    They also have island disputes with Vietnam, Malaysia, and the RoC but it don't see the dehumanized devil claw propaganda for those other claimants.

      They can't even kill two birds with one stone with "Chinese imperialism." They have to specify a particular China smh

        They don’t seem to specify in Filipino though.

            Yeah, obviously, but they did specify it as PRC in the English version and I don’t think anything in the Filipino version says People’s Republic preceding it.

      Probably because those countries have an equivalent military strength (maybe except ROC) whereas China can crush the whole island, so the stakes are higher

        Its kinda a repackaging of the Eastern European "we had to ally with the Nazis because muh USSR" type argument.
