Is the Mandarin Speaking Cdl. Tagle not Filippino, but "part of a... Chinese Diaspora"?

Vatican expert John Allen appears to be implying that Cardinal Luis Tagle isn't really Filippino (who many consider to be the top contender to replace Francis when he resigns or dies), but is
actually "part of a ... Chinese diaspora" in the Philippines.

Tagle is Chinese on both his mother's side as well as father's side and didn't even apparently know how to speak the "local Filipino dialect" until he received "private lessons":

"Cardinal Tagle['s]... mother, Milagro, was the daughter of a Chinese migrant who came to the Philippines... on a business trip... Tagle's maternal grandmother, who was also of mixed Filipino-Chinese ancestry."

"... [His] grandfather pressed him to learn Chinese and he took private lessons in both Mandarin and the local Filipino dialect..."

"... Tagle's biography makes him part of a sort of Chinese diaspora in the Philippines, which is among the largest overseas Chinese populations in southeast Asia."

"... China is the Philippines' top trading partner, reaching $55.7 billion in 2018... China pumped 66.2 million worth of foreign investment into the Philippines in 2018."
(Angelus, "New Vatican missionary chief could be pivotal player on China, By John Allen, December 13, 2019)

It appears that China may own the Philippines as it owns Cuba.

It appears that it may not be a coincidence that the Philippines' government just ordered an end to the visiting forces agreement between the Philippines and the US.

Moreover, is it possible that the powers controlling the Philippines, the Vatican, the globalist media as well as the Communist China Party might want a Chinese pope who speaks the Communist Chinese Party's official language "Mandarin"?

The Economist states:

"The Communist Party wants all of China to speak Mandarin."
(The Economist, "Language - China's tyranny of characters," July 5, 2016)

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as for the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate of Mary.

Deliverance Prayers II The Minor Exorcisms and Deliverance Prayers compiled by Fr Chad Ripperger: Breastplate of St. Patrick (Modified) I bind (myself, or N.) today to a strong virtue, an invocation of the Trinity.

"Well, 'either one gives up the scapular or they give up immodesty'. The point is they cannot coexist."

By Mary's Secretary In my book The Practice of the Presence of Mary: To Live and Die with Mary , I dedicated Part II to Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Her scapular (fitting as Her feast is approaching), and I specifically mentioned how the scapular and spaghetti straps DO NOT go together. What I mean by that is I have noticed that those in the Church who DO NOT follow the Catholic dress code typically aren’t the ones wearing the scapular. I went on to say that modesty and the scapular go together and if you ever were immodest in dress, the scapular, being Our Lady’s sacramental that it is, gives one the grace to BECOME modest. I can attest to this in my own life. Only after I was enrolled in the scapular did I begin, little by little, become modest. It’s a process. Kind of like the rosary quote, “one either gives up the sin or they give up the rosary.” Well, “either one gives up the scapular or they give up immodesty”. The point is they cannot coexist. In fact...

5 Dubia Questions for 1P5's Steve Skojec & All faithful Catholics especially Francis is definitely Pope Cardinals, Bishops & pundits

Here are five really short and easy to answer dubia questions which hopefully aren't too complicated for Steve Skojec, publisher of the One Peter Five website, to answer. To make it really easy for the publisher of One Peter Five it has been formatted so that he only has to answer: yes or no. 1. Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales said "The Pope... when he is explicitly a heretic... the Church must either deprive him or as some say declare him deprived of his Apostolic See." Was St. Francis de Sales a Sedevacantist or a Benevacantist? Answer: yes or no. 2. "Universal Acceptance" theologian John of St. Thomas said "This man in particular lawfully elected and accepted by the Church is the supreme pontiff." Was John of St. Thomas for saying "the supreme pontiff" must be BOTH "lawfully elected and accepted by the Church" a Sedevacantist or a Benevacantist? Answer: yes or no. 3. Do you think that a "supreme pontiff...
