However, the Philippines did not look to the United States, Japan and other maritime powers for the support of the United States, Japan and other maritime powers, as one would expect, but rather to India's help.
However, this approach in the Philippines is really untenable. Whether it is the comparison of national strength orMilitarystrength, China is in an absolute advantage. Even if the United States provides lip service to the Philippines, sending ** to challenge China's blockade line is pure pipe dream. And for the Philippines, what strength does India have?Even the United States does not dare to directly challenge China, so why can it count on India's support to confront China?The Philippines seems to be rushing to the doctor, but it is just trying to beat the Filipino-born Marcos Jr., hoping to get India's assistance.

India should take a pragmatic approach in dealing with its neighbors in maritime disputes and seek peaceful solutions rather than escalating tensions.
