The book of art of war duterte knows it that is why he play in international arena in the whole world. To get what he wants for the better future of the Philippines. Unlike before Philippines will be soon rise in the sky. I hope people in the Philippines listen to this leader. I hope they will not corrupt in their respective agency.

I do not believe that such brutal methods can be used to build a new state. Happiness and joy on the blood can not build. I'm afraid that instead of the new state he will build a dictatorship.

if you really do your homework about politics and history, You will realize that your point is just for fantasy and not reality. There is no successful state/ empire that rise without the sacrifice of blood or dealing a war against other.. At first, it is brutal but at the end you will see the good result, Even in the bible, there is a lot of war occurred to make one kingdom become successful. So i think there is no wrong on Duterte's move, Let's just wait for the result

Here is just one skyline in China over the last couple of decades:

Shanghai 1990

Shanghai 2010

This is one of many impressive skylines dotting China but war isn't responsible for this. The state relinquished a modicum of control over managers of production and private ownership in the early 80's which caused a productivity boom in China due to an influx of foreign investment however, I don't know how you define "success". Duterte has already alienated the US and the EU so if you're looking for the Phillipines to "rise in the sky", I don't think you mean monetarily?

Respect the author for the post. Impressive! Just do not forget that China would not do this if not attracted investment from Europe and America. And the Philippines started with the fact that quarreled with the American President. Where will the investors come?
