10 Countries That will Help Philippines Against China

8. Japan

Another country on our list of countries that will help the Philippines against China to have officially announced its support Philippines is Japan. Japan’s foreign ministry stated that the Philippines appeal to the arbitration court was the correct decision to make, despite China’s refusal to accept the arbitration. The main reason behind Japan’s support is that the Philippines is aiming for a peaceful resolution instead of resorting to warfare tactics. Japan’s belief is that this dispute could ruin the peace in the area, especially considering China’s growth and aggressive tactics. Furthermore, Japan believes that this will affect international relations as it is a matter of maritime laws.
