Taiwan unhappy with the Philippines

Fourteen Taiwanese nationals suspected of defrauding Chinese in the Philippines have been handed over to the Mainland Chinese authorities by the Philippines government, a move that has upset the government of Taiwan as it infers that Taiwan does NOT look after its own international affairs

The Lunar New Year incident has triggered protests from Taiwan, which is now considering how to "punish" the Philippines for not respecting Taiwan's sovereignty over its own nationals.

COMMENTARY

How much bending over backwards is the Aquino government going to do for the CCP after bungling the HK hostage crisis? One could say that the Aquino government is trying to play a smart game dancing between the US and China... this is a fair thought, but I doubt the Aquino government is that smart and is just being reflexive over these kind of decisions.

Meanwhile, China must be loving this gesture and will milk it for all its worth.
