The Chinese influence is absolutely viewed as positive. When the Chinese influence, a road, a port, a library, a school, etc gets built. When the US influence people die and everything gets bombed to death.
What’s surprising is the Philippines has such a low US influence number considering the history and the US right now using it as a pawn to harass China. Even Australia has told the US to back the f’ck off from the south China sea and using Philippino shipping lanes and vessels as pawns to start WW3 or WW4 at this point.
