State media calls the Philippine president `` ignorant '' and `` amateurish '' Benigno Aquino compared Beijing 's pursuit of disputed territory with the rise of Nazi Germany . The comments came after Aquino called for the world to do more to support the Philippines in resisting China 's claims , drawing a comparison to the West 's failure to support Czechoslovakia against Hitler 's demands for Czech lands in 1938 . The Philippines has been a key ally in Beijing's campaign to assert its claims over most of the South China Sea. China says it has chosen a path of peaceful development .
