China has never been a country that takes other people’s land.
Not in 1962 with India, not in 1979 with Vietnam, China fights, pushes back, and leaves. Because defending your borders is not expansionism.
But the moment China protects its own waters, a former U.S. colony like the Philippines suddenly performs the “weak victim” routine to justify endless provocations.
It’s the same colonial script every time:
I am weak → therefore I am right → I provoke → I rely on the United States to back me up → then I pretend to be pitiful again
If China were the aggressive power they fantasize about, the Philippines wouldn’t be “challenging China,” it would be negotiating its survival.
China is not the empire in this story.
The empire is behind Manila,
teaching it how to bark.
Iran striking Tel Aviv tonight..
These are images Israel does not want us to see.
Those bringing them to us are doing so with extreme risk will be thrown in prison if caught.
Give it up for resistance journalism! 👊🏾
