China Coast Guard comes 50 nmi off Palawan, then blocks Philippine coast guard & civilian boats. See where China is. See where Philippines is. Who’s the real trespasser here? China, your “national interests” end at your own shores. End of the story. @MalayaIrredenta
“Peace, stability & cooperation.” Exactly. That’s why there was an arbitration ruling to begin with. But one country rejected it, ramped up island militarization post-2016 & keeps bullying and harrassing its neighbors. And no, it’s not the Philippines.
Peace, stability, and cooperation should define the narrative of the South China Sea moving forward. And that's exactly what China and ASEAN countries are working toward, but one country seems out of step. Since the so-called South China Sea arbitration ruling was issued, the…
Classic CCP thug behavior: Keep East & Southeast Asia weak to stay the unchallenged overlord, while bullying them. A strong region terrifies them Because when we push back, it won’t stop at smashing their little blue thugs like this. It’ll shove China back to Hainan.
If Japan ever starts developing nuclear weapons, then China should take a page from Israel's playbook and launch a swift military strike without hesitation. A war criminal state like Japan getting nuclear weapons is a threat to world peace.
The images presented in the recently conducted 8th Maritime Cooperative Activity give insight to how far the Philippine Navy has reached relating to its modernization efforts.
International relations would have been more peaceful if all nation-states can be likened to a hamster - trying to deter the others yet still being perceived as anything but threatening, hence no security dilemma. 🐹

I’m sick of Chinese trolls pretending to care about environment in occupied South China Sea islands. Just last week, they anchored their ship on a reef that took millions of years to form, then act like benevolent protectors. It reeks of colonialism.
A green sea turtle nesting site has been discovered recently for the first time on a reef in the #NanshaIslands in the #SouthChinaSea, according to sources from an ecological and environmental research station under the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of…
This is a sight to behold! Taiwan’s water cannon blasting a CCP pirate boat that dared to enter their waters illegally. These thugs have been terrorizing neighbors like us for years. About time someone returned the favour to Xi's sea rats. @MalayaIrredenta
As expected, common sense, intelligence, and reasoning didn’t make the list.
Taiwan is part of China. Tibet is part of China. Inner Mongolia is part of China. Aksai Chin is part of China Xinjiang is part of China. South China Sea is part of China. Period.
Then on 1988, you killed around 70 of our soldiers at Johnson Reef & seized it. In 2023 added one line back to the map. In 2024, violated 2000 Gulf of Tonkin delimitation agreement, declaring new baselines here. You’re just greedy and selfish.
It was originally 11 dash line when ROC drawn it. Then PRC became the rightful government of China, and removed 2 lines between China and Vietnam to become 9 dash line as a gesture of good will. This was a big mistake, because some Vietnamese like you are ungrateful people.
So many Chinese account on X with common traits: - dont have real face, just have a fake avatar - have 0 knowledge of history, - try to claim everything as Chinese except covid 19 which originated from Wuhan, China
Nonsense. Anyone can fly over South China Sea in a US Navy plane or any aircraft- because it’s outside any coastal state’s airspace. No jets, not even those from the country the sea’s named after, have the right to intercept. Look up what international airspace means.
A clear example of the American arrogant mindset: So one day this bullshit CNN reporter decides to step on a US navy plane. He is then flying all the way to the South China Sea and starts complaining, "Why is this Chinese jet in such a close proximity" 😂😂😂😂
In Vietnam, the 10-dash line is called the “Cow Tongue line” Originally just about the shape, but honestly, what better name for something that’s busy licking and swallowing everything it shouldn’t?
“Invaded” isn’t right, China is still invading Vietnam in South China Sea, just without full-scale war. They kill our soldiers, ram and sink fishing boats, board them and bully us nonstop. Most Vietnamese see China as the northern invaders, as they always have been.
"Bless our chinese comrades"bro they literally invaded vietnam.
Vietnam just revealed its new VCM-B coastal defense system during rehearsals for the 80th anniversary of August Revolution & National Day on September 2. Vietnam is steadily modernizing its Navy to stand strong against Chinese aggression in South China Sea.
Vietnam’s airspace is getting a high-tech upgrade as VATM partners with Boeing to modernize the country’s air traffic management system. hanoitimes.vn/vatm-boeing-pa…
China’s “peaceful rise” is a fraud. The graph shows what they won’t admit. There is a massive spike in illegal patrols by China’s coast guard in the South China Sea this year compared to last year. What's rising is its aggression, arrogance and bullying, nothing else.
