Associated Press Philippine defense chief in verbal tussle with China on reef JIM GOMEZ Sat, April 3, 2021, 8:10 AM MANILA, Philippines (AP) — An annoyed Philippine defense chief renewed a demand on Saturday for dozens of Chinese vessels to leave a Manila-claimed reef in the South China Sea, and said he would not be fooled by Chinese assertions that the vessels were taking shelter from bad weather.
The Chinese Embassy shot back at what it called a “perplexing statement” by Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana and insisted that the vessels had the right to take shelter in what it said was Chinese territory.

VERBAL TUSSLE?
China’s response — OOOOOH, we’re so scared. And how many battalions do you have little one?
Let’s say there’s another Tianamen Square. The Uiyigers revolt and so do the Tibetans. Would they crush they’re internals or strike Taiwan knowing they could lose everything otherwise? Will Pakistan help them? Lotsa luck. There’s a billion + cocoas. It’s saving face to them. The Argentine Generals did it to the Falklands and an internal revolt in the Soviet union was the biggest threat to Europe not NATO.
Reef-er madness?

It’s really weird, but a Japanese news channel suddenly appeared on my over-the-air TV lineup the other day. The news anchors were all Japanese, but they spoke in English.
And they slammed China every chance they could. They even called the Covid virus “the CCP virus”.
It begs the question, what if we left the Japs alone when they invaded China before WWII. Would the Japs have turned into the real threat that today’s China turned out to be?

I’d have to say yes. The Japanese government thought the US would sue for peace right after Pearl Harbor. So Tojo drew up a proposed peace treaty. He wanted (among other things) Alaska, Hawaii, and Cuba!
The Japs wanted it all then. The Chinese want it all now.

Remember, that Tojo was relatively late onto the scene, before him, the Japs weren’t so hardcore.
Good one!
Duterte regardless of his so-called mouth, is an agent of China. He disses the US but when it comes to the COvid People, he shuts up.
There is no way we can stop them now that they are dug in.
This move is to test Biden. There is no bad weather here for example, but the obedient press didn't bother to check it.
Duterte hates the CiA, because they got a criminal out of jail when he was a mayor.
The CIA had their own candidates in place to win when he entered the race late and messed up their plan. One opposition paper was funded by Omidyar, a suspected CIA opetztive who paid for press manipulating to overthrow a pro Russian president in the Ukraine.
The US then opposed his war on drugs, something that has ade us safe. They cite every murder to blame Duterte but don't compare it to the previous murder rate, which was quite high, or notice that some murders were private hits because the courts and cops didn't prosecute the perpetrator.
And now China is playing the savior by supplying vaccines...
