I don't think anyone outside the Philippines still take him seriously. As for the containers unless he can find a connection between that private company and the Canadian government, he really can't force Canada to do something about it. The Philippines just don't have leverage in anything.

He can claim a connection of course (like how almost everyone believe the CCP give orders to Chinese companies operating outside China) but he need to find a way to sue them.

I don't remember if they've already went after the local company that's supposed to "buy" the "recyclable" materials.

Yeah if the canadian government claims these are from private companies, it's going to be difficult dealing with it legally unless the philippine government can exactly pinpoint where it came from. With the ph president's overfriendliness with china, it's also not going to get him much attention from western countries. Going to war against canada over garbage is a big joke and this president knows it.

He's all talk on this issue so far. There's nothing concrete being done about it. I believe the previous administration has also complained about this but nothing happened. Can't remember exactly if it's this same shipment or a different one.

China is clamping down on trash they receive, they want better sorted trash and they want only those they can recycle for their own use. They ain't taking regular trash no more. I'm seeing incidents like happening more often in months to come, trash being dumped to developing countries.
