The person who would most likely support an argument in favor of the U.S. annexation of the Philippines is **an American business owner looking to expand to Chinese markets**.
This is because annexation could provide strategic advantages and access to markets in Asia, particularly in relation to trade with China. The other individuals listed, including Mark Twain and F. L. McGhee, were known for their anti-imperialist sentiments, while a Japanese politician might favor expansion but would not support U.S. annexation from a nationalist perspective.
