What do you guys think about China urges to ban all online gambling in Philippines?. One of their reason is that "The embassy said many of the Chinese citizens working illegally in Philippine casinos or POGOs and other forms of gambling entities are subjected to what media described as modern slavery due to severe limitation of their personal freedom and also Beijing welcomed the suspension of the issuance of new licenses for Philippine offshore gaming operations (POGO).
The scope of sovereignty of China cannot be imposed to countries who have their respective sovereignty, government, and laws. Even if China has a significant impact towards its relationship with the Philippines, I doubt that our government would succumb to their desires JUST BECAUSE the outcome is prejudicial to them. They are already too controlling and making our officials their puppet.
I hope one day that people realize the extent on how China has been manipulating most of the countries. Unfortunately, due to their economic power and influence over the market, they feel as if they are the superior country among other countries.
The issue of banning online gambling rests on our laws if our government finds probable cause to do so. This would require hefty amounts of data, statistics, and actual injury caused by online gambling, notwithstanding its economic advantage as well.
