Now one thing that most people don't know, because some will defend the Duterte administration stance on opening PH to Chinese back to the times of their terms.

I've seen an intelligence article published for public consumption but mainly for the academics I think that was way back in 2023 or 2024 and that document explained that every Chinese citizen under the communist party of China has been mandated to conduct surveillance in all aspect of life where they have access to. That means everything from religion, to business, to technology, politics, and even military.

The citizens don't have choice and everything they see, hear, know, they must report back to the authorities in China.

I know this might verge towards racial discrimination but just take this with caution.
