Description:

China’s takeover plan counts on Filipinos to elect a new government on May 9, 2016, that is “more compliant” to giving up territory. This gambit adds to China’s range of winning options, as its claim over the South China Sea pushes other nations in the affected region to forge pacts defending freedom of navigation.
