上の記事では、南シナ海のフィリピン領ミスチーフ環礁に中国が軍隊を侵攻させた1995年の事件のその後を考察してるもの。一時はすわ戦争かというくらい関係が悪かった二国が今どーなってるかというと：
Since the turn of the century, however, Sino-Philippine relations have moved beyond the South China Sea dispute, resulting in a more cordial and productive phase in bilateral relations. Indeed, when People’s Republic of China (PRC) President Hu Jintao paid a state visit to the Philippines in April 2005, Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo hailed the visit as the beginning of a “Golden Age” in bilateral ties.
Of the several factors that account for the near-transformation of Sino-Philippine relations, burgeoning economic ties have been a key factor. When President Arroyo succeeded Estrada in 2001, her administration set economic rejuvenation as its top priority. Manila looked to China, Asia’s fastest growing economy, as one of the key economic engines that could help pull the country out of its economic torpor. Arroyo was determined to prevent the Spratlys dispute from hindering the development of bilateral ties, especially the goal of strengthening two-way trade and investment. As the new century dawned, the economic relationship between the two countries was at last beginning to show promise, mainly due to China’s thirst for imported raw materials and other commodities.
~中略
Since Hu’s visit, several large delegations of Chinese businessmen have passed through the Philippines and have shown a keen interest in investing in infrastructure projects, agriculture and fisheries, mining and offshore oil fields. The two sides have set an annual target of $30 billion in bilateral trade by 2010. Given the extraordinary annual growth rate of 40 percent, this target seems quite realistic.
新世紀とともに、中比の二国は南シナ海紛争の関係からより親しく、生産的な段階へ移行した。2005年4月に胡主席がフィリピンを訪問した際、アロヨ大統領は両国間の「黄金時代」が始まったと祝した。このような転機の要因の一つが、経済関係の発展である。エスラトダ氏から大統領を引き継いだアロヨ氏は、経済発展する中国との関係を深めることが自国の利益につながると判断した。また、中国はフィリピンの豊富な資源を欲していた。というわけで、中国との貿易額が2010年までに３０兆ドルに上る予定だ。
この話が無防備都市と何のかんけーが？だいたい、侵攻されたの都市じゃないし。
英語で無防備都市はopen cityというらしい。
Open city - Wikipedia
Attacking forces do not always respect the declaration of an "open city." This happened, for example, with the American bombardment of Rome in 1944.
