Japan and South Korea** are now publically on the side of the Philippines. The world is finally taking note of the bully tactics of China.
China has no rights, whatsoever, over the West Philippine Sea. This was already decided in 2016. In 2016, PCA ruled "that China has 'no historical rights' based on the "nine-dash line" map."* The only change over the past 8 years is China's aggression and perfidiousness.
They lie like a cheap Chinese toy with led based paint.
I was in College in April of 1989, and I remember professors telling all of us that China would respond well to the Students' demand for more democracy because the world was watching. Yes, they drive tanks on them and killed them.
That was the Chinese civics lesson 101. Since it is China, it cannot be too shocking that there are no accurate numbers of fatalities from the events of June 1989 at Tiananmen Square. Yes, the world watch people resist Chinese tanks, and die for democratic reforms.
Don't try to be an expert like those professors so long ago.
The situation in the West Philippines Sea will end in an ill advised armed conflict.
Unlike Vietnam, and unlike Korea, no one is afraid of World War Three now.
