What a picture, I must say! Two Japan Coast Guard vessels JCG Muzuki & JCG Nobaru ramming a Chinese Maritime Militia boat whose crew had illegally placed a Chinese flag on Japan's Uotsuri Island! Chinese militia got the treatment they deserve! @MalayaIrredenta @ChongJaIan

Recently, South Korean authorities seized six Chinese fishing boats sailing illegally in the Yellow Sea, inside South Korea's territory! When it comes to giving China what it deserves, the South Koreans are doing it just the right way. @Jay83214566 @DrewPavlou @MalayaIrredenta

In the past, Chinese boats might sit at the edge of Argentina’s exclusive economic zone and switch off their automatic identification systems. Now they brazenly breach Argentina's territorial sovereignty.

Many Chinese boats are illegally registered to sail under the Argentine flag and fish in its waters, while and at the same time, a growing number of Chinese fishing vessels are operating illegally under flags of other countries,

China’s fishing fleet - the world’s biggest - is taking ever larger volumes of Argentina’s resources in a state-sponsored campaign of illegal fishing as stocks become depleted in waters closer to home,

An Argentine Navy Aircraft monitoring hundreds of Chinese fishing boats illegally operating inside Argentina's waters. On any given day, there are more Chinese fishing vessels in Argentina's waters than the local Argentinian fishing boats. @RealTonySLee @supbrow @yeshuaformosa

China is increasingly targeting civilians. China's aggression has clearly breached the Gray Zone threshold.

China does it it again at the Sabina Shoal. Chinese Coast Guard Ships fired water-cannons at Filipino fishing boats, severely injuring several Filipino fishermen & damaging their fishing boats. This is getting uglier! @RommelFLopez @PacStandardTW @informedph2

They regularly infringe on the sovereignty of neighboring states and inflict serious harm on marine environments.

Backed by Chinese state subsidies, tens of thousands of these boats operate as de facto auxiliaries to the Coast Guard and Navy. The crew on these boats is trained by the PLA

Chinese fishing militia vessels are swarming inside Philippines' waters, almost creating a blockade. China is increasingly using its massive fishing fleet as an instrument of pressure against other nations, especially the Philippines. @MalayaIrredenta @CarpioJudge @nthusharon

The subsidised Chinese fishing fleets are now the single biggest threat to the global maritime ecosystem. They also pose threats to the territorial sovereignty & integrity of the Coastal nations.

China's illegal, unethical & highly destructive fishing practices must stop before it's too late. China's bizarre food culture has pushed many many protected species to the verge of each. @supbrow @nthusharon @yeshuaformosa @MalayaIrredenta

Taiwan will impose jail sentences of up to 7 years for intentionally damaging undersea cables critical for country's power supply & communication. intentionally destroying the critical undersea cables has become a part of China's Gray Zone Warfare Playbook! @yeshuaformosa

China's unethical, illegal & extremely destructive fishing methods are ruining global waters.
Scores of dead fish wash ashore on a beach in Argentina as a result of Chinese fishing militia's extreme electrofishing (pulse fishing) method China is destroying marine life all over the world & leaving locals who rely on fishing without any way to make ends meet. @CarpioJudge

Soon after, Chinese state media tried to flip the script. They not just denied the firing of flares, but also accused Philippines of trespassing into Chinese territory. China is behaving like a typical school bully.

A Chinese Navy attack helicopter is harassing Filipino fishermen sailing near the Scarborough Shoal. Scarborough Shoal is over 1000 kilometers from China, located inside Philippines's EEZ. This is outrageous! @poyjampoy @MalayaIrredenta @RommelFLopez @yeshuaformosa

China is writing the narrative it wants future Southeast Asians to inherit by normalizing its presence in the South China Sea. Every quiet push, every new marker, every routine patrol is part of that story.
