I've got some hot takes.

[FlintlockXoxo @Flintlockxoxo]

@ChinaDaily What's really happening at the Philippine EEZ:

[FlintlockXoxo @Flintlockxoxo]

@icloudriver You're confusing sovereignty (territorial waters) and sovereign rights (EEZ), both of which China doesn't have with Scarborough Shoal.

China is in control of it now thanks to its illegal occupation AKA imperialism.

[FlintlockXoxo @Flintlockxoxo]

@ZhouHeng61916 @bill_hayton Oh BTW, this the type of cooperation that happened between the PRoC and the Duterte Administration, legalising online gambling in the Philippines. 🤑

[FlintlockXoxo @Flintlockxoxo]

@ZhouHeng61916 @bill_hayton It still doesn't erase the fact that you spewed misinformation to paint China and the Duterte Administration in a good light.

You can't even acknowledge this simple statement that you've said:

"why were there disputes but no maritime conflicts during Duterte's era?"

[FlintlockXoxo @Flintlockxoxo]

@alphatweetz8 @PhilDefOSINT Yup. Give it up, don't protect the Philippine sovereignty and be a vassal of China.

Am I right? @alphatweetz8

[FlintlockXoxo @Flintlockxoxo]

@MonteroMax Asking for ASEAN's support is a dumb move to begin with. When most of them already made up their made to appease the Dragon than standing up for their rights under UNCLOS.

[FlintlockXoxo @Flintlockxoxo]

@alphatweetz8 @graham_euan Yes, during the Korean War.

Fighting and dying for your country is a noble thing to do. If you want to submit to China, you are free to do so, but don't force us to be a vassal like you.

[FlintlockXoxo @Flintlockxoxo]

@johny_sense @MonteroMax UAV/UCAVs are not a 'silver bullet' that can magically solve our needs.

Even the Ukrainians appreciated the value of 105mm howitzers given to them even though they have vast quantities of different type of UCAVs.

[FlintlockXoxo @Flintlockxoxo]

@alphatweetz8 @graham_euan So in your mind, it's better to submit to an imperialist than fight for your sovereignty.

Good thing that not you're not a part of a country's foreign affairs department.

[FlintlockXoxo @Flintlockxoxo]

@mitsucolt5566 @LTYokota Well... China's biggest trading partner is the USA and who is in charge? And the Chinese Comunist Party have huge trade with the USA. Guess the Xi regime is pro USA too.

[FlintlockXoxo @Flintlockxoxo]

@YRanaraja @bill_hayton @XuXudake Well, he could've shown his arguments at the right venue in the first place to finally silence the naysayers of Chinese imperialisism in the South China Sea.

Shame he's not allowed by the Politburo. 🙁

[FlintlockXoxo @Flintlockxoxo]

@zhouk0523 @Simon101911 @biancadava Oh by the way, we're already aware about your greediness in claiming parts of Luzon, just like what Imperial Japan did during Dec. 8, 1941

[FlintlockXoxo @Flintlockxoxo]

@zhouk0523 @Simon101911 @biancadava Which one? The one OUTSIDE China's territorial sea and EEZ?

TFW, Taiwan has more countries recognising it as a country than China's imperialisism in the South China Sea AKA '9 Dash Line'. 🤭

[FlintlockXoxo @Flintlockxoxo]

@ZhouHeng61916 @bill_hayton Wait, so a Philippine Coast Guard Ship sailing INSIDE the Philippine EEZ is now a provocative move?

[FlintlockXoxo @Flintlockxoxo]

@icloudriver @bill_hayton Yeah, read that document again.

ICYMI, Scarborough Shoal is outside the Philippine 12NM territorial sea, but WITHIN the Philippine 200NM Exclusive Economic Zone.

[FlintlockXoxo @Flintlockxoxo]

@ZhouHeng61916 @bill_hayton So basically, Imperialisism is the answer. Got it.

[FlintlockXoxo @Flintlockxoxo]

@lhsingapura Heck, including non-claimant ASEAN countries in the negotiations for a 'Code of Conduct' with China is the dumbest move.

[FlintlockXoxo @Flintlockxoxo]

@lhsingapura Asking ASEAN's support is dumb to begin with.

Remember how many times different ASEAN members stalled the "Code of Conduct in the South China Sea" that benefited China more than ASEAN?

🇵🇭 should focus more on beefing up it CG and unconventional warfare capabilities instead

[FlintlockXoxo @Flintlockxoxo]

It is proven many times before that ASEAN is nothing but an economic forum among South East Asian countries.

So, stop dragging them and asking for their support when they obviously made their decision years ago to appease China than protecting their EEZ against it.

WATCH: In his keynote address at the 37th USPACOM International Military Law and Operations Security Engagement (MILOPS) Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. urged the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to view the Philippines’ defense of the 2016 South China Sea Arbitral Award as a regional interest, saying the ruling benefits not only the Philippines but other countries across Southeast Asia. @ABSCBNNews

[FlintlockXoxo @Flintlockxoxo]

@Simon101911 @biancadava Like how China seized Scarborough Shoal from Philippine control way back in 2011?
