Chinese warship orders a Philippine patrol plane to leave "China’s waters." Philippines replied "Review your charts." They should’ve said, "Review your common sense" because these waters are 220 km from Philippines & 1000 km from China Clearly, China isn’t in its right mind

See, one China trawler can strip more fish in weeks than local fleets catch in months Now picture 10,000 of them, nonstop, year-round, ignoring recovery cycles and crowding waters near places like the Galápagos Islands This is eco-terrorism. And we’re still too quiet about it

Japanese PM Takaichi Sanae being received by Vietnamese Prime Minister Lê Minh Hưng When China is trying so hard to paint Japan as the biggest aggressor in the region, Southeast Asia is strengthening ties with Tokyo. Safe to say China’s propaganda is failing miserably

Chinese “fishing” boats caught by the South Korean Coast Guard. Clearly aware they were trespassing without a license, the crews armed themselves with iron bars, erected barriers & used aggressive maneuvers to fend off law enforcement. Pirates behaving like pirates.

A heavily armed Chinese fighter jet recklessly intercepted a Canadian patrol plane just 200m away during a UN mission in international airspace. A country that claims to be peaceful but sends missile-armed jets fully knowing there are civilians in there. West Philippine Sea

This Chinese fishing vessel, Chang Tai 80,2 was caught illegally operating near Peru- AIS turned off for weeks. Crew, stranded and desperate, claimed they're Indonesian & begged to go home. This is the dark reality of China’s distant-water fleet. West Philippine Sea Informed PH

Ask Filipinos what “law of the jungle” looks like. They’ll tell you who repeatedly violates international law, disregards legitimate rights & interests of developing countries including Philippines & bullies smaller nations Answer will always be China

China lifted its illegal fishing ban over the entire South China Sea- including Vietnam’s and Philippine waters. Within hours, thousands of Chinese boats surged out, ready to steal what isn’t theirs. Their greed & sense of entitlement knows no limits. West Philippine Sea

Imagine being a Filipino fisherman, going into your own waters to do your job & you face foreign Coast Guards shouting at you, aiming blinding lasers & blasting sirens at you All in peacetime. All illegal and All from a country claiming to be a peacekeeper

Chinese showed up at night, aimed lasers at Filipino fishermen in Scarborough Shoal & got dangerously close to their boats Fishermen say lasers felt like burning skin and blinded their eyes. Attacking fishermen in another country’s waters is piracy, plain and simple.

So a Chinese warship tried to ram a Philippine ship far away from anywhere near China. Not even 48 hours had passed since China said it was ready to “peacefully agree to joint development” with the Philippines. If this is not proof that China cannot be trusted, what is?

China says these are just innocent fishermen. It's funny because if you look closely there’s not a single person on these boats. They’re tied up tight, forming a floating wall. Hundreds of these all over the South China Sea. This is China's maritime militia West Philippine Sea
