Philippine warship in stand-off with China vessels

[Audio]

Must be that time of the month for Sinochallenger and he got all emotional again.

 

[GR!FF!N]

Turkestan is not a part of China and Uyghers aren't Chinese.

now who's gonna tell this to our Chinese friends...

by the way...can you confirm that it is a conspiracy theory or a fact??

Guys, lets keep the FLAMES and TROLLINGS OFF this thread, we already have many threads for those in the World Affairs forum.

And don't bring India, Pakistan, South Korea into this.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So far, we have fishermens, Phillipines largest warship and two Chinese surveillance vessels at the scene.

No one have fired yet and most likely waiting for signals from their own government.

Both side wanted to resolve this peacefully but at an impasse because both see the area as a fully integrated part of their land.

So, we have to wait and see how they will resolve this. It will be interesting for sure.

Given the above variables, what do you guys think of the possible steps can be taken by both countries and what likely outcomes?


Now that China and Philippine both have side that area is an part of their sovereignty so it will be very hard for them to back off from it. Philippine have to arrest those fishermen. But China can't allow the Philippine navy to do it because that would allow another country violate China's sovereignty. Both side have to be very creative to solve this peacefully.

I think this was a 'good' thing that happened though. In the end, both side will, one way or another, have to setup/come to a concrete steps/solutions for this never ending SCS disputes.

There were indeed tragic deaths resulting from nuclear testing. It is not a conspiracy theory.

They didn't occur in China.

Unethical human experimentation in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In 1957, atmospheric nuclear explosions in Nevada, which were part of Operation Plumbbob were later determined to have released enough radiation to have caused from 11,000 to 212,000 excess cases of thyroid cancer amongst U.S. citizens who were exposed to fallout from the explosions, leading to between 1,100 and 21,000 deaths.[75]

Hasn't the Philippines sent a coast guard boat and withdraw the naval ship to tone down the incident? China should never back down on this, otherwise these little midgets will laugh at us as paper tiger.

These Southeast Asian nations always use the excuse of "Chinese aggression" to cover their own incompetence of fixing their economy.

They have done nothing to fix their economy, except blaming and bringing China into every context.

Anyone realized what actually has happened?

Philippines were trying to flex muscles sending their largest military vessel their flagship against 10 merely civilian Chinese fishing vessels in Chinese waters. Their mission was to harass the Chinese fishermen. Clearly an attempt to "show China the way" and act strong.

They failed! But why?

2! Two civilian surveillance ships brave enough to protect the fishing vessels against the harassment. They had no fear for a stand off with possibly the strongest weaponry in the Philippine navy.

Thats it! All the Philippines could hope for was to bully some untrained scared civilian fishermen. But they didn't dare to lay a finger even just trained but still unarmed personnel.

This was a greatly embarrassing event. They acted inappropriate. They where the aggressors. They intended to bully civilians with great military force. They intended to show off. But they failed already against Chinese civilian order. Not even a display of Chinese military force was necessary.

man china bullying small country so badly.. I will say china has any guts only if it dares to do this with Japan or Korea. China can do that with only Phillipines. pathetic.

cant act like this against japan or korea, but only against phillipine!! like a bully would. harass the weak n bow down in front of powerful

 

[timetravel]

china is such a bully. If phillipines sent more navy forces or used power to arrest them then China would say its war and send its navy to intervene and bully phillipines. That is why they could not arrest those chinese fisherman. Clearly CHina is the biggest bully.

Try to do this simple civilian act with Japan and Korea. then u will know what it means to first enter someone's else water and then also not allowing them to perform their right of arresting the culprits. Japan and Korea will arrest chinese fisherman everytime they enter their water. No chinese surveillance ship can do antics like these in that case. Such bullying works only against phillipines.

what has happened is that China has confirmed two things:

1) it can bully only small countries.
2) it has no peaceful intentions but intends to use force to enforce its claims on ASEAN countries.
