China’s claims don’t stand up to any scrutiny. The whole world has seen over and over how China has been attempting to setup a conflict with any country operating in this general area. We see them bumping into ships, coming within feet of aircraft, setting up chain nets, etc. For them to say “oh look the Phillipines hit us!” is outrageous. China is nothing more than a school yard bully who repeats “stop hitting yourself”, and like a bully their behaviour comes from a place of deep inadequacy and insecurity.

Fuck CCP.

If you stare down literally everyone while walking toward them, and don’t make any move to avoid them, you don’t get to blame them for you running into them.

Similarly, if you smell dog shit everywhere you go today, don’t blame everyone else while your shoe is literally caked in it.

China really wants a 3rd world War.
