Two years ago the Philippines outlawed online gambling. Since then uncovered illegal gambling sites have been found in legitimate Chinese owned businesses, one was said to have people held against their will to operate these illegal activities. The Philippines retaliated by expelling 538 Chinese teachers teaching Chinese to Philippine students. There also have been run ins by the Philippines Navy with Chinese vessels over a disputed island in Philippine waters. A video showed the Philippine Navy firing water cannons at Chinese ships several months ago. That China is sailing its Navy towards the Philippines is just China flexing its muscle and an ongoing dispute between the 2 nations. China is going to need that Navy in its home waters as protests are erupting across China over unpaid wages by their workers. People have gone unpaid for several months. Where people once bragged online about how much they got paid its now how long they have gone unpaid.
