Filipinos Rip Up US Flags

Filipinos tore up US flags in Manila in response to a visit by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. The visit comes amid mounting tension in the South China Sea. Blinken made it clear that the US will militarily secure its interests in the region if armed clashes with China break out. Various leftist organizations, including the League of Filipino Students, organized protests, condemning Blinken’s visit as part of the US’s hegemonic agenda. Simultaneously, the ongoing protest voiced opposition to Chinese aggression against the Philippines. The US has significantly bolstered its presence in the Philippines, transforming it into a key stronghold in the region and pushing the island nation closer to the frontline in the geopolitical standoff with China. Last year, the US approved the establishment of four new military bases in the Philippines, alongside the largest-ever military exercises involving 12,000 US troops. #USTroopsOutNow #SouthChinaSea #ImperyalismoIbagsak Become a Patreon - Support our Work: Follow us: @redstreamnet
