China donates $100,000 to Philippines

[TheBrit]

Beijing is fully aware of how this wil be perceived. They went ahead and did it. End of story.

I don't think I am. I could be, but I don't know the full story. Relations between the Philippines and China are not normal. The two countries are involved in a dispute over territory.

It's not a simple matter of Beijing simply channeling money to the Philippines through normal means. There is a lot going on behind the scenes. Beijing would be criticised if it had offered USD50m...I'm sure. Worse, what if Aquino rejected the offer?

It's not as simple as you guys are making it out to be.

China donated 4.5million to Japan after the earthquake. Relations between those countries are much worse. They are involved in a long running dispute over territory. They were channelled through normal means I assume. What if Japan had rejected the offer? Your conjectures seem to hold no water.

It is not as complicated as you are trying to make it out to be.

It's not the end of the story just because you say it is.

You, and others here are simply wrong.

For me, the language is quite clear. China have made an 'initial' donation of $200,000 including $100,000 from the government and $100,000 from the Chinese red Cross.

'Initial' at least implies to me that there is room for further donations.

The views being expressed here this evening are, frankly speaking, childlike.

And if China increases their donation then I will cheer them on. Frankly speaking, I find your comments childlike. "I am wrong but I am not going to admit it, I will just stamp my feet and throw insults instead of coming up with any logical arguments".

Funny how nobody but BeijingITPerson agrees with you.

Who are you quoting?

Are you saying you find my comments childlike and then offering as your evidence for this statement a silly fabricated quote?

I'd probably get more sense from a brush.

Bizarre.

Is he agreeing with me? What you mean is he is also disagreeing with you. You've got priors for looking red-faced after some serious ill-directed China bashing T.B. which included calling me, "a nasty piece of work". I'd leave it alone if I were you.

If you do not recognise your own behaviour in that ^quote^ then you need to polish up your self-reflection abilities.

You have yet to come up with one logical argument but keep throwing in easily refuted possibilities that you have dreamt up. When these do not work you rely on insults.

I do not like to deflate your ego but your intelligence and debating abilities are way below your own estimation

You have priors for seriously reprensible regressive views, flip flopping on religion and having ill thought out one dimensional ideas which you proudly declare and rhen are too vain to walk back from when others point out the errors of your ways..

donation doesn't have to be in cash only. you never know what supplies were sent. give it a few more days... maybe more is coming. even if there is none, it doesn't mean that they won't get enough from other countries. the most import issue here is how to get the donations to the people, not the government.
