@WilliamYang120 Even new batches of F-35 are delivered without radars due to Chinese curbs on rare earths/minerals. In no time, that will extend to THAAD, PAC-3, JASSM..... That is the reality faced by the US military today.
@IsabellaAn67 Even with an enhanced defence budget for 2027, Japan's defence budget would still be 1/6 of China's. Realistically speaking Japan alone (already facing extreme budgetary pressure) will not be able to counter China militarily, while the US retreats back to its homeland.
AMERICAN ANTI-CHINA PSYOPS
1) At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Pentagon launched a secret psyops propaganda to counter what it perceived as China’s growing influence in the Philippines, the Middle East, and the Central Asia.

@JanJekielek CCP knows America well enough that had they not made their militarily strong enough to counter America, they would go down the paths well trodden by the likes of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya. America will crush any challenger to its hegemony at all costs.
Who is really guilty of "Overcapacity"?
The EU accuses China of creating "overcapacity" in the auto industry—producing more cars than the domestic market can absorb, and thus flooding global markets with the surplus.
However, the table below tells a different story. In 2025, Germany, South Korea, and Japan each exported 60–80% of the cars they produced, while China exported only 20%. By the EU’s own definition, Germany, South Korea, and Japan are far more guilty of overcapacity than China.
In effect, the EU is saying: Chinese automakers exporting just 20% of their output constitutes a crime of overcapacity—even though the vast majority of their cars are bought by Chinese citizens. Meanwhile, a German or Korean automaker exporting 80% of its production is considered perfectly acceptable, even though their domestic populations can barely absorb the remaining 20%.
@IsabellaAn67 You have a point. And according to Gemini, the Philippines does not have sovereignty claims over SCS features like Scarborough Shoal and Second Thomas Schoal, to which disputes exist between PH and China.

@CollinSLKoh Racism has no place in this world. You are right to call out all those who depicted another race as uncivilized savages in a human zoo.

At the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, nearly 1,200 Filipinos were placed on display in a massive 47-acre "human zoo" viewed by nearly 20 million White Americans.
The U.S. government used this exhibit to portray indigenous groups like the Igorot as "savages", providing a racist justification for the American colonization and subjugation of the Philippines.
Captives were forced to perform daily dog-eating rituals and stage mock traditional ceremonies for crowds, even though these practices were misrepresented or rare in actual culture.
Political Purpose:
• Designed to contrast "uncivilized" tribes with Westernized groups to shape public opinion.
• Created a "white savior" narrative that argued the U.S. needed to govern and civilize the newly acquired Philippine colony.
• Promoted notions of racial hierarchy and white superiority to justify imperial conquest.

@CollinSLKoh You should know better—this isn't really about regional littoral countries. That survey work is all about mapping the terrain so China can eventually send in manned and unmanned subs to flush out the US submarine fleet hiding in those deep waters.
@IsabellaAn67 Interesting that similar flare ups happen whenever there is an international forum or meeting involving ASEAN and China. Guess who wants to rupture ties between ASEAN and China?

@CollinSLKoh The timing of this incident on the eve of the ASEAN meet with Rubio & Wang Yi tells us that it was engineered to give talking points to Manila & Washington to magnify their so-called "China belligerence" in SCS.
@CollinSLKoh This Singapore CNA clip shows that the Filipinos instigated the melee by charging their dinghy at high speed toward the CCG boat and waving menacingly at the CCG guys with rods and axes. Not once but twice.

@CollinSLKoh According to Grok, PH has no claims on sovereignty over Huangyan Dao (Scarborough Shoal) . Under UNCLOS, sovereignty over land is a prerequisite to EEZ.
