Keep in mind. Trump hasn’t been convicted or charged for insurrection but Colorado has removed him for insurrection. California is looking for options to go down the same route as Colorado.
America is turning into a third world country before our very eyes.

Chinese and Vietnamese coast guards held a high-level working meeting in Dec 4-8. Vietnamese Coast Guard vessel 8002 visited Guangzhou. It's one of their more modern vessels. Hopefully this thaw between China and Vietnam can last, and developed further.

Obviously, this inconvenient truth will never be reported by the anti-China media.
Bro it's a template for an eventual inception of COC in SCS, the Philippines are stupid instead of gaining the first mover advantage we gain nothing, like the arbitration ruling, Vietnam gain the most while we foot the bill, it's crazy and a traitorous act.

Apparently it was the 052D destroyer 118 Urumqi that turned them down. Should've thought about that when they supported the Xinjiang genocide narrative ey?

Funny how either China is an imperialist power hellbent on submiting everybody to their will or it isn't really a superpower because it didn't go out of its way to sort a mess than isn't theirs, according to twitter pundits

Up to six, count em six!
Defence Minister Richard Marles confirmed on Thursday the government would not deploy a warship and would instead send navy personnel.

Up to six extra Australian Defence Force officers will be deployed to the Combined Maritime Forces (CMF) in Bahrain early in 2024, with five personnel already embedded in the CMF headquarters for Operation Manitou, which supports international maritime security efforts in the Middle East and East Africa.

This will bring Australia’s total CMF contribution to 16 personnel.
Clever buggers, staying well clear of this mess.

That's right bro. The Philippines adopted the zero sum game mentality of it's colonial master. No sharing, just a winner takes all mentality. The PH has insufficient national power to do it against fellow SEA nations, let alone China. But one dose of that American Kool-Aid, and the PH can suddenly confront everyone. Be it Malaysia, or China.

I recall that the PH was supposed to conduct co-exploration of O&G in the SCS with China under Duterte. But Bong Bong Marcos tore up that deal and wanted to do it unilaterally. The Western media would like to have us think that Co-exploration of O&G in the SCS is impossible. No it's not, it has been done before for many years. Malaysia and Thailand did it over an area of overlapping EEZs near the Gulf of Thailand. By following the American way, the PH gets nothing except some Jai PH, and more aggressive bullying from China.

Fishermen wars are common in the SCS. It's even common around the world. Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam regularly clash over fishing waters. But when it comes to the PH wrt China, it becomes a diplomatic and national defence issue. The PH is behaving more like that Jai Hind nation than a mature one.

Deals can always be made with China, but the PH and BBM just have too much ego for it. So the PH will have to be made an example for stupid diplomacy.

Bro the agreement will be sign during his state visit to China, all the necessary documents is done including the joint oil exploration deal, then a day before his departure there is news of some investigation about his family illegal wealth. The rest is history as China was taken aback by Marcos indecisiveness, they were right about being cautious, after his visit China, the Chinese defer new loan and canceled their previous aid and investment commitment. They have seen his true character and wasn't impressed.

So why take the risk? There is another country that offer a better return of investment and good will which is Indonesia.
