The PLA is completely surrounding Taiwan right now with naval, coast guard, and air power. More than 100s of warships, coast guard vessels, and sorties are actively encircling the island. The exercise is unannounced, unnamed, and no one knows when this will end.

Listen to what Filipinos have to say about their neighbor, China: "They are not friendly. They are harassing us. I'm really scared of our situation here." These are everyday people, not PH officials. Still think China is a "friendly, peaceful" neighbor?

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?

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

China has 11 megadams on the Mekong. They are destroying Vietnam, Laos, Thailand & Cambodia. They control the river and refuse to inform us downstream countries about water flow. Victor Gao called this a Crime Against Humanity. He’s right. So demolish those dams now!

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.

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?

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.

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

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

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.

China wants us to believe that this massive ship, water-cannoning a bangka- a tiny wooden canoe- is just a “fishing boat.” Their entire territorial claim is built on lies and somehow they’re still terrible at lying.

Four Chinese coast guard boats got humiliated and driven away by Taiwan after barging into restricted waters off Kinmen Island. These cowardly Chinese incursions are the real threat to peace. Backing down against their feeble intimidation would be surrender.
