Your statement "All their weapons are copied." is wrong. The Chinese developed crossbows and used explosives in a variety of ways in warfare long before all of/most other cultures did. The Chinese only lost wars at points when their dynasties were their weakest or when it had no strong leadership. How many wars have outsiders won against China when it was ruled with a firm hand?

The Chinese should just sink the Pinoy ship. The Pinoys are shite warriors. If they cannot even handle one MILF, how are they going to take on a huge military like China's? The US would not dare to do anything. They have got enough crap (Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, North Korea, and domestic problems) on their plate already. They would not want to stretch themselves beyond their limits.
Agree, crossbow with STANDARDIZED bronze triggers were already discovered in Qin dynasty tombs. Zhuge nu (repeating crossbow) was used much later and even tested on Mythbusters. Not only incendiary/flaming spears (fire lance) but even then ancient missiles and multiple rocket launchers were already invented by them.
