surayu Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 How this could affect the 1 trillion $ that China borrowed to the US? I don't think they will take lightly any "interferences" ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With respect to reopening Clark and Subic, that ship has already sailed. I believe your avatar says it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current president is in favour of having American bases in the Philippines. http://wfol.tv/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=118:us-attempting-re-opening-of-subic-naval-base-and-clark-air-base?

The US does not have to own the bases for US aircraft to re-arm, re-fuel, and take off again for more strikes. It's more likely that the RP will retain sovereignty but share base facilities for maintenance, etc. It's workable. RP and US armed forces have been training together for quite a few years now.
