On East Asia Tonight (Jul 9), a look at what Japan and South Korea are bringing to the NATO Summit in Washington; elite North Korean army trainees visit Russia; and the Philippines slams Chinese accusations of reef damage in the South China Sea. We also look at Australia's warning of 'repeated' attacks by state-backed Chinese hackers, and BYD plans for a new EV plant in Türkiye.

China has come a long way, despite the constant negative press covfefe.

[idrisow]

All these analysts don't tell the actual truth about what these NATO SUMMITS were be doing.

We are equally same. Let's be together, japanees, korean, chinees, Vietnamese, Taiwane, Thai

[RommelSebuc]

such a liar . China really destroyed the reef inside the Philippine EEZ since they built artificial military bases inside the Philippine EEZ, not the BRP SIERRA MADRE.

[kclim]

What has NATO done? What about doing something on Israel? Oh yes they can't and we know why...

Asia has been peaceful all these years. Easier to let Asia solve our own issues & dont come here to create issues

*"You will never become a Westerner!"* cried from the top China's 🇨🇳 diplomat Wang Yi
shows how desperate the Chinese regime is,
when its two strong neighbors, *Japan and South Korea, * cooperate with the US in imposing chip restrictions on China.

[veronmath]

Jealous will never give the United States to achieve what China has achieved and jealous won't work. The time for the United States is gone my friend

[BrandyHeng]

Get ready to melt like hot chocolate 😅

[Gwkitty]
