They are crying after an Egyptian police man shot dead three Israeli soldiers before being killed himself but partying when killing Arabs on a daily basis. Israël is just the newest (20st century) hyperagressive European settler state in the same mold as USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand although still one in the process of diluting the influence and numbers of natives to a mere 1% of the population.
Bangladesh, supposedly within the region of Ahkand Bharat can receive free healthcare from a PLAN Hospital Ship. While India, the supposed leader of Akhand Bharat could not spare medical aid to Bangladesh, unless if its to "counter China".
So in the epic struggle between Akhand Bharat and Wumaos in India's neighbourhood, no wonder the Wumaos are winning.
Its for SCMP to sling whatever mud at China when there is no more mud left to sling. This is why I still despise SCMP, despite their more nuanced position on China compared to the Western MSM. I know some people in this forum are ok with SCMP. But I personally, have a special hate for them. I have not forgiven SCMP during the dark days of the 2019 HK riots. Watching SCMP then was like watching the BBC with some HK-Chinese dissident flavor. Disgusting. Back then, even George Soros was a regular contributor of SCMP too. I know SCMP has Yonden Lhatoo, whom I'm somewhat ok with, but he is more of the exception than the norm. Still, even he had a soft spot for Tibetan separatists.

Interesting that this happens when Shangri La Dialogue is on. I wonder if the transit would have happened if Li had agreed a meeting with Austin:
The 052DL certainly did deliberately accelerate and then cut in front of the Burke. USS Chung-Hoon radioed the 052DL telling it to move and was told in return "move or there will be a collision".
In the end USS Chung-Hoon decelerated and swiveled to avoid a collusion.
Rousing game of chicken as customary in Western Pacific, if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen. This sort of thing actually happens every time USN ship transit the strait. It's just normally no one hear about it but this time Canadians were around to film it and they weren't accustom to how things are done in this corner of the world.
I'm surprised that they are doing this with an 052DL instead of one of the older out-dated destroyers still in the PLAN.
I am not surprised for several reasons
1- The 052DL is an overmatch against Burke in such an encounter. It has substantial anti-shipping capacity in the form of VLS-launched YJ-18s and can defend itself with a high probability of success. Sending a 052DL means the US ship likely won't fire.
2- It is the most common destroyer of the PLAN and is also the youngest along with the 055. PLAN has far more 052D(L) class destroyers available compared to all other types in all conditions. A navy sends what's available in the region.
