Long weary of such comparisons as "Sulu Sea = New Somalia" or "Ukraine = Taiwan" I partnered with my friends at RSIS Thomas Lim and Eric Ang to pen a new piece addressing the narrative comparing Straits of Malacca to Hormuz. Your critique most welcome.🙏🏽👇🏽

Commentary: Comparing the Straits of Malacca and Singapore to Hormuz is a fallacy
Comparing the Strait of Hormuz with the Straits of Malacca and Singapore is like comparing apples and oranges, say Collin Koh, Thomas Lim and Eric Ang from the S Rajaratnam School of International...

Hilarious. The burglar who broke into somebody's front lawn accuses the owner who came out to confront him for "provocations", and then yelled at the owner to return to his house and mind his own business. 🙃

During a recent law enforcement action in the waters of Ren'ai Jiao, the China Coast Guard (CCG) faced provocations from personnel aboard a Philippine warship illegally grounded there. In response, the CCG solemnly replied: "This is China! Go back to the Philippines!"

In 2016, the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague ruled that China’s “nine-dash line” has no legal basis, confirming the waters around the Spratly Islands, including Second Thomas Shoal or Ayungin Shoal, are within the Philippines’ Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). pca-cpa.org/en/cases/7/

With the available imagery and video evidence, it's advisable for Beijing to stop lying and misleading the world on what happened in the South China Sea.

I've been keeping track of this story because of my interest in malign influence and sleeper agent threat in the region, as part of a broader research on SCS geopolitics. This latest revelation sends a chill down the spine.

I saw pictures of Koreans eating gimbap with their hands, and Japanese eating sushi with their hands. Now I share this one picture of Chinese eating traditional rice dumplings （粽子） to further demonstrate how biased your post is towards Southeast Asians.

Koreans, Japanese, and Chinese don't eat rice with our hands. It's only SE Asians.

And CCG insists it was the Filipinos who rammed them. This video evidence shows otherwise.

That's besides the point, the issue is that Manila doesn't need Beijing's permission to exercise its legitimate EEZ sovereign rights, be it humanitarian supply, or sending in construction materials. And nothing beats CCG brandishing bladed weapons and puncturing rubber boats. 🤷🏽‍♂️

The Philippines' supply mission this time wasn’t about humanitarian supply at all. Instead, it contained building materials and weapons. In addition, Philippine vessels intentionally rammed Chinese ships, and Philippine personnel splashed water and threw objects at Chinese law

A net security provider shows its mettle with air force-navy integration in a real-life security contingency. It way beats somebody else who only loves to publish flashy, propaganda-laced videos.

Honestly Manila doesn’t need Beijing’s goodwill arrangement because it can legitimately exercise Philippine EEZ sovereign rights in the area per UNCLOS. Perhaps Beijing should stop abusing Manila’s goodwill to PRC fishers.

#FMsays Manila must not abuse Beijing's goodwill arrangement that allows activities of small Filipino fishing boats near the waters of Huangyan Island, FM spokesman Wang Wenbin said after about 100 small fishing boats, led by Filipino activists, sailed to the waters on Wednesday.

Without the video evidence, we could never have figured out how potentially hazardous the flare popping was to the Filipino aircraft.

It’s the Filipino restraint that has ensured calm all this while. And this calm remains tenuous at best because of Beijing’s continued coercive behavior.

Every escalation between China and the Philippines—without exception—has been caused by Philippine provocations and violation of China’s sovereignty. Calm will return once the Philippines stops those activities.

He gave the Philippines probably the most crucial legal weapon to counter Beijing's claims in the SCS. And notwithstanding their ambivalence during the arbitral process, it can also be said that other SE Asian SCS parties gain from this 2016 award, practically for doing nothing.

Benigno Simeon Aquino III, colloquially known as PNoy, was the 15th President of the Philippines from 2010 to 2016. One of the achievements under his administration was the Permanent Court of Arbitration ruling in favor of the Philippines, invalidating China's nine-dash line

Not sure where the propagandist’s confidence comes from when not only most of the aircraft but most importantly all its critical systems are not even indigenized by PRC. 🙃
