Philippines says China blocked, water-cannoned boat in S. China Sea

The Philippines has joined a military alliance with boss USA to start war with China, the area is part of China, so who wrote this article?

The US needs to sail a destroyer right up to any Chinese artificial reefs in the Philippines EEZ.

Sink the chinese

Yeah well talk is cheap

What ya gonna do about it USA ?

Water cannon them back in a pissing contest ?

We don't do pissing contests. If necessary we just blow them to bits. Ask the Wagner bois who got too big for their britches in Syria.

No one in Asia calls it the South China Seas. What a stupid Anglicized name. It’s the South Seas or the East Seas or the West Philippines Seas depending on the country.

Since there is a dispute, Western countries should refrain from using the South China Seas and opt for a neutral name.

No one in Asia calls it the South China Seas.

Japan is in Asia, and Japan calls it "南シナ海": literally the South China Sea.

So, the folks who think that the American government can seize ships in violation of international law, harass ships sailing in their own country's waters halfway around the world from America are freaking out that China is copying American behavior in a sea that is called Chinese.

Like Trump freaking out about other people's lies, it would be amusing if it wasn't so dangerous.

The Phillipines isn't under any kind of internantional sanctions, nor is it doing anything that would historically cause that. Thank you for playing.

Someone has conflated American/White Bloc sanctions for valid international sanctions, and American accusations of bad behavior for evidence of actual bad behavior, the sort of alternate facts thinking Trump and his crowd engage in.

China has no right to do anything to a Phillipine vessel in its EEZ, nor does it have the right to do anything to an American one. China needs to be pushed on this hard.

I think Philippines and Japan should collaborate on designing and building heavily reinforced coast guard patrol ships designed to withstand shouldering and ramming.

They might also wish to collaborate on another class of patrol ship with high speed that can out run and out maneuver Chinese ships. It might be a wave piercing tri hull like the big auto and passenger ferries Austal builds for Fred Olsen Lines (ex: Benchijigua Express shown below) or maybe a surface effect ship along the lines of an enlarged version of Norways Skjold class patrol ships.

And make sure they have the biggest and baddest LRADs and LRAD protection while they are at it.

You’re right on that. No countries surrounding the seas call it the South China Seas.

I'm glad that TINC is admitting that the US has no right to seize ANY Russian or Iranian vessels, or to threaten Iranian vessels in their EEZ, which makes his previous claims last week that it did disingenuous.

And I hope he continues to admit that truth as the US continues to try and protect pirates and smugglers and vessels that have caused collisions in the Persian Gulf.

I was thinking more along the lines of some remotely operated water guns spraying something that is more slippery than oil and smells really bad (:

You are just confirming that the US has every right to blow a petulant Chinese coast guard ship out of the water.

Name one conflict the USA has won or successfully intervened peacefully ?

Every conflict except Vietnam and Afghanistan. Your hero China lost to Vietnam, too.

The operational actions of the CCP are flagrantly careless and seriously endanger regional peace and security. Furthermore, these actions flagrantly violate the Philippines' basic right to free navigation in the South China Sea, which is protected by international law.

China Coast Guard spokesman Gan Yu responded that China has "indisputable" sovereignty over the Spratly Islands and their adjacent waters, including the Second Thomas Shoal.

But it has been disputed AND ruled by an internationally recognized tribunal. Chine isn't the owner. Speaking lies about claims doesn't make them true. Eventually, a Chinese ship will "disappear" near Philippine owned islands. Then everyone else in the world will deny knowing anything about it. That's where China is headed.

We do see that Russia paid trolls https://time.com/4457110/internet-trolls/ has been told to agree with Chinese expansion efforts. There is no shame, as long as they can cover it up or twist their actions through censorship back home. I remember when Russians were honorable. I hope some still are and that they gain power. The age of liars needs to end.
