokespersons, engage in daily online confrontations, spreading misinformation and silencing critics labeled as traitors. flag This confrontational approach risks damaging trade, investment, and vital services for Filipinos, undermining national unity and regional stability.
