THIS IS THE PATTERN THE WORLD MUST NOT IGNORE.
China does not need to fire the first shot to change the situation on the ground.
Pressure. Harassment. Intimidation. Incremental moves. Repeated violations.
Push a little. Normalize it. Push again. Make the abnormal look ordinary—all while staying below the threshold of open war.
That is why the world must stay ALERT. DISCERNING. AWAKE.
Because the danger is not always a missile or a declaration of war.
Sometimes, it is the slow normalization of coercion—until everyone is expected to accept what should never have been accepted in the first place.
From the Philippines to Taiwan, Japan, India, and other parts of the Indo-Pacific, governments are increasingly confronting or responding to different forms of Chinese pressure.
China may call it “normal.”
China may call it “lawful.”
China may call everyone else the provocateur.
But repeating a narrative does not erase observable actions.
The world must look beyond the words.
Look at the pattern.
Look at the conduct.
And discern what is happening before “normal” becomes the new excuse.
NO WAR DOES NOT MEAN NO CONFLICT.
NO SHOTS FIRED DOES NOT MEAN NO AGGRESSION.
THE WORLD IS WATCHING.
THE WORLD MUST DISCERN.
AND THE WORLD MUST NOT BE CONDITIONED TO ACCEPT COERCION AS NORMAL.

Shinjiro Koizumi san, no one cares about what China, North Korea and Russia have to say about militarism. These three are authoritarian regimes run by three “never stepping down” dictators. All of them are currently involved in at least one war while assisting in others. Russia is attacking Ukraine. North Korea is helping Russia attack Ukraine while testing its nuclear weapons. China has declared the possibility of a military takeover of Taiwan. The rest of the world has common sense. Protecting yourself from authoritarian regimes is common sense. The rest of the world stands with Japan.
@jesusfalcis (2/2) Ang basis nila ay galing sa SEC, AMLC, at official records wala binanggit tungkol sa website na yan. Para sa akin, trap o gawa lang ng mga DDS para palabising "fake" yung claims
@jesusfalcis (1/3) Pero, hindi ginamit ni Trillanes at senate impeachement iyang website at link to the CN embassy bilang ebidensya o basehan ng kanilang narrative or fact-finding
Japan’s Defense Minister: North Korea has doubled its missile launches towards Japan this year. Japan has fired zero.
Japan has no nukes and no strategic bombers, yet the China calls them "militarist", while stockpiling nukes
The utter hypocrisy of this regime is pathetic
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
It’s in CCP’s DNA to brainwash and cheat their way in.
Mao cheated Chinese people to support him for a New Democratic China (民主新中国)that not only didn’t come but also mere mention of it now is a taboo (remind you those political prisoners in Hong Kong for just to commemorate the #June4, the pro-democracy movement that was brutally cracked down in June 1989).
CCP cheated the America leadership to grand them entry to WTO and Most Favored Nation status for their false promises of opening up the country economically and politically.
It’s a Soviet-Fucked-and-Made DNA that’s very different from the authentic Chinese one that is mostly preserved in #Taiwan and other Chinese communities like in Singapore and Malaysia.
I grew up in China and used to believe their stories. But when you’re in a place free to read about everything and anything, you can distill truths from lies yourself.
A truth holder won’t be afraid of its people to read freely and learn the truth.
A government that has to have a gigantic and wasteful Internet firewall to filter the information traffic is a government of cowards and cheaters.
That’s the truth none should miss.
2 Oct, the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, is the International Day of Non-Violence.
In this time of rising division and conflict, Gandhi’s lessons speak to us with renewed urgency.

The bite marks left by Chinese judoka Tang Jing 🇨🇳on Japan’s Rin Maeda 🇯🇵
Despite the shocking incident, Maeda went on to win the Asian Games Gold Medal! 🥇
Tang Jing was disqualified after the incident.
Such conduct should have consequences. Actions need to be taken!!!!
@indaylustayy What do you expect from DDS regime that enabled POGOs, scam hubs, DDS news/vloggers? It's all powered by bots and troll farms for fake engagement, following the exact model of the CCP's state-run propaganda network
