China, Getting Down to the Business of War By James Reed
With Trump gone from a stolen election, and a senile president, China is on the move, the latest being sending 200 vessels to a disputed reef claimed by the Philippines. With Beijing Biden the puppet pseudo-president, useless, it may well require all south East Asian nations joining together against such bully tactics, much like towns folk in the old days would unite against outlaws, or how in the near future, the good guys will have to unite against the warlords.
“The Philippines’ defence chief has demanded more than 200 Chinese vessels he said were manned by militias leave a South China Sea reef claimed by Manila, saying their presence was a “provocative action of militarising the area.”
“We call on the Chinese to stop this incursion and immediately recall these boats violating our maritime rights and encroaching into our sovereign territory,” defence secretary Delfin Lorenzana said in a statement on Sunday, adding without elaborating that the Philippines would uphold its sovereign rights.
A government watchdog overseeing the disputed region said about 220 Chinese vessels were seen moored at Whitsun reef, which Beijing also claims, on 7 March. It released pictures of the vessels side by side in one of the most contested areas of the strategic waterway.
The foreign secretary, Teodoro Locsin, said late on Sunday that the Philippines has filed a diplomatic protest over the Chinese presence.
The reef, which Manila calls Julian Felipe, is a boomerang-shaped, shallow coral region about 175 nautical miles (324km) west of Bataraza town in the western Philippine province of Palawan. It is well within the country’s exclusive economic zone, over which the Philippines “enjoys the exclusive right to exploit or conserve any resources”, the government watchdog said.
The large numbers of Chinese boats are “a concern due to the possible overfishing and destruction of the marine environment, as well as risks to safety of navigation”, it said, although it added that the vessels were not fishing when sighted.”
We are entering the endgame of Western civilisation, and we need get prepared for events that will tax our souls. Start with daily prayer and getting yourself right with God. I think that spiritual salvation could be our only hope, our governments are too weak.
