                    [Title] => Use Antarctica solution to ease Spratly tension - GOTCHA by Jarius Bondoc
                    [Summary] => Imagine this scenario: China dispatches an armada to the Kalayaan Group (Spratlys) with an ultimatum for RP to vacate seven occupied isles. Brave Filipino air and seamen, though outnumbered and outgunned, brace for battle. To dramatize its seriousness, the enemy shells nearby isles held by Vietnam. RP gets the message. Civilians flee to Palawan. Manila quietly orders humiliated Filipino troops to pack up. China raises its flag on Pag-asa Island, center of Palawan’s Kalayaan township.

                    [Summary] => 
(Conclusion)
Why China is bent on doing so is apparent for Western analysts. It is building a Great Sea Wall of defense far advanced from its mainland. Corollarily, it wants to control international sealanes in the South China Sea through which one-fourth of the world’s commercial ships pass. Of course, it also wants to exploit for itself the oil and aquatic resources of the South China Sea, even to the point of encroaching on RP territory.
