Chinese forces have adopted violent and inhumane tactics against Philippine troops

The claim that Chinese forces have adopted violent and inhumane tactics against Philippine troops is a serious allegation that requires careful context checking. Recent reports indicate that tensions between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea have indeed been escalating. According to a Military.com report, China has been using aggressive tactics such as ramming, water cannons, and lasers against Southeast Asian claimants, including the Philippines. These actions have been described as bullying tactics, but there is no verified evidence of "inhumane" tactics being used. The Philippines has been strengthening its military ties with other countries, including the United States, to counter China's assertive actions, as reported by Newsweek. The U.S. has reaffirmed its commitment to defend the Philippines under the Mutual Defense Treaty if attacked. While the situation is tense, the use of the term "inhumane" may not be substantiated by the available evidence, and the reports focus more on aggressive and coercive tactics rather than inhumane treatment. It is important to rely on verified sources and official statements to understand the nature of these interactions.
