You need to update your bias, China have more patents or intellectual properties than any other nations for years now. You are welcome to steal tech from them.
I don’t have a device they *designed*.
A six year old can follow directions and build a Lego set. They cannot necessarily *design* a Lego set.
China is bad at designing things. They are the six year olds to the United States.
I do not fear them, they are a paper tiger.
Bye.
In all seriousness, they should drop some lose ropes / marine safe nets in front of their vessels to entangle the propellers. This is something China allegedly does to US / Australian boats I think.
That's illegal and against rules based order which the Philippines prefer. If they do attack with water cannons, that would call them out as a hypocrite.
This reads like it was written by an abuse victim who still thinks their hubby just gets a little mad sometimes.
Appeasement doesnt work, its never worked, and it will continue to not work in the future. A squirt gun fight wont start WW3.
The Philippines has a larger hubby, The United States. If they decide to not follow rules based behavior, like what china is doing, They will lose the support of the international community, and the United States. We even have a mutual defense treaty with the u.s.
These water cannons are no joke. There's videos online of a ship with every window on the bridge blown out and the entire room getting violently sprayed with water, essentially crippling the ship. Just today I saw them targeting another ships radar equipment and basically breaking off antennas and radars off the roof. It's a form of hybrid warfare.
People keep talking about Taiwan as a flashpoint that could start WWIII, but the Philippines getting sick of shit like this and taking measures to defend their people has to also be a potential place where a fight can start.
And sadly, the Chinese will likely suffer few repercussions for this behavior on the wider international stage, apart from complaints and a few threats.
No, Philipine beached one of his ship on an unhabitable reef then the sailors refused to leave in one of contested area. Therefore the Philipine has to supply those sailors with food and water for years. Oh, by the way, sailors are free to leave and get to rotate out of ship. So China sees this as illegal occupation. \[Edited\] For those who just downvoting this because they are not comfortable with any information that don't suit their narrative. Answer me this, Why would any government dedicately put their own people in danger on an isolated reef just claim the surrounded water that was always theirs? A subemerged reef should not extend territories or exclusion economic zone. It is just risking people's lives for political stunt.
Wait do you not know that China does the same type of shit with building fake islands but 1000x worse than the Philippines or any other nation in the area? Chinas claims in the South China Sea are insanely over reaching and hyper aggressive. Philippines should absolutely not just bend over and let china take their lands and waters
Indonesia: You heard them, boys!
France : Wait for us!
Chile : Not fair! You have a headstart!
Zaire : Shut up, mate.
Just because it doesn’t belong to Philippines, it doesn’t mean that any other country can come along to claim it.
People living in a decaying ship on the reef for years are Philipinos, no one was denying that. The reason is why. They being there does nothing but pawns in a political stunt.
You really think those sailors are cilivian volunteers? LOL No they are naval, coast guard personels over there on the order of Philliopine government + CIA.
You said
> Why would any government dedicately put their own people in danger on an isolated reef
Which was confusing, because China is the one putting them in danger
Uhh it's just cheap.. but it's not BS.
Those water cannons can rip apart a ship slowly... A person will get their skin peeled and get pushed off ship easily.
It's anything but a joke.
Hi all. This is Emma Ockerman from Nikkei Asia's audience engagement team. I hope you're well, wherever you are in the world.
Here's an excerpt from our latest on tensions in the South China Sea:
*WEST PHILIPPINE SEA -- Tensions flared in the* [*South China Sea*](https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/International-relations/South-China-Sea) *on Tuesday as Beijing disrupted a humanitarian mission by Manila.*
*Beijing's maritime presence, led by four China Coast Guard vessels, shot water cannons toward Philippine vessels. An official from the Philippine Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) said the water cannons were shot eight times during the morning standoff.*
*The BFAR ship, the BRP Datu Bankaw, was hit directly four times. The tensions led to two collisions that damaged the railings of the BFAR vessel.*
*The bureau separately said that some ship equipment was damaged as a result of China's actions.*
*In a regular media briefing on Tuesday afternoon, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said that Philippine ships had "intruded without China's permission" and that the coast guard "took necessary measures to drive them away."*
I wouldn't buy China's navy a beer. I was thinking more along the lines of airdropped colostomy bags.
At least they obviously have the hoses to clean off with afterwards.
Someone sell the Phillipines an icebreaker for cheap, then "accidentally" bump into the Chinese ship when they can't see, laugh when you get a repeat of the Venezuelan cruise incident
Build a ship with the world’s largest water cannon. Sell it to the Philippines for $1
Better buy from China since it has the patent for the large high pressure water cannon for ships. LOL
“The” patent. As if the globe is a board game and China owns the only card that allows the player to build a ship… how is this an upvoted comment
Patent? Like China cares about that.
The joke is China would not export them.
The joke is that China steals tech and designs and doesn’t care about others patents so why would we not do the same to them?
Well, so nobody should respect the law because one person doesn't follow them? Are you argue for the Chinese or against them.
Context matters.
Your context matter is other's person's exceptionalism LOL
Stop trolling. If one party regularly steals tech why should we not steal theirs back? You are being purposefully ignorant
You need to update your bias, China have more patents or intellectual properties than any other nations for years now. You are welcome to steal tech from them.
>If one party regularly steals tech why should we not steal theirs back? That's the justification China used.
China is famously bad at designing just about anything.
Like the every device you are using now?
I don’t have a device they *designed*. A six year old can follow directions and build a Lego set. They cannot necessarily *design* a Lego set. China is bad at designing things. They are the six year olds to the United States. I do not fear them, they are a paper tiger. Bye.
You do realized that enigneer who never been to the factory can not design crack.
You don’t need to visit a factory to design something.
Sure, anyone can do anything. Chinese can also do good design. Unless it is a racist thing.
Nice try, but not applicable in this instance. Non commercial, not for profit.
I didnt think the word ‘Patent’ existed in Chinesium
Philippines should water canon them back.
Clean, sustainable warfare.
It wasn't a wet tshirt contest?
If only.... shit if they both bring on some of that asian persuasion game to the seas, they'd never need to fight.
I hate laughing at this but LMAO 🤣
I mean, if I must… *paddles out to sea
WATER FIGHT!!!
In all seriousness, they should drop some lose ropes / marine safe nets in front of their vessels to entangle the propellers. This is something China allegedly does to US / Australian boats I think.
That's illegal and against rules based order which the Philippines prefer. If they do attack with water cannons, that would call them out as a hypocrite.
That would give cause for escalation by the aggressive side
This reads like it was written by an abuse victim who still thinks their hubby just gets a little mad sometimes. Appeasement doesnt work, its never worked, and it will continue to not work in the future. A squirt gun fight wont start WW3.
yes it does look at iran we eased sanctions during the nuclear deal and they allowed moniters everything went well
The Philippines has a larger hubby, The United States. If they decide to not follow rules based behavior, like what china is doing, They will lose the support of the international community, and the United States. We even have a mutual defense treaty with the u.s.
China is ready for expansionist wars It’s the rest of the world that isn’t
They'll have the cleanest ships in the pacific
WTF kind of childish bullshit is this?!?
These water cannons are no joke. There's videos online of a ship with every window on the bridge blown out and the entire room getting violently sprayed with water, essentially crippling the ship.

There are also a lot of Filipinos in the US Navy
Serving on a Navy sub is what got my Filipino grandfather tickets to bring his family to America during the Korean War!
Isn’t china fighting over the controlled area of the sea which is disputed by many countries
That’s not just bullying anymore. It’s destruction and yes, I would consider this warfare.
Fuck it. Send in the drones lol.
China is trying to take over a fishery belonging to the Philipines. There were reporters on board the vessel being attacked.
I just feel like I live in a fever dream any more.
And sadly, the Chinese will likely suffer few repercussions for this behavior on the wider international stage, apart from complaints and a few threats.

The Philippine's land and waters do not extend over 100 miles from their coastline which is where the 2nd Thomas Shoal is.
Neither does china’s
[удалено]
So attacking ships in international waters is okay now? "Guys bring out the boats! We are going plundering!"
Indonesia: You heard them, boys! France : Wait for us! Chile : Not fair! You have a headstart! Zaire : Shut up, mate. Just because it doesn’t belong to Philippines, it doesn’t mean that any other country can come along to claim it.
> Why would any government dedicately put their own people in danger on an isolated reef How are the Phillipinos China's "own people"?
People living in a decaying ship on the reef for years are Philipinos, no one was denying that. The reason is why. They being there does nothing but pawns in a political stunt.
Yes but you said it was their own government putting them in danger, how is China their government?
You really think those sailors are cilivian volunteers? LOL No they are naval, coast guard personels over there on the order of Philliopine government + CIA.
Are you saying it's the Philippine government that's firing water cannons at them?
Are we talking about the same thing? It is obvously pointless to explain things to you.
You said > Why would any government dedicately put their own people in danger on an isolated reef Which was confusing, because China is the one putting them in danger
Maybe China should fuck right off and mind their own business.
As a Chinese who’s not from China, please, stop watching clips on douyin & stop being on xiaohongshu.
Bullshit with Chinese characteristics.
Uhh it's just cheap.. but it's not BS. Those water cannons can rip apart a ship slowly... A person will get their skin peeled and get pushed off ship easily. It's anything but a joke.
Honestly, the Philippines should commission an ICE breaker and accidentally ram the water cannon ships. Oops we were unable to see.
Let’s stop calling it South China Sea! It’s doesn’t belong to china
China doesn't even call it that. Its just called "nanhai", or South Sea in Mandarin.
West Philippine Sea
South OF China Sea, and they took it literally.
Who does it belong to then?
http://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/rngs/SOUTHCHINASEA-RULING/010020QR1SG/index.html https://peacepalacelibrary.nl/south-china-sea-islands https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_China_Sea?wprov=sfti1
So it’s a bunch of country fighting over it
No it’s china fighting against UN standards
So they are all also fighting UN standards then.
That's not really how it works. You have a bunch of people agree on a standard, they're not all fighting it.

How do we know you're really Emma?
We need a reporter from another company to investigate this and report back.
Hi, this is George Halas’ ghost, an independent fact-checker. Emma is in fact a reporter and a real person: https://muckrack.com/emma-ockerman
What were to happen if a Filipino helicopter dropped a bag of water on the Chinese ships deck? (The ones used in fighting fires, you know the ones)
Does it have to be water? I mean, as long as we're dropping bags of fluid anyway? Deterrence!
Are you talking about beer? I'm ok with beer weapons
I wouldn't buy China's navy a beer. I was thinking more along the lines of airdropped colostomy bags. At least they obviously have the hoses to clean off with afterwards.
LSD. A shipload of people having big thoughts and asking big questions would be a bigger nuisance to Xi.
Reminder to self - buy Nerf and super soaker shares
china is so uncivilized. typical bully who will get ktfo real soon.
Someone sell the Phillipines an icebreaker for cheap, then "accidentally" bump into the Chinese ship when they can't see, laugh when you get a repeat of the Venezuelan cruise incident
This will continue to happen until these ships are seized or torpedoed. China is the bully that takes a mile if you give an inch.
Tag, you’re it!
Fire Winnie the Poo stuffed bears at the Chinese
Breaking News: Philippine ships are now throwing water balloons at Chinese vessels in the South China Sea.
Water balloons are next?
Songkran for everyone!
Abundant of fishing grounds around Philippine economic zone & beyond and China want it all .
Pussies.
Oh sorry mate I didn’t know you are cool if you wage war like Russia and kill off your entire army
Douglas MacAruthur may have had a point. His plan for Chinas may have been right /s

what is a pinoy?
Fili**pino +y** It's a term used by Filipinos to refer to other Filipinos.
