    And those they cannot bully militarily like what they are doing in the WPS, the CHINA WUHAN VIRUS country does so in other ways: Estonia warns of "silenced world dominated by Beijing"

    Not the WPS but the CHINA WUHAN VIRUS country finally owns up to casualties in their clash with India last year: China finally admits casualties during Galwan clash; reveals names of dead PLA soldiers

    Here is India's take on the long overdue tsaynis disclosure: "China Never Thought That India Will Retaliate In Such A Manner" Says Maj. Gen SP Sinha (Retd) - YouTube

    Tsayna can't bully India unlike what they are doing in the WPS.

    German warship to cross S. China Sea

    Germany will cross but steer clear of the 12 nautical mile radius of the areas reclaimed by the CHINA WUHAN VIRUS country.

    China’s three warfares
    In 2003, China adopted the Three Warfares strategy to seize the South China Sea for economic and military purposes without triggering a war. The Chinese Communist Party, the Central Committee, and the Central Military Commission approved the strategy. China’s actions in the South China Sea must be viewed in light of its Three Warfares strategy.

    The First Warfare is a propaganda campaign, declaring to the world that the South China Sea belonged to China since antiquity. In the Position Paper it submitted to the Arbitral Tribunal at The Hague, China stated: “Chinese activities in the South China Sea date back to over 2,000 years ago. China was the first country to discover, name, explore, and exploit the resources of the South China Sea Islands and the first to continuously exercise sovereign powers over them.”

    The Second Warfare is a blatant intimidation of other coastal states in the South China Sea. From 2013-15, China built three huge air and naval bases in the Spratlys that project overwhelming military power, intimidating other claimant states into accepting China’s nine-dash line as China’s national boundary in the South China Sea. However, the Tribunal ruled that China’s nine-dash line cannot serve as basis to claim maritime zones, and thus in the South China Sea there are high seas which belong to all mankind, and there are exclusive economic zones which belong exclusively to the adjacent coastal states.

    The Third Warfare is China’s legal argument that its sovereign rights to the South China Sea predated the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (Unclos) which China claims cannot prejudice sovereign rights that had vested prior to 1982. This is part of China’s continuing effort to introduce “Chinese characteristics” into international law, and those characteristics are naturally designed to serve solely China’s national interest. However, the Tribunal ruled that all states that ratified Unclos had agreed that all historic rights to maritime resources beyond what Unclos allows were extinguished when Unclos took effect.

    The Tribunal held: “The Tribunal concludes that China’s claim to historic rights to the living and non-living resources within the ‘nine-dash line’ is incompatible with the Convention xxx. [A]ny historic rights that China may have had to the living and non-living resources within the ‘nine-dash line’ were superseded, as a matter of law and as between the Philippines and China, by the limits of the maritime zones provided for by the Convention.” Thus, this legal warfare of China is also dead in the water.

    Recently, China enacted a new law that authorizes its coast guard to fire on foreign vessels operating outside of China’s Unclos-recognized maritime zones but within its notorious nine-dash line. This means that Chinese coast guard vessels can fire on Vietnamese, Malaysian, Philippine, and Indonesian vessels engaged in fishing or surveying within their own countries’ exclusive economic zones that fall within China’s nine-dash line. This is a grave violation of the UN Charter, which expressly outlaws the use or threat of force to settle territorial or maritime disputes between states. The whole world must oppose China’s latest attempt to reshape international law to serve solely China’s national interest. Accepting China’s promise that it will “exercise restraint” in implementing its new law is a fool’s assurance, for China’s new law not only violates the UN Charter, it can also be used by China at any time against any coastal state.

    When the Philippines filed the arbitration suit against the claims of the CHINA WUHAN VIRUS country in the West Philippine Sea and subsequently these claims were declared without legal basis in international law, it put a big monkey wrench to their strategy.

    On this, it was indeed a wise and good move to file that arbitration suit.

    From a viber group. This is going around. First time I heard of it & I cannot confirm the veracity of it.

    May l ask each of you to pray that the People of Palawan be blessed with the righteousness of mind to Vote No to the Plebiscite dividing Palawan into three smaller provinces because if the Plebiscite wins, the westernmost tip of Palawan will become the first province of CHINA in the Philippines. Signigicant parcels of land have already been covertly bought by Chinese agents and breaking Palawan into three will be the final straw for China to own the westernmost tip of our mainland, from where they will govern the entire West Philippine Sea, it is even possible that they will make this purchase their easternmost point in their "Nine Dash Line" claim. The DILG has been at the center of this effort for years under Duterte and the Gloria Arroyo faction in the House have been working on this secretly for years in cahoots with the DILG.

    If they win on Sunday, GOD help us all.

    More of Alvarez political clan maneuvering yan and not China claiming a province from Palawan archipelago. Plus buying a land owned by a sovereign state requires state approval, not local government approval only. Tsaka in violation of the Constitution yan so malabo mangyari. Sa giyera lang pwede makuha ang isang sovereign territory - or part of it - ng ibang state.

    aside from creating favorable government positions for favored political allies, never mind the consequent additional government expenses therein,
    i see no real reason why palawan should be cut up.

    Cebu nga na 7 cities na isa lang Governor. California, if a nation is ranked 5th in economy, only has 1 governor as well.

    Bureaucracy lang talaga yan. Tsk. Sadly PPC residents can't vote. HUC na kasi, separate local government unit na sa province.
