Good job 🇨🇳China Coast Guard and 🇨🇳People's Liberation Army Navy for being fools for chasing a Philippine Coast Guard ship inside Philippines EEZ with poor seamanship and coordination between these Chinese ships resulting to damage to both CNS Guilin and CCG3104. 📷PTV News

In 1989, Chinese archeologists found ruins & artifacts in Hainan Island originating from Kingdom of Tondo. Historical Chinese & Tondo in Hainan saying Hainan Island is owned by Tondo. With this, Hainan Island is actually a 🇵🇭Philippine territory, and should be returned back.

🇨🇳China has been calling for the 🇵🇭Philippines to remove the 🇺🇲US Typhon mid range missile system. But Pres. Marcos has a simple counter - if China can remove its ships from the Philippine EEZ and stop its illegal & coercive actions, then he will remove Typhon. 1/2

Communist China never won against Imperial Japan. It was actually the Republic of China, the same government now in Taiwan who won w/ the help of Allied Forces. Communist China was never represented in any formal surrender. So what is the CCP's basis of their celebration today?

Japan is expected to formally offer some of its Type 74 tanks to the Philippines soon, with the Philippine Army expected to accept several units which it will use for shore defense, fire support, and training for armor and combined arms operations. 1/

It was confirmed by the PCG that, through the invitation of the Philippines, the US Coast Guard will start deploying its ships in the West Philippine Sea to assist the Philippines. Surely China will not be happy with this. But this is just a reaction to China's aggression.

The simplest way for China to end trouble in its maritime neighborhood: China should stop making illegal claims, bring back its ships to its own 200nmi EEZ and stay away from other country's EEZ and waters. Not only will there be peace, but China will also have more friends.

The CCG thought they destroyed all cameras & phones of the PN personnel they attacked. But it appears that there are evidences proving China's aggression and debunking China's narratives. 3 CCG boats harass the PN boat. Video shows which is conducting aggressive maneovers. 📽AFP

Only fools will believe that a small rickety wooden boat will "dangerously approach" a large steel ship that is obviously trying to stop it from reaching its destination. Chinese propaganda always assumes that international readers are as foolish as its own citizens.

China Coast Guard STEALING air-dropped provisions for the Filipino troops aboard BRP Sierra Madre. Just goes to show how cheap the Chinese are even when their country already became rich. Shows that money can't buy manners and class.

Info from unexpected source said 🇵🇭 DND is highly likely to get 40 new F-16 Block 70s partly financed by US FMF, while also getting several used F-16s as gap filler/preparatory units. PAF may end up forming another fighter wing on top of existing 5th FW.
