If your data and claims can't stand up to basic scrutiny, don't spread half-truths and misinformation. Resorting to calling a legitimate UNCLOS ruling a "toilet paper roll Award" and blocking people the second they point out the facts doesn't make your argument any truer!
@muslimwife1992 Frustrated or afraid of a post that accidentally debunked its own premise? Not even close it is just too entertaining to watch someone blame the translation the followers and the commenter all at once instead of just owning the claim.
@muslimwife1992 Ah, the classic 'it was meant for a closed audience' defense on a completely public platform! If the translation holds up, it should hold up for anyone reading it. But if it crumbles under basic scrutiny, just say that.
@muslimwife1992 Threatening a block because you got caught red-handed backpedaling on your own screenshots? Classic. If you can't take getting your claims dismantled, maybe don't post them in a public thread!
@muslimwife1992 "I'm just translating a historian!" is the internet equivalent of "I was only holding it for a friend." You weaponized the screenshot to make your point, and the second it completely imploded, you started screaming about "bitching."
@muslimwife1992 Quoting a tribute mission to dodge your own previous claim doesn't erase it. Trade envoys and merchant interactions are proof of commercial exchange between independent polities, not imperial administration.
@muslimwife1992 Your own post cited an alleged imperial appointment of a "Governor of Luzon" granted "supreme military and political power" under a Ming Dynasty local chieftainship policy. If appointing a governor with military authority isn't claiming rule, then words have no meaning.
@muslimwife1992 not administrative rule. The Ming dynasty never appointed a governor, established a province, or held sovereign territory in Luzon. Trying to dress up ancient merchant diaspora ties as territorial ownership is a massive historical stretch.
@muslimwife1992 Telling me to "read what I posted" doesn't change the fact that you are confusing a medieval merchant trade network with an imperial annexation. Citing a local family tombstone inscription or a standard trade delegation under the tributary system proves commercial exchange, ...
@muslimwife1992 Furthermore, invoking early 20th-century anthropologists like H. Otley Beyer to claim ancient Chinese political sovereignty over the Philippines misrepresents their historical and anthropological work, which documented migration and trade routes, not imperial annexations.
@muslimwife1992 While Chinese merchant diaspora communities brought trade goods, craftsmanship, and cultural practices to Southeast Asian ports, these were commercial and cultural exchanges, not state administration.
@muslimwife1992 Legally, the ruling permanently invalidated China’s historic "nine-dash line" claims and established that Ayungin Shoal lies entirely within the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone (EEZ). Enforcement in international relations happens through diplomatic pressure, ...
