Let's start treating China the same way it treats other countries like Taiwan, Philippines, VietNam, etc.
That is a good idea. Here is what that relationship with the Philippines actually looks like. Strange how you think China is a bully and the people you are "defending" with your white supremacist viewpoint don't seem to agree. Lets let the Philippines work out its relationship with their neighbours, its none of our fucking business. Although on the whole it looks like China's policy towards the Philippines could be lauded instead of decried as bullying.
Provided below is a quick overview of the relationship between the Philippines and China (these latest available figures are up to date as of 2015).
