Why is china ramming Philippine boats in waters that aren’t their territory?

Sounds like you’ve holed yourself up in an echo chamber of your own making. I already addressed all of these subjects either here or elsewhere, directly.

Because Philippines has US military bases that threaten China’s sovereignty and control of its waters. Why are there US military ships around Chinese waters and not vice-versa?

Would it be appropriate for US ships to ram Chinese ships in Chinese waters?
There are no threats to Chinese territorial waters; this is happening in Philippine territory.

There are no threats to Chinese territorial waters
Then you surely agree there are no threats to Taiwan by China?

No. The moment someone makes a claim that is utterly ridiculous in its disregard for facts, I disregard their reasoning.
If you said “the Earth isn’t round to begin with”, you’d earn an identical reaction.
Sounds like you’re projecting.

My claim isn’t ridiculous though, nor does it have a disregard for facts. In fact, I supported my claims overwhelmingly with western sources that are already biased against China. You would know that if you read my comment, but you won’t let yourself even look at information even from the west that runs counter to your fragile worldview. What makes me a part of an echo chamber, when you’re the one unwilling to even glance at western sources that disagree with you?

Then actually engage with the points they made and debunk them if they’re so ridiculous. All this is doing is making it obvious you don’t actually know enough about the subject to even have this argument.
