A glimpse of China’s fishing militia invading the Philippines’ EEZ. Tens of thousands of such vessels, subsidized by China, operate as proxy enforcers for the Coast Guard and PLANavy. They go around wreaking havoc on sovereignty of other states & marine life alike.

A Chinese “research vessel” operated 19 nmi off Cagayan, North Luzon, an undisputed Philippine province It switched off its AIS & ignored challenges from PCG If this were innocent passage, if it was legitimate research, it would not hide This was not research. This was spying

South Korean coast guards water-cannoned Chinese fishing militia vessels that illegally entered their EEZ. This is exactly what the Chinese goons were doing to us in our own waters. Serves them right.

I’m tired of the claims that China is being “restrained” against Filipino fishermen (after entering PH waters) Remember: Chinese maritime militia once STABBED & KILLED a South Korean Coast Guard inside South Korea’s EEZ Is this your idea of restraint?

New Chinese structures spotted at Scarborough Shoal, though China said it will remain a nature reserve. Mischief Reef was supposed to be a fishermen's shelter. Look at it now. The first stage of a Chinese military outpost in SCS is usually a promise that it won't become one

Turns out Filipino fishermen wrote 'Help Me' & pretended to be helpless to escape Chinese Navy in Scarborough Shoal because if they didn’t, they knew they’d be hurt by Chinese pirate attacks in their own waters fishermen being forced to do this to survive from Chinese thugs

Japan cannot win the trust of the international community? Is he living under a rock? Japan is the #1 trusted great power in Southeast Asia (Singapore PM) China, on the other hand has a reputation for many things, including lying, as you can see here.

All that light is from Chinese industrial trawlers operating in Argentina’s waters. Argentine Navy monitors them, but cannot eliminate them completely. These fleets stretch for kilometers, overwhelm patrol capacity & keep fishing anyway.

According to China, two coast guard ships water-cannoning a small Filipino fishing boat inside Philippine waters is not just “justified,” but “lawful.” So why expect this insecure little “4000-year-old civilization” to stop ramming its warships into its neighbours’ ships?

Bravo, China. You’re proudly regressing the world to the law of the jungle. If anyone’s wondering what that law of the jungle looks like in the South China Sea, here it is, entirely coordinated by China.

Chinese social media users are now flooding platforms like Douyin which is under tight #CCP control—to claim Palawan as Chinese territory. Anyone still pretending not to see #CCP's imperialist agenda to expand beyond its already absurd 9-dash line?

Indonesia chased, caught, and boarded a Chinese maritime militia boat in North Natuna Sea. After CCG thugs looted & bullied Filipino sailors like this last year, watching these bullies get a taste of their own medicine is unbelievably satisfying. West Philippine Sea

Destroyer tried to ram Philippine vesse;. This is a video that shows that after the collision, it continued shadowing PCG & nearly collided with it again. A warship deliberately targeting a non-military state vessel should be an act of war.

China Coast Guard is seen harassing and trying to block Philippine fishing vessels in Sabina Shoal. PCG also says their Starlink was jammed by China near Scarborough Shoal while protecting fishermen. Day after day, China reminds everyone why we call them a bully.

China Coast Guard tries to block a Philippine rescue after a Filipino fishing boat’s engine exploded (2024) PCG had to outmaneuver them just to save people They block other humanitarian missions & then highlight their own rescues, as if people can only live if CCG saves them.

Chinese fishing vessels swarm the African coast, taking all the fish. They destroy fishermen’s nets- their only income and capsize canoes, risking lives without care. A Liberian fisherman says one of these big boats capsized his canoe, nearly killing him West Philippine Sea

“China discovered & named it 2000 years ago” isn’t a territorial claim, it’s a trivia fact, useful for quizzes. If ancient maps settled sovereignty, half the world would belong to empires that no longer exist. International law doesn't run on these nostalgia. @PingpingTweets
