C. Both Japan and the United States

Explanation:

The phillipines were American territories and if they were able to cease the phillipines from the american government they had the opportunity to have a better strategic position in the Atlantic and be able to conquer and attack on other asian countries, if they could make the americans withdraw from the Phillipines they would be able to take an strategic position in the atlantic from the Americans and this would be a virtual victory over the american army.

in the 1800s, chinese workers migrated to the united states, first to work in the gold mines, but also to take agricultural jobs, and factory work, especially in the garment industry. chinese immigrants were particularly instrumental in building railroads in the american west, and as chinese laborers grew successful in the united states, a number of them became entrepreneurs in their own right. as the numbers of chinese laborers increased, so did the strength of anti-chinese sentiment among other workers in the american economy. this finally resulted in legislation that aimed to limit future immigration of chinese workers to the united states, and threatened to sour diplomatic relations between the united states and china.
