China's SCS Strategy Thread

[GulfLander]

"Bloomberg: Philippine leader complained about China during a campaign for his Senate candidates today. He said none of the candidates were applauding China or cheering when their nation’s coast guard vessels were hit by water cannons from Chinese coast guard vessels in the South China Sea. Would the ministry like to comment on Marcos’s remarks?

Guo Jiakun: Let me respond by adapting his sentence: none of the Chinese people would refrain from a lawful and legitimate response, doing nothing when China is hit by infringement and provocation from the Philippines. China opposes exploiting the South China Sea issue for political manipulation."

stating the obvious again, there is no more white worshipping nation than the Philippines. Plus if China was not their target they would glady make war with the other south east asian nations to further imperialism. If there would be a mega Epstein Island in the pacific in the near future it would be there.

"Philippines voices concern over China-Australia air encounter in South China Sea

The Philippine foreign ministry said on Friday it was "concerned" over what it described as "unsafe manoeuvres" and the use of flares by a Chinese air force plane against an Australian Air Force aircraft in the South China Sea.
"All countries are expected to respect freedom of navigation and overflight in and above international sea lines of communication, such as the South China Sea, and to avoid interference in legitimate activities conducted in international waters and airspace," the Department of Foreign Affairs said in a statement."
(Curious if this was an answer to a question or if this is a statement announced?)

From article: "The appearance of a flotilla of Chinese warships in Australian waters just days after a deadly clash involving a surveillance plane has heightened fears over Beijing’s expansionist ambitions.[...]"

(Who died? Wasnt it just flares?)
(Also didnt the spy plane incident occured near CN coast?)

From article: "[...]Australia’s supply lines are long and exposed. And an “adversary could implement military coercion at a distance with threats against our trade and supply routes”.[...]" (Aspi was cited)
(Isnt CN Australia's biggest trade partner, like its export to CN allegedly is bigger than exports to next 9 combined?)

Major change in tone from Singapore's MinDef.

He ended the speech with: "Let me end by asking questions – who, if anyone, any one country or region or bloc, can step in if US declines to protect the global commons and how effective, and against what resistance. "
