This building by the Chinese company Country Garden in Jiangsu Nantong looks truly built with tofu. It’s so fragile, even a toddler could knock it down. You couldn’t pay me to live in this disaster. 1/4 @GundamNorthrop @HKokbore @Jay83214566 @NoCCPGenocide

China doesn’t want that. And even if it did, its brittle, tofu-dreg navy wouldn’t guarantee victory. So instead, it hides behind propaganda, trying to warmonger and intimidate Filipinos online like the little pinks they are.

The answer is simple: China won’t reclaim Scarborough Shoal. It knows that doing so would trigger overwhelming condemnation- not just from regional players, but from international institutions. It would escalate the gray zone into open conflict.

If China truly had full control over the waters around Scarborough, why hasn’t it started building? Why not now, especially after its own navy embarrassed itself? If it’s so confident, this was the perfect moment to act. But they haven’t. Why?.

China has been illegally occupying Scarborough Shoal since 2012, over a decade now. During this decade, it reclaimed and militarized several reefs. But why not here? Because Beijing knows that any attempt to do so would provoke serious backlash.
Huangyan island, South China Sea(Scarborough Shoal) planned land reclamation. China has total control of waters surrounding Huangyan island, we can start the process at anytime. Once complete, we will have a crucial military fortress 300km away from the mouth of the Manila Bay.

Taiwan must exist, not just for itself, but as proof that a free, democratic, Chinese society is possible. It's the better version of what China could be.
『「要與中國不同，前提是台灣要能存在。」中國對你的價值觀沒有興趣，它的目標是讓你沒有選擇價值觀的權利。不管你多進步、多多元、多自由，如果台灣失去自主權，這些都會被改寫成「符合中國標準」的樣子。』.

Here’s the real question: how far is China willing to go to enforce claims no court recognizes? Because in doing so, it's not just risking a standoff with Philippines, it's accelerating a region-wide shift toward collective deterrence & military readiness.

Idea that the Philippines will fold like a weak actor is pure coping. Despite ramming, lasers, water cannons &blockades, Filipino vessels keep returning to Scarborough Shoal. The costs haven’t broken resolve but strengthened it.

“Make them feel pain” is not a strategy; it’s a threat. But to what end? Since China escalated pressure, Manila hasn’t backed down. It’s expanded military ties with US, Japan, Australia & Europe. So who’s isolating whom?.

Claim that Philippines “offends China & gets forgiven” ignores basic facts: Why is asserting sovereign rights in your own EEZ considered an offense? And what exactly is China “forgiving”? Noncompliance with its illegal 9-dash line?.
The idea of the Philippines is that they believe offending China is not a big deal, even if there is some temporary loss, as long as they say some soft words later and lower the posture, China will forgive them. In fact, the example of India is there. People had seen that

And this isn’t the first time. They almost crashed into each other twice trying to outsmart a much smaller Filipino vessel. This is the “world-class” navy Beijing brags about? It’s just a circus at sea, and they’re the clowns.

It’s like a reckless game of “who can ram the tiny Philippine patrol boat first,” with China’s Navy and Coast Guard fighting over the honor. If the destroyer had hit BRP Suluan, it would’ve been a disaster of their own making, stopped by classic Chinese blunder.

Here’s a clear look at how incompetent the PLA Navy really is- Chinese Navy 164 deliberately cuts off their own Coast Guard 3104, causing a crash near Scarborough Shoal. Imagine that: your own forces crashing into each other while “asserting” dominance.

Say NO to the mega embassy. We can’t let Beijing build a fortress of fear and surveillance in the heart of London. We can't just let it go as a mere building. It’s a threat to freedom, to human rights, and to all of us. Time to stand up and make our voices heard. 4/4.

The UK government knows this, which is why there’s been pushback, but it keeps moving forward. This isn’t some random guess or generalization. China has a long history of using its embassies to control and intimidate. 3/4.

The proposed embassy at Royal Mint Court would be the biggest they’ve ever had in Europe. It’s meant to be a center for spying and watching people, especially Chinese dissidents living abroad. 2/4.

The CCP is at the center of every mess in the Indo-Pacific right now. It is modern-day imperialism enslaving Chinese people and trying to expand the slavery model to the entire world. That's why we need to resist the Chinese mega embassy in London. 1/4
Parts of plans for China’s mega-embassy in London have been completely redacted- several rooms & entire basement hidden “for security reasons.” . We’ve been warning about this for ages. Now we have proof. Will they really let this spy hub go ahead? @lukedepulford @NoCCPGenocide

This is how the CCP sees its own people. When children of high-ranking officials mess up, they spend 20 minutes behind bars and then they’re out. Meanwhile, anyone speaking out against injustice is treated like a worthless animal.

Let’s be clear: the only country destabilizing the South China Sea is China. Harassing Filipino resupply missions. Blocking research exploration. Ignoring UNCLOS rulings. Swarming the region with coast guard and militia vessels. That’s not "dialogue.".

China says foreign military cooperation "shouldn't target third parties.". But who built illegal artificial islands?.Who militarized them?.Who rams and water-cannons civilian vessels in other nations’ EEZs?. The hypocrisy is off the charts.
