It is infuriating that fucking Trump and his merry men forced us into this corner and compromise.

I'm surprisingly not against this, even before the fuel crisis.
China's not backing down from their claim and we're not too, and it's going to be a stalemate because no third party who intervenes would actually be able to force the other to stand down — so might as well compromise and begrudgingly share the resource.

It became an issue when pro-China Arroyo then offered a similar exploratory deal which only emboldened China to further their claims.
I just hate the idea of using oil as a leverage.
