September 20th, 2019 12:57 PM #384I'm sorry but I think you're misunderstanding what a FONOP really is. It's not a definitive action that demands China and other claimants to stop their construction and reclamation activities in WPS.
A FONOP is basically just a demonstration by US and friends that they do not acknowledge any excessive maritime claim. Of course such action is provocative and the Chinese feel disrespected because their "indisputable sovereignity" claim is not being honored but do you think they'll be stupid enough to start firing out of anger and frustration? Probably not because it goes against their long term strategy. They'll just react strongly with words and flex their own military muscle as well.

The US does this to other countries as well including the PH. Funny how FONOPs are normally conducted by armed naval vessels and not civilian maritime vessels. I guess you can call that forceful way of enforcing freedom of navigation.

Dati na silang unrefined and uneducated, problema naman sa next generation, bcoz the parents have money, puro naman mga soiled brats or what they called little emperors. What I've heard is that China won't meddle sa nagaganap now sa HK, ipaubaya daw nila sa HK government to settle the problem, they won't bite the trap daw that the US and it's ally laid out, yan ang mga kwento dito.

and those rich kids have no values
they get drunk, crash their luxury cars killing or injuring people like wala lang...
coz their parents' money and connections can buy them out of trouble
money is their god

older folks, parents want things to return to normal but the younger gen keep on protesting
nag aaway mga anak at magulang

those protesters are destroying their world class infrastructure (like MTR)

it's like destroying appliances and furniture in your house coz you're mad at your neighbor
