3 possible outcomes that may come off the Hong Kong riots

The Hong Kong “protests” have now degenerated into a violent and destructive riot. What started as a peaceful “activist” display has become a menace to the very future of the once prosperous former British colony. Whatever way China is doing in response to these riots, their goal is quite clear — to bring Hong Kong…

China proves that might – and MONEY – makes it RIGHT

China proves that might – and MONEY – makes it RIGHT

Hong Kong’s quaint experiment with liberal Western democracy is coming to an end. That, of course, is not the Hollywood ending a generation of snowflakes raised on a diet of Walt Disney dramas like Frozen is expecting. While there is a lot of noise on social media egging on the embattled protesters massing on Hong…

Duterte’s critics do not understand Asian culture and his approach to China

Posted on July 10, 2019July 13, 2019 By Ilda 2 Comments on Duterte’s critics do not understand Asian culture and his approach to China
Duterte’s critics do not understand Asian culture and his approach to China

So-called political analyst Richard Heydarian drew a lot of criticism recently after publishing an article titled Duterte’s independent foreign policy that contained nothing but blank space. He was trying to prove that Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is doing nothing to address the issues with China over disputed islands especially after the collision incident involving a…

Here are the steps that need to be taken to resolve the 2019 Reed Bank Incident involving Yuemaobinyu 42212 and F/B Gem-Vir 1

Rather than achieve clarity surrounding the the Reed Bank “collision” incident the media and the “thought leaders” of the Opposition have been pretty much useless. Therefore it falls on the more intelligent participants in the Philippines’ political discourse to chart a way forward. First thing is to define objectives. The case involves only three considerations:…

Shrill IRRESPONSIBILITY unites the Opposition and Media in war mongering against China

Posted on June 19, 2019June 19, 2019 By benign0 5 Comments on Shrill IRRESPONSIBILITY unites the Opposition and Media in war mongering against China
Shrill IRRESPONSIBILITY unites the Opposition and Media in war mongering against China

Did the Philippine government cause the collision between the Chinese vessel and the Filipino fishing boat at Reed Bank? For that matter, did the Chinese government cause it? The way certain “thought leaders” and “activists” of the current Opposition carry on screeching about going to war with China, you’d think the governments of both countries…

False Patriotism Amidst the Recto Bank Fishing Boat Incident

Posted on June 19, 2019 By C. Seamus Hermoso 9 Comments on False Patriotism Amidst the Recto Bank Fishing Boat Incident
False Patriotism Amidst the Recto Bank Fishing Boat Incident

“Thank you Vietnam” posts with both Philippine flag and Vietnamese flag in the background. Anti-China battle cries and social media campaigns pointing out that your President isn’t doing anything to condemn China. These now flood my Facebook timeline and I can’t help but say my piece in these posts. The issue of a Chinese vessel…

Former President BS Aquino was an even bigger sucker to China than President Duterte ever was

Former President BS Aquino was an even bigger sucker to China than President Duterte ever was

Filipinos of all people should know that you need strong and capable enforcement to ensure compliance to the law. They, after all, form a society of people that don’t generally abide by the law unless subject to a big stick. Look at Manila’s streets and you will find multiple layers of redundant enforcement measures —…

Heads-up: The One-China Policy could soon include Palawan and Singapore

Heads-up: The One-China Policy could soon include Palawan and Singapore

While our senators will soon be out in the public square basking in free-media-mileage limelight debating over whether China is friend or foe after that (in Mar’s terminology) unfortunate “mis-encounter” in the sea that left a hapless Penoy-powered Pinoy boat sinking after getting rammed by a Chinese vessel, right under their noses is Mainland China…
