[Frontliner]

CHINA SHOULD KNOW WHAT IS THE MEANING OF "ILLEGAL CLAIM"

[Hmonks]

The only way to solve this problem is to turn Chinese vessels to Chinese takeout for the fishes.

[alexmonteza]

Correction Scarborough shoal is located 125NM West of Luzon and not part of South China sea.... west Philippine sea rather within our exclusive economic zone is a part of the Philippines continental shelf

[AgostoSales]

Stop calling it south China sea cause China mis interpreted that word, instead call it West Philippines sea very clear that area belongs to EEZ of the Philippines...

[ricardocoloyan]

Not following the international law of the Sea is the main cause of the conflict.

[ancientsalde]

It's time for for all asean countries like India, Vietnam, Indonesia The Philippines, Malaysia, Brunie, Singapore, Thailand and Cambodia to fight China's aggression in south china sea.

[Seasideview]

The solution is for all nations to cooperate in sea patrols to demonstrate the importance of freedom of navigation and adherence to UNCLOS of China.

[jorlybuo]

Stop using or calling that indo pacific area as SOUTH CHINA SEA..ASEAN NATION must agree and make a resolution to change it to ASEAN SEA..

[commentatorxyz]

For Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Vietnam, these islands are as important as Nicobar islands are for India.

[lillycookie]

Thank you so much all allies for helping the philippines .

[noside]

Funny how the Chinese defence Minister asserts their rights to a territorial sovereignty over 2000+ KM from their nearest shoreline 😂😂😂😂

[DWCTbatch]

correction: the water cannon incident happened at Ayungjn Shoal not in Scarborough Shoal. both shoals are inside the EEZ of the Philippines.

[Theosapologetics]

Filipinos doesn’t usually wants war they are known as defensive people even their characters as people are defensive not invasive.
They even gave up their historical land (SABAH) to Malaysia for peace and no more war.

But usually they set limits when that limits are abused you will find out .

ARABS, GREEKS, SPANISH, PORTUGUESE, JAPANESE, BRITISH/AMERICANS they’ve tried and won the battle but lost the war.

Filipinos are known in resilience and so nationalistic when certain boundaries are abused.
The thousand islands helped them overcome the odds and defeated colononizers though not in colonial war fashion but in gorilla warfare.

China knows it very well that Filipinos just don’t die they keep reoccurring multiplying.

[Peggyg]

These other nations within the South China Sea need to increase their military budget. They can at least acquire the ability to hurt China at sea. China has a lot more to loose.

[robinrahul]

China also own moon through China 10th century history from ping pong dynasty😂😂😂

[garyverano]

9-line obviously not acceptable by simply looking at the map. China is too far out yes they can claim the ocean fronting china but not the west Philippine sea.

[LKAtienza-pf]

Go Philippines, Vietnam, indonesia, malaysia and india! Fight for what is yours !

[rameshrai]

If China wouldn't occupy these islands obviously AUKUS will. Philippines is not interested with these islands they're already Americano.
