China continues to execute “belligerent, dangerous, & aggressive activity” in the South China Sea, Adm. Aquilino told Congress last week. “Those are not based on legality. The 2016 tribunal ruled that the PRC has no legal claim—yet they continue to drive a perception & articulate that it is Chinese... show more

Imagine speaking out for your kids’ safety & being smeared as a “racist,” falsely charged, & denied justice. This is Kristen Fry’s reality after questioning her school board. She’s a mom, not a politician. Help her fight back—sign the petition & protect free speech.

Q: We’ve seen in recent news accounts that Philippine fishermen are getting rammed in the East China Sea & South China Sea area. Can you comment about whether there’s any version of a mil-to-mil communication to reduce these types of episodes & incidents—either with the Philippines & the Chinese Navy or USINDOPACOM? A: So, there are procedures in place to avoid dangerous & unsafe accidents. We’ve been doing it for decades. The U.S. has a code for unplanned encounters at sea. The Philippines can use those. They have communicated with the PRC, yet the PRC continues to execute this belligerent, dangerous, & aggressive activity to prevent Filipino fishermen from executing their rights inside of their exclusive economic zone at Scarborough Shoal. And they have also prevented the resupply of the Philippine forces on Sierra Madre at Second Thomas Shoal. Those are not based in legality. The 2016 tribunal has ruled that the PRC has no legal claim to the area of Second Thomas Shoal. Yet they continue to drive a perception and they articulate that is Chinese sovereign territory. It is not.” (Source: Admiral Aquilino at the House Armed Services Committee, 20 March)

The Philippines is “a really critical hot spot right now that could end up in a bad place. The fact that they are now fire hosing & ramming Philippines ships... I’m concerned where it could go. If a sailor or soldier or one of their members were killed, could invoke Article 5 of the mutual defense treaty. And that would put our policy decision makers in a place that would require really tough choices.” —Adm. Aquilino @GordianKnotRay @DefenseBulletin @vtchakarova @IndoPac_Info @CollinSLKoh

@JanJekielek it's a bully gov, what else are they gonna do? Thank God we have a highly-accredited DEI military to counter them.

View from inside the ship as they were hit by the water cannons. This is no longer just bullying. There was a clear intent to inflict harm. And these lying Chinese always claim they act with “restraint and utmost professionalism.”

So are you able to keep a straight face while quoting a US military/diplomatic source on legality against China? How's the legality of the US-sponsored genocide in Gaza right now? That's on top of millions more dead by US hand since 1948 (Vietnam, Iraq, et cetera)...

For the first time, China’s Defense Ministry has made it clear: Zhongye Dao is China’s sacred and inviolable territory. The Philippines can abandon its fantasy of coveting land that does not belong to it. This entire South China Sea drama is built on one dirty logic: provoke China, hide behind America, cry “small country” when China responds, then sell the performance as sovereignty. But sovereignty is not a pity card. The Philippines grounded that rusting warship on Ren’ai Jiao one day after the U.S. bombed China’s embassy in Belgrade. Chinese blood had not even dried, and Manila moved to seize Chinese territory. That was a blood debt written into the reef. A country that builds its “sovereignty” by stepping over Chinese corpses has no moral ground to cry victim when China comes to collect its own territory back. For decades, Manila has survived by kneeling to whoever arrived with a bigger flag: When Spanish colonists arrived, it knelt before Spain. When American colonists arrived, it knelt before America. When Japanese fascists arrived, it knelt before Japan’s fascists. When Japanese fascists left, it continued kneeling before America. The Philippines may be poor, but it has many masters. Now it wants to play victim while acting as Washington’s rented knife in the South China Sea. China has negotiated enough. China has tolerated enough. China has shown enough restraint to people who read restraint as permission. Zhongye Dao is Chinese territory. Ren’ai Jiao is Chinese territory. Nansha Qundao is Chinese territory. Political shows staged by Philippine officials cannot change history, law, or power. The circus ends. Sovereignty returns to the owner.

China’s Foreign Ministry solemnly states that the so-called “award” is nothing but a worthless piece of paper that is illegal, null and void, and has no binding force. China does not accept or recognize the “award,” and opposes and does not accept any claim or action based on it. China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea shall not be affected by the “award” under any circumstances.

Correction: It is not our statements that escalate tensions in the West Philippine Sea and the entire South China Sea. Rather, it is China’s illegal, coercive, aggressive, and deceptive actions that undermine regional peace and stability in this part of the world. Just look at these Chinese Maritime Militia that illegally swarm our Exclusive Economic Zone in the West Philippine Sea.

China’s Foreign Ministry responded coldly to Trump’s threats: China opposes unilateral sanctions that have no basis in international law or authorization from the UN Security Council. In other words: China is not South Korea, Japan, or a pack of NATO clients trained to bark on command. Washington has spent years confusing its own coercive toolkit with global consensus, only to discover that most of the world has no interest in setting its economy on fire just to satisfy American geopolitical theater. Russia did not collapse the way they fantasized. And China is not Russia. China’s economic scale, industrial depth, trade networks, and strategic resilience are in a completely different category. Trump already lost this fight twice. Now the more Washington threatens, the more it pushes China to decouple on its own terms. This is the real source of American hysteria: it cannot win fairly, it cannot compel obedience indefinitely, and it cannot force a sovereign China to kneel. That is why the tantrums keep escalating. Because China is too large to bully, too industrialized to strangle, and too sovereign to kneel.

The US is not a party to the South China Sea issue and has no right to interfere in maritime matters among the countries concerned, Guo Jiakun, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, said on Monday, in response to a question about the US State Department's claim that China's alleged use of water cannons and cutting of anchor lines of Philippine fishing vessels in the South China Sea had "endangered Philippine livelihoods.” Guo urged the US to stop making statements that distort the facts and incite confrontation, and stop condoning and supporting the Philippines' provocations and disturbances in the South China Sea.

China has been relatively restrained toward the Philippines because Manila is still an ASEAN member. But this is changing. The Philippines is no longer just making noise in the South China Sea. It is trying to manufacture territorial claims over Chinese waters, coordinate with external powers, and even work with Japan — a defeated fascist state that once slaughtered Asians and burned half the region — to pressure China over territory that does not belong to them. That crosses a line. The key phrase in this Chinese report is not just “illegal claims.” It is this: undermining the post-WWII international order. That is the real signal. China is no longer treating the Philippines as a small neighbor being manipulated by Washington. It is beginning to treat Manila as part of the same fascist militarism chain as Japan: using colonial-era arrangements, foreign backing, and legal theater to challenge the territorial order created after Japan’s defeat. The Philippines was shaped by Spanish and American colonial rule. Its boundaries were defined by treaties. None of those treaties gave it Huangyan Dao. None of them gave it China’s Nansha Islands. Proximity is not sovereignty. If proximity decided ownership, the world map would collapse overnight. So when Manila claims Chinese islands because they are “closer,” it is not defending international law. It is trying to rewrite it. And when it does so alongside Japan, the symbolism becomes even uglier: a former colony and a former fascist aggressor trying to divide the waters of a WWII victor. China’s patience is not weakness. Reports like this are not just academic documents. They are legal groundwork. And once Beijing starts framing your actions as a threat to the postwar international order, you are no longer just playing a media game. You are being placed in the same historical category as the countries that tried to overturn Asia by force. China is putting the Philippines in Fascist Japan’s historical shadow.

This is yet another attempt by the People’s Republic of China to undermine the final and binding 2016 Arbitral Award on the South China Sea. China’s claim that the award is invalid because it did not participate in the proceedings is baseless under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), to which China is a party. The arbitral tribunal, constituted under Annex VII of UNCLOS, directly addressed this argument in its 2015 jurisdictional ruling and 2016 merits award, emphasizing robust procedural safeguards to ensure fairness. Under Article 286 of UNCLOS, states parties are obliged to settle disputes through peaceful means, including binding arbitration under Part XV. By ratifying UNCLOS in 1996, China accepted these compulsory procedures. Article 287 permits states to choose a forum, but in the absence of such a choice, arbitration under Annex VII applies—a basis invoked by the Philippines in its 2013 notification. The tribunal confirmed jurisdiction over the Philippines’ submissions, clarifying that China’s objections did not bar it from ruling on maritime entitlements under UNCLOS. UNCLOS provides that non-appearance does not halt proceedings. Instead, it imposes a “special responsibility” on the tribunal to ensure claims are well founded in fact and law. The tribunal discharged this duty by: -Continuously notifying China of developments and sharing transcripts of hearings; -Repeatedly inviting China to participate or submit evidence; -Treating China’s 2014 Position Paper as a formal jurisdictional submission; and -Examining extensive documentary evidence, expert reports, and historical records. The tribunal concluded that China’s absence did not prevent proceedings from going forward, consistent with broader principles of international law, including Article 53 of the ICJ Statute. Article 296 of UNCLOS makes clear that arbitral awards are “final and binding” on the parties concerned. The award binds China and the Philippines and carefully avoided adjudicating sovereignty disputes or third-party rights. China’s policy of “four no’s”—no acceptance, participation, recognition, or implementation—does not alter these legal realities. International law is clear: non-participation is not a veto. Precedent, including the 1999 Southern Bluefin Tuna arbitration, confirms that tribunals proceed even when a party refuses to appear. For China, the path forward lies not in rejecting a treaty it helped shape, but in RECOMMITTING TO UNCLOS. China was a leader during UNCLOS negotiation. China should lead in preserving it for world peace and stability, not in undermining it for selfish and illegal claims.

Chen Weihua: ‘People are waking up to the fact that the Western powers are the real threat to the world, NOT China🇨🇳.’ ‘US soft power is declining fast, Israel is one of the most hated countries in the world. The US global standing is declining. Just look at US allies, those leaders are visiting China. Obviously, they were coerced by the US administration. Many of them were, I would say are puppet states in a certain way. They have been manipulated by Washington for a long time against China, especially in the last few years. But now they are waking up. You have Mark Carney talking about rupture, middle power, and all these things. So the world is changing, obviously. More people are awakening, and they are awakening to the lies those Western nations told for years, repeatedly using their propaganda, smearing China and painting China as a threat to the world. But if you look at what has happened in the world in the last couple of years, it is not China. It is the United States. It is Israel. It is the G7. It is NATO.

Are we hyping the presence of the Chinese floating platform in Bajo de Masinloc? Of course not. We have more than enough basis to say so, because the Chinese government has always been good at lying—especially when it comes to denying its true intentions in the West Philippine Sea. Here is a video of Wang Yi in Manila in 1995, where he claimed that the shelter China built on Panganiban (Mischief) Reef—well within the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone—was for civilian purposes only, and would remain so even in the future. But look at that same reef today: a massive illegal reclamation that is now one of China’s largest military bases in the entire South China Sea. Their claim that they care about the marine environment is just as hollow. They showed no such concern when they bulldozed and buried the reefs and seabed to build their illegal bases across the South China Sea.

Blinken finally said the quiet part out loud: The United States cannot defeat China alone. So his solution is not to outbuild, outproduce, or outcompete China. It is to assemble Europe, Japan, South Korea, India, Canada, and Australia into a larger anti-China bloc—then disguise containment as “alliance coordination.” That is the entire strategy: America alone is no longer strong enough, so Washington wants to weaponize everyone else’s anxieties. But here is the darkest joke. While Blinken dreams of mobilizing the world against China, global opinion is moving in the opposite direction. Pew polling now shows China viewed more positively than the United States across many countries. Even in Europe—America’s traditional alliance base—China’s favorability has risen above America’s. So Washington has a structural problem: It wants to lead an anti-China coalition at the exact moment more of the world trusts China than the country demanding that coalition. Blinken calls this “working with friends.” China calls it what it is: An empire that can no longer win alone asking its clients to supply the missing weight. America’s alliances were supposed to prove its leadership. Now they increasingly reveal its dependence. China is competing with the United States. The United States is recruiting the world to compensate for the fact that it cannot compete with China by itself. Yet the funniest meltdown did not come from American rednecks. It came from overseas Chinese opportunists who built their entire identity around hating China. Blinken merely admitted that America cannot defeat China alone, and they immediately accused him of being “brainwashed” and spreading “Chinese propaganda.” Their problem is not China. Their problem is that China’s rise has destroyed the psychological mechanism they depend on for survival: the belief that America must always stand above China—because without that hierarchy, their entire borrowed identity collapses.
