Philippine deportation case proof of Beijing’s pressure - Taipei Times: "The controversial deportation of 14 Taiwanese by the Philippines to China showed the extent of pressure Beijing could bring to bear on the country, and is indicative of a possibility that the Philippines could be the first country along the first “island chain barrier” that China could break, a government official said yesterday.

“China could exert unimaginable pressure on Manila because it has several billions of US dollars in loans and foreign aid in the country,” the official said on condition of anonymity.
